FTOF Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 IMO most films struggle to rise above mediocrity and , without the aid of aforementioned recreational additives , most films I've watched fade from memory very quickly or really aren't worth discussing after the event. One film I remember several people telling me that I "must see" was Donnie Darko. I watched it and thought it was an unmitigated pile of pish. Having said that, there are a few "worst ever" films mentioned so far, that I've enjoyed. So, each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2becks Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Vanilla Sky. If I had handed this script in as English assignment in school it would have been a straight fail. Anything that ends with it all having been a dream is waste of everyone's time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Dickson Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Little Shop Of Horrors - not the only movie I'e ever walked out on but certainly the only one I left after just 20 minutes. Cloud Atlas - I had free tickets for this one from Sky and went along quite excited. Hanks and Berry got to be good huh? Nope. It took me the first hour just to figure out that the post apocalyptic world that a quarter of the movie took place in was that and it wasn't prehistoric. A complete load of shit. Pretty In Pink - The most effective sleeping pill I've ever used. Any of the Star Wars movies - I have watched all 6....well bits of them anyway. I even went to the large scale Disney premier of The Phantom Menace in Orlando at midnight on the day it came out. It was in a huge cinema hall with 2 or 3 tiers of seats. We were near the front - two rows behind where the boy that was playing Anakin was sitting and someone in a really musty smelling Chewbacca costume sitting next to me on my right. I fell asleep half way through the borefest only to be woken up by the sound of lightsabres and some onscreen fight. I turned to my right where people were stood up also duelling with their lightsabres, and I turned to see loads of folk doing the same in the rows behind and in the upper tier. f**king weirdos.

beyond our ken Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Watched "Pompeii" a couple if weeks ago. How they managed to make it so boring, given the subject matter they had to work with, is totally mystifying. Frankie howerd looked great in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaside Nipper Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Bad Lieutenant, starred Harvey Keitel. How the f**k Scorcese rated this as something good I'like never know. OMG. Well as I recall, it went something like this........ Cop, investigates a murder scene, a nun gets raped , the cop takes a drink, has a bet, loses, takes some drugs, has a bet , loses more, has a bigger bet, takes more drugs, stops two ladies in a car, has a wank while watching them canoodling, , takes another drink, well why not eh, shoots his car radio, has a drug fuelled threesome, as you would, then he goes to church , greets, has a bet, ffs he wins some money, gives it to rapists, sits in his car, someone tops him........wow ! Man, that helped unburden some old baggage ! Phew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieinEK Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) 2003 Meg Ryan and Mark Ruffalo in a low budget porn film disguised as a thriller. It was awful. Meg trying to be all growed up... Starts with a blow job and that was the climax! One of the very few films I have turned off before the end. ETA.. It was called In The Cut.

I have tried to watch this on numerous occasions, I have yet to make anywhere near the end before falling asleep. The Deerhunter. Thought the introduction would never end.

Drew Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Boyhood Who can justify a film about a twat who gets to adulthood with sod all of interest happening in his life I think this might be the film I referred to earlier. Filmed over a decade or so? The film itself seemed to last a f**king decade. Brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Little Shop Of Horrors - not the only movie I'e ever walked out on but certainly the only one I left after just 20 minutes. Genuinely amazed by this - what part of rock musical comedy horror had you missed prior to going that made you decide to leave after 20 minutes? Cloud Atlas - I had free tickets for this one from Sky and went along quite excited. Hanks and Berry got to be good huh? Nope. It took me the first hour just to figure out that the post apocalyptic world that a quarter of the movie took place in was that and it wasn't prehistoric. A complete load of shit. Certainly one y'either love or hate. One of my favourite novels I thought it was a brilliant movie, you're often disappointed at movie adaptations of books you like but I certainly wasn't in this instance. I would have structured the movie differently, like it was in the novel, it's a complex plot, about redemption of the soul, a theme that's been explored before by sci-fi authors with Buddhist/Eastern leanings, notably Michael Moorcock - 10/10 for me! Bit of trivia - I often drive past the street in Glasgow where Hugo Weaving shunts Halle Berry in the fillum.

The way I remember Little Shop Of Horrors was that the trailers missed out any singing and just focused on dialogue between Moranis and the plant. It genuinely hadn't clicked with me that this was going to involve having to listen to poor quality songs sung very badly by a vaguely comedic actor. 20 minutes in was something like track 3 or 4. I was amazed I gave it that long and as I remember it we weren't the first ones or the only ones leaving the cinema. As for Cloud Atlas I understood the plot. I certainly got it by the time we were into the third hour. I just thought it was pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vambo57 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas is the only time I have walked out during a film. It Follows was also a dreadful film from last year that Incredibly is getting lauded as a cult masterpiece. Great film, I like Tim Burton stuff. All Musicals are pish apart from The Sound of Music and Jungle Book. I like Musicals, generally. Les Miserables was great. Brilliant songs. Is the Jungle Book a musical? Anyway, one of the funniest experiences I've ever had is watching it whilst stoned (that, and the Roadrunner cartoons). That was obviously a long time ago. Obviously.... Done that with Blazing Saddles. The Renfrew Park's squad at The Kelburne, in that tiny wee screen they had. VERY funny at the time... then the film came on! Of fur fuks sake... scenes Edited January 27, 2016 by Vambo57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
religion is saints Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 You have just confirmed you are a wind up merchant.indeed I am not on this one, found it a very boring film. As I said because of cast people jump on how great it was, was very slow and boring. Not my kind of film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
