Movies I Never Want To See Again

[naamah_darling]

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

The 13th Floor! Great flick. I am one of the few who've seen it, when I went through a bizarrely intense Vincent D'Onofrio fetish a few years back. Also when I saw The Cell, which I actually liked. The imagery IS horrific, but for some reason I enjoyed it. Not sure what that says about me.

I never even bothered to watch any of The Matrix sequels, even though I liked the first one, because they looked profoundly stupid even just from the previews.

The remake of The Fog, ditto. I love Carpenter's late '70s/early '80s flicks (except Halloween, which I think is a total snoozefest, apologies to its legions of fans), so I'm pretty sure I can go through life with seeing any remakes of his movies and not feel like I'm missing anything.

I would start my own list with Miracle Mile, a movie that almost no one has seen (I think it went straight to video). Anthony Edwards picks up a Los Angeles pay phone in the middle of the night, and some kid working in a missile silo who dialed the wrong number tells him there are Russian nukes (it's from the '80s) headed for the West Coast. The next 90 minutes is him trying to get him and his girlfriend out of the city, as more and more people find out and everything comes comlpetely unraveled. I though my blood pressure was going go so high my veins would explode. It's not a bad movie, quite the opposite, but it's SO. INTENSE. I watch movies to RELAX, thanks.

I remember Miracle Mile, though it's been years since I saw it. It was good.

I'm so glad someone else has seen The 13th Floor. It seems like it was here and gone, and that's a shame. I think part of that is because the previews for it really, really sucked, and gave no indication of what the cool parts of the movie were like.

That movie was awesome.

I hate how often it gets compared to the Matrix, if anything I liken it to Dark City.

Miracle Mile

Sheesh! I thought I was the only one who had seen that movie. My uncle and I rented it one rainy Saturday. The 1st 10-15 minutes or so *dragged*. It was blah blah blah.
Then - sittingontheedgeofmyseat OMGOMGOMG for the rest of the movie.

Intense.

I wonder if I can get it on DVD... {wanders off to search}

It has Vincent D'Onofrio in it? D'ono-love. Now I gotta see it.
