man, i need to watch swingers again. i dont have any probs with any scene from that amazing movie btw. i didnt like it when mike sent those awful messages either, not because it was stupid or anything, but because it hit too close to home which makes it an even more amazing scene in my opinion.
How about the ending in Chasing Amy. Or the Poop Monster in Dogma. Or the roller blading scene in Clerks. Yeah, Kevin Smith movies are pretty easy to tear apart. Why do I like Kevin Smith again?
I can't stand what Lucas did to Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He screwed up three classics with his techno rewrites.
yeah that was just weird i found it funny not necessarily "bad" but i can see how people would think it was just plain stupid The endings in rotk were fine imo there are a lot of things in the matrix sequels that bothered me, but none moreso than the whole party scene I found some of the lines in ROTK when Aragon travels the paths of the dead and is talking with the king of the damned corny Oh yeah and I hated the Rudy T cancer part in the Year of the Yao why do that and make me sad?
the architect scene was awesome. while i liked the music, i can see why people don't like the rave scene (went on too long). the T-Rex saving the day scene was also awesome, no matter which laws of physics he broke to do it. the multiple endings of ROTK were bad. an absolutely great film outside of that, but why they had to fake at least 3 endings before finally ending it i don't know. just drug on too much. weird that it would be on just as this thread is started, but in True Lies right before arnold shoots the missile with the guy hanging on it and turns to him and says "you're fired." it's actually so bad that it's awesome. it's like they just couldn't resist putting it in there. true lies is one of my favorite movies ever and my favorite combo of action and comedy ever, but that line always is so funny and cringeworthy.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" preceeded by Vader musing "Where is Padme" ruined the whole movie for me. I couldn't fathom Darth Vader doing either things, I just blurted a laugh after each one. Chasing Amy had great writing but the ending did suck.
Fellowship of the Ring - Nobody tosses a dwarf! The Two Towers - Toss me. -also- Dwarves are natural sprinters, very dangerous over short distance. (in the books the reverse is true, dwarves have incredible indurance and Dain force marches an army from the Iron Hills to Erebor in a short time.) Return of the Jedi - Ewoks break out their sticks and stones and wreck shop on "an entire legion of [the Emperor's] best troops". BULL SHUCKING FIT! Jurassic Park - swapping the girl and boy characters, and leaving out 4/5s of the book. I still bought the DVD boxed set, but man that could have been so much better of a movie.
The final 2/3 of King Kong. They had a pretty good seafaring epic going, then the whole movie was ruined when that stupid ape showed up....
In LOTR when the hobbits are jumping in slow mo on Fordo's bed. That was annoying in such a great movie. In Stripes when they go into the Eastern block. In Return of the Jedi the ewoks in general are incredibly annoying. Any great comedy movie that throws in some kind of sappy love story that doesn't really fit.
Yeah, Return of the King is probably has the second most homosexual overtones in a movie ever, right behind Top Gun...
It's funny. That used to bother me, but now I just accept it. In fact, I look at Lord of the Rings as a flat-out gay love story between Frodo and Sam. In a strange way, the movie is better when viewed that way. It works. Call it the original Brokeback Mountain. Another one: In Old School, toward the end, Luke Wilson's romance scenes with what's-her-name. Yeah, I know they needed a wholesome love story to balance things out, but those scenes were real dogs.
Donnie Darko - Every scene involving Drew Barrymore, especially the scene where she vents after being fired. I'll think of more later....
When the released German prisoner comes back and kills Adam Goldberg and Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan. A horrible movie cliche. Spielberg should be above that kind of hackneyed movie making. When Pacino grabs DeNiro's hand at the end of Heat. He should have just stood there looking sad. Grabbing his hand was too much.
