The first X-Files movie.ETA: That wasn't only awful cause I was disappointed; I talked my family into going and afterward they busted my chops. "Hey, I didn't write it," I said. Though if I had, I suppose I'd deserve a gig at Del Taco.
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.
Are you an X Files TV fan, erika? I can't imagine many non-Philes liking the movie.
So what are your least favorite movie viewing experience ever?
Phrased like that, I immediately think of Gothika. Not only was the movie bad, but the audience was extremely annoying and irritating with their reactions.
The Thin Red Line bored the crap out of me. There are various other movies I've thought were bad, like The Haunted Mansion, Men in Black II, Big Momma's House, and...I know there are others. But sometimes the viewing experiences are okay anyway.
The first X-Files movie.
I really liked the first one, but the second one was bad and pointless.
Bad Boys II-lacked the charm of the first one and we sat behind a woman who'd brought a little kid--NOT the place for a five-year-old.
I was, but more casually than some people here. I was hoping to introduce the fam to the show, I think. It didn't work...the ride home was like a referendum on my taste. Not fun.
Yeah, the X Files movie would be a lousy entré to the franchise. It was very mythology bound and didn't take that much advantage of the big screen.
I kinda enjoyed Bad Boys II because the action pieces were fun. And Will Smith was still hot. But it was nowhere near the ride of the original.
So what are your least favorite movie viewing experience ever?
This just happened to me -- maybe not the least favorite, but least favorite in memory. Bob, MiL and I went to A Serious Man. I'm not saying it's a terrible movie, but it's, you know, the story of Job with obnoxious people. Another Coen Bros movie with more formalist exactitude than living characters. No fun. UNLESS you are the group of middle-aged white men in the back of the theatre who brayed loudly at every scene. Apparently when you see things that happened in your childhood on screen, it never stops being hilarious. They were the most obnoxious moviegoers in my memory.
here's a question: how many of those top 10 movies have y'all seen?
I saw Grindhouse at an honest-to-God drive-in, tuning my car radio to the proper station to get audio. It was great!
I walked out of Sunshine (hated the lengthy spacewalk scenes that managed to be both claustrophobic and agoraphobic) and Out Cold (I could tell how awful it was before the opening credits finished, and cut my losses). But of the movies I've stayed and watched, Stigmata and The Cider House Rules were the least entertaining.
Seeing both an Ideal Husband and Whale Rider were both tainted by talky people who talked. Seeing Titanic was pretty grim.
I probably ruined a few movies myself going with my friend, the Loud Inappropriate Laugher. There were times when I laughed with her, but there were times when she was too much, even for me.
Oh I forgot Crash (the Cronenberg one). I went with a friend who I was going through a bit of a rough patch with. I could feel both our moods sinking lower and lower as the movie got worse.
