Classic movies you can't fething stand

[Jezzascmezza]

I liked the Godfather 1, but wasn't so keen on part 2. Probably because I had this really annoying piece of dirt or something wedged in my eye for the entire duration of the movie.

Maybe this is too early, but i hated The Social Network

I liked that movie, but I definitely wouldn't call it a "classic," yet.

The Big Lebowski (yeah go on, someone please post a YouTube of The Dude going "that's just your opinion man" in response, I haven't had enough boring unimaginative cliche in my day)

What if I posted a clip of John Turturro saying "Nobody fucks with the Jesus!" Bet you wouldn't see that one coming, would you?

Well, TBH, this philistine attitude just makes me sad and weepy. Do my tears surprise you, sir? Well, strong men also cry. Strong men can also cry.

Any quote from that film is basically boring. I can see why Internet folks like it, it's not even a proper film, it's just a collection of boring memes stuck together. Or at least that's how it watches.

I pretty much can't stand "boring" classic films. I referring boring films like Citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia (ok there is an action scene but by the time you watch that bit, you have no idea what is going on) and this Italy film called La vita è bella (It's a total bore fest).

Gone with the wind but especially because I can't stand Scarlett O'hara, she's a selfish slavers who maniacly want thing because she can't get them and his in no way likeable. Thank god Clark Gable made that movie bareable.

That dear sir is not mary sueness thats bad assery.All (unfunny) jokes aside though i think its better that way, theirs just so much more importance to it . A charcters death actually means something when you've gotten the chance to know them over the course of time,to love them or hate them, to feel something for them.They become human(fictional i know but still) not just red shirts(though their are plently of those) waiting to die.That it it creates, dare i say it a sense of concern for them, any of them can die at any given time.(probably towards the end of the book )I damn near cryed when Try again died and Caff's death was positively tragic .Though they do take a lot of baddies out with them so i'll give you that.

Ok, I generally agree with that, but I still think some of the redshirts could have been given more character. Also, alot of the named characters that get killed off wont be ghosts, they'll be one-off characters from other regiments that don't last the entirety of the book. There's no reason why more people like that can't be killed off.

Also, I think it doesn't help how a big fuss will be made over named characters, but very little over anything else. I find emphasising the deaths too much is very counter productive and tends to cheapen the deaths of everyone else. The ones I tend to feel more are the ones that have been given some kind of character, but then are quickly written off as casually as anyone else.

Ok good point that probably would've made their deaths more meaningful,and the non-ghost to ghost death ratio is a admittly a little skrewed,(though show me a book or show where the main chacters die of as quickly as everyone else and i'll be shocked) That being said loads of ghost still die and it not as if their space marineing it though the novels mowing down millions of cultists,mutants etc. left and right and walking of severed limbs, their fighting tooth and nail aganist blood thirsty often highly skilled baddis and often get as good as they give, reread 1st and only, more then half the charcters from the book arund 60-70% are KIA as of Armour of contempt. think about it would it supirse you if Abneet killed of any charcter in the next book? As for the emphasis on the deaths of the main charcters i don't think it cheapens the others death exspcially when their just sort of cut don't like no names(the colonel).That and plently of redshirts die really well actually.Can't recall their names(i know points deductions) but most of the ghost who die in Guns of tainth or Straight sliver ,Armour of Contempt have very good deaths(Calming accpeting you've nothing to live for sitting you ass down in a comfy chair and shooting the first four bastards that work into a room, getting crushed by another man whos jumped out of a flaming transport and the desparte forlorn hope that he land on something somewhat soft and not get splattered, i could go on but this is getting way to lengthy). Abnett puts just as much thought and effort into their send-offs as he dose the main charcters.Though their is admittly less weight to them by virtue of their characteraztion (which if you think about isn't really possible consider just how damned many ghosts their are, it a regiment man). I myself tend to feel more for the younger ghosts because they remind me more so of myself (i.e they do stupid shit and are often scared witless) and like Daur do things i would do in a 40k warzone(crap myself and curl up into a ball in the nearest ditch.)

Any quote from that film is bas

Donny, you are out of your element.

Hell, you don't even know that it's bowling people who love that film, because it's a bunch of bowling strung together.

I'll grant you, it's not as great a comedy as Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. But then, what is?

Well, yeah... I guess I don't hang out with bowling people. I'll give you that one.

Happy Gilmore because I had a high school class where the teacher taught for half the class then put a movie on and the rest of the students always chose Happy Gilmore.

Any movie ever shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000 prior to the show coming to existence.

I'm sorry, are those classics?

 

[Casual Shinji]

E.T.

Even as a little kid I found this movie to be a giant bore fest filled with ugly and annoying people (Though, I mainly blame the ugly people on the 70's).

Red Dawn, boring as fuck, tries to be a badass action movie and serious drama, fails at being either, and Homefront (A.K.A. Red Dawn, the game) is even worse.

You clearly aren't a wolverine.

How do you keep warm?

By burning the reviews for games like Homefront and saving money for good games. I rented Homefront and ALL my assumptions about it were proven. It was boring, derivative, shit.

Are you saying your hatred keeps you warm?

But then, how are we any different from him?

Different hate burns at different temperatures.

To save time, I'll just say "Pretty much all of them."

At least the "classics" that movie buffs rave about I rarely seem to like... I tend to like the "classics" that the average person raves about though.

 

[Talon_Skywarp]

Godfather.

It is sooooooooooo boring

 

[DustyDrB]

Two Kubrick movies (I do like or love the most of the rest of his work): 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange. The former was just dull, the latter I just found a deplorable experience.

I sat here for five minutes trying to figure out wat fething meant until I sounded it out.

Anyway, its not really classic, but I couldnt get into the Red Dawn movie. I'm sorry, I just didnt care for it, and that the communists would take the time to invade an unpopulated strip mine town in Colorado only further distanced me.
