Bad Movies / Re: Films you don't talk about...

Hilarious.

RUSH = early 90s drug thriller?
I absolutely hated it the one time I watched it on VHS. In retrospect, I think the intentions were serious and noble, but the (one-and-done, iirc) director wasn't capable of delivering a serious, challenging, good film instead of a boring, overwrought, frustrating mess.

The only films I try [sic] not to talk about online are those born out of such hatred or meanness or bad faith or mental illness that I feel like even acknowledging them will only grant them more power. Still I stumble at times in this effort.

Ron Howard's RUSH about the relationship between Formula 1 champions Niki Lauda and James Hunt. The film is so historically inaccurate that, great performances aside, it presents Lauda and Hunt as mortal enemies when they were actually friends off the track, more like brothers really.

I will walk out of a film when it is a historical drama and isn't factual, another reason why I disliked INVICTUS and I assisted in pre production on that 😳😳😳

OBEX (2025): An agoraphobic computer nerd travels inside a video game to rescue his dog, kidnapped by the demon-boss Ixaroth. Another quirky, warm-hearted, and lightly surreal parable from Albert Birney (SYLVIO, STRAWBERRY MANSION), this time with a 1980s VHS/Macintosh aesthetic (and, for some reason, presented in black and white). 3/5.

FWIW, I have never seen a single ROCKY movie and have no desire to.

I like that CoPilot threw in an astronaut playing the drums.

I don't fear getting flamed for talking about movies.

Sometimes I will review movies positively and get flamed because I didn't praise them enough (this has happened to me with "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Songs from the Second Floor," "Enter the Void," and some others I can't recall.)
