Focus: Highlander. God damn, is Christopher Lambert's accent nowhere near Scottish. And then they have actual Scotsman Connery playing a "Spaniard", which isa term that hadn't even been invented yet at the time it's used. They never explain the magilla, the reason these people are immortal, or why exactly "There can be only one". But goddamn do I love watching it. The second girl i ever slept with slept with me the first time after watching it in her basement. Alt-Focus: Damn near anything by Tarantino. We get it, you love spaghetti westerns and niche Japanese music. Telling stories out of order is so hip, man. Fuck off. Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill movies are some fucking travesties of celluloid with some good quotable lines tossed in. Reservoir Dogs is ok, though.
alt-Focus The only thing worse than Amadeus winning the Oscar best picture is Forrest Gump winning it. Over Shawshank, Pulp Fiction and Quiz Show no less. I'm sorry, but it simply is NOT a good movie and no film panders to the audience like it does. It doesn't help it has the most obnoxious, enraging romantic subplot in movie history.
You should, Kevin Costner was great in it. MacGruber This is an american classic in my mind, it's a shit movie but I'll watch it every single time.
Hudson Hawk. So bad. So very, very bad. I still can't help but sing along with "Swingin' on a Star" when they are robbing a museum on fucking skateboards, though.
What Dreams May Come: Robin Williams explores the after life to find his dead wife. I had to turn off the movie half way it was so bad. And not even watchable bad.
Focus: Just about any shitty martial arts flick. You know the kind, where some guy wearing a bed sheet and sandals in a crowded market bumps into some other guy wearing a bed sheet and sandals, words similar to "you broke my vase, we must fight now" are exchanged, and then there's a 20 minute mass fight scene with the awesomely bad overdubbed sounds of breaking tree limbs and grunting gorillas. I will ALWAYS stop and watch those. And then go torrent a bunch more for later.
Add one to my guilty pleasures. And add one of my "just don't get the hype"... The husband made me watch Airplane and I fell asleep half an hour into it.
What is wrong with you? Focus: Tombstone. Since I've been with my girlfriend it has been my mission to have her watch from start to finish, and I have not been successful yet. Not giving up yet.
You might want to seriously rethink your relationship here. And anyone who doesn't like Airplane is weak and should be culled from the herd. Yes, every single line in the movie is a joke of some sort and it can get exhausting, but goddammit its genius.
The worst part is she hates the badass moustaches in the movie in particular and says she's glad I can't grow one (yet!). I had to re-evaluate our relationship after that but it'll be okay. It ain't over yet.
Hello. My name is Chellie. You have slandered my favourite movie since I was 9. Prepare to die. On topic, Twister and The Day After Tomorrow. I have no idea why, I just can't look away from scary weather.
SAM ELLIOT'S MUSTACHE SHOULD HAVE HAD ITS OWN CREDIT IN THAT FILM. You tell her that...I don't know. But something bad.
Battleship, any movie based on a board game cannot be good. This one proves that fact. I cannot turn it off if I catch it on mostly because I want to see an Arleigh Burke class destroyer kick alien ass. After decades, I have managed to cull my Starship Trooper viewing down to two scenes, the shower scene and the victory scene as that is when the breasts are onscreen. You have to be able to work out which scenes you really want to watch out of these horrible movies. I also will watch the 30 second clip when Amy Smart is onscreen as she is just too cute.
You might have to. Just say this to her: "Sam. Fucking. Elliot." ...if there's no positive reaction perhaps you should start throwing handfuls of her shit onto the front yard. Don't worry about the neighbours, when they hear your side of the story they'll probably help you. I think Starship Troopers is unwatchable. It takes a giant, bacterial shit on a classic novel in a way no movie ever has, and that includes Bonfire of the Vanities. It tanked Paul Verhoeven's career as a Hollywood blue-chip director and rightfully so. I just plain hated it except for Clancy Brown and Michael Ironside, who are awesome just like they are in everything.
You mean the shower scene where they show man ass? Puffman...I had no idea. At least that's what I remember about that scene.
Focus: Con Air, The Rock, any and all old Nic Cage movies. I'm not ashamed to love every one. Starship Troopers. The movie prompted me to read the book which made me idolize Heinlein (I was born in the same town he was.) Armageddon. I used to think Ben Affleck was dreamy. (See also: Pearl Harbor.) Alt-Focus:The Avengers. I should like this movie, I really should. I like other Marvel movies and superhero movies in general. I've tried to watch this movie no less than 3 times and have fallen asleep or been so bored that I gave up every time.
Chalk up another shameless vote for Armageddon...something about Ben Affleck and animal crackers just does it for me.
