Me too

really, most "right wing vs. left wing" documentaries tend to disappoint me and insult my intelligence. regardless of which direction the agenda leans, they always use the same tactics and heavyhanded propagandist tricks to spoonfeed their opinions right down my throat, and i hate that. i like films that leave things WIDE OPEN for me to make my own conclusions. to be honest, this is why i've been hesitating about watching "an inconvenient truth", though i've been told it's a cut above the rest.

oh, and i hate movies that take elegant old actresses and make them talk like sailors or act all street for a cheap laugh. it was funny when june cleaver did it in "airplane!", but it really should have stopped there. okay - granny just dropped an f-bomb. we get it. ha ha.

its a fact irregardless

ice caps be melting at an alarming rate

what took hundreds of years now takes decades

its a bi partison reality that we must all come to grips with

im not going to shoot the messanger

i am just glad we are recieving the

message

"name a movie that insulted the living shit out of your intelligence"

LOL at that thread title!..it's been a good day for thread titles, what with this and the "sea-salting ur cock" one

I'd have to say "Wicker Man" - I left the cinema half way thru, which i've never done before. It is utter, utter, utter, utter, utter, utter, utter, utter, utter, utter, SHITE

same thing is happening across the solar system



yeah the Right is living in reality and the left is off their rockers




even when much of the message is a lie... (the LIE is that humans had anything to do with it.

LittleSmedley said:

Maybe it's your use of "utter" but you just reminded me of Vanilla Sky. I also walked out of Cat in the Hat and should've for Be Cool. Actually, I ended up seeing that Russell Crowe sailor movie after I walked out of Cat. Alien vs. Predator was complete shite, too. Although, I did perversely enjoy the predator/human buddy cop thing at the end.

Man, I've seen some shit.

i am not suprised, you belived gore when he told you sans any evidence what so ever...

Batman and Robin. Way to kill the franchise for 10 years! Oh, and Batgirl is Alfred's niece??? WTF???

Catwoman. I still refuse to see any of this piece of crap movie.

This has come up before, but:

Back to the Future III--Marty's ancestor Shamus McFly ws played by Michael J Fox, which is okay, but Shamus' wife was played by Lea Thompson, who played Marty's mother.

So did Marty's dad & Marty's mom both descend from the Shamus McFlys?

And every time they said something like "I feel as if it could affect...my future! [spooky music plays] I wanted to tear my eyes out.

Pretty much any american movie

Carrie Carrie, NOT during the revolution... just during the 18th century

whoops.

yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about half the time.

Hint: French aristocracy (= fancy costumes) + French Revolution = Heads rolling

So, if no aristocrat heads are rolling it's not set during the revolution

The newest David Lynch movies do, since he thinks he can fool us into believing that there's a hidden meaning and that every element of the story makes sense even though a lot of it are just random bizarre fantasies just like they were in for example Eraserhead. "Weird but fascinating" was good enough back then, so I don't know why he's trying to put a new label on that same stuff these days. Maybe he's getting old and pretentious.

How High

Inland Empire was a big 'ol pile of shit. My friend and I couldn't even make it through the whole thing.

live4lust said:

the david lynch movies i hate most upon the first viewings are the ones i like most down the road. i HATED mulholland dr. the first time i saw it. now i love it. of course, i felt like inland empire was a religious experience after the first time i saw it, so the second time i see it, i'll probably be like

Anx said:

I was just glad we ran into Lynch before we had seen his latest. I just told him how much I loved Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks and I didn't have to lie about liking Inland Empire.

live4lust said:

even his most ridiculously obtuse work doesn't INSULT my intelligence, though. it just fucks with my intelligence. i don't think his intentions are at all disingenuous - at worst it might be a case of overindulgence, but still it's coming from a brilliant mind and i'll take "lost highway" over "attack of the clones" any day.

Anx said:

I agree with that, although I'm still trying to wrap my head around Lost Highway. I picked it up recently on dvd and I just can't get into it.

As for Inland Empire, I thought it was incredibly self-indulgent, meandering and a really ugly film--visually--to boot. I don't know if I could ever give it another try because of how much I despised it.

live4lust said:

really? i thought inland empire was at the same time horrific and transcendent. the whole thing was like one big "black lodge" sequence to me, and i freakin LIVE for that stuff from lynch. i also feel like you could pause that movie at any moment and have a frame that would be absolutely perfect to frame and hang on your wall as a piece of art. every single moment of that film was visually stunning to me.

Anx said:

if i saw a frame of that film on a wall, i would burn the building down to the ground. it was actually the worst-looking film i've ever seen in my life. that's really not an exaggeration. we were laughing about how bad it was afterwards. one man's junk is another man's art, i guess.

live4lust said:

our eyes were manufactured on completely different planets, in completely separate dimensions, from totally incongruous alternate realities. there is absolutely no way i can relate to your opinion, but god bless ya for having one.

De Niro really isnt suited to comedy and I think they were his worst choices in film ever..

susannah said:

Ben Stiller? He's one of my comedy heroes. I don't have enough of these to use for that response, really. That was easily one of my favorite comedies of the last ten years.
