Ping said on 12/7/2005 11:48 PM [PST]: Requiem for a Dream - Ridiculous, unrealistic BULLSHIT. Drugs are bad, kids. Bad, bad, bad. This movie was such a shitty propaganda film I questioned whether Nancy Reagan was the executive producer. And on a side note, if you're gonna make the insanely hot Jennifer Connelly play a whore, make it worth my while. Shit, even yawnfest House of Sand and Fog delivered more of her.
Buffalo '66 - Vincent Gallo is such a pretentious cunt. Every movie he makes is just a depressing downtrodden shitpile.
The Ring - I forgot this one in my earlier post. Did The Ring 2 make sense out of what was happening in the first one? Because that's the only reason there needed to be a sequel, to fill the holes in the writing logic. Oh a little girl gets pushed down a well, so of course her ghost winds up on a video tape? Was there an AV nerd at the bottom of the well?
Steel Magnolias - All I could think while sitting through this was "I hope this is the part where a nuclear missile strike happens and kills all these characters."
Big Fish - Great visuals but the story was awful. "I thought my dad was a liar, but it turns out he just greatly exaggerated everything that ever happened in his life to sound more interesting and make him seem like less of a selfish asshole. I'm so happy even though I have no idea who my father really is at all." What kind of moral is that?
2001 Space Odyssey - Yeah I'm sure all the art film douchebags will come out of the woodwork to bitch about this one, I don't care. This film sucks, like most of Kubrick's work. The most overrated director of all time. The original story from the book from what I know of it is quite interesting and had the potential to be a great movie and it was ruined by Kubricks inability to tell a story AT ALL. If you can make sense of it without reading the book or researching on the internet, congratulations, you're psychic. Also, Dr. Stranglove isn't funny, Clockwork Orange is boring once Alex goes to jail, A.I. was just a shitty version of Bladerunner, and Eyes Wide Shut was a waste of time.
Femme Fatale - Other than the unnecessary make-out scene with Rebecca Romijn and that hot model in the beginning this was just a sucky modern version of Body Double. De Palma is officially out of ideas.
House of 1000 corpses - Fuck off Rob Zombie. You're not a film maker. You're just a musician who used his notoriety to get his foot in the door to make a poorly shot rip-off of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Last House on the Left. Get down on your hands and knees and beg J and Sean to reform White Zombie or get out of our lives forever.
Rockstar - Just plain terrible in every way.
That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure there will be more. Edited by ManWithoutSkin on : 12/7/2005 7:19 PM
How can someone that shares my same taste in music and movies be so foolish? Is the cold getting to you? how can you hate Requiem for a Dream? Perhaps you should read the novel and see that it like the film has nothing to do with propaganda. Hell the director and the writer both remarked on how the story isn't really about drugs at all. Oh dear lord my head is still spinning. I'll let the remark about Buffalo '66 slide since most people don't understand Gallos films. I'm not surprised that you hate House of 1000 corpses. Of course it reminds you of Texas Chainsaw Masscare, and Deranged, thats the idea. This is a throwback to those films that Rob grew up on. Did you hate Devils Rejects too? Oh my.
Sorry, but I have back up MWS on some of those.
Requiem for a Dream was vomit-inducingly bad. I *hate* films that throttle me with their message. RfaD did that and then beat me in the head and pushed me down the stairs. Just....ugh.
House of 1000 Corpses was the result of someone who loves camp-horror and is smug about it. He would be the kind of person who would come into my video store and smirk at the selection and obnoxiously toss out lines and movie references as if I wouldn't get 'em. A movie can be an homage or use other cinema milestones without being silly or reductive.
Buffalo '66 was just on the good side of 'meh'. Liked it for a rental, but wouldn't buy it.
Hey I'm that guy you're talking about. I worked in the video store business for 4 years so I know what you're talking but sadly I was the smug bastard behind the counter. |

I was. I worked in an ass-y store and the pay was crud. It was fun to be able to watch/talk about movies as part of my job, but there wasn't enough pay to make up for having to wear khakis and a navy shirt everyday while taking copious verbal abuse for other peoples' late fees. Do you work at a chain or independent store? |

Well I spent the best year of my teens at a family owned video store that was just like Clerks, but then the big stores pushed us out of business so I worked at Suncoast for 3 long sad years. |

I saw that damn Fantastic Four movie on a plane. Retched pile of shit, that one. Also Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Good god, it's worse than the trailers make it out!
But Angelina Jolie is so hawt.

Yeah, I liked Vulgar as well... it's one of those rare films these days that actually shocks. There are A LOT of films listed here that I look upon highly! Can't believe an Aronofsky film got listed... blasphemy!!!! |
