If you believe the Bible, of course...
TWG, you were at a midnight screening of Showgirls? Why oh why? Mind you, rowdy boys watching women get their breasts out in a breast baring movie, that's to be expected. I went with a friend to see Sleepers, which is a dark, serious film about child abuse. Unfortunately also in the theatre was a bunch of 15/16 year old girls who talked non-stop during the movie except for when Brad Pitt was on screen when they just gazed up at him in awe. As soon as his character was off camera, they were back to chattering again. Even over the screams of a boy being molested.
So cinematic disappointments... Titantic - utter crap. Love Actually - I'm a Richard Curtis fan but this was a cut and piece job, not one original joke in the whole 2 hours. Episode I, Episode II - you know why. The rough cut of Serenity - why did Joss cast Carrot Top as the bad guy, completely undermined the whole thing for me.
I'm just kidding about the last one.
No, I'm not, Carrot Top really is in it and he's just terrible, way over the top.
That's just a joke, there's no way that Joss would do that to us.
But Carrot Top is in there, 50 minutes at least of screen time.
I'm jesting.
Or am I?

Alexander (the Oliver Stone, Colin Farrell vehicle)
I cried and cried - am a big Mary Renault/ Alexander the Great fan (he was my teenage pin-up - I had a strange childhood!)and it ruined Alex for me for all time....

This is frustrating when you come across it isn't it. I've tried so many times to convince some of my friends that alot of the great films are in black and white. But they just resist.
All those Buster Keaton films, The Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy... My god! Casablanca, Sierra Madre, Angels with Dirty Faces, White Heat, Wages of Fear.....FILM NOIR!!!! Psycho!!!!!!

well, the effects were neat. i only vaguely remember the story, though. i remember thinking it was a little odd and kind of confusing to me, but that could just be me. maybe you are right about the realism thing. i have no real problem with famous people doing voices in standard 2D animation (which i still really love anyway).

I cast my vote for Intolerable Cruelty. I forgive a lot of weaknesses in movies, but this movie was just bad.
My runner up is League of Extraordinary Gentleman. I am not sure if I'll ever go to the movie version of another graphic novel I've read. That is unless they make Sandman or Transmetropolitan or...
I'm in for so many disappointments.

I tried for months while I was stationed in Korea to get my roommate or my pissmates (we shared a bathroom with two other guys) to watch "Arsenic and Old Lace" and they refused. They didn't want to see an "old" movie. Which wasn't even the truth. My roommate was a huge fan of war movies, especially ones with flying in them. The simple truth was that they didn't want to watch a black and white movie. Which is a shame, because most people I know, who have given Arsenic and Old Lace a shot have not been disappointed. Not by the comedy, but by...well, I won't give anything away, but almost everyone was shocked by what they were seeing.

Men in Black II - a thunderstorm took out the audio half way through the movie, so it was a nice excuse to get our money back.
Charlie's Angels Full Throttle It was full of something all right. A good plot was not it. I was excited about more tough girl action mixed with campy humor, but I don't remember a single thing about that movie except that Demi Moore had amazing abs for a woman in her forties. That does not make up for a boring plot.

Take who for granted?
Yes, that's sarcasm you hear. I've shed myself of superstition and fear. Born again into logic... that's me.

I swear every time I hear that it was too dramatic I feel like punching a hole in a wall.
