So I’m stuck in the states at the moment working. Whilst most of the TV in the states is hideous they do have the wonderful HBO where you can watch top notch films without constant ad breaks.

I got in last night, cracked a bottle of Mexican beer and stuck the box on. Avatar was on.

Now this is a film that seemed to gain such media fuss when it came out and had people clammering to see it.

But I thought it was utter cock.

OK – I get the effects were good (and I did watch it on a stupidly big telly), but the story was dull, slow and pretty ridiculous.

There’s been loads like this – films where they get lots of media attention but just seem so undeserving when you actually see them.

Watchmen – Utter pish.

Star Wars episodes 1, 2 and 3

Donny Darko for me absolute pants!

The Big Lebowski.

disneys ‘Up’. seemed to go on for ages and not much happened IMO

The latest Batman whatever that was called

star wars films, lord of the rings, nearly all comic book based films.

I thought everyone had said Avatar was crap? Anyway, I had low expectations and thought it was alright.

The new Batman films were hyped up as being really good. I thought they were quite forgettable.

Watchmen – Utter pish.

So much so, the hamsters posted it twice.

deerhunter. what a load of shite.

Lord of the Rings +1

King Kong similarly uninvolving big-budget tosh but x10

Star Wars episodes 4, 5 and 6.

watchmen was pretty rubbish.

Up was great, but then for me it was moving in other ways too.

Hurt Locker. Pants.

Lord of the Rings +1

Yip. Nearly fell asleep

ohhh i keep wanting to ‘+1’ things!

king kong
godzilla
pretty much every horror i’ve been encouraged to watch
watchmen
deerhunter
the shrek films
rocky (bought a box set of them all, havent bothered watching anymore after the disappointment of number 1)

Lord of The Rings +1

Why didn’t they just get a taxi. 🙂

Cold Mountain and anything starring Brenda Blethyn, especially Secrets & Lies.

The 3 Star Wars prequels

The Ghost Writer

Back Door Badgers

rocky (bought a box set of them all, havent bothered watching anymore after the disappointment of number 1

I wanted Apollo Creed to win too.

Kill Bill vol 1 – gave up after 2 minutes it was pish
Jackie Brown – yawn! Did make it to 10 minutes though

Avatar is one of the worst films I’ve ever seen – I wasn’t even expecting it to be amazing, just reasonably entertaining but it was almost unwatchable.

No Country For Old Men is the most over-hyped film ever though – dull and pretentious.

Watchmen was crap (is there an anti blue people sentiment here?).

I quite liked Shrek 1 though.

I guess a lot of this comes down to the Oscars. Most of these gash films get at least nominated – but they get nominated by filmy types, not the beer swilling masses that watch them.

Oh, and all Matrix films except possibly the first one.

The leather clad female in those films is hot though. 🙂

Oh, and both Daniel Craig Bond movie. Cock to the power of helmet.

Oh, and Con-Air. 😐

Reservoir Dogs…..

Tried to watch it a couple of times, but got bored & turned it off. Normally I can persevere, but not with this…

Is this one of those threads that people contribute to in the vain hope of finding someone who agrees with them?

Yes, it’s one of those.

Except that my choices are objectively correct. All the other choices are just subjective opinion.

con air?!

CON AIR?!>”

HOW DARE YOU!

die hard 2

Another Is Blair Witch. **** I was bored to death never mind scared to death.

Natural Born Killers
Sin CIty

The Godfather

Shawshank Redemption

Con Air is a classic! “Put the bunny back in the box”

I didn’t like “No Country For Old Men” either, but apparently that’s because I lack the imagination to deal with an ambiguous ending 🙄

Cock to the power of helmet.

Phrase of the week, surely? 😀

rocky (bought a box set of them all, havent bothered watching anymore after the disappointment of number 1)

Now that is just wrong. The original Rocky is fantastic, 2 and 3 are pretty good. 4 is just about bearable, 5 IS pants. Tommy f*****g Gunn my hairy white arse.

Pulp Fiction

Seven

Trainspotting

All completely overrated, not awful, but oh so overrated.

Meh.

Who actually raved about Con Air? come on, everyone knows its a joke film and like all jokes, you either get it or you don’t. I didn’t!

Highlander – worst film I have ever seen (part of).

Any Lord of the Rings

E.T. (sleep enducing, literally)

Uh… 32 posts and no-one’s mentioned Titanic yet?

Stereotypical Irish types dancing/getting pissed on pleb deck anyone?

Lost In Translation

And another one for Watchmen. Watched about 30mins and couldn’t find a character I wanted to survive
Never seen Avatar, any of the Die Hard films or Star Wars prequels.

Another Is Blair Witch. **** I was bored to death never mind scared to death.

I was reading this thread thinking “my god, you’re all mad” until I came across this. The Blurred Witch Project is an hour and a half of my life I’ll never get back, I’ve had scarier bowel movements.
