Really wish I'd split my post into two at the six month point. Scrolling through it all is a nightmare at work.

I miss Count Binface. 

Me too. Some of his policies weren't actually bad.

It's big Bigfoot... and a variably-sized one!  Sometimes it's Gigantopithecus-sized (12 feet or so), sometimes it's King Kong-sized... which only adds to my amusement, personally.

Considering whether or not to back the latest Amicus production on Kickstarter. Think this is their third or fourth movie since they resurrected the studio.

L'INHUMAINE {THE INHUMAN WOMAN} (1924):
 The fact that the diva mostly comes off as a drag queen alternately impersonating Meryl Streep, Bette Midler, or Shirley MacLaine might constitute a "bug" in other movies, but somehow in this one it's basically a "feature". 

Would it surprise you to learn she got the role because she paid for half the production? Cool movie, at any rate.

INVICTUS: made me cringe with its Hollywoodized version of the events leading up to, during and after the 1995 Rugby World Cup tournament. It made a nonsense of the post apartheid social cohesion success which was that tournament.

You've been hating Invictus for 16 years (!) on this very forum. Congrats?

I actually walked out and requested a refund (and I wasn't the only person who did that).

INVICTUS has so many historical errors it's almost embarrassing to watch

Unfortunately, Clint Eastwood allowed many inaccuracies to slip into the film

When Sean Michael mentioned INVICTUS - which I assisted on in pre production - I went 'yikes' and 'Oy'.

When I watched it in a cinema here, most of the audience got up and left because of the inaccuracies

I think I am totally on my own when I say that I dislike The Shining, District 9 and Invictus

Re: What MOVIES do you HATE that EVERYBODY ELSE LIKES ?? - Invictus and District 9

Invictus (well made but horribly inaccurate)

Reminds me of what I heard some very upset people say during a walkout of an INVICTUS screening

I will never forget assisting in pre-production research on INVICTUS: not my finest hour, unfortunately.

I also assisted in pre-production on the Clint Eastwood film Invictus which was riddled with errors

Me being forced to watch the horror that is INVICTUS.

I have three sports movies that got almost everything wrong factually:

1. INVICTUS (rugby)

I was watching a DVD of a documentary made in answer to the inaccurate horror that was Clint Eastwood's Invictus 

I hope after seeing it to be able to forgive him for the inaccurate horror which was Invictus.

Invictus (not a bad movie at face value: just horribly inaccurate)

I keep quiet about films like THE SHINING, RUSH, DISTRICT 9 and INVICTUS

I remember saying that the movie Invictus was full of inaccuracies

That's a bit like Clint Eastwood's Invictus: talk about historical flaws!!

Invictus: although well intentioned, this film is a largely inaccurate

I never saw the ending of this movie as most of the audience I saw it with got up and left at this point.

On the other side of the spectrum, Clint Eastwood's Invictus was laughably inaccurate.

INVICTUS has so many historical errors it's almost embarrassing to watch

I walked out of District 9, Invictus

I was showing how inaccurate the movie Invictus was

Another one is Clint Eastwood's INVICTUS: huge acclaim for a film which is a blatant and wholly inaccurate

I couldn't believe that the IMO inaccurate crapfest known as Invictus was nominated for two Oscars.

I walked out of INVICTUS with almost half the audience who were moaning about historical inaccuracies.

I assisted in pre-production on Invictus (horribly inaccurate movie)
