*in mocking tone* Donnie Darko sucks, watch it. That cute chick (Jena Malone) from Saved is in this film.

if anyone said Big Trouble in Little CHina, i'll hit em !

Now see, I thought we were mostly on the same page until now. ;) I guess it is kinda hard to find someone with the EXACT same tastes as you. But we have been very close until this one.

I dunno, man. He was rummaging around the garbage cans outside my house again and happened to mention your name.
But then I gave him the rest of my breakfast burrito and he was happier than a pig in shit.

And speaking of pigs in shit, one day I want to start a "Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot!" Fan Club. I know there are fans out there!
Somewhere. Someday.

Turds of a feather....

God himself made Big T in little C and nobody on the face of this earth is stupid enough to hate Jack Burton.

The Raiden in Big Trouble in Little China can kick the crap outta the poser in Mortal Combat's.

as amusing as the contrived banter was, I just couldn't accept the stupid stupid idea that a lesbian would go straight for Ben Affleck. The film either showed a complete non-understanding of sexual orientation or else it was trying to suggest that their love was powerful enough to overcome the whole 'gay' thing... which it failed to do. Alot of the conversations were really awful. I hated Jay and Bob Strike Back too... totally unfunny (to me).

you would be hard-pressed to find two people who agreed on every single movie. I'm happy to find someone whose tastes are remotely similar to mine. :)

which movie is this again? I forgot. Rushmore? Donnie Darko? I think it was one of those, right? I didn't like Darko at all and don't understand the praise really unless it hit people on some spiritual or religious level that escapes me and my athiest going-to-hell self.

Agreed. It is nice. But on the CA thing, she was bi, so that makes going for Ben somewhat believable. It had just been a while since she had a guy.

You are NOT a Peter Jackson fan if you didn't like Braindead(its REAL title, not the crappy American 'Dead Alive' rebrandishing). I bet you just say that based on the Lord Of The Rings, well I've personally gotta say that I have all his movies (Bad Taste, Meet The Feebles, Braindead, Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners, Forgotten Silver and all 3 LOTR plus extended editions) and that the stuff he made before LOTR gets more rotation in my DVD player.
Getting back to the topic, overrated definitely: Harold & Maude, Mallrats, Rushmore, Night Of The Demons

Thanks for telling us who are fans and who are not.

It was Donnie Darko. I don't know how anyone could find that spiritual. Me my catholic-going-to-heaven self hates that movie.

:lol: I was thinking the exact same thing.

A friend recommended this to me months ago, and I sort of just blew off his suggestion. But now that every other person in this thread mentions it, and it appeared as the subject of a recent article in Entertainment Weekly, I can no longer ignore this movie either.

If anyone needs a copy, I'll sell you it for $7 shipped.

Easy Rider is the most overrated movie ever.

Donnie Darko is a kind of "faux intellectual" hodgepodge - not a terrible movie, but certainly not a successful movie either - it just fools people into thinking it's "deep" by being weird.

Dead Alive, I must defend, however. Hilariously creative. Just make sure you don't accidentally watch "The rated version" - this version is out there in many incarnations, and it destroys the movie - by cutting out lots of the best bits in the film. It's the first version I saw, and I didn't think much of the film until I saw the actual, uncut version.

If it says "Rated Version" or "Rated R" anywhere on the tape/disc - then avoid it like the plague - only watch it uncut.

We get it Ryo, you hate the movie. This is only your fourth post saying as much in this thread alone. Time to move on.

My post was in response to Trigger's question.

I ordered it from bestbuy.com for $6.66 shipped.

<i> NO :crap: !</i>

-rolleyes-

The Landmark Theaters in my area are now running midnight shows. And on it's current list is, and I quote, "Teens track treasure in the cult favorite 'The Goonies' " Certainly never would have considered that a cult movie. Nor did I ever expect to see it pop up at a midnight show. Kind of cool actually. Not to derail the thread, but are they still planning a sequel?

How bout that Hervé Villechaize film, the 1980: Forbidden Zone - now that looks like one mind-**** of a film.

O.K., Hervé Villechaize alone is a mind-**** ;)
