Human Traffic sucked.
I sat through the first Lord Of The Rings film - all three hours - and saw the 'to be continued' thing on the screen. Oh yes, for your extreme patience you are rewarded with an opportunity to wait another year, pay another $15, to get another bit of the story. THANKS! Seriously unimpressed.
Anything with Jennifer Aniston in it - girly, whining movies. Plus, I find her very unattractive in both the roles she chooses and her physical appearance.

If I could cross the LOTR films with the morons in Human Traffic and drop Ms Aniston in there, THEN add zombies.. well. That would be another story ;)

Were you even aware it was a trilogy?

No, I wasn't.
I'm half expecting someone to come out and snark at me for not knowing that it was the first part of a trilogy and I almost feel the need to apologise for not being more familiar with someone's makebelieve world from 100 years ago. I hated it, it sucked. It was quaint and simple and spent way too much money on special effects to justify the end result.
The only good thing about the movie is that I didn't have to pay for my ticket, and I was also given popcorn. The end!

I bought a packet containing both the original editions of Robot Monster and Plan Nine from Outer Space. The former was technically the poorer made, however in a way it was funny, the latter was just boring, IMO.

Two movies that I had difficulty dealing with were the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and John Water's Cecile B. Demented. I watched that with a group in an alternative school and had to move to the back of the room. They were just too much.

I hated Senor Spielbergo's "War Of The Worlds." It did not add anything to the original story, or offer an interesting new take on it. Also, the main characters were unlikeable. Tom Cruise was an (rhymes with cash hole), and his son was an ungrateful, whiny runt. The best thing Spielberg could have done was to let the aliens win, and he didn't even do that.

The first one was by far the best of the trilogy.
You do not need me to advice you in not wasting any more of your life with the rest of the trilogy.

I liked that the characters were all awful, because that's how most people--at least most Americans--are, especially families during a time of crisis. Families do nothing but yell at each other when the smallest problem pops up, and when something as huge as an alien invasion happens, no wonder they're all gonna be horrible. I loved this movie because it actually potrayed humanity in a time of crisis in a consistantly grim and realistic way, rather than in the cheery cheesy "Oh, we'll get out of this somehow! We're all smiles!" type of attitude that too many flicks of its sort adopt. No comic relief here, just brutality.

For some reason, I don't hate movies. I guess I just don't have hate in my heart. :D I like most of the movies I see.

Plan 9 from Outer Space is public domain, so you can watch it on Google Video.

Here's another truly bad movie I saw just recently: Troll 2.

If you've seen it, you'll know what I mean. If you've only heard about it, let me tell you that everything you've heard is true.

And it's worth a double-decker bologna sandwich. This movie sucks.

If THIS movie was real, it'd be listed here:

Dude, that movie was like a joke. I read the book and it was amazing- amazing! For an old book, the story moved along very fast and with good detail. But the new movie?
Blecch!
After the 10,000th dead person I saw I gave up.
In the book, the aliens had more weapons but WEREN'T all powerful (cannons could destroy them) and the amount of dead was reduced drastically.

Another bad movie is "Click". Stupid, juvenile humor, didn't laugh once.

I had to turn off the Aeon Flux movie. Horrible. Normally I like sci-fi and action films, and I really liked the animated series.

I also had the misfortune of watching Maid in New York and Radio while on the Greyhound bus. Both horrible.

The Princess Bride, Neverending Story, all of the Neverending Stories, the Star Wars prequel films, I hated those, as I am a die-hard fan of the original Star Wars films.

Only saving point for Princess Bride, is that it had WWE superstar Andre' The Giant in it. That saves it from being the worst. I also think the Lord of the Rings films sucked, I found those to be long, and boring, the first put me to sleep, and I saw part of the second one on TV, and was near sleeping if it had not been for a phone call I got from my wicked-witch sister's piece of s**t boyfriend.

Fantasy films have never been a passion of mine, I find them illogical, and hard to follow, and understand. I would rather watch something like a disaster movie, vulgar dirty comedy movie; or a good thriller. Fantasy movies, or fantasy in particluar has never been up my alley. That might get me flamed, but we all have our tastes in movies.

PS, Werbert, I too hated the remake of War of The Worlds, I always liked the original one the best. Remakes do suck.

The Grudge

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

I shut of a show about four people trying to make a modern video game in four months, it's pretty bad, nowhere near reality, it takes hundreds of people years to do videogames. They had this woman wearing a mechanical suit to capture her movements when in reality you use that black suit with those little white balls. A power surge erased all their data, but in reality they would have backups and UPS units to regulate the power supply to the machines to ensure there wouldn't be a problem. I'm sure it got even worse but I quit watching it.
