Movies you want to erase from your brain

[T'Baio]

Commando

What the fuck is wrong with you? Why do you hate joy? Do you have a problem with America? Do you go yellow bellied and spineless in the face of greatness? Do you not enjoy sex? Is the glory that all nature has to provide you not enough to sustain you? Do you laugh at the sight of dead puppies?

Commando > God

The Happening

Who'd have thought that all of the characters who committed suicide would be the lucky ones in that crapfest?

 

[Owain Taggart]

House of Sand and Fog
Revolutionary Road

Silence of the Lambs and it's sequel.

Not that they're bad movies, they're not, it's just ... (closes eyes . shakes uncontrollably)

Geez, just have some fava beans and chianti lace.

Yeah, it didn't help that the two leads were so annoying that you actually WANTED them to kill themselves....just because.

Comedies that just fall flat at EVERY LEVEL. The jokes aren't funny, the director has no control over the actors who are all doing their own thing, there's no real story, a lot of the jokes are cheap, the pacing is off, the tone is all over the map, and you can actually feel how mind numbing the whole thing is just by watching.

I think Teen Wolf Too was the first "comedy" that was so bad I started feeling ill watching it. I guess the modern equivalents would be the unrelated American Pie sequels, the Date Movie/Epic Movie that think they're parodies but are just referencing other movies as the joke, and the bottom of the barrel that is White Chicks, Taxi, etc.

White Chicks, Nacho Libre, Click

Three terrible "comedies" I saw at a local drive in with my ex back in the day. Thank God she didn't make me stay to watch New York Minute too.

The Human Centipede is a movie I have already forgotten. Terribly boring film for something that is supposed to be gross and edgy.

Star Trek XI

Big Daddy

Shadey

To quote a line: You let her eat coal! ...AGAIN!

I mean, who lets a hemophiliac child play in an abandoned iron smelting facility?

What's weird is that I'm trying to post a movie that I want erased from my brain, but I can only think of movies I've liked and enjoyed...

 

[SlyCardie]

All of the Leprechaun movies, really. They are certainly entertaining, but I think there's more important stuff that needs to be in my brain.

The Warriors! The most god-awful movie I've ever forced myself to sit through! (In a theater yet! It was the second of a triple bill, followed by the first Terminator.) If I ever meet that little prick caterwauling "Warriors! Come out and plaaayyyyyay!" in a dark alley I may just castrate him!

The Hill's Have Eyes. Went to see it not knowing much about it except that it was getting good reviews as a decent horror film. Turned out to be two hours of disgusting torture porn. With the group I was with, and where we were sitting, I didn't feel comfortable getting up and leaving. In retrospect, I wish I had. Would happily unwatch that. (The same goes for The Devil's Rejects, actually, though I happily only saw half of that.)

Am I the only one that derives pleasure from watching shitty movies? It's better than a comedy 'cause you're laughing at them not with them.

 

[Owain Taggart]

I think it depends on what the movie's going for. Sure, some you'd be able to simply laugh at, but then there are the ones that are very depressing and just make you pissed off that you spent time watching them.

This is why I used to love watching Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. She could take the piss out of gawdawful horror movies like no one else. The trouble is that some bad movies, like the one I mentioned above, have nothing to laugh at. They're just plain awful and provide no unintentional entertainment.

For me it's definitely Gone With The Wind. I'd been hearing about it for the first twenty years of my life and decided as a movie buff, it was my obligation to see it. I'm not saying it was a bad movie, in fact bad movies are quickly forgotten. It was just a long and boring chore making it through to the end. I'm sure it was ground breaking at the time, but by the time I saw it soap operas were nothing new. It's not so much that I wish I could erase the movie itself from my brain, aside from some kid falling off of a horse, not a lot stuck up there. I just wish I could forget all those many, many minutes I spent watching the counter on my VCR and wondering, when the hell is this thing going to end.
