Maybe I need to see THREE AMIGOS again, like I did with Tommy Boy. You all seem to like it. I just remember that dance, and I have never been much of a Chevy Chase fan. ------------------ I am an invisible man.
Actually, I felt the same way about Tommy Boy, except I never saw it the first time. I'm not a big fan of Chris Farley, so I thought I wouldn't like Tommy Boy. But I saw it recently and actually enjoyed it. I must admit though, that I was about 3 sheets to the wind when it came on....that might have helped. ------------------ I always thought "With my talent, it's only a matter of time before I'm discovered". Now I think "With my talent, it's only a matter of time before I'm found out".
I actually laughed a couple of times at The Stupids (but I only watched it on HBO. It's not like I went to the theater or anything. My standards are lower for movies I watch on cable on lazy Sundays when there is little else to do). My absolute least favorite movie was Boxing Helena, though that one David Lynch movie with Baretta in it was pretty bad. If we're limiting it to movies I saw in the theater, then I would have to say Wing Commander (which I didn't want to see in the first place) and Mafia! (which was horridly boring and stupid - but not in the stupid funny ways that Airplane! was stupid). ------------------ [This message has been edited by mrpaige (edited June 16, 2001).]
Obviously you guys havn't seen "Boxing Helena" with out a doubt THE Worst movie in the history of cinema. ------------------
I liked the Hulk Hogan movies at the time because that was when I was all into wrestling when I was a kid. Next Friday was pretty bad, but that one chick was very sexy, she's like the only reason to watch that movie. As far as hating a movie at first, but liking it later. My vote goes for Fargo, the first time I watched it I almost went insane with all of the funny talk. Eh this and eh that really ruined it for me, I couldn't stand listening to that crap. I watched it like a month later and I was less irritated with it, and I actually liked it after the first viewing. Now I love that movie. A Perfect Storm was pretty horrible, I only rented it on video and I tried watching it twice and both times I fell asleep while watching it. I never actually saw the whole movie because I kept falling asleep. I tend to like "bad" movies so it's hard to think of anything I really hated other than some sequels. The Pest was pretty horrible. I remember sitting down to watch this movie on tv once, and there's this really lame shower scene where the dude sings this horrible rap. I quit watching that tragedy right then and there. ------------------ All right ramblers, let's get ramblin'...
I tend to think that anyone who thinks that "Fargo" is the worst film ever is a moron, but that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I would first ask you to see "Blow" and tell me it is not the lamest, most derivitive, most inept film that a major studio has put out in a long time. Did Ted Demme, the director, think that no one had seen "Goodfellas" (or the last 75 years of gangster film-making, for that matter)when he trotted this bucket of crap out into the theatres? I have seen insurance commercials with more depth and characterization than this film. This movie was actually worse than the films portrayed in "Ed Wood" that Johnny Depp also appeared in. Other horrendous movies: -"Babe" with John Goodman as B. Ruth. It B. awful. -"Great Balls of Fire" with Dennis Quaid as a Goofy-like Jerry Lee Lewis. I wanted to take my own life. -"Summer of Sam." Spike Lee has made some great films. This is not one of them. Ragu commericals have had a more subtle investigation of Italian-American life and the punk rock episodes of CHIP's and Quincy had more insight into that culture. Summer of ****. -"Nixon" Oliver Stone needs to be taken back to Vietnam and left there. When Stone trotted out the Indian from the Doors movie in one of Nixon's hallucinations I thought someone had spiked my $9.00 movie drink. Stone's pictures usually say more about himself than any of his subjects. More and more they say: "Oliver Stone sucks donkey balls." Or something like that. -Elvis! ------------------
"Next Friday" is pretty bad. Has there ever been more of a let down from the original? I don't like admitting I actually saw it. ------------------ the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.
I liked Next Friday better than the original. DeDe was funnier than Chris Tucker's character in Friday. ------------------ CC.NET Sim League Web Page My Team (Sonics) Feeling claustrophobic, like the walls are closing in.

I think Tomb Raider succeeded in recreating the video game for the big screen. I don't think it was pretending to do anything more than that. On the whole, I wish they hadn't gone so far with the "daddy" subplot...as noone really cares...and just stuck with the action. In the end, I got what I paid for...and I expected nothing more. ------------------ Gascon
OMG, OUTLAW YOU'VE JUST DONE IT!! THAT WAS THE WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN!! I went to see it with my g/f at the time, and there were 4 people in the theater . . . it was opening weekend. Anyhow, it lasted FOREVER. That movie wouldn't end. I've heard it's a great book, but I think they must have totally screwed up the story. It was just like all this random stuff that was mildly connected. And the movie just kept on going, and going, and going, and going. That was THE BIGGEST waste of money I've ever spent. Ironically, I remember the movie so vividly too. I just wanted it to end. The acting was bad, the story-line was bad, it was just painful to watch. ------------------ blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
I couldn't watch the movie either, but the book was great. The random stuff you see in the movie is the style of the book. Toni Morrison wrote Beloved like William Faulkner wrote The Sound and the Fury if you have ever read that book. ------------------ I am an invisible man.
Ditto. I thought it was fantastic, even though one of my more homophobic friends was cringing at the limp-wristedness. I've gotten him to the point now where he doesn't mind that every once in awhile I run up and hug him and say "I love you, Dan!!" Right. ------------------ "I don't want to join a club that accepts people like me as members."
I haven't seen Blow, but I heard it sucked. That's kinda disappointing because I think Depp is awesome and I had high hopes for this one. Who knows, I may rent it sometime. Perfect Storm was boring, hated it. ------------------ "norm, would you like to buy an indian scalp ? This deal isn't gonna make or break me Norm, so don't jerk me around."

If you hate the "eh" stuff, then you will love Strange Brew. Top notch plot (what's with that arcade game?), deep characters with a noble pursuit (aqcuiring beer), a flying dog that drinks booze, and Canadian slang out the yin yang. I personally love all the funny talk, so that movie really hit the spot for me. If you don't like it, then take off, hoser. P.S. - I still have seen no movie that I hated worse than The Pest, knob. ------------------ CC.NET Sim League Web Page My Team (Sonics) Feeling claustrophobic, like the walls are closing in.

OK, I've let a weekend go by, and, yes, I still believe that Tomb Raider is the worst movie I've ever seen. Of course, this weekend has The Fast and the Furious... ------------------ www.swirve.com "Pre-born, you're fine, pre-school, you're f*****."-George Carlin
Some of these responses amaze me just like "Best Movie" threads. Some I liked, some were ok and some were bad but not the worst. Anything with Chuck Norris get's my "less-than-honorable" mention. And who watches Walker Texas Ranger? My vote goes for "I Spit on Your Grave". B-rated movie that was utterly sick and demented in plot, acting and content. Much, Much worse than Texas Chainsaw II. ------------------
