Overrated movies

[phee]

You know other people rave about how wonderful and awesome they are and you are just like: "um... no... I don't like it.... not even a little bit."

Mine:

The Crow (maybe I am just not goth enough or cool enough to get it... or maybe I liked the graphic novel a lot more)

Lost Boys (Near Dark was just so much better and not so damn corn-ee)

Titanic (I believe this movie has been made about 20,027 times before)

Pretty Woman (perhaps the original screenplay for this movie would have been interesting)

[The_Dark]

Someone is going to shoot me for this...

Blade Runner - Way to put me to sleep.

[phee]

*Phee shoots DarK*

Seriously... thanks for the honesty

[CandyQuackenbush]

I think anyone can agree with me on this. Even tho they are funny...

The American Pie series.

Once they did the Band camp one, which I didn't bother to see, that was just enough.

[kellygrrrrrl]

Steel Magnolia's did NOT make me cry.

[Msterbeau]

*Phee shoots DarK*

Seriously... thanks for the honesty

*Grabs the gun and shoots him again*

I'll probably get shot for this too:

Corpsebride. Tim Burton's earlier stuff was better.

[Rayne]

Corpsebride.  Tim Burton's earlier stuff was better.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Haven't seen that yet ...

[CandyQuackenbush]

Steel Magnolia's did NOT make me cry.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Haha, I just bought that from the 7.50 bin at walmart last night.

:laughing

You MIGHT cry......if you have a heart, unlike myself.....

Mine is actually a machine, and it pumps oil, not blood. I have wires, not veins. I also have a muffler, not an asshole.... I fart Carbon Monoxide, not Methane gas :laughing :erm

[Msterbeau]

Yeah, your so shot for that.

You just wanted to see more blood. :fear

[CandyQuackenbush]

You just wanted to see more blood.    :fear

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

*punches marc* There, now theres more blood.

*laps up blood*

blade runner. nice bit of eye candy (bint with 40's hairstyle) but agree with dark... zzzzzzz

near dark am better than lost boys agreed totaly.its the kids in that that took out all the grittyness and gave it the atmosphere of a 1960's disney movie for saterday morning kids cinema club. (god i hated going to those because of the naffness of the disney films and the over active middle aged men that would try acting ott to get us excited (i sat at the back and hurled drinks cans at the screen)

titanic. shit film. nuff said

sta wars epi 1-3. i like my star wars, but i could of happily lived without those, infact they ruined it for me.

any american attempt at horror. esp teen slasher. look, when will it end. the killers are stupid and unoriginal and i hope to god that middle class americans arent that inteligently retarded. welshman would have just stuck his head in and probably KO'ed the killers. and why must the directors feel the need to try to keep a fast pace throught. if the stuff they write was any good it'd just desensatise, but its not. its not big and its not clever.

most american comedies. stop relying on public humiliation as the punchline. that joke is old. bring out the proper slapstic films please. buster keaton is rolling in his grave ffs.

war of the worlds. nice bit of effects, they tried to bring the story closer to home. but you know what. it aint got shit on the original.

on that note

STOP MAKING REMAKES THIER ALL SHIT (asside from payback, that was an improvement i admit, plus it has lucy lui in PVC :D)

i cant help being male

Yay Headwreck... I agree with all of the above except Bladerunner, and perhaps Cabin Fever by Eli Roth

[Slept with ghost]

i too am with the dark on bladerunner

okay now this may seem like a death wish to post this but

the nightmare before christmas

the matrix

star wars

death becomes her

and thats all for now

[JaneDead]

i really have WAY too many to list.

let's see- titanic. i didn't really like that at all. and so many people loved that and cried over it. the "love story" aspect of it just bugged me.

then there are the "comedies" like:

american pie, something about mary, etc. all those kind of movies all my friends seem to like and i HATE. if someone tells me "that movie was SO funny" i usually don't like it at all.

heathers

pulp fiction

pump up the volume

all the movies listed here by you guys i either do not like or did not see.

except steel magnolias - i do like that movie. and it made me cry i think when i first saw it.

hmmm so so many. just trying to think of the ones people i know love and i can't stand... you name it, i probably don't like it.

[The_Dark]

we need to start calling you Mikey.

[JaneDead]

yeah i'm a picky fuck aren't i?

[sass_in_the_pants]

Steel Magnolia's did NOT make me cry.

Gasp! Shebly didn't wake up!! For crissake, SHELBY DIDN'T WAKE UP! Have you no soul?!?

i too am with the dark on bladerunner

In the Matrix there was the red pill, which was the "real" world and the blue pill which was the manufactured world. About half way through the movie I wished that Keanu had taken the fucking blue pill so I wouldn't have to listen to his damn monologues anymore.

I'm with you Just Dave. Overrated.

[n0Mad]

Everything by Stanley Kubrik.

[Fierce Critter]

It's Saturday night, and I'm going to have some fun with DGN for a little bit. Nyah.

But I'll probably be shot dead for this one.

Citizen Kane. Sorry, I just wasn't affected or impressed. Maybe I'm missing something, but whatever.

And while I'm putting myself out there in harm's way:

Most things Hitchcock, including Psycho.

Most anything "serious" by Woody Allen. Give me Bananas & Sleeper, and maybe Purple Rose of Cairo, but keep the rest. (Not to mention I'm disgusted by how his behavior with Mia Farrow's children was completely glossed over by those sycophants who want to work with the perv)

Nightmare Before Christmas - it was just o.k. Just. And I'm a BIG Tim Burton fan.

Scarface. Say hello to my liddle Zzzzzzz...

There are others, but those are the ones that come to mind for now.

[Slept with ghost]

oh yeah thanks fc im am fully with you on scarface that movie just bored me

[Head Wreck]

godfather part 2

[kellygrrrrrl]

I saw a clippet of the part where Sally Fields Freaks out on some VH1 thing, they were making fun of it. I had not seen the movie before seeing the VH1 thing. So I was actually laughing.....my friends were so offended sitting there all crying..... :laughing

[Slept with ghost]

i watched titanic at MSU my friend johns little sister jodie was going there and were went to visit her one weekend we watched the movie in a dorm room full of girls and at the end of the flick when everybody dies all of the girls were crying and me and john were just laughing our asses off
