Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

OK, now you are just baiting us!

How can you doubt the sincerity of my hatred for The Goonies?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Wow, that had a lot of typos. Because I was blind with Goonies induced rage.

Hating The Goonies means you lack a soul.

I know you have a soul, therefore, you must not hate The Goonies with that much passion.

My worst theatre going experience (not counting Hellraiser IV, which I pretty much watched through my fingers) was Cape Fear (the remake). I thought it sucked, and hated myself for my sheeplike tendencies as a high school student (I am pretty sure I drove)

To the contrary, it wounded my very soul with its craptapulence.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My low-water mark for Bad Movies was, for many many MANY years, Rhinestone, the movie in which Sylvester Stallone SANG. Country music. With Dolly Parton.

My bad-movie assessment was always, "Well, it was bad, but not as bad as Rhinestone."

Only Magnolia managed to unseat Rhinestone, and I now use Magnolia as the Bad Movie Comparator against which all other movies are measured.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Though I have not seen it, my parents' Bad Movie Comparator has always been Delta Force.

Mine is Eye of the Beholder. God, not even Ewan McGregor could save that dreck.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was pretty darned awful. Hard to make sense of what was on the screen, indulging in all the worst of the 40s serials cliches without even having the skill to make it satirical, and an ending where I'm not really sure what happened.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was pretty darned awful.

A full 72.3% of the awful was Gwyneth Paltrow, though.

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

I loved Sky Captain!

And Magnolia.

I enjoyed The Goonies.

I'm not sure I have a particular Bad Movie Comparator, but my Most Hated Movie may be The Thin Red Line.
