Actually, I thought it was a decent film. And I appreciate Robert Rodriguez' chutzpah. I met him once - at "Guerilla Filmmaker's Night," the Independent Feature Project (IFP), L.A.. He said that the lighting guys were too expensive, so he rigged some lamps on either side of the camera and shot it lit this way, by himself. Don't be deceived, though - that $7,000 grew to a helluva lot more, though, once Paramount (I think it was) got ahold of it, post-festival - they gave him a good amount to remaster/finish the film, and this is likely the film you saw. Then along came Desperado, with $1 mil+, and the rest is history. With him was on the panel was Wayne Huang, maker of Swimming With Sharks, a good film, I thought. Also, R.I.P., J.T. Walsh (Few Good Men), who said something I'll never forget: he said "his pleasure in doing a movie is inversely proportional to the amount of money he makes in doing it." Hmm....sounds familiar, in many walks of life.
Ok this movie takes the cake on all bad movies, dont even ask me why i watched it and I almost dont even want to mention it and give it advertising thereby but fuck it. Muriel's Wedding. Worst movie on the face of the earth.
let me count which doesn't suck PI saw Requiem for a Dream Irréversible House of 1000 Corpses High Tension lord of war... that's more than 1 % i believe
The Lady In The Water was the worst I have seen or the little bit of the beggining that I watch before I walked out of the theater
what??? I didn't see that one, just the original. hey, any movie that has been on TNT/TBS 147 times has to be good. i liked it though seriously or seriously I liked it, whichever you prefer.
independence day to me is a special kind of bad, because it looked like it could be good, you know aliens attacking the world, blowing stuff up etc, I love all that end of the world Sci-fi type stuff.
What about War of the Worlds then? I think it takes the cake over ID4 any day of the week for the suckage factor.
oh no way War of the Worlds was good, those parts with crazy mob fighting over the car, and those fog horn sound the space ships made, the vines being fertalized with the ground up people, even if you didn't like it at least it tried to be realistic, the parts that involved people at least. ID4 was just silly, will smith saves the world and they learn how to fly the enemy spaceship and make a virus to mess up all the enemy ships on a PC, because alien ships run PCs , good thing the aliens didn't have Macs. anyways these are my favorite alien invaders little dated but some of you know who she is
I don't get it, War of Worlds wasn't the greatest movie ever or anything, but what makes you guys think it sucked?
I'm not calling it 'the worst' by any stretch but I felt coming out Spielberg Enterprises LTD it would have been 'better'. I was biased going in though, I read a bad review on it. Things mentioned: how a guy who couldn't even feed his own children was able to figure out and defeat the aliens while the army was clueless, how he was the only one in the entire area with transportation, the abrupt ending; things of that nature.
He's the Susan Lucci of the Oscars...save the time she finally won an Emmy on like her 18th? nomination.
I just watched "RV" list night. That experience just moved "12 Monkeys" out of the number 3 spot on my top 10 all time worst movies.
The worse movie I ever watched was Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise in it. I bought the stupid movie, watched and then got so ticked at myself for buying the stupid thing. It made no sense and was completely boring. Reply With Quote
12 monkeys seems to be a nice movie though I used to hate it too but after watching The Ring I slowly understood how some of these movies are made "without an ending"
