Jesus Christ! What's with all the guests on this thread?


Look at the dates of the posts. 

I'd vote for GOOD WILL HUNTING.

I don't hate THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION but I do think it has to be the most overrated picture in history.

I thought it was new seeing that I made a thread on the opposite. I didn't look at the date. Looks like someone brought a fossil back to life. 2003, holy crap... I was still little.

Look at how old the postings are...

Never got into "Jurassic Park," sorry, I'm not that much into the dinosaurs. I hate those tragic Oscar-worthy films that use the same 10 over-rated actors over and over again like "Titanic." I just don't care! Decaprio annoys me. I hate anything with Brad Pitt in it! That guy may not be the worst actor in the world, but his is without a doubt the worst actor that ever recieved such high praise. I'm one of about three people in the world that hated "Inglorious Bastards." I put aside the fact that Brad was in it, and tried to just enjoy it as a movie but I just couldn't. I hate to see a movie that's trying so hard to look important. That whole movie was just a big gaping vagina with a tattoo over it that said "Insert Oscar Here!" Hollywood is the ultimate high school. The cool kids are picked by the powers that be and you don't mess with them. Directors don't have much freedom because they are afraid of the powerful actors they cast. Kevin Smith told a story about being afraid of Bruce Willis that made me want to vomit! F--k Bruce Willis. I'd fire his ass and tell Hollywood to f--k off if I got blacklisted! I'd rather make independent films than to have to s--k some a--hole stars d--k!

Based on my experience in another thread, BEVERLY HILLS COP, FOOTLOOSE, POLICE ACADEMY...

The Lord of the Rings triology and The Wizard of Oz.
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite

Citizen Kane, I just hate how the result of the construction of it came out.

We have a lot of these threads, that even go back pretty far.

Blade Runner: Hate isn't the right word though.  I just don't get it.  I get why everyone loves the special effects, but just don't see why its so beloved.  The acting is forgettable, scenes seem to go on, there was a plot hole or two, some characters don't seem to have much purpose even though it seems like they should, and the story was just not interesting.  Some say if you watch it more, you get, but if you don't interest me enough the first time around to see it again, then the movie failed in some way to make me care about it.

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

Kill Bill Volume 2: I just hate how Uma THurman's character goes from a psycho kickass woman to wanting to play mommy. It kills it for me.

You kids eh?  :lookingup:

Give the novel (Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?) a read, then maybe give it another go in a few years. It's a film with a dreamlike quality, neo-noir means it has modern elements and ideas not present in early 40s-60s noir (crime dramas) movies, with a dark leaning. It's simply a snap-shot of a distant future world, where nobody is quite sure of their place or even their own reality. I'll agree that the story takes a back seat to the visuals, but a complex and interesting universe was created that has given rise to many debates years after Blade Runner hit the cinemas. I think with you young dudes, it just comes down to taste, it's not your taste, it's not that pacy, unlikeable characters - fine. But it's worth high praise IMO, and that's just off the back of Rutger Hauer's performance alone, plus it is still the most visually stunning piece of film I have ever seen. I just don't see it as intelligent to say you hate something when you admit you don't even understand it and can't explain why...

B-movie/horror fans tend to like Friday the 13th movies, but I've never been able to get into a single one of them.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org
