Forrest Gump. That is one movie, that is hailed by civilians and critiques alike, and i just...do not have any cozy memories from that movie. i straight up do not like that movie at all, and i just dont understand the hooplah. the hype around is TOTALLY lost on me, but then again, i kind of dont realyl like movies about slow or retarded people. i just...dont like them. theres something about a rich hollywood actor playing a mentally disabled person that just irks me. i cant put my finger on it. what are some of yours? also, i didnt think Waterworld was that bad, for what it was. its a little too long for me to sit through, but as a movie, it mean, its not any worse than any other cheesy early ninedees action film imho.

Then Henry: A portrait of a serial killer is my pick. I watched it and it was one of the most disappointing films ever. I mean ppl hyped it as a great look into serial killers and the whole psychology of everything behind it. What I saw was one of the lamest b-movies ever, the acting was bad, the plot was dumb and their was absolutely in-sight into the mind of a serial killer. What a retarded movie.
We have this movie on DVD. But, I refuse to watch it! I will not watch it! Why...
Let's flash back to Tiggerific at 5 or 6 in her footy pajamas with her Strawberry Shortcake sleeping bag, going to the drive in with Mom and Step-Dad to see this movie. All I remember is SAND! Nothing but a BUNCH OF SAND! This long, 3 hr., dry a** movie!!!

I didn't get it when I was a kid. Ok.
I got Star Wars enough, and even though I'm far from a trekkie, I liked "Wrath of Khan".
Fast forward to the mid-to-late 90's, my boy brought up Dune and I'm like "That shit was stupid". He lost his mind, "WHAT?!?!? DUNE!!!!!?? RECOGNIZE!!!". I sat down to watch it again, 'cause I was older.
Fuckin deserts, spice, glowing blue eyes, and greasy-ass Barron flying around. Stupid. It was 4 notches below the 70's Battlestar Galactica show.
Early 00's...me and my big brother catch it on a movie channel. Ok, ONE last damn time.
Nothing. It was dumb. I think people like it because it was the "underdog" (re: lame) sci-fi flick when Trek and Star Wars were getting love. Makes people feel good to pretend to like something other people "don't get".
I'll take some heat/hate for hating it. Shit was dumb.

they changed a lot/left a lot of the movie that was in the book. I would say give the Sci-Fi Dune a try because it is much better and does a better job of explaining things than the original movie.

one of my friends saw it and called me in the middle of night with the revelation that he'd seen this movie and it was one of the most eye opening experiences of his life. He used the words "you GOTTA see it!!!"

but i've seen it a couple times since and loved it. it's a bit much to act like this speaks for all of suburbia or something, but i'm not sure that's what the movie was going for anyways. it exposed some ridiculousness along the way though.

I wasn't able to see it as a child, so the death of Prime didn't shake my foundation to the core like so many other young men. Rented it a few years back. Watched, and was for the most part unimpressed. Maybe it was my dislike of Hot Rod, not really sure....
