No! BAD Movie!

[naamah_darling]

Writers' barbecue tonight. I really, really, really wish that you all were here, because I always have a lot of fun when I get a little tipsy. Until I fall asleep in my husband's lap, only to wake up to a conversation about Star Wars slash fiction and naughty tentacles

Oooh, yes, La Femme Nikita eyecandy.

Today I watched Troy for the first time. I knew it was going to be bad, my f-list fully prepared me. I was watching it for the eye-candy.

However, even eye-candy can only do so much. The DVD crapped out and died on us around half an hour from the end, and I swear, I sighed in relief.

XD

We saw it in the THEATER.

Oh, my, that was fun.

I have a sliding scale of crapness, at the top there's The Two Towers, and the bottom there's Johnny English *shudder*. Anything within retching distance of Johnny English gets walked out on. I don't know if I'd have been able to get up and leave during Troy, it was a close thing. I've suffered through some really dire films because walking out is 'a waste of money' (I'm Scottish, we're anal like that).

I went to see Troy with my A Level Classics class. We didn't expect great things, after all, it was a Hollywood version 'inspired' by Homer. But we went, we dressed up in bedsheets to make chitons, and we got odd looks from people. We also nearly got thrown out for standing up and screaming

'WHAT THE FUCK?! Menelaus doesn't DIE, you fucking morons!! He wins!! He gets the girl!! He goes home to Sparta!!! You WANKERS, MAKE THAT RIGHT!!!!!'

Then the sword of Troy, the death of Agamemnon, the lack of gods and lack of mention of Achilles' heel apart from the symbolic arrow at the end, the random insertion of Aeneas at the end in preparation of a sequel and other atrocities.

I admit, naked Brad Pitt helped with the pain a little. But still, there are some films that hotness can not redeem. Ever.

I'm not going to blow smoke up your ass. Troy sucked. King Arthur sucked (and yes, I'd do Clive Owen in a second.) But even though Mr and Mrs Smith's story line is a frightening resemblance to True Lies, there are kick ass sex scenes, gun scenes and two really fuckable stars. That's a hat trick, my friends. THAT is fodder for a good movie.

[naamah_darling]

See? I gotta see that. Just . . . must see it.

[stormmonkey]

LOL Actually, it's based on a short-lived series of the same name and plot-line, and an even older movie called Prizzi's Honor from the 80's, starring Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner. :) But yes, we will be there. Cause it's fun and full of eye candy. :p

Preach it, girl!

I'm all about the sex. Then again, I write smut, too.

Labyrinth is a BDSM movie to me. It's all about who's on top, baby, and damn, I want Jareth to tie me up in the worse way.

Fright Night is an awful movie but give me Chris Sarandon in fangs and I'm all yours.

Lost Boys? Fuck, yeah! I'll cave and bite a few of them.

You liked Phantom? Then you MUST get the 1998 version with Julian Sands! Not only does it include telepathic rats, Christina gets to fuck the Phantom... Twice!

[_skye_]

Labyrinth and Lost Boys all the way for me too, and darn it if I don't have a Keanu facination tht baffles even me. Also? Father figure kink issues, hmmmmm yes!

[naamah_darling]

I love Labyrinth. And Lost Boys. Haven't seen Fright Night.

I MUST see the Julian Sands/Asia Argento Phantom. That sounds . . . dreadfully camp.

[starfire68]

Fright Night is good, but if you want a vamp flick with a totally yummy vamp, try To Die For with Brendan Hughes. I watched and rewatched that movie thinking just how much I'd love to get bitten by him. Anywhere he wanted to bite.

And I second anything with Julian Sands. His Warlock was deliciously evil :)

[khukuri]

8mm.

A terrible, terrible movie, but a terrible, terrible movie starring a pierced, punk Joaquin Phoenix in tight leather pants.

FATALITY.

[naamah_darling]

I . . . oh. Dear. Well, I didn't know he was in it. If I had, I would have seen it by now. Dear oh dear. I smell a rental.
