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.

YOU ARE WRONG!!!

you need to ignore people who try to turn movies like that into something really deep and meaningful and start to learn the joy of gory trash.

movies you can practice with:
wild zero
versus
premutos

Did I mention how damned ugly the lead actress is in the ending sequence of Grease? She looks like some sort of demented blonde racoon.

Hey thanks!

I'm not too much into gore, but I do like some trash. For instance, I happen to love the movie "The Faculty," which I know is awful. I love it anyway.

premutos

Do they have mucho gore or just a bit?

Well, do you think that a guy punching his fist through a guy's head and pulling it out with the camera looking through the guy's empty head is mucho gore, or just a bit?

Infidel...you cannot possibly appreciate the pleasures of great movies.

I REALLY hate Grease with a grudge. I also hate The Rocky Horror Show, Spiderman (ughh) and Titanic.

Good question?

I hated The Patriot, but I watched it anyway.
I hated Dancing With Wolves, and I couldn't even finish watching it.

I hate hate. I hate it. (guess the reference)

While I didn't in particularly like it, but I did not not like it (bad double negative, bad!) even though it was not all that historically accurate (something that I don't like).

It's not out, but I will so fucking hate "The Core" or "Core" or whatever the damn name is. My jaw was agape as I watched the preview; the utter insanity of the premise was frankly beyond even Star Trek Voyager levels.

I take it you wouldn't have liked Journey to the Center of the Earth either?

I don't think I've ever seen the movie, and it's been a long time since I read the book.

EDIT: Long enough that when I read it, I didn't know that it was a totally bogus concept.

Go figure...

As for me, one of the most overrated movies has to be Ben-Hur.
Can anyone say "Zzzzzzzzz..."?

Are you on fucking crack.......did we watch the same Ben-Hur, Roman Wargalleys, Chariot Races, Jesus...Chuck Heston.....I mean C'MON!!! Its awesome.......Although I love all the old sword and sandal epics, Barabbas, The Robe, Quo Vadis?, and Spartacus, Cleopatra(Liz Taylor when she was smokin'

)ect..

I also loved Armageddon, The Matrix, and even...I know I'm gonna get beat to death......Titanic, I thought it was fun and touching in places. That and Winslets a hottie, but then I like a woman with curves

Add Con Air and the Rock and you have a hella cool evening of film

1. The Blair Witch Project

This movie was NOT scary. It was a low budget waste of time, with no plot and nonexistant acting. (Fuck you! No, fuck YOU! Fuck, fuck, fuck for like 5 minutes straight). I actually heard that the actors were told to improvise some scenes themselves without a script. If anything, this movie is a lesson in good marketing. It's deceptive ads actually made a bunch of people think it was for real. Also, the fact that it was low budget made it immune to the snobby film critic "elites" who were on a backlash against Hollywood blockbusters at the time after Godzilla came out (which IMO wasn't even that bad, a let down but not terrible).

2. Grease

I don't hate this film, but why do people think this is such a great love story? WTF was the message of this film? Smoke up, drink, and change who you are just so that some guy would like you?

I think the difference is that IIRC when Journey to the Center of the Earth was written nobody knew better.. they don't have this excuse with The Core.

I personally hated ET, long, pointless, and had a lame ending.

Too late. I already killed him several times and Darkprimus pissed on his roasted corpse.

I hope he WAS referring to the cartoon one...that one was just too kiddyish.

I have a female friend who hates Steven Seagal, Leo Decaprio, Tom Hanks

She actually Cheers during their death scenes. We jokingly suggested making a video that was nothing but popular actor Death Scenes, and wondered how much it would sell.

I hate Titanic, Gone With the Wind, Pearl Harbor, U571, & most anything with John Wayne or John Travalta.

The other difference is that Journey to the Center of the Earth was good.

The Bad Cinema Diary on the Blair Witch Project: "From an artistic standpoint, this is an impressive exercise in ad-lib experiential filmmaking. From the audiences' standpoint, this is 90 minutes of watching some clueless whiners lost in the woods."
