films that just dont get better
 

u know when u watch a film and u realise immediately that its gonna be shit but u keep watching anyway cos u think it MUST get better but it just doesnt and thats 2 hours of yr life yr never gonna get back? eg. mullholland drive, that was so wank i nearly cried, and also

anything by joe d'amato

(woops hadnt finished) and also 'in the name of the king' has anyone seen that? what the fuck happened there? i used to trust implicitly anything with statham in it but he let me down, what was the deal with that film why did it have so many cool actors in it and still manage to be unbelievable shit???

here was your first mistake

but he's awesome i refuse to admit my mistake :|

I saw a terrible one a few weeks ago and it was so bad that I can't even the title to warn you not to waste any precious time watching it. :o

Ponyo

blood and chocolate
the collector
tropic thunder
role models
armageddon
30 days of night

et cetera

I avoid these kinds of movies like the plague. I guess I'm successful enough because I can't think of any right now.

WTF ? Mulholland Dr. is a masterpiece, Lynch is one of the greatest directors ever.

Most films.

Also, Mulholland Drive is easily in the top 10 best films ever.

I think MD is a good movie (or it could have been), but the actors are SO bad, I can't watch it again.
They would fit in The Young and the Restless.

godfather III

Huh.

Just curious, have you seen any of Lynch's other films? He has them act that way in most of his films... probably to accentuate the more surreal qualities of the film.

Yes: Eraserhead, Elephant Man, and Dune.
I did enjoy EM and Dune.
But the actors in these movies are good to me (especially Kyle McLachlan), it's not the question whether they're superstar or not.

Let's see. Broken Flowers. Though I kind of liked the ending, I was really disappointed.

Also, Black Dahlia. Fuck that movie.

the bit in mullholand dr with the woman singing 'crying' is one of the most brilliant things i've seen in a film

That new sci fi remake, I forget, was it the day the earth stood still? Keanu Reeves was in it. Saw it with my folks. I figured it would be shit, and then, it got so shitty I thought this has to be a joke, and then it got even shittier...

napoleon dynamite sucks every time.
