'Out Of Gas'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I do hate the carefree-woman-liberates-stuffy-man genre even more than the jilting one.
Jumpin' Jehosephat! Me too.
Drew Barrymore MUST sign a document in blood that she agrees never to play that role again. Ever.
I hate that genre with the same firey passion as the you've been abused so you have an excuse for being a serial killer, rapist, fill in the miscreant. Makes. My. Teeth. Itch.
Despite massive JohnC-love, Serendipity made me want to stick something sharp and hot in my eye.
Even the stellar "This one's climbin' the charts." line could not save it for me.
I have absolutely no recollection of the ending. I must have been banging my head on the seatback at the time.
eta: And I'm a maniac for Jeremy Piven. Cupid was my favorite tv show of all eternity. Even he could not save it for me.

My least favorite is Crazy Person Is Saner Than The Rest Of Us. (With the subsection of Magical Retarded Person ditto ditto ditto.)
I liked Serendipity -- I felt that the protagonists didn't go through with their weddings for reasons, although provocked by, eventually unrelated to each other.
Magical Retarded Person
See previous comments about Forrest Gump.
::insert strangling noise here::
Off to the 10 o'clock play group with the pooch. Night all!
Being There made me long for Peter Sellers to watch his own decapitation. Like that, bucko!

Which side did KPAX come down on?
Obviously my least favourites involve either magical non-whites or quaint non-American/Brits/whatever.
Ooh! Magical Ganja-Smoking Jamaicans for the trifecta!

Swap voodoo for magic, and you'll see me hit the roof. Wishing I was hitting Seagal instead.
Did he do that? Ooh, ick.
