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

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.

Last post by claws - Today at 06:24:23 AMNo worries. Nobody will ever know your hate for District 9 online! 
Quote13 for me: I actually walked out of District 9 and demanded my money back. Got it too.
QuoteI think I am totally on my own when I say that I dislike The Shining, District 9 and Invictus
QuoteInvictus and District 9
QuoteDistrict 9 (aside from Sharlto Copley's performance, this is a horrible film)
QuoteI only watched Elysium to give SA born filmmaker Neill Blomkamp another chance after the poo pile that was District 9.
QuoteI hated District 9 for various reasons. I actually walked out and demanded my money back.
QuoteI also never quite understood the appeal of DISTRICT 9 but I did like CHAPPIE.
QuoteDistrict 9 (I hated this movie and I wasn't the only one here who did)
QuoteI actually walked out of District 9 when I realized what I was watching was nothing more than a thinly disguised anti-South African diatribe from a born South African who must have had a really crappy childhood here.
QuoteCHAPPIE (After District 9, no thanks and what is my beautiful flag doing on the shoulder of an ugly robot?)
QuoteDISTRICT 9 (anti-South African garbage disguised as a sci-fi film)
QuoteNeil Blomkamp must have had a really crappy childhood in South Africa: my theory is that his films District 9 and Elazyium are anti-South African diatribes.
Quotehe passed away last year but he was a damn good filmmaker. Until District 9 came along
QuoteNeil Blomkamp's District 9 was an anti South African film disguised (not well) as a sci-fi action film.
QuoteIf the SA public feels that District 9 is yet another faint reminder of their supposedly unique past, this film will bomb at the local box-office. Many anti-South African films such as A Dry White Season and Catch A Fire among others, crashed, burned and slid right down the crapper here.
QuoteI get asked this all the time and I always say that I love movies like The Shining, the 1973 Lost Horizontally, District 9, Chappie, Invictus and things like Cry Freedom and Lethal Weapon 2 😉😉
QuoteI walked out of District 9, Invictus and Master Harold & The Boys halfway through: I got my money back for the first two.
QuoteI have also never gotten the hype and acclaim that DISTRICT 9 has gotten over the years.
QuotePeople know how I feel about DISTRICT 9.

Last post by Trevor - Today at 05:49:59 AMI've realized that it's better to keep quiet online about the very few films I don't like, especially on X and Instagram.
Here its fine as it's mostly friendly banter and different opinions are accepted.
But elsewhere, I keep quiet about films like THE SHINING, RUSH, DISTRICT 9 and INVICTUS as people don't like opinions which go against popular opinion and people are very protective of these four titles especially.
Any other titles which you try not to talk about online for fear of getting flamed?

I had to place one of these. It ends with the coronation of Elisabeth and Franz Josef as King and Queen of Hungary, and that is in 1867

Last post by Alex - Today at 12:40:52 AMQuote from: chainsaw midget on July 15, 2026, 06:05:11 PMThe Bride (2026)
This is a new one, so I'm going to do something I don't normally do.
I'm going to give you a spoiler warning.
This post spoils everything.
and now you're warned.
I just watcheed The Bride, the new Bride of Frankenstein movie. It only took me a few minutes in before I realizes ... damn. It is not looking good. That Mary Shelly intro is just all sorts of terrible not only from a narrative point of view, but disrespectful.
It starts with a very tell-no-show scene where Mary Shelly, is in some dark void talking about how she wants to present the story that she REALLY wanted to tell. She comes across as either drunk, insane, or some combination of the two in a very disrespectful way. She ends up possessing a woman... who is almost immediately killed. Then the actual Frankenstein's Monster (called Frank through most of the movie), shows up at some random mad scientists house. He tells her straight up that he wants sex, so she needs to make him a Bride. I'm not joking. That's actually how he puts it. So... they end up end up digging up the body of that woman who Mary Shelly possessed. And it appears that Mary Shelly is still in there, although what effect that has on the actual plot never seem to be apparent.
The woman is brought back, she doesn't know her name and the movie makes a big deal out of this. She distinctively does not want to be Frank's bride, although they go out together and they bond ... somehow. It's just that they start getting along. I don't know.
So, one night the two of them are attacked by some drunken punks and Frank kills them when they try to rape The Bride. From here on "the Killer Monsters" seem to be a big news story. This introduces a detective and his secretary that never seem to actually have anything to do with the plot until the last few minutes.
Eventually while on the run, they sneak into some big fancy party where they pretend to be waiters. For some reason they do a big dance number to "Putting on the Ritz". Then The Bride has this weird long rant afterwards they shoot and policeman and run. Apparently this inspires like, six women to run through the streets shooting guns in the air and shouting "Brain attack" for reasons I can't figure out. This is apparently some big femminist movement.
so Frank and his Bride are on the run. A cop pulls them over and tries to rape the Bride and Frank shoots him (kinda odd that this is the second time in the movie that somebody tries to rape her and Frank saves her.)
There a scene later in the movie where they got to a theater, and Frank confesses that she's not actually just recovering from an accident like they told her ealier. They brought her back to life and he had no idea who she was before that. There's a weird thing where they're sitting in a car talking, but the drive-in theater shows them as actors on screen delivering the same lines and this ISN'T a stylistic effect because there's one other character who can see this and has no idea what's going on. Anyway, this is when she decideds she has to have a new name and declares herself "The Bride."
Frank proposes to her and she says she doesn't want to be anyone's bride. Kinda mixed signals there. Then the police show up and shoot Frank in the head. And he dies. The Bride decides to take his body back to the mad doctor from the begining.
She can't revive him and isn't going to try. Here's where we get a last minute revelation that she and her former lover used to experiment on each other until one of the experiments went wrong, he forgot who she was, and she had to put him down. Kinda too little too late to mean anything to the movie.
The detective that has been following them the whole time jumps out and shoots the Bride a bunch. Then other police show up and open fire on Frank and his Bride and the detective runs.
The secretary then says she's in charge, she's the detective, and pulls out a badge, which is another revelation too late to mean anything.
The movie ends with a flash of electricity and we see the Bride and Frank's hands start to move. Then we hear The Monster Mash. No seriously.
I don't know what this movie was trying to be. It felt very much like Frankenstein itself, pieced together from various plotlines that were in no way meant to be attached to each other.
Also, I don't know why they thought making making the Bride look like that scene in Ernest goes to Jail where he's eating the pen was a good idea.
From that review, it sounds like this belongs more on the strange dreams thread. Seems very trippy.

Off Topic Discussion / Re: World Cup?
Last post by Alex - Today at 12:34:50 AMThere were a lot of people in work yesterday singing the Footballs Coming Home song. I resisted the temptation this morning to change the lyrics to England's Coming Home. Based on their previous matches I did expect them to go out the first time they faced a big footballing nation and thought they'd been a bit lucky to get as far as they did, but fair play to them for getting there.
Looking forward to it all being over and there being something else in the news.

Off Topic Discussion / Re: strange dream depository
Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - July 15, 2026, 10:17:48 PMI had a dream a couple of days ago that Michael Keaton (the dude from the first Batman movie) was sitting comfortably in a chair somewhere and calling me a Drunk and saying a bunch of horrible things about me. And most of it was disgruntlement about Donald Trump. Like he was blaming me for the reason that Donald Trump has been in office for so long. Like he was making some kind of barking disgruntled case that my existence or me being alive is affecting reality and it is the reason why Donald Trump is still president.
So yeah. I came back at Michael Keaton and called him a liar. And I said how chic and disingenuous of you to say that, coming from someone in hollywood who promotes homosexuality and transgender and a deadening of consciousness and morals and pro communist ideals. He basically stared me down like you would see in some Old West gunfighter duel.
It was crazy. I woke up from that dream and I was like Woah..I thought I liked Michael Keaton, but now I am pretty sure that he is the devil. I haven't seen one of his movies in a long time. I think the last one I saw was something about him being the owner or founder of Mcdonalds. I don't know what it is called. All of that stuff I said in the dream though, about homosexuals and transgender and filth and porn and stuff, I don't know if any of that is true about his films. At least from the ones that I have seen. But I was kind of associating him with all of hollywood though.
Oh well.
Oh by the way. Hi I am new to the forum! Thanks. Oh also. This picture (I think it is from Birdman) kind of has a Dirty Harry look to it. To me. Like Go Ahead make my day. And just recently, like the day after the dream my aunt texted me and said that she was Watching Dirty Harry. And then the day after that I looked on the internet and saw a picture of Senator Mitch McConnell in a hospital bed but wearing normal clothes and dressed really eerily similar to how I saw Michael Keaton in that dream. Coincidence?
