Confessions About Movies

[ER]

Confess it, say ten Hail Marys, and go in peace.



For some reason I found the Singin' in the Rain rape scene in A Clockwork Orange absolutely hilarious.

I thought Ben Kingsley's emotional outburst in House of Sand and Fog (2003) was hilarious, and I wasn't the only one laughing.
Ben did win the Oscar if I'm not mistaken. Good for him.

He did win one for Gandhi and was nominated for House of Sand And Fog.

I burst out laughing in the cinema when Danny Glover got shot in Shooter.

I got so angry in the documentary The Fog of War, I wanted to chuck my popcorn at the screen.

When I saw Searching For Sugarman in the cinema, people were playing MST3K and talking back to the screen behind me when Clarence Avant started mouthing off about SA when he is confronted about allegedly stealing royalties.

I walked out of District 9, Invictus and Master Harold & The Boys halfway through: I got my money back for the first two.

I walked out of the premiere of Avengers Age of Ultron as the local government lackeys hijacked the screening. They stopped just short of saying that prior to this film's production in Johannesburg, no films had been made here and Johannesburg is the birthplace of African cinema.

2002-2006ish were rough years for the Oscars. CRASH?! Say no more. Okay, I'll say more... COLD MOUNTAIN? THE HOURS? I'll see your laughing at Ben Kingsley's breakdown scene and raise you an I laughed at AIDS-stricken Ed Harris throwing himself out the window in THE HOURS. The performances of both Harris and Jeff Daniels are totally risible in that piece of crap film. Terribly written, directed, and edited. Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman and her nose were okay, I guess.

I laughed like all hell during the confrontation between Jack Lemmon's character and Kevin Spacey's character near the end of the Glengarry Glen Ross

the same could be said for everyone else watched the film in that class

I dunno if this one requires a "confession". GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS is absolutely hilarious, in spite of the dire repercussions for Lemmon and his daughter. David Mamet was at the top of his game when he adapted his own play to the screen and there are few (maybe no) better ensemble casts in cinema history. I think of random lines and exchanges from GGR all the time and similarly laugh like hell.

I had a crush on Hans from The 'Burbs.

I cracked up in the theater watching TITANIC when the guy hit his head on the propeller with a loud BONG.  I think a few others laughed too.

I also doubled over with laughter at the ending to FINAL DESTINATION 2 where the severed kid's arm falls on his mom's plate.  Some young kids were shocked but starting laughing after I did.

I hated Everything, Everywhere, All At Once so much that I wondered if everyone who had recommended it were either playing a huge practical joke, or had went mad.

The first time I saw JEEPERS CREEPERS it freaked me out so badly that I paused the video, walked around the house, turned all the lights on, and ate a bite before resuming the movie.

[chainsaw midget]

I thought Lost in Translation was an incredible bore and Bill Murray felt like he was struggling not to be Bill Murray. 

I enjoyed the dance scene in Spider-man 3 and felt it fit the mood and characters perfectly. 

I have never seen Godfather 3. 

[claws]

I've only seen bits and pieces of The Warriors (1979). I did watch The Wanderers (1979) many times.
I'm not a fan of mafia movies, but I have seen The Godfather (1972).
I've never seen The Social Network (2010) because Justin Timberlake is in it.
I skipped Machete Kills (2013) because Lady GaGa is in it.
I think Them! (1954) is actually scary.
Jim Carrey should have won an Oscar for his performance in Dumb and Dumber (1994).
I'm easily entertained, but the first two Bill & Ted movies didn't make me laugh. Never seen the third.
Who is/was the target audience for MST3000? There was nothing adult about it. It is basically a kids show that doesn't appeal to kids.

haha, I nearly bought INSIDE LLEWELYN DAVIS until noticing his name on the box. I think he's only involved with the soundtrack but that was enough to put me off!

I concede this may be a rather petty reason to boycott a film by 2 of my favourite directors (on their day anyway), but that's how much I dislike the fool.

[zombie no.one]

I think all 3 NAKED GUN movies are comedy masterpieces and better than most 'best pic' oscar winners
