The band Babylon AD was better than this pile of doggie donuts. |

Well, I've only fallen asleep during two movies (Marley & Me and ... Barnyard, was it? Animated, with cows ), but then they weren't exactly my kind of genre. Barnyard was just stupid as all get out, though, the bulls had freakin' UDDERS, good Lord ....
Me, Myself & Irene was just inexplicably bad.
I'm sure I'll think of more.

For a current movie that sure didn't meet expectations, I'll have to vote for "Burn After Reading", which was supposed to be a Coen Brothers comedy...almost boring as sin, it got a tad cute, here and there. Simply everybody underachieved.
Most of the cute parts are here, although Brad Pitt getting 'put down' was a scream!

Thank you!!! I had to suffer through it as a Broadway play. People are either becoming dumbstruck, or I'm being gaslighted. The fact that it had a stellar cast is that much more disturbing!

I finally saw Sideways. The only reason I watched it is that my son worked on the Japanese version of it that's in post-production now. So when I've told people that he worked on it, they always ask if I saw the original, and I feel like a jerk saying no.
Boy, was that a wasted 2-1/2 hours of my life! The wine talk bullsh*t was so tedious, I wanted to scream. (My ex used to be "into" wine; I was bored to tears at pretentious wine-tasting parties.) The main character (Thomas Hayden-Church) was an asshole; Paul Giamatti's character was more sympathetic, but boring and painfully embarrassing. The women (Sandra Oh and Virginia Madsen) were really good. But I hated the story. |

But yeah, I've been to those wine parties and, of course, to a few wineries. There's a whole other language spoken at them. Maybe Yutolia should include them in her study of cult-speak (as mentioned in the Columbine thread).
No, Goddamnit! It's not "buttery"!! It's fermented grape juice, for Chrissake! There's no butter in it!

That was the WORST part of it: having hosts who made you make notes (notes, for God's sake! ) about the wine. "Oakey," "smokey." Grrrrrrr. I get the "oakey" when it's been fermented in oak barrels. But smokey? What, did you throw some lit cigarettes in there? Did you light a fire under the vat? OMG, I'm so glad that part of my life is over. |

hah winespeak is weird, but I have to defend the tastes that people detect. THere are so many "flavinoids" that show up in drinks and those molecules can react so differently with people and with what was accompanied in their palate.
There is actually a wine tasting "flavor wheel" and it is pretty comical. Among the flavors included is "cat urine" and "oily rags" Spirits have that as well but in a smaller form. I have had aged white wines that really do take on a near meaty quality and the umami mouth feeling effect will tell you different things. What is really happening is you as a human are "reaching". So basically any sommelier worth their salt will not be a jerk and will acknowledge ANY description of a wine they offer someone as the RIGHT answer. I have been to tastings where I honestly have tasted one thing, grapes. I then said, "I taste grapes" and the sommelier was all, "yeah great" Whereas the dude next to me was throwing out the "hearty apples" and "wheatiness" The coolest was on our honeymoon in Maui we stopped at a windery at the end of the Road to Hana and there was a guy there who said "Pizza pocket" everyone laughed but then through group suggesting we all got it, we were like "yeah maybe it does have the yeasty/spiciness of a pizza pocket. I like to think he was being a smartass and just threw an arbitrary flavor out there to laugh at the pretentiousness of wine tasters. But who knows. maybe he did taste pizza pockets. |

oh and on the bad movie topic..... I saw I am Legend mentioned and I can't abide this film because of its complete departure from the book.
Given I know that happens but usually there is enough of the book's spirit in a movie that it can be pulled off when they steer away from a lot of the original concept, but this one was a complete redo. I will give Smith credit for really carrying the character and the loneliness to a new level and his relationship with the dog was good. It should have been called something else. Lest we forget this book has been made in to film two other times, V Price in The last Man on Earth and our beloved Chuck Heston in Omega Man. But Smith's version was so choppy as mentioned. I saw the original ending where the "mutant/zombie/vampires" are given the female and they take her away peacefully and Will lives and realizes HE is the legend and the monster in the film. That redeemed it a little bit. |

Sounds like a more interesting ending.
(What I generally detect in wine, by the way, is "decay" and "paint thinner." That's why I don't like wine )

Premonition:
She gets this vision that her husband is going to die in a car crash and then he *SPOILER ALERT* ends up getting killed anyway, no matter what she tried to do! IT SUCKED! |

That was one of those movies where you KNOW there are two ways the plot can turn out: Something interesting will happen, or the main character becomes a complete idiot at some point. About halfway through you know which one it's going to be. |

One wonders, SGM & AdN...you folks think that was possibly intended to be a 'made for T.V. movie' (for the Lifetime Movie Channel, or something like that)? It seemed an awful lot like great filler to compete with normal daytime soap operas.

Dennis Hopper disagrees with you, Hooty.
Be brave.
No one else does.

Good point ... maybe one of those you see at 3 or 5 PM on a Saturday or Sunday on network TV, after the kiddie programs and right before the pretty-good movies on the channels that don't have enough game shows to use as filler? The ones where you say, "Hey, I know that actor, but what in the *heck* is this movie?!" Where you keep watching even when you start to realize it's not making any sense, because you think maybe if you stick around just half an hour longer it has to get better? Because no half-respectable actor would possibly agree to be in something this bad?
Seems reasonable. I mean, if I had to choose between Premonition and Wheel of Fortune, there's a solid 80% chance I would watch Premonition. If the other one was a rerun.

The biggest failure in movie history! Awful!! That was when Kevin Costner thought he was invincible. He was wrong.

Hm. I saw the beginning of this movie once. It was on NBC. At 12 AM. After Saturday Night Live. I did not finish watching it.

Agreed. Kubrick maxxed out with "Clockwork Orange"- Alex was the rockin'est villain.
I do love David Bowie's Space Odyssey
