Movies you want to erase from your brain

[scotpens]

^EnsignRicky: I'm at a loss for words. I suppose some people are just born contrarians. They have to zig where everyone else zags.

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.

Depends on what kind of shitty we're talking about. There's Xanadu shitty (so bad it's good), and there's The Pickle shitty (just plain bad).

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

Ok, just calm down. Take a deep breathe. Everything will be okay. Commando will still be there for you. Just relax. RELAX!

My list:
Battlefield Earth
Batman and Robin
Boogie Nights
Freddy Got Fingered
Lost in Space

AI - Spielberg deserves 100 lashes for every fake ending in that piece of shit.

 

[Deckerd]

Most of the movies here are more a matter of personal taste than offending humanity. For my particular offering I would say Seven because it was irredeemably nasty on a human level. As to the OP I would say if someone says "don't google 2 girls, one cup" then don't. Some things are just created for maximum gross-out and the centipede film is one of them, so it's actually quite pure in its aims. Unlike Seven, which was billed as a thriller but was infinitely more disgusting than any shlock movie.

You know, I've never seen that. But some of my friends who have have warned me away. I take it you agree with them?

I do. The most self-indulgent pile of tripe that Spielberg has even hurled at the screen, and that's saying something.

Count yourself lucky that the review I linked doesn't describe the 27 fake endings (or the real one) in detail.

"A.I." is a huge waste of time. I can't believe I forgot about that film. Well, I am thankful I forgot about it ... until now.

This would have been better served with a re-written scripted, edited down to 20 minutes, and made an episode of a series like the passed "Amazing Stories".

Sound of Music

Gotta agree with you on that one, although for me, it's not so much the movie per se as the source material. I wouldn't want to suffer through a stage production of that bucket of treacle either. It's the only Rodgers & Hammerstein musical I really can't stand.

 

[T'Baio]

Wow, four posts almost in a row about how bad A.I. is.

Finally, people are coming around.

 

[tharpdevenport]

Not me -- I left the theater pissed.

Though technically the movie is half the fault of the late Stanley Kubrick. But also ... Speilberg hasn't made anything worth a shit since 1993 (though "Munich" and "Saving Private Ryan" were okay).

 

[T'Baio]

I think Munich is the only decent thing he's made in a looooong time.

I thought War Of The Worlds was going to be a return to form, but then the last half of the movie happened.

Did you really think so?

It's nasty, sure. But personally, I find it cathartic, like a classical tragedy.

Haha, yeah, I agree with you. I wanted to like War of the Worlds, but I despised it. His treatment of the story left wanting. There's a version of War of the Worlds that was released around the same time, that even though is quite cheap looking, is a lot more accurate in terms of a movie adaptation of the book. Follows the book quite closely. I like it much better for that reason alone.

 

[Joeman]

I kind of liked AI, although it did have its faults.


No second on my Caligula vote? Has anyone here even seen it? I assumed that plenty of people would jump on board with that one. A lot of movies mentioned here are indeed bad, but that movie was nothing short of an atrocity, and many are Oscar worthy compared to it.

 

[tharpdevenport]

I forgot about "The Lady In the Water".

Utter tripe. No magical feel, lousey plot, poor writing, involving film and to top it off it's disgusts me with it's messege on men being evil.

There's nothing redeeming about this garbage, except James Newton Howard's score.

Shyamalam doesn't "get" it in this case.

I know what you mean. It's the only time I ever actually rooted for the Nazis to show up.

The Happening

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

Yeah, I wish Kubrick had lived to finish it instead.
I'm pretty sure his vision of how it should have ended would have been very different and way more satisfing.


As far as films to be erased:

Any and every sequel to "The Crow".
