Originally posted by Ran-chanOriginally posted by [GGS It's called ACTING. Not every movie has to conform to amuse you, but can stand alone on its artistic merits. Ever watch Alfred Hitchcock? As for Uwe Boell bashers...perhaps you should actually sit down with his filmography. Prior to his bastardizations of video games (which, even then, aren't that bad of movies. They're called "B" movies for a reason!) he made some very, very good movies. |

Originally posted by Ran-chanOriginally posted by [GGS Cruel Justice You two are kidding, right? The movies where Jim Carrey actually ACTS (Truman Show, Man on the Moon, Eternal Sunshine) are far far FAR better than when he's just being the same rubber-faced fartsmith he is in all the other movies. You can only watch him pull stupid faces and act wacky so many times before it gets old. Since the fuck when does "depressing" mean "bad"? Was Schindler's List bad? [Insert what Ziff said about movies not having to be amusing here, but add some richly deserved swearing and condescension.] And by "depressing" you mean "it actually makes you think and hurts my widdle head" right? The movie was clever and it was prescient to boot... it probably wasn't specifically targetted at reality television but at the media in general, but given the way reality television has experienced cancer-like growth since it came out, it's aged quite well as a commentary on that. Actually, come to think of it, how the hell was it "depressing" at all? Wow. Just... no. He escapes, the moment when he leaves is a bloody beautiful and even inspiring scene, the movie full of faith in the human ability to reason and find truth. All that crap. He escapes his cage and goes out to face the big scary world the rest of us have to deal with, and probably ened up finding his girl. It'd have been a depressing commentary on human self-deception if he decided to stay and live a coddled lie, but as it was, it's downright positive really. It is not a depressing film. If you went in there expecting something like the Mask or Dumb and Dumber, well that's your own bloody fault, not his. (edited by Arwon on 01-30-06 03:45 AM) |

| I'll second you there Arwon. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was one of the best movies I've ever seen... ever.
Amoung the worst? "Boogeymen"... and "Envy". Oh. My. God. Envy was the most terrible waste of film ever. Me and like 20 of my friends were all sitting in the movie theater.. and every single one of us had the same blank exp I don't even think I have to explain the horror and terribleness that was "Boogeymen". The title simply speaks for itself. I actually enjoyed House of Wax... alot. It managed to creep me out. The Grudge was terrible though. The whole time me and my friends were just ripping on it. The Exorcism of Emily Rose was pretty bad to. The lawyer in that movie doesn't stop drinking martini's.. ever. I found that funny. And the exorcism scenes were done terribly. But Envy is still the worst movie ever ever made. |

| Eternal Sunshine... I started watching that movie, and then was brutally interrupted and told to turn it off. I never got to see the rest.
That sucked, I was really enjoying it. 
I'll have to rent it sometime, I forgot about it. That was a long time ago that I saw the first half. |

| Movies should be entertaining. That's the point. Yes, there's a certain artistic element to them, but I've always looked at art as a personal thing, something created for the creator, as a way of exp That said, I don't think a movie must be funny or amusing to be entertaining. I'm using a very broad definition of entertaining. I look at it as just something that's enjoyable and holds your attention. And people must enjoy experiencing different emotions, or they wouldn't watch movies that bring them on. Even if those emotions are considered "bad" emotions when experienced involving real things. Emotions such as fear, sadness, or anger. But I don't like movies that are just "sad". Anybody can make a sad movie. Show innocent people getting killed. Show two people build a relationship, then kill one off. It's easy. A truly good movie uses sadness as a tool. Take Schindler's List. It's very sad in the beginning. When the old one armed machinist is saved when he get a job in Schindler's factory, only to be shot in the street. Or when the girl in the red coat is wondering around the ghetto, and later is shown in a pile of bodies. But this sadness and inhumanity is there create contrast to the humanity that Schindler finds in himself. The "happy ending" is that much more fulfilling because shows that good can exist despite evil. To me, that's good movie making. It's similar with The Shawshank Redemption. Andy Dufresne is beat, raped, and kept in solitairy confinement for months at a time. But these things are there to show how hope can overcome even some of the worst things imaginable. But back on topic: Bad movies. First of all, I have to agree with [GSS] about horror films with "creepy kids". Every other horror movie has one of these kids with blank stares, who talk real slow and quiet, and always know things they shouldn't. I bet that was scary as hell in the first movie to use that. The other four hundred though, not so much. I can't see counting out and entire genre for good movies. I mean sure most every video game adaption have been bad, but that doesn't mean they have to be. I think its that the movie makers feel the demographic they're aiming for wouldn't appeciate any real depth. I think they're wrong. And sequals get a bad rap. I mean historically they've been a studio's way of cashing in on the success of a good film, without having to put the same effort into it. But once again, they don't have to be. The Matrix sequals, Godfather II, the Star Wars Sequels (not prequels), the second and third movies in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, are all counter-examples. What annoys me is watching a movie that the filmmakers clearly didn't put much effort into. Which brings me to one of the worst movies I have seen in years (and I've watched nearly every episode of MST3K): Fantastic 4. Wow. It was so bad, it was just amazing to watch. I don't know if it was editing or script rewrites or what, but there were entire scenes that didn't make any sense. But they were in there anyway. They just didn't care. It reminded me of that part in Space Mutiny when a character was killed off and they show her at her desk working in the very next scene. For instance: Three of the four are standing on a bridge, there are a bunch cops in front of them that they want to sneak by. So one of them says to the woman who can go invisible, "hey, go invisible and strip down, so you can get past them and see what's going on". So she does, and when she gets over there, she says to the other guys "I cant believe you made me do that". What? How'd they get over there? And the heroes did absolutely nothing heroic the entire movie, the closest they came was save some people on a bridge, from a multicar pile up that one of them caused. The rest of the time they set around in a penthouse fighting with each other and whining about the amazing powers they had been "cursed" with. The only reason they actually fought the villian of the movie was because he was posing a threat to them personally. Then there was the love life of "The Thing". That was actually quite funny. I laughed out loud when his fiance came out of nowhere on the bridge (was she involved in the pile up?) and set the ring on the ground, then his fingers are too big to pick it up (maybe that was supposed to be symbolic in some way). After that he spend most of the rest of movie all weepy because he lost his shallow, unsupportive girlfriend. But it all works out ok, since he eventually finds a nice blind girl. Because, as we all know, only the blind can love the ugly. Originally posted by [GSS] Cruel Justice Gary? |

Knowing that he was trapped in a tiny world all that time made me wanna hurt myself. It didn't confuse me at all, just made me sad. I read the cover and had a clue what the movie was about just then. (edited by [GGS] Cruel Justice on 01-31-06 03:43 PM) |

| It's called debating GGS. Some of us like to actually engage people's opinions and argue about this sorta stuff. If you don't wanna be argued with, don't post.
I still don't get how you could consider it a sad or depressing movie, and I don't get how you equate "sad and depressing" to "really crappy". Justify your views! Have at you! (edited by Arwon on 01-31-06 07:42 PM) |

| Movies that really bored me...
-Contact - Always good to watch if you cannot go to sleep -Powder - Although the story was pretty good, that also had me sleeping -Bicentennial Man - The more it dragged on, the more I didn't care I also hate those B-movie horror flicks that pop up in the video rentals like the herpes virus. You can tell by the poorly advertised cover and the contents in the back that it's utter crap. "Despiser" has to be the most ridiculous title for a horror movie. It's like the media is fresh out of ideas so they must suck the life out of good classics to make a regurge movie to avoid stupid ones like this turd. |

| Bicenttennial Man needed to be about half as long, and turn into I Robot at the end, with Robin Williams leading a badass army of Cyborgs.

HG Wells would be spinning in his grave. Van Wilder-Is it just me or does Ryan Reynolds have the same role in EVERY MOVIE. And the Matrix had the makings of a bad anime. (edited by Jin Dogan on 02-01-06 04:55 PM) (edited by Jin Dogan on 02-01-06 04:56 PM) |

| Perhaps thrice, if it were? The Hulk sucked, sucks, will suck, has sucked, had sucked, and will have sucked. There, used all six tenses.
I forgot to mention earlier, anything with the words "Sci-fi Original Picture" in front of it. Did anyone else see that mutant shark/person movie they made? What the hell was that called, I forgot, but it was as dumb as the plot was. And there was that giant komodo dragon movie they made, which included only two komodo animations (running and biting) on several badly placed backgrounds. There was an attractive girl in it, though. Big, erm... eyes. =P |
