I enjoyed Paris, je t'aime but in general those random-people's-lives-intersecting movies are something I avoid like the plague. Would that I had kept that in mind when buying my ticket for Valentine's Day...
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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.

Our wings are not tired.
JZ pretty much just described how I felt about those same movies.

Eternal Sunshine freaked me out...I think disability made me look at that concept in a way not intended by the filmmakers. Most hated flick? Probably Garden State

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I've been shy of watching Boogie Nights because I'm really easily embarrassed for other actors and I was worried the porn-world setting would make it too watch from the hall for me, but now you're getting me all interested. I have a terrible weakness for prodigal son stories.
I love sharing a brain with javachik!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I didn't like Magnolia either! It's really a shame because that movie has one of the best introductions I have ever seen.
I'm going to confess a movie I didn't like that most people seem to:
Short Cuts. I did not care for that movie at all.

I fell asleep many times trying to watch Magnolia. Much like my experience falling asleep many times trying to watch My Own Private Idaho, Memento, and Mulholland Drive, it was very confusing.
I watched Lost and Translation, and I think I liked it, but I tend to get it confused with Shopgirl, which I only read. Not sure why.
I LOVED Marie Antoinette, though. It was absolutely beautiful and scrumptious.

While I'm hating, I must also mention my loathing of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I think there's just a genre of emotive movie I plain don't get.
Vile movie, that one. Shudder.

There are a handful of others, but that's my go-to hate. I still want my three hours back.
