Title: worst movie on a date ever...
Post by: mr. henry on October 17, 2002, 12:07:16 AM
i was watching "blind date" and had a flashback to the worst movie i saw in a date situation.

i don't mean necessarily that the movie was bad, just that it was bad for a date.

it was in high school and on a first date we saw "jacob's ladder"...

...from the front row...all the way to the right.

so basically the movie subject matter, the seating arrangements, and it being a first date, all equalled a pretty trippy situation.

SECOND WORST: also on another first date i saw "natural born killers" and told my date that I DIDN'T THINK THE MOVIE WAS WEIRD ENOUGH...to which she looked at me all funny-like...go figure...

Took a girl one time to see "Man's Best Friend."  I thought the cat-eating scene was a riot, while the rest of the movie pretty much sucked.  She just stared at the thing in horror.  The funny thing?  She was the one who picked the movie.

That was our first and last date.  

Definitely for the best, since my wife, Katie, was kind enough to sit through "Creatures from the Abyss" tonight (again) after we settled in.



Title: Man's Best Friend...an insult to dogs everywhere!

Saw MAN'S BEST FRIEND with a friend of mine. Only entertainment I got the whole film was during the scene where the dog ate the cat and my friend just lost it and yelled out, "I've heard of eating p***y, but this is ridiculous!" The entire audience (all 9 of them) laughed out loud. Man, was that movie awful! You know a movie sucks when even DR. GIGGLES seems good by comparison.

Hmmm... I always had the good sense to take a date to chick flicks or popular comedies, at least for the first movie or two.

My fiancee, Lori, seems to have been able to handle almost anything I've subjected her to. Hey, three months after we started dating, she was willing to travel to Chicago and sit through most of B-Fest.

However, I can think of one really bad rental choice I made earlier this year. We were looking for a nice comedy that she, my mother and I could watch. Since we had driven through Battle Creek, MI on the way to B-Fest, The Road to Wellville sprang to mind. I remembered it being a really funny comedy, and a great presentation of medical quackery a century ago. Of course, I first saw it with a buddy of mine when we were much younger, and trends in movies were a bit different. I'd forgotten what a raunchy movie it was.

Now, both my mom and Lori could probably handle this alone. However, Lori was extremely uncomfortable watching this with my mother, whom she was still nervous around at that time. Mom, a church lady type, was uncomfortable watching the movie with Lori, a minister. I was uncomfortable watching it with both of them together, and felt like a complete idiot for recommending it. None of us voiced any of this until later, so we all just sat there squirming through the whole thing, even though we all wanted to shut it off.

The absolute WORST movie I've ever taken a date to was "Double Team" with Jean Claude Van Damme and Dennis "Freak" Rodman.  It was a situation just like Andrew's because she picked it!

The worse movie I ever subjected my wife to was FORTRESS--that one starring Christopher Lambert in a futuristic prison.  When the bully gets a hole blown right through him with a 50-mm cannon (or whatever it was) and then reaches his hand inside the hole before dropping dead was just a little to much for her.

After that I stopped making her watch those kind of movies with me.  She doesn't make me see the latest Meg Ryan movie, I don't make her see the latest Albert Pyun movie.  It's a fair trade.

Last movie I went out to see on a date was xXx. I just laughed and laughed at how it was so unrealistic, and she ignored me and watched vin diesel flex his muscles. :P

My worst choice ever was Thelma and Louise.  Never take a girl to a movie that depicts wife beating, attempted rape, and the evils of a patriarchal society.  The most sympathetic male character in the movie was Susan Sarandon's pushover boyfriend who sent money when it was demanded of him.  It turned both of us off.

Way back in the '70s I went out on a date with a married woman I knew from work while her husband was out of town.  (What can I say, it was the 70s!)  I think both of us were planning on "something happening" after the date until we went to the movies -- and saw Looking for Mr. Goodbar!  

When that was over, we just said goodnight and went our separate ways....

Sometimes the date is bad for the movie. When I saw Mission: Impossible there was a couple on a date behind me and the woman was about the flakiest person ever, she talked through it and everything that escaped her lips was crazy. When Tom Cruise blew out the window of that restaurant sending fish all over shesaid "Those poor fish!". That was the most normal thing she said. I felt so sorry for that guy.

"Bernie (another SinCin refugee -- and very glad to be here!)"

I heard about what happened over there and am very sorry.  I know that a number of the regulars are now over at Gerry Carpenter's www.scifilm.com - which is a great site (if you have not visited yet).

A good number of folks keep the place busy here.  We are usually polite, though sometimes at odds.  Please feel welcome and have fun!

I once took a girl to see "The people vs Larry Flint", and it was our first date. To tell the truth, we both chose it, and we both really enjoyed ot, but it felt sort of strange to watch a movie with quite a lot of nudity with her sitting by my side.

One more "Date Movie From Hell" experience -- about 8, 10 years ago a woman on a first date insisted we go see (I think this is the title) "Bitter Moon", a sick little flick about an absurdly destructive relationship.  After the movie, I was laughingly ripping it apart as one of the silliest things I had ever seen.  She got very offended -- I finally figured out she was really into S&M and the movie was her "test"!

We didn't go out again...

I took this girl I was madly, hopelessly in love/lust with to see the softcore comedy My Tutor.  I just wanted to sink into the floor.  That was our only date in high school, things changed a tad when I returned from college.

A Roman Polanski film I actually liked.  Very intense movie though, and it does not speak well of relationships.  Definitely not a first date movie.

Would probably be The Secretary.  Interestingly the funders wanted the woman 'cured' of her masochism.  The director nixed that and stuck with his two lost souls find their mates concept.

The Birthday Girl could be a bondage litmus test, although I think people into that kind of thing really ought to act like adults and have honest discussions about what they want with the people they're interested in.  It's kind of twisted that Bernie's date got offended that he wasnt into what she liked when she didn't even have the guts to be frank about it.  It's like asking someone what their favorite color is and getting mad if they don't say blue.

Thanks, Chad.  scifilm.net will get you there now as well (thought a backup might not be a bad idea after what Andrew went through recently).

The worst or at least most awkward movie viewing experience I've subjected my girlfriend to was Orgy of the Dead. All I knew at the time was that it had Ed Wood's name in the box, so it had to be a winner. Then it turned out to be 70 minutes of ugly topless women dancing around, coupled with 15 minutes of dialogue. Although the infamous phrase, "More gold! More Gold!!" still pops up during our little hangouts.

I subjected my friend Christine (who I was very interested in a little while ago, but alas she enjoys Canadian hippies that work at Pizza Hut and live right down the street from me more...>= |...) to watching the Insane Clown Posse's first and so-far only movie, Big Money Hu$tla$, two weeks ago...she hasn't looked at me the same since...

Good point. The worst that could happen if she asked is that they wouldn't continue going out. This is the same result as him not liking the movie. The alternative would be to keep that interest a secret through a relationship, which is not healthy or realistic.

She was obviously just trying to protect herself from embarassment by not revealing anything until she knew where he stood on the subject. In that case, she was well aware that many people would not appreciate her tastes, so her p**sed off reaction doesn't make a whole lot of sense. She obviously thought S&M was weird, or she wouldn't have needed a test.

>She obviously thought S&M was weird, or she wouldn't have needed a test.

I don't think it's that strange that she wanted to test his reaction first. Look at how many people hide the fact that they're gay. Now consider the fact that S&M is thought of as even less socially acceptable than being gay. Maybe she was just afraid of being laughed at or having her interests broadcast all over the place.

If any of the regular posters to this board have an interest in S&M, do you think they'd just come out and admit it, risking being treated as a freak by the users who don't share their tastes? Ok, maybe most of the people here are a little more understanding because of the kind of movies we all watch, but you get the point.

*****  Well, that's a good point and I'll admit I was a little hasty to say folks into that thing should just be frank about it.  But they should be accepting of other peoples' reactions and not get mad if someone -- without even knowing where they're coming from -- says their fetish weirds him out.

This is exactly the point I was making. If she felt that the odds of a negative reaction were great enough that she needed a subtle test, why should she be offended if that was the reaction she got? Getting all bent out of shape over it didn't help her subtle approach much anyway. The test was not the strange thing - the reaction was.

Herm... I Spit on Your Grave, Le Bete (the Beast), or Bloodsucking Freaks are all libal not to get you laid... or a return phone call for that manner. Legend of the Overfiend or just about any Japaness "Pink"  flick will probably get you expunged from little black books as well. I remember watching one where a guy masterbates to pictures taken at concentration camps... nice... tasteful... subtle...
