All movies rip off some book though....look at National Treasure totally ripping off The Da Vinci Code Book......and was actually real enjoyable!

Quen of The Damned was crud. Read the books, and forget watching it.
Watched 'Saw' the other week and killed my self laughing at all the 'scary bits'.

Favourite movies would be;
Sleepers
Scent of a Woman
Godfather Trilogy
Schindler's List
Blow
and nearly anything else with Al Pacino.

Yes but Battlefield Earth was meant to be based on the book of the same title. Having never read it I can't really tell the vibe of it.

Battlefield Earth was written by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Cult (sorry, "Church") of Scientology.
I have the misfortune of knowing almost the entire Sydney "org" through us having done some charter work for them (then having to threaten legal action to get the money they owed us), and they are some weird citizens.

It's therefore of no surprise to me that the movie (and all the other books he wrote, are complete and utter crud)
The guy got kicked out of nearly every country in the world for trying to start a cult, and ended up living on a ship in international waters.

Ah, can't believe I forgot to list this poor excuse of a film on my list. IMO, this movie is solely responsible for the idiocy and utter monstrosities we see on our roads today!! Damn you F&F!

the_scotsman · 13-01-2005, 11:51 AM

Im going to go against what has been said, and say that When I went to the cinema with a mate to watch Blair Witch, I thought it was ****in scary as!
We used to go camping a lot, and if you put yourself in their position, it turns realy freaky!
Just my opinion.
Crap movies IMO Lord Of The Rings Trilogy..what a complete BORE!

seano14 · 13-01-2005, 01:13 PM

i cant stand patriotic american movies... you know the ones where people salute the american flag with tears in their eyes! or oh my god, the president is in danger!

also there was an 80's horror movie called "brain damage" which was about this monster (read handpuppet which looked like a sock with paper cut out eyes) who sucked people's brains out through the back of their neck.

absolute shocker

Thank god someone said it. I vowed never to watch the movie, then the trilogy, because it didnt interest me in the slightest (its funny how much that ****es some people off).

Eventually, several years later I watched the first movie...i'll never get those hours back! I cant understand why people eat up this fantasy bullshit.
"OMG, an extra extended special extended special edition with 5hrs of them walking!!!"

lol i have the same feeling when it comes to war movies and westerns lol

i guess its all down to ppl individual tastes.

me, i watched all of the LoTR movies the day they came out, then bought all the movies on DVD and watched them back to back lol

not something you would want to do mroe than once though :s

XWGT · 13-01-2005, 03:24 PM

The Village

Hmmm perhaps should have been titled The Village Idiots

Shocker, give me my 120 minutes back

loxxr6 · 13-01-2005, 03:26 PM

Most Aussie films are crap - there are exceptions, Mad Max etc.

Quen of The Damned did suck. For the potential that Anne Rice's (?) novels could have had this film was ordinary.

The Dawn of the Dead remake wasn't good. Yes for special effects, but why change the damn plot !?!? More gore in the original too.

Moulin Rouge was sleepworthy.
Dude, where's my car was about an hour too long same as Kung Pow - way too long.
The ending in Collateral was dumb.
Pre-a-porter. The first ever movie in a cinema where I have seen people walk out, including myself.

Thats just a few....

loxxr6 · 13-01-2005, 03:27 PM

And more :

Tomb Raider movies, not even Angelina Jolies big lips and hoo hoo's(breasts) saved those movies....

The remake of the Avengers. Totally ruined a cult 60's show....

Olympus · 13-01-2005, 03:44 PM

All movies are crap compared to Meet the Fockers, I was in stitches throughout the whole film.

I couldn't agree more, those movies are so god damn boring. And it's near f*cking impossible to get away from the LOTR hype here in NZ thanks to Peter Butthole Jackson filming his 12 hour snoozfests here.

13-01-2005, 06:04 PM

chicago the worst ever. FullStop.

champsky · 13-01-2005, 06:11 PM

oh yeah, i also thought that house of the dead was an absolute piece of s**t!!!!

what was with the game shots inbetween scenes?????

Quasi · 14-01-2005, 12:53 AM

'Insomnia' with Al Pacino and Robin Williams

Anything with Ben Stiller in it.

M14A-Mclaren · 22-01-2005, 09:42 PM

Speed 2, I saw it on tv tonight, its bloody funny though because its so unrealistic

svo347 · 22-01-2005, 09:50 PM

Immortal... The new computer animated movie Absolute $hite!!!!!

suttoinc · 22-01-2005, 10:36 PM

Anything by the TROMA crew but one that really springs to mind is called Fortress of Amerika. So bad you feel guilty for spending more than ten minutes watching it.

Paris Hilton · 22-01-2005, 10:50 PM

how could I forget Lotr trilogy? jeez, i can't belive that got good ratings...all my friends and stuff worship it, good to see other people here that hate it too

Some people like Lada Nivas, some people hate LOTR... sad but true.. and I'd say these two arbitrarily chosen groups are a lot alike... :MrT_anim:

Back to the topic, after seeing it for a third time, the third Matrix movie still sucks ****!

I agree on both accounts

marcuss · 22-01-2005, 11:45 PM

Independence Day and Godzilla are two of the dumbest movies I've had the misfortune to see. I'm very wary these days, always wait for recommendations before wasting 2 hours of my life.

Check out Dodgeball if you want a laugh. Team America too.

M14A-Mclaren · 22-01-2005, 11:48 PM

Bridget ****ing Jones ****ing diary, I swear its on the tv every weekend at my house, I cant stand them movies, that lady at all it sends a shiver down my spine when ever I get reminded of them. All time shittest, most annoying, dumbested and ****ed up movie of all time

RSgerry · 23-01-2005, 01:01 AM

love Troma films. the toxic avenger is one of teh all time greats. but they have done some howlers...Unspeakable is not a pleasant film. copophilia is the most disgusting concept (except for munting...now THAT is filthy).

i gave up on the matrix after the second one and didnt bother with the last one.

BJ · 23-01-2005, 01:04 AM

VANHELZING what a wast of bloody time that was.

Casper · 23-01-2005, 09:27 AM

The Village..I want those hours wasted watching that garbage back.

I cant agree more, i ****ing hated this movie, M. Night Showerman should be strung up by his toes and beaten with a sack full of doorknobs. :evil_laug ....Ahem...
Anyway, most hated movies (other than the village):-
Windtalkers - If john woo goes near another war story again, ill shoot him myself, and he wont be able to dodge all the rounds i put down on him like his lead character did in the movie..

The Musketeer - Not the one with charlie sheen and co' in it. Think japanese 'fight by wire' scenes crossed with the original musketeers.
