Hah! Good one. Looks like yet another crappy horror movie. Yeah I've seen previews and it looks horrible.

Hoppers? I don't remember any bugs that jumped in Starship Troopers.

Probably the best horror movie will be Hide and Seek
Anyone ever heard of it?.
Yep, I've heard of it. How good is it?

The hoppers were the flying bugs, they looked kind of like evil dragonflies.

I finally got around to watching Apocalypse Now. It's such a great movie. The redux edition took forever but I still loved it nontheless.

Best movie-The Grudge (send up all night after seeing that)
Worst movie-Sideways (I warned my mom and grandpa not to see it, but they did. After they came out, they said it was the lowest-buget film ever. Could've been worse, they could've seen Manos:The Hands of Fate*)

*MST3K joke.

MST3K was awesome.

I thought Sideways was good. Paul Giamatti is amazingly depressing to watch, but he's an excellent actor. And what was so low-budget about it?

I recently saw Donnie Darko.

It was really good, not great, but really good. Everyone I had spoken to made it out to be... I don't know... the best movie ever, or something. It wasn't. The ending depressed me because it was far FAR too similar to my favorite anime, Serial Experiments Lain. Almost a rip-off, even. But at least the movie was somewhat interesting. I liked it.

In the past week, I've seen the Spongebob Squarepants movie AT LEAST ten times. No joke. I work at a video rental place, so it was unavoidable. However, it's starting to grow on me, oddly enough. I can't get that Goofy Goober song out of my head...

Best movie is impossible, but worst moive is easy
Battlefield Earth, no Showgirls, no The Brain that Wouldn't die, wait, T.J. Hooker, etc. Both are very hard.
The most overrated movie I'd recently seen though, was Napolean Dynomite. Dude, WTF? How did that become so popular?

Garden state was decent, but relatively plotless, I feel. And that guy showing no signs of withdrawal from a drug he'd been taking for most of his life? Mmmyeah...

I Heart Huckabees, Lost in Translation, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, in case I haven't mentioned them yet, are some of the best movies I've ever seen.

I also recently saw Rushmore. The amazing goodness of it was not surprising, due to the fact that it is a Wes Anderson movie.

Yes, Eternal Sunshine ruled. But I Heart Huckabees seemed too much like a director trying to make an indie film, not just trying to make a film...


Simultaneously the best and worst movie: Troll 2. You HAVE to see it. What the **** is up with corn?

Sideways was SHIT.

It was a film. With two guys. And nothing much happened. It was boring. My day to day life is more interesting than anything that happened in that film. Why would I want to go see a film that's so boring that I can get more entertainment from just living normally? Watching it was a total waste of my time.

It was about as entertaining as sitting in a cinema for a couple hours while watching two guys do nothing in particular could possibly be. It compares to watching paint dry while waiting for a bus in a freshly painted bus shelter. I could go on, but I think you get the point.

You can tell it was a low budget film because they only hired a few actors, the rest were extras. They didn't use any sets (they cost too much money), the just used a bunch of reasonably attractive locations, and all the action was really cheap/easily shot.

The end.

Oh. Is that all?

I also saw What's Eating Gilbert Grape a couple weeks ago, probably for the first time since it came out. God, what a great movie. I am appalled... appauled... erm. I am disgusted that Leonardo DiCaprio got so much credit for it, while Johnny Depp is by far a better actor and played the main character. I mean, yes, it was DiCaprio's big cinematic debut. Yes, he played his role well. But he played a RETARDED KID! I mean... jeez.

Hell, there are so many really horrendous films. Like, funny bad films. Here are some greats...

-Troll 2. 80's cheese.

-Nookey (Nuki?). An E.T knock off filmed in South Africa. The alien is a ****ing cylinder covered with latex, for Christs sake!

-Rotor. It's just so horrible it's funny.

The worst movie I've ever seen is called 'Bumfights'. I saw it at a sadistic friend's house, it was so shocking and disgusting. It was blatant inhumanity and cruelty (the homeless people's parts.) The high school fights were really horrible to watch too.
Is it really that bad on the West Coast of America? I used to think that part of America was nice, but now I've seen a different side of it, and a disturbing side.

'Bum Fights' puts the homeless to some use.

Until you can find something for them to do that's as entertaining as that, hush.

Two Brothers! I saw that movie, I thought it was cute. I didn't see it all, though...

I can't say what movies are the best (I really don't watch movies often), but some of my favorites are Dragonheart, Interview with the Vampire (aaggh, someone needs to slap Tom Cruise and tell him he isn't Lestat), and the Lion King. Then there's Forest Gump, and Poltergeist and Carrie for some horror... Deep Blue Sea was okay, too.

Most of my likings are in the past because I haven't seen much that's recent, except last night I watched Brother Bear, and either I'm stupid or blind, but I found it kind of pointless. I'm thinking more the first choice, because I kept hearing about how 'great' it was. Maybe I have to watch it again or something...

Oh, an awful movie: Queen of the Damned. If you saw it and thought it was great, watch Interview and try to think of QotD as a 'sequel'.

If the Harry Potter movies were ever great, the third one's 'organization' gave me a headache. Saving Private Ryan, I'm not saying it's bad, but I didn't like it. It was a gorefest, we had to watch it in school, and I felt really nauseated after that. It's personally embarassing because I roleplay with scenes that end up like that every night...

Anyway, like I said, I don't get around to seeing much movies, but now I know which ones to avoid. xD Isn't it horrible how people make absolutely soulless movies to steal your money and valuable time of your life?

I loved the third Harry Potter movie. Admittedly, more for the visual style/production design than the plot and acting. But Professor Lupine just looked like a slimy pedophile to me. Every moment I thought he was going to whip out his wand (pun unintended) and offer Harry some 'lollies'.

Has anyone seen The Adventures of Baron Munchausen? Apparently that's supposed to have been the movie that had the record for losing the most money (at least until The Avengers came along) but was it really that bad?

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen? UNGOOD?! God, no. That movie was incredible. I don't know how it could lose money.

The first Harry Potter I found quite good, the second one was somewhat lackluster, and the third one was just horrible. It seemed rushed and completely without artistic value. There were also huge chunks cut out of it, as well as small but meaningful and important tidbits. I don't know why they would cut out so much of what was in the book to make a movie that was... what, like an hour and twenty minutes?

Generally though, the Harry Potter movies have been pretty good. I can see the lack of detail though.

The Harry Potter movies are crap - mainly because they don't stick to the books whatsoever. I mean, seriously, how hard can it be to make the books film-worthy?!

Plus, they should've waited until the whole series came out before they decided to make it into a film. Idiots.

No, I didn't mean that, I should've clarified myself. What I meant is that, are there really that many homeless people living in the situations that the video displayed (litter eveyrwhere in back streets, trolley-pushing etc..) As you can see, I'm clueless on this topic.
