Ronald Fisher: Beer and pussy. That's all I need.
Sean Smith: We gotta find ourselves a Smurfette.
Ronald Fisher: Smurfette?
Sean Smith: Yeah, not some tight-ass Middlesex chick, right? Like this cute little blonde that will get down and dirty with the guys. Like Smurfette does.
Donnie: Smurfette doesn't fuck.
Sean Smith: That's bullshit. Smurfette fucks all the other Smurfs. Why do you think Papa Smurf made her? Because all the other Smurfs were getting too horny.
Ronald Fisher: No, no, no, not Vanity. I heard he was a homosexual.
Sean Smith: Okay, then, you know what? She fucks them and Vanity watches. Okay?
Ronald Fisher: What about Papa Smurf? I mean, he must get in on all the action.
Sean Smith: Yeah, what he does, he films the gang-bang, and he beats off to the tape.
Donnie: [shouts] First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have... reproductive organs under those little, white pants. It's just so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. You know, what's the point of living... if you don't have a dick?
Ronald Fisher: [pause] Dammit, Donnie. Why you gotta get all smart on us?



Good stuff!

pfft

V for Vendetta
The Bourne Supremacy

The English Patient
Shakespeare In Love
Dances With Wolves - I saw it at the time and liked it, but I find it tedious to watch now; besides, Goodfellas was seriously robbed of the Best Picture Oscar.
Yentl
Howard's End - This was one of the most critically acclaimed movies in the early 1990's, and all of the critics loved it, but I saw it and nearly fell asleep. The only reason I didn't sleep through that movie was because before I dozed off, I heard someone behind me loudly snoring.

I like it, but I'd like to see the movies you're describing that predate it...What do you recommend?

Gosford Park. Stunk like rancid ass.

thekidsgirl said:

false realities: Jacob's Ladder, Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway

scfi rifts in time: there were a few Star Trek Next Generation episodes that dealt with that really well.

The parody of high achool: Heathers

I know I'm forgetting about some film where a costume like the rabbit was used to similar effect.

ufoclub said:

I like Donnie Darko, and would much rather watch it than Mulholland Drive....now THAT was an overrated piece of tripe....

sextonseven said:

I didn't like either of those!

I can't stand Star Wars and see no value in it!

Glitter.





(Am I doing this right?)

ufoclub said:

thanks! Im gonna try to see all these!

2the9s said:

Um, no. The thread is about critically acclaimed movies that suck donkey balls. I believe that movie was universally considered to be a stinking pile of poo, even by most of Mariah Carey's most rabid and passionate fans. Then again, it would probably be more entertaining to watch this Thanksgiving then the Detroit Lions game.

sextonseven said:

Definitely.

sextonseven said:

Most definitley. I was rolling my eyes during every scene.

I like your list minus 'The English Patient' and 'Howard's End.'
The English Patient was such boring crap after all the buildup and the Oscar . . .

Moonbeam said:

You are either
1) not a man
2) not American
3) both
4) some undiagnosed illness

See no value in STAR WARS?!!

You have seen it more than once right?

violator said:

That was a good one. I bought it.

thekidsgirl said:

Jacob's Ladder ( denser version of Sixth Sense)
Heathers (the anti-John Hughes film)
I forget which Star Trek had Malcolm MacDowell in it but that had the time rift thing.
There's also the boring one about finding God . . .

dreamgirls
men in black

kimrachell said:

Me too, I HATED Men In Black, that movie was just awful.

SCNDLS said:

The weird thing is I didn't mind her on that sitcom Mad About You But if she floats that mug anywhere else, I'm automatically irritated

ufoclub said:

Lost Highway is my shit Not as much as Wild @ Heart, but I liked it a LOT

'2001: A Space Odyssey'. Dull, boring, pretentious and shit. and I like sci-fi generally. but not this one. Maybe i don't like Kubrick as a director cause 'A Clockwork Orange' makes me feel the same way. boring, overrated crap.

SUPRMAN said:

I am an American man! Perhaps I have an undiagnosed illness?

SUPRMAN said:

Exactly! It was just two hours of gratuitous beatings. And they gave a Best Picture Oscar to that mess.

Do the right thing. Sorry it went on way to long for me, like the ending though.

kimrachell said:

Don't know if Men in Black is an critically acclaimed movie or not but I do agree. Everyone keep saying how funny it was. I didn't think it was all that funny. For me it was a sci-fi flick with some humuor in it.

Goodfellas .... What a violent piece of crap! Joe Pesche's character was well done, but I just didn't like the overall tone of the movie, nor how it dragged on despite all the violence.


Dances with Wolves.... To be honest though, I despise Kevin Costner, so I can't say that I gave the movie a fare chance.
