Anya ,'Touched'
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.
You have no magic in your soul. You are magicless. You have undergone a magicectomy.
I think you have mistaken CRAP for MAGIC. This could fixed with a big bowl of raisin bran and a vente latte.
Hec, Chunk is going to eat you in your sleep.
I do not fear his chunky ass. In fact, I welcome the opportunity to redirect his teeth toward the back of his fat little throat.
Tied at the top of my list of Worst Movies are Ishtar and Howard the Duck.
If nothing else, The Goonies gave every parody recapper on the internet the opportunity to give Samwise Gamgee the line "But down here, it's our time."

I can poop magic? For real? How cool would THAT be?!?

Howard the Duck wasn't that bad. I remember liking it. There was a talking duck and Lea Thompson and Jeffrey Jones.
Another sucktastic movie was John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars. Although I did like the music.
However, the script did follow the well-constructed script format to a T.
I think that's the problem. The ending, especially, struck me as a terrible, silly parody of what happens in the first chapters of the Aeneid. It was exactly what a script is supposed to do: tie up loose ends. Which was exactly what the cycle about Troy didn't do. The motivations behind an epic cycle and a screenplay are so different that reconciling the two -- especially if the screenplay is meant to describe the entire multi-epic, multi-culture cycle -- is night unto impossible.
Kostner talked about a few scenes that were shot, but cut, that would have changed the mood of the movie.
Do you remember what they were like, lexine?

Ask Cyrus Vail.

As the first two had a love scene together, I don't think your defense of the movie is all that effective.

And, oddly enough, Tim Robbins - possibly his first big role.

Would it have been better or worse if the film had been done ala Roger Rabbit instead of a midget in a fucking duck suit? Mostly a speculative question, as I always thought the movie might have worked if they'd gone that route instead. Although I don't know if that would have improved the dumb action movie plot the movie gravitated towards.
