Supposedly "great" movies that kind of sucked
Just saw Mystic River, what a pile of shit. Horrible movie, the acting was totally schizophrenic, at times decent to good, at times absolutely comical. The scene near the end with Sean Penn and his wife in their bedroom is one of the funniest scenes in movie history.
Feel free to respond, unless its to take up for that piece o shit.

I thought Crash (best picture Oscar in 2005) was a shit movie. Shit acting, melodramatic, shit storylines, exxagerated ideas. All those accolades jut for telling us that racists exist? Hollywood gives itself a political pat on the back.
Re: Supposedly "great" movies that kind of sucked
To be fair most of Clint Eastwoods directorial efforts suck. I didn't much like this film either I have to say, and Million Dollar Baby was the flat out most depressing, miserable movie experience I've ever endured, it was like an exocet missile homed at the Oscars with a nuclear sized warhead of melodrama and despair to get the critics weeping and wailing and telling us how great it was.
I'm a big fan of Eastwood's older stuff, his Westerns etc, but all of his films now are just gloom and depression with characters loaded down with guilt, shame, suicidal tendencies and hopelessness.
He needs a hug.

I kind of liked the first hour or so of Million Dollar Baby but it quickly became shoot me in the head please. Not to mention how silly the boxing was.
Crash was ok I guess I didn't love it. Mystic River was shit, Gone baby Gone was a lot better, different director, same author though.
Re: Supposedly "great" movies that kind of sucked
know what you mean re some Eastwood movies - depressing and dull : Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River
I also find some of the Coen brothers stuff shite (Intolerable Cruelty, Barton Fink, Burn After Reading) - others excellent mind.
I think maybe you just have to 'get' some of them ?? Bit like Monty Python - I just didn't get that either :-\

There really wasn't much to get with Python. Basically it was slapstick humour, not much to it, you either liked it or didn't. Certainly there is nothing I as a fan can explain to you to make you understand. That being said, some Python had a clever message to it. Life of Brian for example, was quite excellent satire.

Easy. Rider. I was so glad when those two douchebags got dashed in the end.

#1 Broke back mountain.
Should be erased totally from the mainstream,me and the misses just looked at each other and and shook our heads in disbelife. No story line, no nothing, just two cowgirlboys sneaking off for a bum.
Crap movie, just for gays I imagine.
