There are dozens of us! Dozens!

>I hated Amy Poehler on SNL

is this really a "bad opinion"? this was the last era i really watched the show, and i found her totally unremarkable on it at the time and still in clips i've seen since. then parks & rec came along and was almost immediately one of my favorite shows ever, largely but of course not solely because of her. i since watched the first 2 seasons of UCB and found them pretty funny, her included, and maybe in a way that was made me laugh more than SNL at its safest then and especially now, but it alone wouldn't have made me think this was a future comedy star. i think she got better with age all around.

It's a "spectacle" and I sort of liked it for a while (I bought the picture book when it was released - Hollywood used to do that - I also had the "A Clockwork Orange" picture book - my cousin had the "Alien" picture book), but I now admit"Full Metal Jacket" really is a mess - doesn't compare at all to "Apocalypse Now"


I have no desire to see Full Metal Jacket ever again - and I usually like watching movies over and over that I used to supposedly "like"

The boot camp is great .. The rest feels like a TV movie..

loved the first Creepshow. Even though George Romero didn't return as the director, he wrote the screenplay based on Stephen King's stories (so there should have been "something" to the movie beside whatever skill director Michael Gornick brought to the movie)


but Creepshow 2 has nothing. None of the stories had any inspiration whatsoever. Just plain nothing. Painfully bad.

I thought The Matrix was going to be trash based on the trailer...
(it turned out to be one of my favorite movies)

ID4 was going to be great based on the teaser with the White House exploding. (Sorry, Frank)

Total Recall was going to be fire after the trailer (yet another reason I don't watch trailers)

<--- Me when my head hits the pillow

unless you are talking about the shitty remake. I ride for nearly all mid 80s to early 90s Ahnold movies tho and that one is especially great to me.

The OG might was dope. Haven't seen it in a while but I would think the action would hold up.

<--- Me when my head hits the pillow

It just wasn't good enough to step out from the shadow of the original. On its own merits, it's a solid, well-made movie.

I don't know if the trailer raised my expectations too much or what, but that movie just didn't do it for me.

I wanted to like it and that sequence where Biel and Farrell are in the car when they drop out of the sky was really well done. But I thought the script was really poorly written.

Just my take.

<--- Me when my head hits the pillow

Turns out, yes... yes they were.

my wife had never really seen any of them, when we marathoned through it was excrutiating. it's all meetings in conference rooms
www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

And was awestruck at how stilted and bad the dialogue is. And the pacing. And the largest critique, how joyless they are.

but i forgot how bad they were. I HATED THEM IMMEDIATELY. But I tried watching them again and never realized all of the stupid shit they had Jar Jar do. Like every fucking time he walks out of a room. He turns the wrong fucking way. So they hold the shot and have him turn around and comedically follow the jedi. EVERY FUCKING TIME! Jesus christ George.

your mind refuses to allow you to remember everything about them

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

after the first one, I only saw the other two in theaters out of pure curiosity. So I was one to talk kindly about any of those 3 movies. But watching them again was even worse. Maybe just because even MORE stands out as horrible now. Like back then i thought the CGI was badly done and just a bit much. But now it looks like they are in Toon Town. God its horrible.

November 8th, 2005 The greatest night in the history of GD!

execution of it is terrible. The world-building and overall narrative is great and that's what you tend to remember until you actually rewatch them and remember how terrible the dialogue and direction of the actors is.

I assume has not watched them in the last decade

I also did a marathon before TFA and good God they are just awful movies on nearly every level

--------

Still mad at myself for that. The only thing holding The Clone Wars together is it's not as bad as Phantom Menace, but it's almost as bad.

The Darth Maul light saber fight had good music, but the green screen is embarrassing, the cutting is mostly bad, and there's nothing at stake cuz the movie is garbage.

And the Yoda/Chris Lee fight? If you have fond memories of it, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REWATCH IT.

They're some of the worst "big movies" ever made.

Episode 2 i didn't like. Episode 3 was dope AF though.

************************************************************

Episode I... Darth Maul; The final lightsaber duel might be the best one in a live-action film; Pod race

Episode II... Dozens of Jedi at the same time; Yoda using a lightsaber (don't care how silly this is in retrospect, it's almost like a "So bad, it's good" moment to a degree)

Episode III... Another great lightsaber duel

The main problem though is Hayden Christenson was really, really bad. Jake Lloyd wasn't great either. Natalie Portman didn't do anything for me in these movies, but that showed just how bad the scripts were really.

I usually see these at least once a year with a marathon with the kids. They are terrible, Episode III the best of them but still has so many flaws. I laugh when Anakin says from his point of view the Jedi are evil after he's killed a bunch of kids.

To be fair, beyond the special effects and world building, the original trilogy doesn't thrill me either.

in everything i'd seen her in, while others seemed to dig her, her characters (and/or her portrayals of them...im not sure) just kinda always got on my nerves/irritated me.

but on the FX show "Legion" i LOVE her as Lenny....perfect match of character & acting style (similar experience with Keanu in John Wick)

She's got that nailed. I wish Ingrid Goes West was actually a good movie, but it has a really captivating opening sequence and Plaza helps that movie avoid being a completely predictable snoozer.

It was, like, a 2.5 out of 4 stars at the time for me, and in retrospect that was *really* generous. Outside of Tim Blake Nelson's scenery chewing, there's not much there anymore-- imo, it's easily the worst of the Marvels.

Lee's movie has some frustrating stuff, but it has ten times the imagination, it has better action (and, weirdly, animation imo), and its best moments absolutely smoke the best moments of Norton's Hulk. Everyone hyped the Hulk vs. Abomination fight, but it has dodgy animation/editing, whereas the Hulk desert sequence in Lee's flick is still fun today, even with the aged CGI.

Devil dogs was its worst sin, but I have to give him props on making a literal 'comic book movie' complete with appropriate graphic panels and transitions. It wasn't perfect, but never as bad as everyone said (except the devil dogs. Those were terrible)

I never liked the look of the Ed Norton movie, which I pretty much consider a stand alone movie regardless of the end movie stinger they tacked on. And that 'Hulk SMASH!' was cringeworthy

>I never did and still don't understand people's problem with the dogs

They're ridiculous. In appearance, in concept, in execution. There's not a single positive to glean from their presence.

I think it got judged harshly against the other Marvel movies, but yeah. It's not that good. It's watchable. But naw.

___________

Back again for the first time.

it's the exact same: we just laugh about the dog attack scene. I can appreciate what Ang Lee was going for, but he missed on the execution. Ed Norton's wasn't as ambitious but it was better.

>Ang Lee's Hulk.....Hulk dogs.
>
>Ed Norton Hulk.....That awesome scene with Tim Roth walking up
>to the Hulk with no fear in his heart only to get kicked in
>the chest.

Yep, there's a massive gap betwern the two.

The Ang Lee movie was trash. Garbage. Liquid dog shit.

The fact is that people who like it usually turn out to be Ang Lee fans, and that's why they like it.

The tell is blatantly obvious too:

Hulk is referred to as Ang Lee's Hulk, whereas Incredible Hulk is referred to as Ed Norton's Hulk.

If it pretentious Ang Ler fanboyism wasn't the culprit, it would be Bana vs Norton, actor vs actor, not director vs actor.

And his last one, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, was one of the more laughably bad movies made in recent years. So I don't consider myself an Ang Lee fanboy.

His movie just actually has, y'know, style. Whereas Louis Leterrier's direction on The Incredible Hulk is totally anonymous and/or bad. Blurry, dark, badly cut, etc.

I'm also not going to pretend I think Ang Lee's Hulk is completely good either. It's just a much better and more interesting rewatch than the newer one. And Bana is better than Norton. And the fight scene in the desert in Lee's is better than the Hulk/Abomination fight. *shrug* Just my opinions, of course.

Infinity War? There's NO WAY that they can successfully depict that huge epic story in a movie.

Heath Leger as the Joker? That does not sound exciting or good at all.

Pacific Rim? Monsters vs. Robots?!?! GUILLERMO DEL TORO?!?!?!?! Sign me up, there is NO WAY THAT CAN BE ANYTHING LESS THAN AMAZING .

Intolerable Cruelty. "I'll watch it because the Coen Brothers can NOT make a bad movie!"

That's just off the top.

Captain America? Whatever...that shit is gon be boring...

Oh man...Matrix Revolutions? Thats gon be DOPE!!!

Who cares about Apollo creeds son?

Willem Dafoe as a scuzzy motel manager? This looks DOPE!

I used to think he was garbage.

And I still hate Pulp Fiction for the most part.

It's his other work that made me see his genius. And he is a truly gifted dialogue writer, love him or hate him.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

*Effasig*

I mean if you like everybody sounding the same and aiming for a pop culty couplet I guess he would be good

But nah. It's mostly expository white boy cool wannabe poetics/philosophy

It's also hella racist and sexist

I loved it when it came out. I even thought it worked better as a movie than Pulp Fiction. (not exactly the same as a better statement)

I tried to watch it about a year ago and whatever mystique I had for it vanished. It just seemed like it was trying too hard.

It's interesting how much his movies are essays of their time of release, even though most of his stories don't deal with current day events.

Including Death Proof but I couldn’t get into Hateful 8.

I thought it was going to be a really terrible spin-off and almost never watched it again after one of the S1 episodes

now I'd rank it's entirety ahead of The Office (US), which had higher highs but lots and lots more lows

I was like "well, at least more rashida right?"

wroooong

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

And that last season was absolutely perfect. Currently bringing the wife through the show and it may even be better on the rewatch.


Except the first season though, fuck that. Skipped it entirely for the wife.

There are already a lot of episodes, and just about the only plot from that season relevant to the rest of the show is Andy's origin story and Leslie getting to know Anne. So much of the rest of that show is like a weird social experiment in retrospect.


I really can't think of any show that benefited more from the writer's strike and getting some time off to think about all the ways in which that show didn't need to be The Office But ...Not? to be good.

Started with the Season 2 and picked it up just fine. And it's indeed my favorite sitcom ever.

Only episode from Season 1 that I've watched was finally. Went back and watched it on Netflix after that fact because I kept hearing that it was the first episode that the cast really worked together and how it was a lot of fun. It wasn't very good in comparison.

I couldn't have been more wrong if I tried. After those shitshow "Xmen" movies, I was this><close to giving up on ever seeing a good Marvel movie.

That trailer had me hyped. Thought it was gonna be a classic. So geeked when I found the torrent. Then me and my roommate watched, mouths agape, at how bad it was.

of a career after his early teen movies. Thought he was going Vince Vaughn’s bag too much.

But I think Frank even tried to convince me on him in that teen alcoholic movie. Now while I’d didn’t fuck with that. Most shit he’s been in has been good. And I LOVE Whiplash.

I even went as far as thinking Fantastic Four was gonna be the shit cuz of MBJ, Mara, & Miles.

<---https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DL9AVTQ

I haven't seen anything I liked with him yet but think only those dumb Divergent movies and Fantastic Four is all I've seen, will try to check Whiplash out some time.

it was a piece of shit then and its an even bigger piece of shit now.

but tentatively, I'm willing to chalk that up to hyperbole/not remembering how bad TPM was

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

It's still pretty to look at but I quickly realized I didn't care about any of the characters, the dialogue is pretty bad, and unobtanium is such a laughably bad name that it takes you out of it.

and nice to see O_E still had/got turrbl taste and was comfy using gay slurs in 2010

yeah that movie is turrbl

it didn't even make sense by its own standards
