OPO, so what was the worst film you ever saw?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NARjr3fMMvY

Absolute bollocks with no redeeming features whatsoever. It's not even bad in a good way, it's just pure unadulterated shite. If it wasn't for JB (in his worst role ever) it never would have seen the light of day. The script is so poor, I wouldn't even lower myself to wipe my arse on a copy of it.

nv are u having a stroke or a tantrum

Babel. Big pile of absolute worthless scum sucking pretentious codswallop of the highest order.

xp i bloody love me some Rom Coms too; Notting Hill type stuff that loadsa people think are garbage etc so it must have been REALLY fuckin bad.
i honestly thought that dance-down-the-street sequence was a pisstake.

little from column a, little from column b, little from column death to our friends

I really wanted to like this, but it was thoroughly disappointing. I picked it as a special-occasion night out and spent the rest of the evening regretting my decision.

Directors get overrated for various reasons. The most common ones are:

1) Political Orientation; when the director is a Marxist/left-winger and makes films of that nature (if he is politically active, as well, the chances of him/her being overrated soar)

2) Geography; when he is European (hence regarded as something special and "exotic" by American film-critics and nerdy film-buffy audiences)

3) Pretentious Baloney; when a director makes a lot of "allegorical" dramas; generally speaking, the number of dramas a film-maker creates is directly proportional to the chances that he gets overrated; sexual deviousness/perversion and bizarre/metaphysical imagery greatly help too in raising his status to ridiculous heights

Suffice it to recall recent trends in the visual arts: gone are the days of simple statues or framed paintings—what we see now are the frames themselves without paintings, dead cows and their excrement, videos of the inside of the human body (gastroscopy and colonoscopy), the inclusion of odors in the exhibition, and so on and so forth. Here, again, as in the domain of sexuality, perversion is no longer subversive: the shocking excesses are part of the system itself, what the system feeds on in order to reproduce itself. Perhaps this gives us one possible definition of postmodern art as opposed to modernist art: in postmodernism, the transgressive excess loses its shock value and is fully integrated into the established art market.

The movie I reviewed is overrated garbage. I wanted a Batman film, not the corny or realistic dull filler types. A Batman film that represents the character, the adventure from comics or a new one, and the fictional legend. It must be grim, dark, brutal, brooding, serious (not like TDK which is still better than TDKR), amazing, stylized not dull, action packed while not UFC-based like in TDKR, mysterious like Batman stories SHOUL BE, and fun. Fun, not boring.

Actually you guys need to see some p risible Aus films, I didnt even think to include those. Fat Pizza and the Craic come to mind. Fucking hell the Craic was shite.

Trayce, have you seen BMX Bandits?

Yeah, years ago. I dont recall it being dreadful, just kind of like a long kids TV show tbh. But I could be misremembering and confusing it with ... er well, there was a TV show of it, I think.

I’m going to say it…I think the Hangover is also overrated. Sure, I pissed my pants at least half a dozen times watching it…the first time. But, the second time I watched it…I laughed, but not nearly as hard as I did the first time. I’m looking forward to seeing Hangover 2. I’ll probably laugh, but I still hold that Spaceballs, Airplane, and Major League are better comedies because they stand the test of time.

lol

bmx bandits was cute.

ha I watched bmx bandits last year afrer not seeing it for years

fking bike chases go on a bit

uggh and Nilmar otm re Babel
bad bad bad

donnie darko is my #1

Now let’s get one thing straight. I’m a barbarian. I like things to be straightforward and have a clear meaning. Movies should have good and interesting plots – otherwise they’re pretentious crap. Those who praise “Artistic” movies that rely on “style” and “technical accomplishment” should, in my opinion keep their views to themselves. And for good reasons. There are a class of people (I’m sure you’ve met them) who need to feel superior, and when they’re told that such and such a thing is “classic”, will harp on about it even if it bores them to death – perhaps because it bores them to death.

yeah Donnie Darko.. jesus christ.

what we need are some stalin show trials for ppl who praise 'artistic' movies that rely on 'style' and 'technical accomplishment.' these are films that mock the ppl and those that praise them are upholding the old ways and feudalism

I was once told I’m far to much of a yuppie to really be able to appreciate great art and I have no business whatsoever going to films.

i only like to watch films that show a worker participating in the glorious labor under the sun, an honest day's work, he gives back to the people and takes what he needs, he does not follow the old ways, he sacrifices for the state, he is a man of honor who inspires us all

it'd be ace if you cd run a business based on going to films

i havent seen donnie darko & I celebrate my ignorance of it

i'd watch Garfield 2 for money

i mean i'd probably bunk off but it wdn't be any different to any other job

i like donnie darko fine it's the director's cut where they thought that what made people like it was all the stoner bullshit time-travel details AND WERE PROBABLY RIGHT that's atrocity-level

pls nb i am a stoner

DIRECTOR'S CUT

oh you're a stoner, maybe i was one too i'd also enjoy donnie darko

This isn't a film - it's a completely unwatchable ordeal. I've never had a root canal, but I'm pretty sure it would be preferable to Godard's pretentious naval-gazing.

yeah xp you should take a look at the weed politics thread don't be intimidated

i haven't smoked weed since the 90s and I thought Donnie Darko was entertaining

'Donnie Darko' is, quite simply, a masterpiece. Complex, inventive, gripping, strange, and in the end deeply moving, it has more ideas in it than Hollywood has produced in the entire last decade.

and a rabbit

ok guys you've convinced me i'm going to watch some lei feng biopics - the pinnacle of cinematic achievement

Women are like the film Donnie Darko. They convince you that you're not clever enough to understand them, but it turns out that they simply don't make any sense.

looool

xp especially them big bottom birds, eh m8?

Us men are assholes.

Seriously we are all assholes. look at the shit that we put girls through. labor, double standards, we always rape them. My buddy colin opened my eyes. He said to me "Ya know what makes me unhappy? When brothers make babies And leave a young mother ta be a pappy And since we all came from a woman Got our name from a woman And out game from a woman I wonder why we take from our women Why we rape our women Do we hate our women ? I think it's time ta kill for our women Time ta heal our women Be real to our women" He really got me thinking. Thanks colin for opening my eyes to a world that i never knew existed.

OTM. That Director's Cut was the worst.

Dr casino and al leong broadly otm

the only redeeming bit about Babel was it had a good soundtrack.

i will also add that the worst movie i ever saw in a theater was TRANSFORMERS and has completely turned me off any movie that has a bigger budget than Looper

i'd forgotten what a POS that last Terminator movie was
