Your Most Hated Movies (1 Viewer)

ah Caligula is a bit of a laugh! it's just there's so many different versions of it knocking around.. the one you can get on general release is shite, has just under an hour of cuts!

ah, that would be where all the sex stuff went. i only saw the short version. the editing and camera work was laughably bad.

in reality they are about as vital or interesting as a turnip is to a dead dog.

Em, it's not widely known, but if you rub a dead dogs belly with a turnip, they will be brought back to life.
Naturally you will be arrested, but you will have defeated death.

haha the best thing about this was starin out all the others pervs in the arthouse cinema in brisbane. i was so stoned.

hah, yes, sounds great. there's some recent film called nine days, or something like that, which is all actual sex intercut with various bands playing. i presume it makes some sort of "statement" and as such is "art" and not "pornography". there is alot of this actual real sex appearing in films over the last few years. straight-up pornography is ugly and boring, but it is honest and unhypocritical. certainly i thought Basie Moi was one of the most hypocritical failures of a piece of cinema i had ever seen.

that one that goes backwards, memento.

annoyed the fuck outta me. got through half of if.

Haven't seen "9 Days" but if I'm not mistaken it was made by Bruno Dumont, who also gave us "La Vie de Jésus" and the unbelievably good "L'Humanité". He's a really unusual director. I'd say "9 Days" will be worth a look (if it's by him).

how could i forget baise moi.. i hate that movie with every fibre of my very being.

I don't usually bother giving out publicly about mainstream cinema, because too often it feels like giving out about King Crisps for not being caviar.

But there have been a number of awfully rubbishy films in the past decade or so which are so much the awfuller and rubbishier because of their ersatz "art" credentials...

1.
"Run, Lola, Run"
(- a more vacuous film you could not make without being sponsored by L'Oreal)

2.
"Goodbye Lenin"
(- I thank this film for teaching me one thing: that the name for the emotion experienced by people at an arthouse film who are enjoying the collective experience of being an arthouse film audience is "smugness".)

3.
"Bully"
(- everything I know about teenagers ganging up and murdering one of their number, I learnt from this film. That is to say, nothing.)

And to the people who were giving out about "The Thin Red Line" earlier, I just want to say that you're all guilty of large-scaled wrong-headigy.

"TTRL" is a terrific war movie, maybe the best since Elem Klimov's "Come and See" (1985), which is saying a lot. It's certainly far more substantial than Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan", which - apart from the powerful opening sequence - feels like a somewhat-more-nightmarish-than-usual episode of "The Brady Bunch".

Fuck yeah, godawful movie. Even more headache-inducing than the previously mentioned Moulin Rouge.

 

[george mcfly]

what about Run Lolo Run on Eurotrash?

R.I.P. Lolo..

 

[Alan Remorse]

ha Look At Lolo.. god bless 'er..

 

[broken arm]

what about Run Lolo Run on Eurotrash?

R.I.P. Lolo..

my girlfriend has a sympathetic soft spot for lolo.

I think you might mean 9 songs. which was directed by michael winterbottom, who directed welcome to sarajevo (sp?) and 24 hour party people. haven't seen it, but read a film critic slagging off some other critics who had slated it, saying that they were the same people he saw "in the front row at the screening with their legs crossed". haha.

it's in chartbusters. cutting edge shit.

haven't seen bully. the rather un-good 'another day in paradise' proved how lost larry clark was without harmony korrine. so I couldn't bring myself to watch this for fear of being bored to ribbons..

come & see - is a profoundly disturbing and moving movie. a work of horrifying genius. 'best' war movie ever.. for want of a more fitting description.

No, I think Brian was referring to "9 Songs".

The Bruno Dumont one I was talking about is called "29 Palms", it turns out. It hasn't been released here yet.

[righteous harmony]

righteous harmony, i've had enough of your anklebiters bashing. that film is amazing. it has midget vampires fer chrissakes. what more do you want?

well, midget zombies for starters! maybe i'm being a bit harsh on it. it's no dark wolf tho...

 

[BC]

thats the one. my apologies for any confusion.

 

[chutneyfarmer]

Films that made me angry to have wasted my time on include...

The Matrix
Guess Who (Thanks for that Roo )
The Mothman Prophecies
Star Wars Ep1
9 Songs (It's not "art", it's a crap film. A crap film, with handjobs actually. Woooo controversial !zed )

 

[zebra heart attack]

At the moment it's fantastic four. What a pile of lazy shite.

...
Films i like from this thread:
Chasing Amy: Jason Lee just keeps me amused.
Punch Drunk Love: I can't remember too much about this except that i remember liking it at the time. And it has Philip Seymour Hoffman too.
Donnie Darko: Seems to have slipped into too cool to be cool territory. I still think it's a great movie. Especially if you think back to the first time you saw it.
Dirty Dancing: This used to be on tv around every xmas when i was still in single digits. I knew it was 15's so i loved watching it. I didn't really get the abortion and i'd always look forward to the bit where Baby's top got wet in the river. Ah they were good times.

 

[quasiquasi]

welcome to sarajevo

Ah, I'd forgotten about that film. It's shit too.
