Stingy Jack 10-12-2004 07:19 AM

Secret Window and The Village. Definitely The Village. God damn that village!! (I still search my wallet for the money I lost on that film ... if there is a shred of justice in the universe, my money should come back to me soon.)

True, I don't understand it either. 28 Days Later was great, and so was The Blair Witch Project ... both of these I have defended time and again on this site. I think what they both have in common that turns off a lot of horror fans is the fact that neither one splash gore all over the screen on a consistent basis. This pretty much goes to show you why horror fans get a bad rap, for the most part.

Fluff the Ho 10-12-2004 11:06 AM

Shrek 2

i knew it was gonna be bad.. but like yeh that was fuckin gay. the cat was cool, gingerbread man was cool, but other than that? CORNEHHHH

and to think my friend was like 'OMG i liked it better than the first one! although i did fall asleep half way through' .......................

exactamundo. I had to concede to some poeple about not liking the new Dawn of the Dead, they actually listed legitimate reasons they didnt like it, and didnt just say "it sucked". I dont agree with them (i liked it a lot).

One of the things that stuck to me with 28 days later was the use of digital film. the sequences in the rain are almost dreamlike because of the way the water falls. i think it adds quite a bit to the movie.

Hal_Delrich 10-12-2004 01:46 PM

_Leatha_Face_...what the hell ?

You know the only reason you don't like 28 days later is because Danny Boyle is british.....
:rolleyes:

VenomX 10-12-2004 08:22 PM

OK, to everyone who dissed AVP.

How many of you actually expected it to be good? I could tell from the trailer it was gonna suck. It was rated pg-13!

Yeah me neither. As soon as i walked up to look at the poster 2 ladies walked by and said "Dont watch that movie! It sucks!"

But i took my chances and really enjoyed it. I thought the TCM remake was OK. But the remakes are getting a tad bit played out in my opinion..

Bah... You just wanted to see the Coreys naked... admit it.....:D

Back on Dungeons and Dragons... Being the nerd that i am, i had extremely high hopes for this movie. I can say the same about Spawn. Both had limitless potential that was thourough scat upon by no-talent dipshits who couldnt tell a story at gunpoint.

Spawn at least had some okay effects, but D&D came out later, and had WORSE effects...

And then there was the over-dramatic, almost comical "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!OOOOOOOOO!!!!!!OOOOOOOO!!!!! " when "Snails" was killed... Luke Skywalker did the long "No!" just fine, that little , meekrab, just sucked. And then there was the end. THE FUCKING END..... They all turn into little firecrackers and fly into the sky... WHY?! No fucking clue. they just did. it was "magical" apparently.

Sigh. Fat elves. An unexplained Black elf (kristin wilson... used to host Stand up Stand up on comedy central back in the day...stupid bitch. cant act, cant tell a joke). A fucking dwarf that is almost as tall as Marlon Wayans.

The fucking movie had Thora Birch and Jeremy Irons, and THEY sucked.... The only halfway decent effect in the movie was the beholder that floats by at one point, but 3 secionds of cool special effects cant save a movie that looks like whale shit smeared on celluloid.

Shit, i may just do a full review in the movie section... i got myself worked up now....

DaBroMain 10-13-2004 04:10 AM

OMG D&D was possibly the WORST FUCKING MOVIE EVER!!!!!!! (arioch knows about me and my best and worst movies)

but seriously i couldnt even finish it......the dwarf wasnt even close to how real dwarves are. *Am also a D&D nerd....*:D
