"I survived.... (a particularly bad film or television

Post Reply New Topic

Oh yeah, I also survived Two of a Kind, with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. And this is from a guy who loved Xanadu.

DIE PAINFULLY.

I survived that movie three times and loved every minute of it.

I survived Lady in the Water. Barely.

I survived K9 and Used People.

holy hell i rented that just to see how bad it actually was. me and my friend couldn't make it past the first hour, it was that dumb and insipid.

"this movie is rated A for Asinine"

Rome.

This is the problem when you get into a long drama with other people, and they like it and you hate it. It was so perverse it was absurd, totally ridiculously melodramatically perverted and yet people took this seriously... even thought it was artistic

You guys didn't like Lady in the Water? I loved it. I really did. Sunshine was good too.

So far we have yet to hear from someone who did not survive...

For what it's worth, I survived every movie I've ever seen. If this were not the case, I would not be writing this post.

I survived Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but the Director's Cut of Lawrence of Arabia almost did me in.

What about the 8 hour directors cut of Das Boot?

8 hours? According to IMDb, the longest version runs 293 mins. I haven't seen either, but I suppose one would have to watch it as a mini-series in several parts.

I survived:

Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001)
Chojin gakuen Gowcaizer/Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer (1997)
Happy Feet (2006)
The Last Legion (2007)
The Lion in Winter (1968)
Alexander (2004)
Blade Runner (1982)
Connors' War (2006)
House of D (2004)
The Lady from Shanghai (1947)
Runaway (1984)
Lost in Translation (2003)
Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 (2000)
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
Freddy Got Fingered (2001)

I'm glad you did, but the question is, why? I thought they invented the intermission so that one could walk out on bad movies in the middle...

I survived approximately one half of the suckfest The English Patient , worst POS half of a movie I have ever seen.

I used to review films for my high school's newspaper (from October 2003 when the meetings started for my Freshman year until June 2007 when I graduated). I even reviewed films during the summer and they'd be placed in the first newspaper back. The only movie I ever explicitly requested to review was "Serenity".

Some of the worst ones I saw:
Surviving Christmas (2004)
Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006)
Click (2006, the only film I ever walked out of in my life. Which I noted in my review)
Talledaga Nights (2006)
Norbit (2007)

oh god i had to read the book and sit through the whole bloody thing in my Literature of the Historical Moment class. it was a culmination of a semester filled with works i'm sure was determined by Oprah's book club.

something funny though, my copy of the book only cost me one penny on Amazon. i'm guessing book stores and airports just got flooded with so many copies thanks to the movie's popularity they became worthless. i burned it in the fireplace when i went home for christmas.

I survived wild wild world of batwoman. the film should have been buried with everyone associated with its making in the same mass grave and then thorughly burned before being coverd over with dirt.


even with mike and the bots it was just way too painful the only good part is the short on cheating. the DVD has the uncut version of the film on it but I cant imagine anyone surviving that one. I really hope whoever produced this misbegotten TV series pilot got fired and or shot. why the film survived is a mystery to me I can't imagine anyone saying to themselves "Gee maybe we aught to keep this one for posterity" unless their motive was to use it as an example on how NOT to create a successful TV pilot.
