Oh man,
I sooo agree.
The dialogue in all three movies was appalling! Especially the 'romance' between the Princess and Whatshisface. So 'all the hell he went through' to become Darth...was just, well...silly. Because the movies were silly.
I swear it was written by an 11 year old.
MST3K is no longer in production, but check out some of the bad-movie snark review sites (jabootu.com, agonybooth.com).
I don't know what it is about these sissy boys being considered "sexy" in our country. I mean, come on...Jude Law sexy?
Yea, like Leo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, fruitcake boy sexy. Sorry, but these guys aren't sexy. And they shouldn't be "leading men." Just my humble womanly opinion. Guys should be guys. Period.
It had some really good parts, but over all, it was excruciating slow and unnecessarily long. I was really looking forward to it but I was disappointed as heck.
I love Nightmare before Christmas, it's on my annual holiday watching list. Couldn't stand more than 5 minutes of Forrest Gump.
Class 1. A bad movie you sit through because of peer pressure :
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (years ago, I cheered for Frampton to jump off the building at the end)
Class 2. A really bad movie you force yourself to watch because, darn it, you paid for it!
The Last Samurai
Class 3. Horrifyingly bad movies you simply leave, dragging yourself up the aisle with your arms because your legs have gone numb from shock
Natural Born Killers
I loved "Forrest Gump".
I do have a soft spot as well for Tom Hanks, but I REALLY think Gary Sinise is a talented actor. I loved his character, "Lt. Dan".
A sweet movie.
But that's what Independence Day was supposed to be: a comic book on film.
Worst movie of all time:
"The Trial of Billy Jack."
This stinker set a new standard for crappy production, lousy cinematography, stilted acting, cardboard cutout characters, absurd dialogue, and self-congratulatory preachiness wrapped in a package of obsessively self-absorbed manufactured emotion and futile attempts at pensive manipulation.
Anyone who disagrees that that is the worst movie ever, is just wrong.
I saw this when a friend won a couple of free passes to a sneak preview. I was overcharged, and want my two hours back.
Salvador was a good movie. Well, I liked it anyway, possibly because James Woods is the best 'weasel' actor there is and that was one of his best performances.
Here are mine (I'm sure some will disagree). My movie pain threshold is pretty high:
Class 1:
"The English Patient"-some parts were good, great cinematography, but mostly horrible characters I could care less about. Juliet Binoche is a notable exception.
"Casino"-Tired retread of the mafia theme. Actually fell asleep during this one. Know lots of people who love it.
Class 2:
"Finding Nemo" - political PETA garbage way over the top
"Spawn" - my younger cousin dragged me to this stinker
"Action Jackson" - thanks to my buddies in high school
"Showgirls" - went cause I heard it was racy. Ugh.
"Battlefield Earth" - good grief, this stank from the get-go
Class 3:
"Nadja" - rented this Vampire movie and actually stopped it. Very rare that I don't watch a movie through to the end no matter the pain (see Class 2 examples). This is the only one I can think of that I actually shut off and/or walked out.
I'll bet you like Russell Crowe in "Master and Commander"...:)
Or, perhaps, Good old John Wayne!
FACE/OFF!
We need MST3K . . . now more than ever . . .
Forrest Gump was mass market crap.
I love how they took it on in "Cecil B. Demented", that and Patch Adams. Funny movie about cinema terrorists.
All right! Bad movie time! My pick for worst movie ever:
THE DARK BACKWARDS
Staring: Lara Flynn Boyle, Judd Nelson, Rob Lowe, and Wayne Newton. (Yes, THE Wayne Newton) I Don't think it even made it to the theaters. Considering it is about a bad stand-up comic who grows a third arm from the middle of his back and has a necrophiliac gabageman scene,no one booked it. It does show up on cable fairly often, rated hard "R", and I believe large quanities of booze are required to watch it. What were these actors thinking?
I do have to agree. There were some good parts.
Like the scenes where Jackson befriends that little girl that lived on the plantation and later finds out that she died of scarlet fever.
