Popular movies you hate......

I'm with Menard as far as Titanic is concerned--1953 version with Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck is shorter and far more entertaining, for me at least.
Ditto anything with Tom Cruise.

I hadn't even heard about any hockey game. There's been so much stupidity surrounding the federal election up here, with the ruling party (hopefully gone today) saying a lot of stupid things to look like patriots (by some definition I don't understand), I assumed that's what you meant.

Nope--I've been to Canada before and while the mountie border patrol treated us like trash for being American citizens the rest of the folks in Canada we met were really decent and I've always just figured that a cop is a cop regardless of the country they are in an 9 times outta ten cops are jerks. But what I was referring to was a series of Hockey games that took place. I cannot remember exactly what type of Hockey game it was be it Olympic or College or whatnot but the Canadian fans and the players on the team shouted U.S.A. sucks! through the whole game--this wouldn't have been a big deal except that the U.S.A. was the only one they targeted. When the U.S. went up against Russia in the same series, several canadian fans went in just to shout "U.S.A. sucks!" . What has started this I don't know--I don't even like Hockey--hell aside from the Superbowl I hate sports with a passion--and the only real reason I like to watch the Superbowl are the hilarious ad's that come out usually during that time--the closest thing I LOVE with all my heart to a sport is Pro-Wrestling. lol

Yeah, hockey fans in general can be pretty bad. There's a certain portion of fans at all levels who are going to find some way to make the players, officials and other spectators miserable. Sadly, it seems to be getting worse. You would be amazed at the things minor hockey fans will yell at teams from a town just a short drive away. Crazy.

I don't know if this qualifies for "popular" but it was supposed to be a bigger release horror movie.....Venom. Time I'll never recover. So boring.......I was begging the TV to kill someone. Anyone. When they finally starting dying, it wasn't even worth the wait.

I actually liked Venom, provided there is not another film of which you are speaking. The one I saw starred Klaus Kinski, Nicole Williamson, and Oliver Reed. There is a particularly painful scene for guys which involves a Black Mamba and Oliver Reed's pants leg. I did have the advantage, though, of having seen it when it came out at the theatre. It may well not be as effective on the small screen.

I hated Sleepless in Seattle.

And I really disliked The Phantom Menace. (That'll get me flamed for sure, I bet.. :)

I thought it was agreed upon that nobody was suppose to give Andy an opportunity to mention his ass. Now we'll be talking about his ass for the rest of the week.

odinn7 · January 25, 2006, 06:41:16 PM

...or, I could completely re-direct the talk about AndyC's ass by mentioning....
....
....

Gigli....

Menard · January 25, 2006, 06:57:00 PM

Danged. What a choice; Andy's ass or Gigli.

dean · January 25, 2006, 07:40:00 PM

Did somebody mention something???

Menard · January 25, 2006, 08:01:47 PM

No, you were dreaming; go back to sleep.
