What movie is most likely to get caught in your challopian tube?

I think both Velvet Goldmine and 5th Element fall into the strong minority following category - which is the nearest you're going to get to cult movie in the download era. I'm more interested in hearing about generally popular movies that you really hate.

xp max: - you only like cartoons?

only non-disney cartoons

made in the 90s

tbh anything that isn't an Eastern European animation from the early 60s is despicable.

Enjoy your "entertainment", sheeple.

many xposts - so we're talking like, 'Casablanca' hating challops then?

hurm. I may be out of my league..

this movie is actually about a sheeple, er, a sheeperson

I forgot Jeepers Creepers which is actually dece for 15 minutes but that just sets the audience up to be more devastated by the incredible ham-fisted cackathon that it turns into.

OMG yes, this! I caught the first 15 minutes one night before I had to go somewhere, and was kinda bummed I had to leave a pretty awesome set-up for a great horror movie. Boy was I pissed when I rented it a couple weeks later.

Would hating Lord of the Rings qualify?

Not really, half of the Tolkein fanbase has major probs with it.

Plus why should 10 hour film about goblins hitting each other over the head with axes be mainstream?

My problem was that they were boring; though I did have a nice nap during at least one of them.

Is it just me or does this thread title represent a new apex of ILX hyper-self-awareness?

I was raised on LOTR and Tolkien, and even so, found the final sequences of the last movie are amongst the most toe-curlingly awful things I've ever witnessed in a cinema.

But...but...

;_;

Pure Hobbit porn, grrl. And they cut Sir Chris for that shit.

I thought Wizard of Oz was ass from the moment it switched to technicolor/Apollo 13 is for babies and I hated it/Star Wars is the worst thing to ever happen to modern movie making/Wall*E was a pussy/Monty Python's Holy Grail is revisionist limey claptrap

Now I get what's wrong with Velvet Goldmine, not enough axe-wielding goblins.

The "Lord of Chaos" black metal movie will deliver Velvet Goblin with axe-wielding goblins.

Sorry Velvet Goldmine with axe-wielding goblins. Not a half-bad title, though.

With hobbit porn?

The Fifth Element's script was so clearly written by dude at age 15

its like an ideal version of what a 15 yr old would come up with

Velvet Goldmine was cute actor eyecandy with a solid soundtrack

Velvet Goblin needs to be a band, probably. I keep forgetting Lords of Chaos is coming. Hope there's a 3D verzh.

Velvet Goldmine was cute actor eyecandy with a solid soundtrack

Upon re-seeing it, I liked it better.

It made more sense after finding out about the problems with rights to Bowie songs.

Velvet Goldmine promised cute actor eyecandy, which was then uglified even by glam standards (impressive) and put in a shameful, pointless series of gaudy tableaux on par with Bogus in the wtf department.

Bogus is my most hated film fwiw.

the gaudy tableaux were kinda the point of the movie though.

did i just see a picture of mr snuffeluffergus?

It did have a good soundtrack I'll admit but it's fucking Roxy Music, can't really go wrong there even if it was Wing singing it.

Didn't think Velvet Goldmine was a very good movie, but I'm kind of glad it exists -- same with I'm Not There. I like that Haynes is trying to make interesting, serious movies about rock stardom, but he hasn't quite nailed it yet. It's a tough topic to do well.

which was then uglified even by glam standards (impressive)

The 70's weren't exactly the prettiest decade...

Why are we talking about a minority-interest art-house release?

xxp - Both were problematic, agreed.

That's what I'm saying: glam was fugly but that is some next-level fug on display in that film

Christian Bale in drag isn't exactly him at his best ...

and the fug you see is men that you know in any other circumstance wld be bonerland

I was at the UK premiere of Velvet Goldmine, and everybody hated it. This is not a challop.

lol bonerland

I went into that movie sure that it would be everything I'd ever wanted in a bowie-inspired romp...and I hated every breathing moment of it. maybe because the real thing looked better in books and blurry videos and hearsay than any 'imagining'.

I don't think it was all fug, though there definitely was some.

Velvet Goldmine is wonderful and I hate you all. The end.

i didn't like jeepers creepers or jeepers creepers 2 but then i found out the director was a pedophile and i signed a petition for him

I think my biggest initial problem was the faux bowie songs

I think Bale's shy Brummie shtick was kind of cute and MacGregor was kind of hilarious and Rhys-What's-his-name was an excellent peacock.

MacGregor had the least fugly costumes.

this isn't a challop at all, but John Carpenter's Vampires was so horrible I wanted to call him up and yell at him. it also informs my hatred of James Woods (which on its own may be a challop)

^^^ooh that movie was terrible.

I saw Jeepers Creepers II alone in a multiplex where they'd forgotten to turn the house lights off, with an audience of baying teenagers. Even considering that, it was what medics refer to as a brutal insult to the brain. I have no technical experience, but I am confident I could conceive, write and direct a better John Carpenter rip-off in six weeks, with what the catering budget must have cost.
