the only part I really dug was the last moments of SpyDaddy.

Have we ever had a 0%?
Usually, movies with scores that low will rise to about 5% once all the reviews are in, but 2% may be the lowest I've ever seen, too.

It's nice to read that some of you guys liked Titanic, because often when I happen to mention to someone that it's one of my favorite movies, I suddenly get treated like a special needs child. It's the same reaction you get from certain people if you tell them that you like Soap Operas.

Hey. New board.
That is a very low tomato-meter, but the Metacritic score isn't really all that terrible, compared to movies like The Adventures of Pluto Nash and The Master of Disguise, at least. Which means that very few people like it, but those that don't like it don't actually hate it enough to rate it 0 stars very often.

Or when you admit that you think N'Sync had some catchy songs.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Now see, I love soap operas. They are so operatic! But soap operas are to real life crimes and divorces as fun disaster movies are to real-life disaster movies. (Good SAT training, right?)
Like, I am all for fictional histrionic suffering. Watch them fluff their big hair and put on gowns and have affairs with himboes and suffer! It is like crack! But real suffering, I have different rules for.

It's about the same reaction I get when I try and defend my giddy delight in movies like Queen of the Damned and Phantom of the Opera.
Oooh, I should flee the house this weekend and go see PotO again.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Victor Garber utterly rocks in Titanic, and his last moments are... argh, guh and gah. Now I have to crawl under my desk and be very quietly sad for an undetermined length of time. And I am a helpless Kate Winslet fangurl, so despite the awfulness of the script, there's only so much dislike I can sustain for a movie that has her in practically every frame, especially in one sumptuous costume after another.
The good dialogue's bitch and artistic integrity snob in me want to hate it, but then the fangurl squees "KATE! KATE! IN A RED GOWN WITH JET BEADS AND A BIT OF A TRAIN! And Victor Garber! And Kathy Bates! KATE IN A TEA GOWN! KATE IN A TRAVELLING SUIT! KATE IN A HAT!" and the bitch and the snob throw up their hands and sigh.

She really loves Kate Winslet.

I loved Titanic the first time I saw it (in theatres), but repeated viewings (people kept renting it!) gradually rendered most of the first two hours unwatchable. I still have no real desire ever to see it again.
(And as much as I love and worship Kate Winslet, her accent in Titanic drove me batty.)
