Buffy ,'Empty Places'
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.
But for all its flaws, it went HUGE, and I can forgive flaws when they're so bombastic and over the top.
Yes, this. I generally FF MR right after Tango de Roxanne up until the big final show scene (Hindi Sad Diamonds), because I cannot deal with Christian's issues (with possibly a stop for Show Must Go On, because I am a sucker for Queen). Up until then, though, I am All Over It. So pretty! So fabulous!
Here's Part One of my list of Worst Movies Ever:
That list is meaningless! It doesn't have either The Goonies or Funny Car Summer on it. (My two least favorite filmgoing experiences.)
Also, I like Memento, NBK (it's not supposed to be deep), and Moulin Rouge (it's not supposed to be deep. Dude, haven't you studied "the finish fetish"? Shiny surfaces.)
I missed Memento on the list, but I have to confess that I kept falling asleep every time I tried to watch it. And as the narrative is not very linear, that was not conducive to enjoying it.
Oh, no no no. Never dis The Goonies!!!
Strictly Ballroom is where my Baz love is at.
Goonies! ::sits with Steph::
The Goonies!?!?!?! How can anyone dislike The Goonies!?!??!?!
Oh, no no no. Never dis The Goonies!!!
Not only do I dis it, I pull off its head and shit down its neck.
Then I put it inside a turducken and deep fry it. When it's golden brown and crispy, I deface it with magic markers, mocking it in pidgin French and then I bury it in a box in a hole with an atomic powered iPod set to play Celine Dion in an endless loop.
OK, now you are just baiting us!
Well, I admire your over-the-top-ness of your dislike, in a Moulin Rouge way.
OK, now you are just baiting us!
How can you doubt the sincerity of my hatred for The Goonies?
