Since we were speaking about movies, I assumed that you were implying that it was just people in Utah that had a problem with Crank. Maybe it's the water in San Diego though that's making everyone reeruned down there. Did your friends like Crank? Do they live in San Diego? (Assuming that SD in your tag means San Diego. I guess it could mean something else though.)

But if you mean by not choosing to live in Utah, you don't like to have some of the best skiing in the world 30 minutes from your door, miles of the best fishing in the world, gorgeous mountains, etc., a low crime rate, a great music scene, lots of really attractive women, a world class LeMans race track 30 minutes from anywhere, a perennial playoff professional sports team, two very good, competitive college teams in numerous sports, and that doesn't make you stupid, then color me stupid.

What the **** was wrong with PCU? Did you expect it to be Schindlers List?

Me and the wife are always watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. In fact, she puts on "Manos: Hands of Fate" to fall asleep too every night.

As for bad movies, I couldn't believe how bad "Alien vs Predator: Requiem" was. That's probably the only movie I've walked out on. Makes me sad how bad the "Alien" franchise has fallen....

One movie I was really dissapointed with after hearing so much hype about it was "Knocked Up". I kept hearing it's "better than 40 Year Old Virgin" and I absolutely loved that movie. Boy, was I dissapointed.....

Some others I've seen in stores that made me go "WTF" was "Cinderella 2", "Lady and the Tramp 2"....basically, the beloved Disney movies from yonder that got sequels for...god knows whatever reason.... I imagine those aren't too grand....

You like his movies. I don't. Personal preference. There is a reason that "Crank That" from SouljaBoy was the #1 song on the charts a couple of summers ago as well. I guess he just gave "those people" what they wanted to hear. I guess that there are some people that think that Radiohead is a bad band, just like some people like Kevin Smith movies.

ROFL no shit man.....How many Aladdin movies or Lion King movies are there now. Aladdin 5: Jafar Goes and Takes a Shit OR Lion King 6:The Ressurrection of MuFassa

Oh shit, one I completely overlooked....

Delta Farce with Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall and DJ Qualls. Oh sweet Jesus, that was horrible. When I was doing my tour in Korea, me and a buddy in my workcenter would have a field day talking about how "great" this movie was to newcomers. We had every new guy to our squadron watch it after we hyped it up to epic proportions. Nearly every answer we got back was they couldn't sit through 10 minutes of it and shut it off. We said they had bad taste in movies and continued hyping it up until they caught on to what we were doing. Ah...good times....

...basically, I guess you could say ANY Larry the Cable Guy movie fits the bill in this topic.

No, but given the cast one would have thought that it could have been more than the bastard love child of Revenge of the Nerds 2 and Road Trip.

It just showcases a very unrefined Jeremy Piven doing his smart ass, psuedo-intellectual over-the-top schtick. He's gotten better as time has progressed, but he's downright awful in PCU. Everyone is. Jon Favreau is absolutely embarrassing in it.

[QUOTE=CoMoChief;6108412]If any of you have a daughter(s), I'm sure you've been forced to watch a Barbie animated movie. Sweet baby jesus...

You forgot the rednecks and incest and polygamy with children. Yeah sounds like a helluva place to be. In San Diego, we have all that within a 2 hour drive. And much, much more. Except the whole competitive college sports because, well, we have PRO teams. So you can have your little college teams. But come to think of it. We do have USC and UCLA. But im sure the UTES make them quiver in their boots.

You keep using Crank as the example. When did I ever say it was a great movie. It was entertaining. It did exactly what it was made to be. A sh*tload of action. Is it going to win an Oscar, no. Was it worth the price of admission. YES.

This. Epically bad.

[QUOTE=Saccopoo;6108432]This.

Brooklyn Rules
Shooter

Can't remember more but I sure did see some really awful ones.

Shooter is a good movie.

dune was a good movie

http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/ent...-women?slide=2

I can't say shes hot or not. But though it was funny.

You liked these two movies? Really? They were epic bad, as in I would rather be water boarded than sit through them again.

all that tells me is that makes alot of money because fat chicks relate to her and go see her movies...

and she's a TERRIBLE actress to boot...

No arguments here. I just don't think shes that bad.

I know I am going to get killed over this but any Star Wars movie is horrible. I'd rather watch J. Russell throw darts at Gonzo's bare chest than watching Star Wars.

That's Texas and Arizona. I haven't met many, if any, Rednecks out here in Utah, even when you get into the sticks. And there are a lot more polygamist camps in places like Idaho, Arizona, Texas and the like.

Nice try. But USC and UCLA ain't from San Diego. SDSU is though. They're pretty good, right? And when I think about it, it seems to me that UCLA has gotten the absolute shit kicked out of it the last couple times it played the Utah college teams. As a San Diegoian making a claim for LA college teams to be his, I'd think you'd be more aware of the recent history between them.

Anyway, I like San Diego. It's a nice town. The zoo is overrated though.

I know opinions shouldn't be wrong, but yours is. Empire strikes back is a masterpiece

Starship Troopers - Let's put together a crappy jumpy story line from one of the greatest sci-fi novels ever written. Then let's get bad actors. Make them hot actors/actresses and get a lot of blood and explosions to take the audiences mind off the fact that we just stole 7 bucks from each of them and call it a movie.

Last scene - Have camera fall back off the giant monster tied down and surrounded by hundreds of armed troops. Pan left to Doogie Howser who is setting up a mental link with the monster by touching it. Have Doogie say "It's afraid!" followed by soldiers cheers.

It's afraid? Really? Pure genius.

Statham, good?

You must have missed "In the Name of the King", "Transporter 3", "Chaos", etc etc

Kirshner should have directed much much more for Lucas. We wouldn't have Ewoks and Jar Jar with Kirshner. At least they wouldn't live at the end of the films.

UTAH has no night life and had john stockton
fail

i pretend those movies don't exist. I am casual star wars fan with some knowledge of it. Like I know twin Ion engine and shit like that, but not in love with it. Darth Vader is my favorite bad guy all time. I make too many dumbass threads, someone make a "favorite bad guy poll!"

From the New World encyclopedia of what the appropriate punishment is for people who say they don't like The Empire Strikes Back (at least in England):

To be drawn and quartered was the penalty ordained in England for the crime of treason for not appreciating Episode V of the original Star Wars trilogy. It is considered by many to be the epitome of cruel punishment, and was reserved for the crime of treason against haters of Star Wars as this was deemed more heinous than murder and other capital offenses. The grisly punishment included the drawing of the convicted to the gallows, often by horse, the hanging of the body until near death, disembowelment and castration, followed by the beheading of the body, and finally the quartering of the corpse, or the division of the bodily remnants into four pieces. The punishment was carried out in public, with the ridicule of the crowd adding to the criminal's suffering.

Blasphemy!

Au contraire mon frere. SLC's nightlife is actually quite good. There are numerous places where you can go see a very good band on any night of the week and it's fast and easy to get to just about every place in the valley. Kicks the shit out of Overland Park, and beats the drive to Westport all day long. And John Stockton was the best point guard to play in the NBA. Ever. So there. Pfffft.

Actually, Starship Troopers isn't close to the worst. That distinction is reserved for Starship Troopers, 2, 3, and I believe IV.

He was mine until I saw the prequels.

Not knowing who he was made him all the more evil and mysterious.

No. Every story I hear about that is from UTAH. Never claimed they were San Diego teams. If you go back and read my post. I said within a 2 hr drive. Last I checked LA is 100 miles unless its moved drastically since 2 weeks ago when I was there. But we do have UCSD which is one of the highest rated schools in the country academically. And SDSU has one of the highest rates of STDs in the country. So there. LOL. The Zoo is one of the best in the world. I have been to several other zoos in several other states and they are animals behind bars. Yay. Did you get a chance to check out the Wild Animal Park?

At least they weren't sold as feature blockbusters!!

I was lied to. I still demand my money back.

I have seen slc punk, that is what i imagine utah to be. Who the hell has heard of the utah scene, of course you think it's good, just imagine a place like KC where we alone get GARTH ****ING BROOKS!

This is awesome! Rep.

Only if you never read the book. Then its a steaming pile of kaka.

Which Dune?

Original, horrid, nasty, filthy adaptation.

Mini-series - Okay, not disastrous. At least it kept with the storyline.

there is alot of people on this board that love dune. david lynch is a winner

I only mentioned Snatch. Since then, he has become THE actor that has made Christian Slater look good in comparison.

And I can't believe you didn't like In the Name of the King. I thought Statham really pulled out one, if not his finest acting role since Snatch in that one. I thought he held his own against the great Burt Reynolds.

The Weatherman. DVD box said its "part American Beauty".... which part? Like they are both movies made in America?

I can't believe anyone did not mention "Steel Magnolias".

Another epically bad movie: "Where the Red Fern Grows" or something like that. I'm not entirely sure of the title.

Another bad One:

The Day After Tomorrow-somehow, global warming causes insta ice age.

The Day After Tomorrow is awful. Not a surprise; it was produced & directed by Roland Emmerich... pretty much everything he has done = steaming diarrhea.

Bridget Jones' Diary-Rene Zellwegger, ole chipmunk face herself, as a fat chick's take on the meaning of life.

I just saw that the other day on TNT for the first time.

Agree....horrible movie.

Many women love that flick


But women's opinions don't matter when it comes to movie critique, because most of them watch the dumbest shit known to man.

The Happening. Terrible just terrible.

Hey now... I don't watch that shit! :cuss:

Chick flicks like that are for either a. high maintenance women w/ a limited vocabulary that consists of "oh my god", "like totally", and "whatever" or b. teenage girls practicing to become high-maintenance women.

In that case......I respectfully add these movies.


Message in a Bottle
The Notebook
Pretty Woman

My God that movie sucked so much ass. Hayden is absolutely worthless.

Yep, it's pretty dumb.

Great hype machine, so-so movie.

HEY! The first one was funny back in the day.

Drew at her best.


In a completely unrelated mindspace [with the exception of the subject being DB related], does anyone watch Mad Men and get the sense that the daughter is a more talented Drew?

"Queen of the Damned"

That is the most epic book-mangler Hollywood has ever made. Why? Because it didn't just FAIL at ****ing up ONE book to screen adaptation, it ****ed up TWO.
In the same movie.
Just ****ing horrible. Makes Twilight look like legitimate work.

"Howard the Duck".
I had forgotten all about that POS until Pablo started using it as a Sig. I decided to watch it on You Tube. I couldn't make it through the first 10 minutes.

GI Joe

That movie has a different dynamic than 'hate' for me. I respected the unblinking darkness of it, but it was still off-putting. I'd call it a 'good movie I nevertheless hated.'

DP bought the 25 lb test line, and the Marlin snagging gear.

Gross

Noted.

Saccopoo gotta disagree with you on Clerks 2. Anytime you have Jay doing the dance of the silence of the lambs it's awesome. And besides it's the only movie with a true Jackson 5 tribute dance. Plus the slam on the Lord of the rings was priceless.

As was the slam on the Transformers.

Agreed!!

I never knew there was a movie, but I probably read the book about 10 times as a kid. Great book.

90% of all Adam Sandler Movies are unwatchable

Click, Little Nicky, Mr deeds to name a few


I love the 28 Days later series ...obviously some do not.


How about some controversial ones:
I thought the movie speed was lame.
300 - Dumbest movie ever?

I don't like the new trend in action movies (like the new Bond movies) where the camera is focused in super close during action scenes to increase the "Intensity" Really it is just nauseating.

Quantum of Solace - Worst Bond movie Ever?

Your and idiot.

sew R U
300 was stupid

Very Bad Things

North Shore.



The only movie I have ever walked out on. Perhaps the worst movie of all time.

Yep, that book was required Okie reading back in the day.

Most people didn't like Jumper. But I thought it was good, but they could of done soo much more with the premise.

This is the only movie i disagree on Dayze. I thought it was great.

I've walked out on plenty of movies.

Katie Holmes prior to being Cruise-missled. And Drew Barrymore Good form Far..but Far from Good.

I likey this one.

Rhinestone

I know a lot of people on this board liked it, but I thought it was horrible. It was like watching a video game, which might be fun for some but not for me.

I was hoping for great battle scenes, instead I got a cartoon.

A good first time watch, but definitely no replay value.

I'll take it his career tanked in movies, anyway. Thank god.

He was one annoying POS.

Just the opposite for me.

It was over the top, it had to be.

How can you convey to 90% of your audience that soldiers who KNEW they were going to die would hold on as long as they did and as well as they did? You make it larger than life. You avoid the fact that most of the Persian soldiers were untrained farmers, you make your soldiers larger than life, killing giant wolves as kids. You make the Persian King a freak, a tremendous exceptionally strong, intelligent, charasmatic freak. You splash blood like watered down paint and you slow motion the better attacks that go against every rule of physics.

Now Troy - That truly sucked. How can you take a war that lasted ten years, a war of treachery, intelligence, love, and utter servitude and trade it in for a two week jaunt with sneak stab by Brad Pitt instead of the intense powerful titanic invulnerable warrior that Ajax was supposed to be.

If this thread proves anything, it's that a lot of people pay to watch a lot of movies they don't like.

I've seen a few posts here about how all of so-and-so's movies are terrible. JFC, why do you keep watching them?

I have very little time for watching movies these days, so when I do it pisses me off if I pick a bad one. As I get older, time often matters more than money.

I think I was hoping for epic battle scenes, along the lines of Braveheart or LOTR. But many of the battle scenes turned out to be video game animation. Nothing against animation - LOTR had plenty - but I felt like I was watching a movie made to appeal to a 20 something gamer. Which I probably was.

Lately, I've come to accept that I am no longer the target audience for most movies. In fact, I don't know what the hell I'm the target audience for.

Golf, maybe?

Are 50 y/o men "tweeners" of sorts?
