The Sixth Sense, most of Unbreakable, and Signs.

Some of the stupidest movies I have ever seen.

Ok,

1) They weren't exceptional boobies.
2) There are better movies out there with MORE boobies and BETTER boobies!!
3) I think I've seen a porn or two that had better storylines than "Starship Troopers." IT IS THAT BAD.

That is all.

The plot of Starship Troopers was about as good as that of a propaganda film, which might've been the point.

The black girl had nice ones. I thought most of the others were okay.

2) There are better movies out there with MORE boobies and BETTER boobies!!

True, but most boobies now are fake, I like real ones even if they have flaws.

3) I think've seen a porn or two that had better storylines than "Starship Troopers." IT IS THAT BAD.

But porn movies have terrible music. "Chick-a-chick-a-bow-bow"

The Rocky Horror Picture Show - I didn't like it. I don't think people really watch this movie, so much as use it for a backdrop at parties.

Armageddon - See Deep Impact.

City Of Angels - I tried to like this movie. I really did.

The Spy Who Shagged Me - Yes, it's cute the first time. It doesn't stand the test of time, though.

The Sixth Sense - There's only so much of Bruce Willis looking confused I can take.

Deep Impact - See Armageddon.

Even Leonard Maltin gave it like 3 starts or something (which is what he gave "Star Wars," if I remember my movie book correctly--WHAT?! They are SO not on the same level!). It was absolute trash! Huge, unconvincing compu-bugs, lots and LOTS of gore, and a shower scene with boobies. Big whoop. Was there a storyline in there somewhere? I missed it if it was there. Ugh.

It was a satire. And it's Verhoeven. Knowing that you can expect one of three things. Gratutious violence. Gratutious nudity. Or Gratutious violence and nudity.

I hated Lord of The Rings. I don't see what the big deal is all about. It was boring as hell and pointless.

Right. It can be satirical and a pile of steaming shit at the same time, IMO.

Titanic, Eyes Wide Shut, and Vanilla Sky

The media blitz is what killed them for me. I also DETEST most Chick Flicks unless it's about gay guys and/or men in spandex.

Tsyroc · Post by **Tsyroc** » 2003-02-24 03:53pm

Vanilla Sky was an okay movie but the revelation at the end of Jacob's Ladder was better 10 years ago.

I don't like Gone With the Wind. It's not a bad movie. I just don't like Scarlett and I think it is way over hyped on how good it's supposed to be.

I also don't like E.T. for much the same reason. Good movie, little cutesie, but it gets on my nerves because so many people make such a big deal out of it. I'm glad that all the parents are pumped because there's a good movie that they and their kids can like but that doesn't make it the be all end all of films.

There's a Grease 2? Why, God? WHY?

Because there was money to be made.

It's like Dusk till Dawn 3...who knows why, but it exists.

As for mine...

Titanic(was more into my bag of snacks)

Signs...urgh really didn't need it plowed into my head....and the variety of little things got to.

Post by **Coyote** » 2003-02-24 05:25pm

Grease and ET. Both licked more balls than a jawbreaker addict.

I love Verhoeven's stuff. Robocop and Starship Troopers make me laugh out loud at certain parts even to this day (anyone remember the car being advertised in Robocop? The "6000-SUX"). Starship Troopers' satire was excellent, in my opinion. The blood, gore and nudity just made it better.

As for popular movies I hate, there's Armageddon, for one. A complete piece of shit. I can suspend disbelief, but if we've got 18 days until an asteroid strikes, we're fucked. Sorry.

I liked Deep Impact a lot, to be honest. It was a very realistic scenario of what what would happen.

Half Baked, maaaaaaaan.

The fan base was worse than the movie itself imo

The Russian Dude is the best part of the movie, by far.

I really didn't see what was so big about Titanic. Sure, I kinda liked it when the ship sank, but it was so boring in my opinion.

The only good part of Armageddon was that I found some of the characters entertaining. Other than that, it was your typical doomsday scenario, and a reason why such a movie should be written by someone who actaully passed 8th grade physics.

Starship Troopers was a fun film. It was what, 90-100 minutes of brainless action?

One of those movies where you can sit in the seat at the cinema and not have to think for a while.

Titanic and anything Tom Hanks has made since Forrest Gump. I hate Tom Hanks now. I used to like him, now I can't stand him.

" if I remember my movie book correctly--WHAT?! They are SO not on the same level!).

höhö, yes they are

It was absolute trash!

hell yeah! nothing wrong with that!

Huge, unconvincing compu-bugs,

hell, yeah, the fact that they were unconvincing doesn´t change anything about the fact that they were cool.

lots and LOTS of gore,

umm... so what?

and a shower scene with boobies. Big whoop.

irrelevant.

yes, there was a storyline. but even if there hadn´t been one the movie would have been cool.

I loved Starship Troopers. I loved it even when I first saw the TV version, with the shower scene edited out.

1)The movie was good mindless FUN.

2)The movie was an excellent satire, and good at dispelling the book's militarisitc bullshit.

3)As it was supposed to be a propaganda movie, it succeded brilliantly. I've seen real Russian WWII propaganda movies, with plots even worse than this.

Have a very nice day.

Right, well, guess I fit into this topic to a 't', since it's POPULAR MOVIES THAT YOU HATE. Obviously 'Starship Troopers' fulfils criteria one since so many of you love it, and obviously I hate it (criteria two) because I found it to be a complete waste of time and it annoys the piss out of me that people try to turn such a shitty movie into something really deep and meaningful. I believe that's how D.W. feels about 'Matrix,' if I recall correctly.

Feel free to continue to tell me I'm wrong if you like, but I happen to think it's an idiotic movie and I practically felt myself get dumber while I watched it.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2003-02-24 09:19pm

Well, in school, I passed someone humming 'Go greased lightening, go greased lightening' to themselves, and this past weekend I was forced to watch the damn movie whilst on a school trip to Baltimore.

DIE! DIE DIE DIE DIE! You stupid fucking movie with your stupid fucking plot, hell the lead actress is like thirty times LESS attractive at the end...
