Woody Allen's self indulgent,whiney p**sy pant's movies make me wanna tie him up to a chair,force feed him booze and tacos,and make him watch (CLOCKWORK ORANGE style) Shaw Bros. Kung Fu movies!

Burn After Reading. 

You know I usually like all the Coen films (even their more obscure ones like A SERIOUS MAN and THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE), but for some reason I just cannot get into or even finish this one.

Some day I should give it another shot . . . or not.

Don't like many Woody Allen movies either aside from SLEEPER.

SE7EN, though I liked some things and I like Fincher generally.
FORREST GUMP
LETHAL WEAPON, and the sequels are even worse.
RAMBO II
GOOD WILL HUNTING

I'm with you on Forrest Gump, kind of. I look at it like a "bad" movie, and so there's lot's to make fun of. But hey, even my hero Tom Hanks is allowed to make the occasional turkey.

I like Forrest Gump, but mainly for the laughs. Gump was one of the characters my friends and I used to do impressions of back when the movie was still a big deal.

Kevin Murphy, of MST3K, has on a couple of occasions described Forrest Gump as one of his most despised movies. He's called it "emotional pornography," said that it's designed to "milk tears from the audience like a cow" and that he could have somebody's hand up his a$$ and feel less manipulated. I remember reading a piece he wrote on The World's Fastest Indian, where he compared it to Forrest Gump as a similar story, but more honest and understated and genuine, if a bit corny, while Gump just keeps trying to push your buttons.

I'm not saying I don't like Forrest Gump, but it's to make fun of it's faults. There's so much cliche going on in that film for it to be good, that's from some of the primary characters all the way down to the bit parts. Just about every character was a bad caricature. I always laugh at how bad the moment is when that old woman at the bus stop says: "So....you just RAN?" The deliver of that line was sooooooo bad, and the movie is loaded with moments like that.

I usually can't stand Woody Allen, but I always had a soft spot for "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex, But Were Afraid to Ask." I can't hate any movie in which John Carradine creates a giant t!t that terrorizes the countryside. The whole control room bit was good too.

I like Allen's silly slapstick comedies like Everything you wanted to know... and Sleeper. But his ego stroking and mental masturbation movies I have a hard time sitting through.
