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

That alone is a pretty potent motivator. The Matrix would have pissed me off WAY less if it had featured anyone I think is hot in any role whatsoever.

How much shirtlessness is there between them?

Seriously, how do you make Monica Bellucci unnatractive? She's one of the hottest women alive, I think her body is incredible, and yet in the Matrix movies she looked like an aging overstuffed sausage automoton.

I think there is a small bit. Do not quote me on that though. You do have to watch it. *grins*

In all truth, I have a movie suggestion for you. It has been claimed to be better than the Matrix, which it is, so you may like it. If you don't, don't kill me. *grins*

I would try out Equilibrium with Christian Bale and Sean Bean. Those two are more than enough to really watch the movie and the plot of it might appeal to you more. I hope you enjoy it.

Mmmmmm. I loves me some Christian Bale. And I agree, Equilibrium was way better than The Matrix.

Who doesn't like Christian Bale? We own Equilibrium. ^_^

...I think I'll ask Z if we can watch Batman Begins tonight.

That movie was so freaking good.

I would gush but it would be all spoilertastic.

Thank god I'm not the only one who pissed herself over Event Horizon. My husband and I started watching one time at night and got about 20 minutes in. I told him he could either finish it alone, or wait for daylight. Freaked me the fuck out

That's why I find 'Conspiracy' so disturbing. If you've never seen it, I think you should. Its based off of documentation left over from WWII, concerning the Holocaust. Basicly, its a dozen high ranking Nazi's, sitting around a table, drinking wine and eating fine foods, discussing how the Jews turn pink after they've been gassed.

I'm going to have to see that. In return, if you or anyone else hasn't seen Costa-Gavras's Music Box, I strongly recommend it. Don't be put off by the fact that Joe Eszterhas wrote the script.

The contrast between Conspiracy and Saving Private Ryan (which I haven't seen yet) rather reminds me of that between older Hollywood movies, which conveyed a great deal of sensuality through implication and suggestion; and many modern ones, which despite acres of bare skin manage to make sex mundane and boring.

You've hit the nail on the head there. Yeah, sometimes its fun to see the actual bits and bobbles and details, but your imagination is the best and worst (in the case of Event Horizon) tool ever!

I'm a bit young to remember that movie coming out, but I'll bet my husband did. I'll see if any of his friends might have a copy for me to borrow; it sounds really good. Thanks for the recc!

I saw the first Resident Evil, and you know, as zombie flicks go, it wasn't so bad. But it wasn't GOOD, either, and even the extreme presence of Michelle Rodriguez, who I have a big ol' bisexual crush on, could not induce me to see it a second time. And I can't think of anything that would make me see the sequels.

Evita. It's the only movie I've ever wanted to walk out of...but couldn't because we were trapped in the middle of an aisle. (The place was packed.) Also, Last Days. We fast forwarded through most of it and I was still bored out of my mind.

[naamah_darling]

Hahahaha! Trapped in Evita!

*ahem*'

Sorry. I'm not laughing at you, just at the awfulness of the situation. I had heard that movie was bad, and avoided it.

[dollface74128]

I knew it was a musical...but seriously, it was NOT necessary for them to sing. every. fucking. word. Wretched.

[coyotegoth]

I had a similar reaction to Evita; fortunately, I was sitting by an aisle, so I could run like a thief :P

Saw was the first movie I've ever been actively angry at having watched. They already made that movie, it was called Se7en, and at least that had sympathetic protagonists. I hated every character in Saw and the "reveal" had all the excitement and originality of an extreme porn closeup of red pimply crotch stubble.

The Ring did horrible things to my psyche (as does most Jhorror), but I appreciated its effectiveness.

And seriously, you'd think something with Erik Bana and Jennifer Connelly would at least be good for the eye candy factor.

In defense of The Cell I will say that I can forgive a whole lot of any movie with art design by Eiko Ishioka. I don't know if you got that far, but the imagery of the Throne Room scene was enough to sell me, you could burn most of the rest ff the movie for all I care, but that scene was incredible.

[naamah_darling]

Yeah, okay, I'll give you that one. Eiko Ishioka rules. Some of the outfits were amazing.

". . . the "reveal" had all the excitement and originality of an extreme porn closeup of red pimply crotch stubble."

. . . . EEEEEWWWWWW. AAAAUGH.

See? Glad I didn't see it.
