Yeah, I watched the whole documentary on it. The director of it was absolutely delusional, but not as much as the women who played the mother. She went on and on about how Troll 2 was essentially just as good as Casablanca.AKDread said:

To this day, the only movie I've walked out on and would happily jab my eyes out with a soda straw if I had to see it again is "Dude, Where's My Car".
Coming in a close second? "White Chicks".

The Spirit.
I was warned, but I just had to watch that turd anyway.
I don't know which was worse, how badly Sam L Jackson phoned it in or how hard everyone else was trying but blech.
capcha: stranger danger
yes yes indeed stay away from the strange movies.

I watched the intro, and something strikes me as downright disgusting when a director comes towards the future audience and basically says:darkstone said:
"Hey, I know that you'll probably hate every part of this film, but I just want to let you know that if you do, it means you're a horrible, cynical, douchebag who can't even comprehend innocence. If you hate it, it absolutely makes you an emotionless robot. Thank you, and enjoy the film."
Thor.
After the Avengers, I thought that it would clear some things up. Wish I could unknow that movie.

Sure I'm being judgmental as hell; it's kind of the point of the thread. And while I appreciate them making him more of a one dimensional character and showing his journey into super-responsibility, they didn't need to make it drag down half the movie.thebobmaster said:

But reasons why Chernobyl Diaries is a horrible movie (Plot spoilers inbound people!)
Reason I: Characters
I figuratively could not care about any of the characters. Nothing was done to at least give SOME qualities, they were pretty much the same person cloned seven times.
Reason II: Editing
It takes almost a third of the movie to actually get to the "setting", Pripyat. TOO FREAKEN' LONG
Some scenes were done to provide some "suspense" for the viewers (ex: Tour guide goes off screen after hearing noise, next shot is of tourists watching where he went.)
That shot I mentioned lasted WAY too long. I'm talking like 30-45 seconds long.
Reason III: Plot inconsistencies
There's a lot of them
a. They show a mutated fish (from Chernobly's radiation) and it's never brought back up again.
b. For most of the film, DOGS are the major "scary" things :/
c. It's never clear how intelligent the mutant zombie citizens are, or how fast they move.
d. One of the characters first grabbed is grabbed multiple times, only to die of OTHER CAUSES
e. Radiation exposure seems to take place instantaneously
f. THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT F**KING KNEW ABOUT THE MUTANTS THE WHOLE TIME, and to make sure the lone survivor doesn't tell anyone, they THROW HER INTO A CELL WITH THEM TO EAT HER.

Ichi the Killer... that movie deals with things I never wanted to think were there to be dealt with.
Thor is pretty much as bad as it gets... I might as well have coated my eyes in bubble gum whilst burning a source text detailing the Norse pantheon!
As for Napoleon Dynamite, it's probably a matter of taste. I practically pissed myself watching that film and still do each time!

Have to agree, I was reading the book I liked it and told my mom it was good... he was even a little concerned for me. He asked how I could like something so damn dark.Raven said:
They're not quite films, but animated shorts. My media studies teacher showed us four shorts this morn, three of which were by the same guy. The first one was good. However, the last three, Ryan, Bingo the Clown and the end were literally the most frightening things that I have ever watched. They take the concept of uncanny valley and turned them up to unbearable levels. I'm not sure that they're supposed to be scary, but they are. They're like these modern art films and I HATE modern art for the completely superfluous symbolism and lack of coherency. My personal view on things: if your art cannot be understood without understanding complex and mysterious imagery, you have failed.
That's easy. Pan's Labyrinth.
Saddest movie I've ever seen. Really the whole premise is just depressing (perhaps too weak a word for it, even). Disturbed me for days after I saw it.
Now, don't get me wrong, I think it was a well done, masterfully told story, but I also think that it is really not something that I could recommend anyone see.

no you didn't when you can count how many big explosions on one hand in an 80 style action flick YOU ARE DOING IT FUCKING WRONG!!!!!
Paul Blart Mall Cop - A friend wanted to rent this. We were supposed to go to the zoo, but they didn't want to go anywhere so they can check with their guild about raiding on wow -_-. Anyway, it is unfunny and just awkward. They play up this stupid joke that he needs sugar or he runs out of energy and takes a nap.
Visitor Q - There is a reason on asian horror sites they usually have a thread about who has seen it like it was a challenge. It is such a dirty, disgusting movie that thinks it is a comedy. You know you are in for a horrid movie when the first scene has the main character try to see a lady of the night, discovers it is his daughter, and still proceeds to go with her.... shudders... and I must reiterate they play it up like 'whoa what a quirky funny situation' I used to enjoy watching Asian horror, but now I haven't seen a horror movie of any kind for about 6 years and don't have the urge to thanks to that movie.
Supserbad - A lot of people raved about it. I saw it and felt 'this is it"? To be fair, I think net comedians like spoony, retsupurae, todd in shadows are much funnier than anything that Hollywood makes.

Yeah that sounds about right.PsychicTaco115 said:
I expected the random group of teens to be bland asshats. And it took a long time to actually get to the setting? Well, that probably just reinforces the asshat thing, right? Just watching the characters be the worthless characters they are for too long, ugh. And then them just watching nothing? Geez, that sounds boring. Oh, and dogs? Really? Plus, that ending sounds fucking retarded and is a shameless effort to antagonize "those commie bastards" or some shit like that.
So overall, just a crappy pointless generic shitty horror movie which I doubt was really even that scary.
And as for the whole from-the-horse's-mouth phrase...actually, I don't really know what it means. I figured it was just a way to say "from a legitimate source." Why is it a horse's mouth and not a dog's or goat's, I don't know.
