Well, alainbriongloid asked me for a list of movies I never want to see again, and I couldn't resist the opportunity. So, I compiled a partial catalog of stuff I could go the rest of my life without seeing ever again
( Read more... )
I also hated The Ring, but I really liked Ringu (it was scarier, somehow). Pathfinder...is horrible. Hilarious (not on purpose) but horrible. The leading actor had more lines in the Lord of the Rings movies than in his own.
It was wonderfully bad, in a way that I actually do want to watch again and again, because it's so much fun to laugh at. The violence was really entertaining, and, in terms of how it looked, it was beautiful. Not that these things defend its copious awfulness.
Poor Karl Urban. He's pretty cute, you know? He deserves better.
That he does. I didn't realize the character's name was Ghost until the 2nd go round, reading the end credits. Thomas and I show it to friends so that they don't go buying it on their own.
I wandered through while a housemate was watching it and saw the bit where the viking forces Karl Urban to lead him across a frozen lake despite his warnings that the ice was too thin.
Because ,I>clearly vikings are wholly unfamiliar with the pitfalls of traversing bodies of water in cold climates.
Clancy Brown makes a fabulous burly forceful viking man however and I must admit to having a bit of a soft squishy spot for him after seeing all of Carnivale. I find him completely physically unattractive, but ghod does that man have presence.
Oh dear. I thought I was the only person on earth who had seen this. So much silly extraneous gore. It was actually better, in its campy way, than I was expecting from the cover. The description on the back of the box is friggin' hilarious, but we only rented it so I can't copy it here.

It's my love of awful movies!

That totally cracked me up. BWAHAHA!
We do the same thing with bad movies to OUR friends. Misery shared is misery lessened!

I love Clancy Brown, and I don't find him sexy, either. He just has a lot of presence, as you say. Very magnetic.
