BB, I take great umbrage with your slighting of Pink Flamingos. I don't own many movies period but I do have the 25th anny DVD of that movie. I loved it. I saw it when I was 17 and I use it now as a litmus test for any woman I am serious about dating. If she can get through it without running from the room or not look at me like I'm some deviant after the credits roll, then she's a keeper. Of course, there are some scenes in the movie I could have done without but the butler inseminating the women in the basement and the sex scene with the woman being pecked by chickens makes me laugh even while typing about it.

There are other films FAR worse that I would not recommend, like:
Highlander II and III (the first one was epic and had some of the crappiest sequels to ever follow a great film)

The remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Man.. that was the nastiest thing in the world. The fat chick in the playpen waiting for the eggman and Divine eating the dig shit at the end made my sick.

Oh though- yeah- I did laugh when he was fucking the girl with the chicken.

Pacific Heights

Terrible horror flick with Michael Keaton. I was seriously pissed after watching this claptrap several years ago.

"Far And Away."

After watching Tom Cruise attempt an Irish accent for two hours, I honestly felt the urge to apologize to the first mick I ran into.

True- movie was horrible.. but Kidman looked fucking fantastic in that movie!

Ah, Edith Massey (may she rest in piece) was Divine's mom in the playpen and she ended up marrying the Eggman at the close of the film.

That was the first (and the best) John Waters film I saw and I've been a fan ever since. The birthday party scene with the Dancing Asshole and the party guests killing and eating the police who came to break up the event was one of the funniest, most disgusting things I've seen in a movie.

The deleted scenes were excellent too.

When that movie came out, I was in the process of reconciling with my long-term OL, after we had recently split. There was even talk of marriage.

After much of this talk, which all went very well, she dragged me to see Far And Away.

She enjoyed it.

I instantly changed my mind about the reconciliation.

That was that.

Far And Away was so bad, it forever changed my life and future. No way was I going to sign on for "till death do us part" with a chick who would sentence me to a lifetime of watching crap like that.

RACK Far And Away.

M-Dub, not a fan of all the independent contractors getting blown up on the second Death Star?

If one of your complaints is the acting, I might have to agree. Very rushed delivery on most of the dialogue. But I still think the material is fresh.

Eye of the Beholder. Even a nude Ashley Judd couldn't save what just might be one of the worst movies of the 90's.

The list of movies to avoid is long and distinguished. Just like my johnson.

They showed Dr Dolittle 3 on my flight back from the east coast Saturday. I watched for about 10 seconds and turned on the jazz station. I swear, Continental must buy up all the movies that sell less than 10 copies to the public.

I had Stallone's comedic classic "Stop! or my Mom will shoot" on a flight to Barcelona once. luckily this was in the "free booze" days of international flights...

The advent of internet porn has made it so some of us don't need to watch movies to "get off." I think I stopped watching films for boob shots around the age of 16 or so. And if I want softcore lesbian porn I've got unlimited access to it.

That scene, though nice, did nothing to bump up the rating of the movie.

But for what it's worth, I did wait until that scene was over before I pulled the plug on that flick.

1. Rhinestone IS funny (rusty zipper and yellow boots).

2. Gangs of New York. Wow, that was just really bad.

3. Bram Stoker's Dracula *shiver*

4. Natural Born Killers-Overrated

"Fantastic Four"

Rented it last night, since I like the X-Men flicks.

My God, but it was awful. Boring, boring, boring. Jessica Alba is not a good enough actress to play a scientist (or hell, anyone with a graduate degree), and when her "assets" are hidden by her wearing a big blue suit or being invisible, what's the damned point? The fight at the end was incredibly dull.

Just a bad, bad flick all around.

the last half hour of that was truly bad. Scorcese was falling in love with himself in all kinds of misguided overly "arty/symbolic" ways.

Daniel Day Lewis was pretty good. Leo the Goat doing accents is hard for me to take, a la the Aviator as well. the latter also featured the fingernails on the chalkboard performance of Kate Blanchett's Hepburn. ouch.

Without his character, I agree the movie would've been bad...real bad.

But he was one bad mofo in that flick.

You guys see that. What I see is a guy with a (really) bad hair cut who talks a bunch (kinda' annoyingly...in the same style of the villain in Shane) and doesn't kill the protagonist when he had the chance. This wasn't a James Bond type chance where the guy leaves him suspended over a shark tank to face his demise alone (with an adieu of 'we'd like to stay, but we have a city to destroy' or something). HE LEFT HIM LYING THERE, VERY MUCH ALIVE AND MERELY MARKED!!! That made no sense to me (as also his vest didn't). Just my three cents. The walk made by Qui Gon (the priest) in the beginning (to drums) was also quite vexing. Very long and pointless. The ending, too, was abyssmal.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Tue Aug 29, 2006 12:32 am

I've seen your "writing" before.

Which means I'm really not interested in your creative input on anything.

His character in that movie was worse than Darth Maul. All style, no substance.

Yeah, "Kill Bill" was pretty awful. Those are four hours I'll never get back.

Speaking of terrible films on international flights, I once was subjected to "Peggy Sue Got Married" on a Lufthansa flight to Germany when I was 15. Ugh, what a piece of shit that was.

Screw_Michigan · Post by **Screw_Michigan** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 5:33 am

the makers of the davinci code should be arrested and pillaged for the amount of money they made on that piece of shit. easily the most overrated film i've ever seen.

King Crimson · Post by **King Crimson** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 7:25 pm

i thought Pan's Labyrinth was pretty overrated. it was a decent flick, i just didn't see what the big deal was.

PSUFAN · Post by **PSUFAN** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 2:09 pm

Back to the Gangs of NY...yep that was really overblown. The 5 Points era is indeed a compelling topic to explore, but Scorsese massively overindulged himself, and it's a real shame. Hopefully someone revisits the theme and does a little more storytelling.
