twilight Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Are there any movies that you bought but you wish you would have rented them instead ? If so, list them here : Right now I can only think of Under the Tuscan Sun and The Watcher. There may be more.
CandyQuackenbush Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 dirty love theres a few more, but I don't have all my DVD's from Iraq at my house.
Head Wreck Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 sooo many. Riegn of fire king arthur (infact i'd wished that tripe never existed, it had me swearing at the TV in the first minute) mission to mars (dull) hero (wire fu, i hate it when its there, in this its taken to silly levels) antibodies (german film, looked to be a good thriller. its just dull)
twilight Posted January 26, 2008 Author Posted January 26, 2008 Oh! The Covenant. STOOOPID! Oh ... I almost watched that the other day. They had it at the library.
CandyQuackenbush Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Oh ... I almost watched that the other day. They had it at the library. Yeah, just don't. Save yourself.
Der Nister Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 To answer the question...no. But there are plenty of movies I've rented and wished I hadn't.
know_buddy_kares Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I'll be one of the few brave souls to risk his reputation by telling a purely embarassing movie I own... I own a DVD called, "The Little Mermaid" no seriously... why would you think I'm being a smart ass?
Slept with ghost Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I bought spawn years ago and that movie sucked much ass
SuZQZ Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 The Producer's. Not the original, but the remake that came out a couple years ago. Thought it would be great with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick... it completely stank. No where near as funny as the original.
Morbid Side Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Gosh.. Hostel- I thought it was going to be a winner, but it was dissapointing and the blood shed was hollywood fx blah. Dorm Daze - A french prostitute + a large french sausage add to the fact that the entire cast is brain dead. The only reason I bought this 'cause it was in the $5 bin. There is a few others.
Fierce Critter Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I didn't buy it, but I agree with SuzyQ's critique of "The Producers." Gads, it was BORING. I don't buy movies for the most part. There's very little I care to see over and over again. If I actually buy something, it's because I've already seen it and want to own it. As for Under the Tuscan Sun, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that movie. I really "got" it. I watch it every time I see it's on TV if I feel like vegging with something that gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.
nilhil_glory Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 lethal force... i usually love b* style action movies but that one was badddddd
the eternal Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Happy feet. F%$# with Mumble and he will step on your ass!! Well, where do I begin??? When the video stores were clearing out their VHS tapes I snapped em up for $4, $3, in many cases $2! So, I don't regret not renting them, because that might have been more expensive. Most of them were good, even classics among them like Casablanca and American Beauty, and then there was , Plump Fiction, with Julie Brown and Tommy Davidson possibly the unfunniest movie ever made. Bean and I put it in and didn't laugh once. It was one of those spoof movies. It spoofed Natural Born Killers, Pulp Fiction, duh, and a whole bunch of other much better fare from the early 90s. I linked above to the imdb listing. Click on it. It says "Plot Synopsis Empty" You could say that again. The saddest part: Actual good actors like Jennifer Coolidge (Best in Show, American Pie) and Dan Castallenata (Homer Simpson) doing the worst acting of their lives. It was just AWFUL!
Homicidalheathen Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 the little mermaid. Even the kids hated it.
DJ Nocker Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Entrails of a virgin and Entrails of a beautiful woman. they are not good....but i guess a novelty
xbittergracex Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Happy feet. I loved Happy Feet. It was so cute it hurt.....HOWEVER.....I was baked when I watched it so thats probably why I liked it. Haven't had the desire to run out and buy it or anything though, or come to think of it, even watch it again. Hmmm.... Somebody Help Me - looked awful...but I got it on a bootleg LOL for free...so I watched it...and it was really stupid. Not to mention all the main characters were black....and all the white people got killed off in these really stupid ways. I can just picture the plans for this movie.... "We're going to make a movie where all the white people die instead!" And it was offensive. I mean, its common knowledge in horror movies that 9 times out of 10 the black dude gets it.....I don't agree or condone it....it just is what it is. But there were actually scenes and lines in the movie where I was like.....WTF. For example....the 2 black couples wake up in the morning and find that the 3 white couples are missing in the woods....so one of the guys says "WHY WOULD THEY GO OUT THERE??" and one of the girls says "CUS THEY WHITE!!!". THis movie was FILLED with shit like that. Its one of those "if we did that what would they say about it" situations. I was kind of annoyed with it. And the Talented Mr. Ripley sucked too....
GOREgeouslyDecorated Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Kangaroo Jack but in my defense, I bought it for "Bad Beer, Bad Movie Night" speaking of which, I should have another one of those...
the eternal Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Happy feet IS a cute movie, and it has a nice message. Safe the environment. Play to your own beat, if if it's different from everyone else. That's TWO good messages. Plus, for some odd reason, it pissed off the religious right because they thought it condoned gays (WTF????) There, pissing off the religious right. That's three good messages. Stop me before I find even more good hidden meanings from that movie. Of course I do love penguins. March of the Penguins is awesome! Kangaroo Jack on the other hand did indeed suck. Did it suck worse than Old Style from a keg? HMMM... Probably not.
Head Wreck Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 the thin red line. far to artsy in places for what the other bits were trying. its as if the writer couldnt decide on what sort of film to make
Hellion Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 The movie"BEER!" anyone ever seen it? not even worth watching at all.
Shade Everdark Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Did it suck worse than Old Style from a keg? HMMM... Probably not. Excuse me, but NOTHING sucks worse than that. Not even a red-hot poker in the eye.
Troy Spiral (13) Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Since i tend to research the hell out of stuff before i buy it, I'm not sure I've ever bought a bad movie.
TygerLili Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Dorm Daze - A french prostitute + a large french sausage add to the fact that the entire cast is brain dead. The only reason I bought this 'cause it was in the $5 bin. Actually, I don't think I've ever laughed harder at a movie. Not because it was especially funny, but because it was so bad there was nothing to do but laugh. That and Morbid and I watched it together, and we're both kinda smartasses. I know shocking, right!?! Anyway, I've inherited all the bad movies he bought. As for me...Princess Diaries, I really don't like it, but I was substitute teaching at the time, and I wanted a movie I could carry as an emergency lesson that wouldn't piss off parents, and usually my taste tends to be R-rated.
