i liked it though because one of the characters was named sherlock holmes and that is all i need

I watched this a lot as a kid, but I assume it is terrible:

Man did I hate this Barbara Kopple sell-out doc called "My Generation," about the links between the original Woodstock and the shit 1994 and 1999 festivals. I saw it premiered at the Toronto Film Fest, and I asked her how she could possibly make this movie and include no mention of the numerous rape accusations that followed the latter fest, and she sort of shrugged off the question, though it was clear before that that the movie was a puff-piece whose POV was connected to the participation of Woodstock's equally sell-out boomer corporate overseers.

@josh in chicago: actually you'll see two people have said airplane was one of the worst film they saw. I'm one of them and that movie really did not make me laugh a single time. It truly felt like a total waste of however much time the movie lasts.

The Box is a worthy contender for worst big budgeter actually

The Box is decent if you watch it with the sound muted.

I'm told it's not so bad with the TV off or, preferably, broken.

Votes for Airplane and I <3 Huckabees make me sad.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 5 February 2013 04:35 (eleven years ago) link
i loved Huckabees when it came out, but i caught it on tv recently and it didn't hold up too well. mark wahlberg still pretty good in it though.
― ryan, Tuesday, 5 February 2013 04:40 (eleven years ago) link
i loved huckabees when it came out and caught it on tv recently and loved it just as much
― #guy #guy fieri #poop #hallway (zachlyon), Tuesday, 5 February 2013 05:00 (eleven years ago) link
not sure if i'd have loved it if i hadn't seen it when it came out first though
yeah it may be a highly personal thing. somehow it felt pretty smug to me this time. didn't help that i had just seen silver linings playbook.

I<3H is a thing I really like but I can see it annoying people who know a lot more than I do about existentialism
― Women, Fire, and Dangerous Zings (silby), Tuesday, 5 February 2013 05:34 (eleven years ago) link
oh it's not so much the content--more like the hectoring tone. it's a movie that makes a big show of being humble and "searching" when it doesn't really come across that way to me anymore. like someone who just entered therapy and thinks they're cured already.
― ryan, Tuesday, 5 February 2013 05:40 (eleven years ago) link
but entirely possible i see too much of my younger self in there and need some distance and age to appreciate it again.
― ryan, Tuesday, 5 February 2013 05:41 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i can mostly see it annoying people who look at russell's writing and see it as him taking the whole idea of existentialism very seriously and/or trying to come off as smart about it
but his characters are so simplistic about it and every line exists for laffs, for me it's always a question of whether russell pities the characters, rolls his eyes at them or both
― #guy #guy fieri #poop #hallway (zachlyon), Tuesday, 5 February 2013 05:49 (eleven years ago) link
like there are points where schwarzman is a huge asshole and i like to think that the script is aware of them, and if i didn't have that optimism i wouldn't like it as much
― #guy #guy fieri #poop #hallway (zachlyon), Tuesday, 5 February 2013 05:50 (eleven years ago) link
That's a good read on it, and maybe a level i missed entirely

I'm surprised by all the huckabees love. I felt the same about huckabees as I did garden state.
― © all the feelings (Austerity Ponies), Tuesday, 5 February 2013 17:26 (eleven years ago) link
I remember spending all of Huckabees waiting for it to get good.
― Public Brooding Closet (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 5 February 2013 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
i haven't seen huckabees in years but i like the tone it's pitched at, everyone is frantic and yelling literally all the time and then jude law has a negative epiphany and pukes in his hand
that doesn't make it sound enjoyable but it feels to me like a much more accurate rendition of being bereft than garden state

like i get they are both Quirky and #whiteppl and kinda full of themselves but garden state is 100% bullshit and huckabees at least has real pain+panic

My man takeaway from huckabees was "huh, they got jude law to play jay mohr"
Ppl saying the box needs to be watched with the sound off are forgetting i) how entertaining terrible southern accents can be and ii) the excellent score. The only thing I'm really mad at richard kelly for is that keira knightley/mickey rourke action movie thing, that was fucking terrible.
