can anybody name the PLOT to ANY of the Harry Potter movies?? I’m just saying…….

As a matter of fact, yes I can. Thank you very much. :) Don’t even go there.

My answer would have been ANDRE RUBLEV, but it doesn’t count here because it’s not American, and is art film. This is what I get for getting that Film Degree. I also agree with the person that name SOLARIS. I had to write a paper on that stinker. Ugh. PAINFULLY boring. But also art film.

So, of regular American film, I’ll choose BOB ROBERTS. Walked out of that bitch, and I never walk out of anything.

Liked XANADU, but that’s because I’ve not seen it since it came out, and I LOVE the soundtrack. Loved MOULIN ROUGE – tho I cannot watch the ultimately STUPID “like a virgin” sequence. FIFTH ELEMENT has been mentioned a lot here, but I admit I own a copy, and cannot turn the channel if it’s on tv. Luckily, I’ve never seen BATTLEFIELD EARTH, but it’s Scientology based AND stars John Travolta, so it’s got to be a total stinker.

Batman and Robin was just plain unwatchable. EYES WIDE SHUT was a waste of film. HOWARD THE DUCK: gross but oddly entertaining as a child. WILD WILD WEST was downright horrible, but yes, I remember the Kevin Smith story (An Evening with Kevin Smith) about that giant spider. :)

I loved that movie growing up

Chamber of Secret’s: A monster is unleashed at Hogwarts.

Prisoner of Azkaban: A murderer has escaped wizard prison and threatens Harry Potter.

Goblet of Fire: Amid signs of the Dark Lord returning, Harry Potter must surive the Tri-Wizard Tournament

Order of the Phoenix: Discredited for claming Voldemort has returned, Harry Potter tries to convince everyone the truth while a fascist takes over Hogwarts, but dreams about a hallway keep interfering.

If you put Batman and Robin up against the superior re-boots…it’s sad what Joel Schumacher did to that franchise. If not downright criminal. Nipples on the batsuit..jackass.

Although Batman & Robin was a monstrosity from the beginning playing-hockey-with-priceless-diamonds scene, I didn’t even like Tim Burton’s Batman. C’mon — Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne? In the words of Jim Mora, “You kiddin’ me?”

When the “Jump The Shark” blog turned the defining moment Happy Days was no longer a good show into a household word, I thought of making my own site about the moment a movie reached irretrievable stink status. I would have called it “The Joker’s Gun,” named for the moment Jack Nicholson’s Joker reached into his pants, pulled out a revolver with a barrel the length of his trousers, and took down the Batplane with one shot. It was at that point that I said, “OK, this movie officially sucks.”

1. The World According to Garp — Just plain strange and not all that amusing
2. Dead Poets Society — Typical elitist narcissism with added moral that people who had to work hard to exceed are domineering and evil dads who will drive their son to suicide
3. Down and Out in Beverly Hills — Elitist Narcissism in a movie with no redeeming social value. None. Whatsoever.

You are exactly right. Thanks.

what the heck were they thinking? LOL

Buckaroo Banzai – I still can’t figure out if it really is that bad, or some particularly elite joke.

Limey,
It was that bad. Even if it was supposed to be some elite joke, that makes it worse.

:)

If you can’t see Gina Gershon or Elizabeth Berkely Nude, What would be the point of the movie?

originalpechanga on February 23, 2009 at 10:32 AM

Gina and Elizabeth nude, I’m seeing nothing wrong with that.

And, yeah, Boxing Helena gets my vote also.

I still say “Barbarella” with Jane (the commie) Fonda…

right2bright on February 23, 2009 at 3:46 PM

The secret to watching that movie is to turn the sound down, because (and I hate to admit it), Fonda was freakin’ hot (yes, I mean she was extremely attractive) back then.

Really, these Hollyweird stars/starlets are only made to look at, not to be listened to. Watching Jessica Alba is fine as long as I don’t have to listen to her political viewpoints.

If you didn’t vote for Ishtar, well that is proof that you never saw the movie. Because if you had there was no way you could have voted for any other movie.

Let me ask you one question:

Have you watched all 3 hours of The Trial of Billy Jack?

The beers helped.

You are correct however Neighbors and Blues Brothers 2000. They both sucked.

Not as bad as Heaven’s Gate, which is like Sir David Lean taking a nasty White Castle crap, but pretty close to that.
