And my only point at chiming in on the subject was that Alibelle is not the only person I'd heard that from, so it's not just crazy Alibelle spouting her usual crazy craziness.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Wait. Did this become the Angel Quotables thread? I could've sworn it was movies...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Exactly, and you don't like Groundhog Day. We've been over this, crazyhead. Did you forget to take your pills again?

Any thread is a good thread for picking on Alibelle.

I see how this is.
Groundhog Day is Highlander: Endgame bad.
Groundhog Day is The Neverending Story bad. (And those two are surprisingly similar in premise. Interesting.)
Groundhog Day is Wrestling with Earnest Hemingway bad.
Oh! You know what else is bad? Shaun of the Dead.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Plus it leads to absolute crap like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen sharing a title with the Alan Moore book.
And the third installment of Anne of Green Gables.
My BAD MOVIE is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Only movie I have EVER wanted to walk out on.

I think I've mentioned here my utter loathing of Magnolia. How it's become my comparator bad movie. ("It was bad, but not Magnolia bad.")Steph, you made my day. I can never find people who share my loathing of this film. It seems everyone and his brother worships at the altar of Paul Thomas Anderson, even though he hasn't done a single thing that impressed me other than decent visuals. The only nice thing I can say about Magnolia is that it had the best delivery of terrible dialogue I've ever seen.

Well, I often refer to Groundhog Day as the neverending story. I've seen it three times, and it was excruciating. Just the same thing, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again, etc. I mean, I got that he learned, and blah blah blah, but good grief, I so did not need to go through it that many times.

I also hated Magnolia, though I will agree about the delivery of horrible dialogue. I also liked the prologue with the unlikely connected events. The three hours that followed, however, were simply horrible, good delivery notwithstanding.
