Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

I really like Jim Carrey.  The big teeth, the rubber face, the crazy antics.  And I don't mind him in serious roles either.  I saw Truman Show and thought it was okay.  But this one was bizarre.  Too many flashbacks and it was very disjointed.  I didn't like Kate Winslet's character either.  I just wanted to slap her.

When the movie was finally over, I understood it.  But when I watched it again the second time straight after, I still didn't like it.  Jim Carrey did good in the straight role, but the story itself was done very ham fistedly.  And as usual, Elijah Wood just creeped me out.
Elijah's creepy in everything.  Don't know what chicks see in him. 
"The path to Heaven runs through miles of clouded Hell."

Don't get too close, it's dark inside.

I don't know either, HappyGilmore.  I've never found him attractive.  And with those huge blue eyes of his, he reminds me of a praying mantis.  I could absolutely believe that he'd be psycho killer material like his character in Sin City.

Elijah's a big part of the reason I avoided Lord of the Rings, outside of the fact I just had little interest in it.  Dude's creepy.  Only 'good' movies of his I can say I liked were Back To The Future 2 and Forever Young.

I didn't know Elijah existed until Lord Of The Rings.  I thought he was really good in that part, but I love the franchise.

Then I saw him in Sin City and Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind where he's essentially the same character (creepy, weird, sick) but in Eternal, he's also a loser.

My big ones

Borat - I refuse to finish it, even if I was payed movie to watch it.  It was the first film that I truly turned off while watching an refuse to see it since then.

Kids and Bully I ended up not liking at all, but Kids was slightly better than Bully, but still awful.

Flesh Gordon was another one that I didn't like.  WAY too much nudity for my tastes and just bad acting.  I felt I was watching a porn movie instead of a regular movie.

wasn't that the point of the film???? i was never under any impression this was anything other than very softcore porn with a plot (i still watched it :teddyr:)

I though it cheesy and lame and I loved every minute of it   :thumbup:

Although, I still don't understand how people can get their gear off in front of random strangers.     :question:

"The Man With the Screaming Brain"-  what a disappointing and boring movie!  I expected it to be entertaining and fun to watch because I've liked other films starring Bruce Campbell, but this was a really awful (not in a good way) movie.  It was almost as painful to watch as a Troma flick.

I guess it would be the point of the film.  I don't enjoy softcare porn, so I guess that was part of it.

definetly thought  shoot em up with clive owen was going to be good but halfway through the movie it just got really stupid and i kinda didnt like it at all . it was a bit too over the top like it was trying to hard to make fun of the typical shoot em up movie i  really like paul g. and clive owen but this movie sucked  the big one

X Men 3.

Part 2 was such an improvement over the first that I was really excited for another progression.

I have yet to, and will NEVER pay a penny to see another Marvel movie till someone there apologizes.

Honestly, I didn't like x-men 2 that much but I thought 3 was amazing.  Oh well, you might want to go see Iron Man though, it looks good.
