Shit Films Thread

of course it's not a bad thing dude.... it's all in the eye of the viewer

Could i name a dozen similar movies.... probably, there were a mulititude of these shock-horror movies made in the 70's and early eighties, most of them got banned here on the UK on video (usually for which they were made)... i dunno if Rob Zombie was trying to emulate that style with DR, or simply trying to jump on the "retro-remake" bandwagon that seems to be in vogue in hollywood lately... presumably to make a quick profit at the box office.

I did see house of 1000 corpses, but i was kinda blazed at the time.... i do seem to remember it being more funny than DR ... of course that might have been due to the herbage...

Maybe i'll try DR again if i ever decide to get high again

 

you really should
and she's barely a protaganist
but she does get lots of airtime
but she looks so cute bald

 

Devil's Rejects is set in the 70's I think, which is probably a nod to those shock-horror flicks you have in mind. Zombie must be a huge fan of the genre, so I doubt there's any money-making bandwagon-jumping going on

One point my friend and fellow DR fan made, was that it is pretty original to have the "good guys" (the police) being the antagonists in a horror picture. Obviously I'm getting a bit too deep with this here. But that's no run-of-the-mill thinking there.

I'm not trying here to change your mind or owt, just to be clear! I just have to defend DR in a thread about shit films Hopefully raising it out of this here slum if just a little bit!

 

Jarhead was pretty crap I thought, shallow characters who have little development, little originality, except being a war film with no war in it - but this fails due to the lack of other elements to make the film interesting. Could have been the FMJ of the Gulf War, but wasn't....

 

"AI" by Steven Spielberg I remember being particularly crap, but have only managed to bring myself to watch it the once. I nearly walked out of the cinema.

Probably wasn't that bad of itself, but because it was associated with Stanley Kubrick I expected Spielberg to in some way raise his game, stick to Stanley's vision and pay tribute rather than just do a bloody big shit all over Kubrick's treatment with his trademarked fatuous and childish trash sentimentality. Argh.

 

the book was good

 

Both sequels to The Matrix... inane, tiresome pap

 

Still not selling it to me, dude...

 

I'm not trying to sell it, it's your loss, not mine

 

gag, it's surprising how many shitty movies there are.... it's a wonder how they make any money at all.

 

I doubt it *goes off to watch a Miike film*

 

Miike film?

 

Miike Takashi or Takashi Miike in English. He has directed things like Audition, Ichi The Killer, MPD Psycho etc

 

There are reasons for this. The movie did not exactly protray Marines in the best of lights, so thus I would suspect (though I don't know for fact) that they didn't get ANY military backing ... much like G.I. Jane. Films like Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan and such were all funded in part by the U.S. Military, and thus the scripts had to be signed off on. One of the MAIN reasons I put off watching those movies, until my British born husband told me I simply must see them.

 

V was excellent ... Highly recommend it.

Worst movies list:

The Avengers (wanted my money back!!!! - and I loved the TV shows)

Lost In Space (even though I love Gary Oldman, even HE thought it was bad)

The Ninth Gate (have watched it twice to drool over Depp, but ultimately sucked)

The Bone Collector (Denzel, Angelina, and Queen Latifah ... who knew it could go so wrong?)

Star Wars: Episode 1, Episode 2, and especially Episode 3 (*cold shivers*)

and it shouldn't have to be said, but....

Spice World (ugh, accidentally watched 2 minutes of this and thought my brain was going to fall out of my head)

 

Ichi The Killer is pretty good from what I have seen

 

'Napoleon Dynamite' ... What can I say, just that it was the biggest let down ever.

The trailer looked wikced shows the only two funny bits in the film

 

nah way!! Napoleonn was great for the WTF?!? factor!

 

Anything by Tim Burton...What a fucking wanker!

Oi, butt! Sort it out and stop ruining Depp's career! You silly twat!
