Homestar Runner Wiki Forum :: View topic - I should like this movie, but I don't

The first Matrix movie was awexome, then it got stupid.

Magnolia was another one that was high on a lot of peoples list, but I found it to be pretty dull.

What culture do you mean, exactly?

And about my earlier post: I guess punching is a bit harch, maybe I'll just flick their ears or something... -Krazed Squirell

The culture of Southern Idaho/Northern Utah in the late 80's early 90's. I'm not saying that some one who grew up in NYC coudn't find it funny, but there is a lot that he/she would not catch. It's not just small town humor... its an entire sub-culture.

Bonus Stage. I'm just not getting it.

Oh yeah, I wish they'd never made the stupid sequels. Some really horrible dialogue in "Revolutions"...

Not a movie but....The Lion King Broadway Musical....

I dunno, I adore theatre, but I just thought this one might've been overrated...

I loved that. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Murderous robot chick plus insane hippie lady kicking a squirrel equals pwnage.

WATCH IT.

Anyhoo...not a movie, but I don't understand the appeal behind South Park...or Family Guy, for that matter.

Bonus Stage. I'm just not getting it.

As for Me, The Wizard of Oz.

The Princess Bride. All my friends love it and hate me for laughing at them for it. I think the funniest part was that they adored their dear WESLEY, not Westley. Smart, guys. But anyway, it's BAD!
Who said Bonus stage was bad?! PREPARE TO DIE!

Guy1: OMG THAT WAS SO COOL

That's probably about a thousand times more intelligent than the brainstorming process for 90% of the movies made these days. It seems the only films that come out are either garbage, or incredibly boring, incoherent garbage that attempt to relay some sort of message about politics and society, and fail miserably 'cause nobody has any idea what's going on in the film. Granted, there are a few good films each year, but we're seeing substantially fewer. It's no secret that the film industry is on the decline.[/i]

I'm gonna have to watch it again sometime, just to get through a couple of "WTF?" moments, of which I assure you there are a lot..

And what comes to Trek movies, most of them are pretty good imo. There are a couple of really great ones (First Contact) and a few really bad ones (Insurrection...).

Napoleon has broader appeal than just Utah and Idaho citizens, apparently. The movie has fans across the country.

Actually I have family in northern Utah, and there are definitely similarities. Maybe I'm just kind of used to the humor portrayed in ND that I just didn't find it funny. Ah well... I'll post in another thread one of these days, honest! -Krazed Squirell

I'm not a huge movie afficianado, so I can't really say that I've been bored with movies other people think are great. The only one that really comes to mind is The Goonies. Yeah, it was good, but it isn't good enough for a day not to go by without someone yelling "Heeey, you guyyyyyys!" Same thing with Family Guy...

I have two words for the Matrix sequels "UNNECESSARY" and "MISSEDOPPERTUNITY". I mean, good gravy! It's like they took everything awesome about the original and then threw it out the window.

I guess its just not my style.

It's kinda hard to get into something that the creator quite recently decided to dissappear/kill off. Though I have to admit, it is pretty funny.

For those of you who don't like Star Wars, you have to remeber that it's obviously going to lack some of the old flair once Han Solo is gone. I liked all the new movies (Ep:3 is tied with Ep:6 and 5 for second best) except for episode 2 (too much talking, and the colours were annoying to look at).

whew, so many. Moulin Rouge. Seriously. I've seen this movie twice in hope to get the same reaction as every other girl in my school. Nada. It's just.. so.. bland. 'Hey! Let's steal everybody else's songs and throw them together and create a stupid plot!' Ack, I really.. don't.. get... it. The Village. STUPIDEST. MOVIE. EVER. No wonder it was a 12. What is so scary about a giant porcupine chasing after a blind girl? Lord of the Rings 1, 2 and 3. I didn't like the books. I thought the movies were okay but they're the kinda movies that I can only watch once or I'll get completely bored of the plot. The Ring, The Grudge and pretty much any new horror movie. It's like they're not even trying any more. Texas Chain Saw Massacre Both of them. Biggest. Disappointment. Ever. Everyone acts like it's THE movie to watch and I got bored 10 minutes into them. The Exorcist Why was everyone so afraid of this movie? Why is it classed as the scariest horror of all time? No. Just.. no. That's my list for now. I'm really difficult to please when it comes down to movies.

It's pretty sad that the best movies that I know are coming out this year are all made by Disney.

I watched Dr Strangelove this weekend. THAT is one weird movie. I'm gonna have to watch it again sometime, just to get through a couple of "WTF?" moments, of which I assure you there are a lot.. I admit, for me, the highlight was finally seeing where that whole "dude riding the A-Bomb to the ground while waving a cowboy hat" scene, that gets parodied over and over again, comes from. Everyone says it's a good movie, so I should like it. Right now, it's just too weird for me to like. I'm-a watch it again before I decide for sure.

Most of Kubrick's stuff was like that for me as well.
