Overrated movies.

[Snake]

I tried watching Clockwork and couldn't get into it.

I saw 2001 the first time years ago and thought it was "boring", but there's videos I've been watching about it recently and maybe I misjudged it. I cannot believe he got those level of effects in fucking 68. Just simple matte painting space shots with Ligeti's music is fantastic. Reminds me of Alien's opening with that light romantic melody as the camera pans over the darkside of the gas giant.

I never really got the 2001 movie ending until after reading the books. Both movie and books are improved by each other, in my opinion.

I’ve been on a string of knocking out a bunch of “great” movies that everyone loves but as an older millennial I have never seen. My top pick so far since I just watched it tonight:

Almost Famous

Cameron Crowe can suck a dick. This is the opposite of Oscar baiting. A movie made specifically for a bunch of 50 year olds remembering their youth and “rock”. It’s like a shitty version of “Dazed and Confussed”. “Superbad” was a more moving coming of age tale.

What about when they're on the tour bus and everyone starts singing Tiny Dancer and looking all meaningfully at one another? You didn't get into that?

the Jew Ranger getting that beautiful SS dagger put deep into his heart as he tries to haggle. Might have to fast forward through half of the movie next time though.

Ribs. I never thought of that but it's exactly what he does. "No, no, wait, perhaps we can reach an equitable arrangement-"

HEAT is honestly shit. It's full of shit dialogue, and terrible characters. The so-called shootout scene is embarrassing. It's like nobody is scared of bullets and nobody runs out of ammunition. Then, a common issue with 90s movies. Is that you have this gay awareness in the culture, but this movie is full of macho men being macho. So make sure EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has a girlfriend, and we have to go through the relationship with each one. Worst gays of the Not-Gays ever.

HEAT was the original A RIGHTEOUS KILL. They should've called it TURK VS. ROOSTER. And Michael Mann should be beaten for his gay Miami Vice-style directing in every dumb movie he makes even his period dramas.

The girlfriend scenes with Al Pacino are douche chill-y for sure. So not necessary for the plot, but you know, Al Pacino must be getting pussy so hence her character's whole purpose.

Not that it would have been popular around here, but Shape of Water could not have been more of a transparent Hollywood wokefest. Protagonist is some kind of mute retard, aided by a faggot, a pack of oppressed n-people, and a literal communist. Naturally the villain is the white family man with a government job.

The mute retard literally fucks the fish monster and this is not met with revulsion. She and her black friend share a little tee hee giggle about it. Meanwhile the queer spends all his free time lusting after a straight guy, who responds violently to his creepy behavior, and this is painted as yet more meaningless cruelty towards a homosexual.

Besides all that shit it's just a dumb movie. What would the evil white people shadow government even want with the creature from the black lagoon? It's basically a gorilla that can swim. Who cares. Shoot it and go to lunch.

Oh yeah I also never enjoyed Usual Suspects. Oh wow, holy shit, the mysterious arch criminal was actually the one guy who survived the heist! Whoa!

Bohemian Rhapsody. I am a huge Queen fan, and this idiot movie was 90% fiction, even going so far as to fuck up chronology just to elicit feels from the audience. Fuck that moronic title as well. This movie should have been called The Show Must Go On if we're doing Queen song titles, or Mr. Bad Guy or The Great Pretender if you are doing Freddie Mercury song titles.

Fuck that movie. Idiot movie for idiot people.

I love classic rock and docs/movies about it and I couldn't get through 10 mins. I thought to myself a few minutes in "oh fuck they are going to start AND end with Live Aid?." Before I bailed I fast forwarded to the end and sure enough...

Fuck the surviving members with wiffle bats, I don't care if he made his stupid guitar out of a shelf with his faggot dad.

 

[Mr. Faggotry]

Currently sitting through 1984. Complete borefest of a movie and subject.

 

[UnPRePared]

This is Spinal Tap is terrible

I might be biased, but I love the movie.

And it's far more accurate to real life touring than some might think.

Bohemian Rhapsody. I am a huge Queen

Speaking of dogshit movies, “Best in Show” is horribly overrated.

Heat is fucking awful. It's got like four subplots going on at once and none of them are even remotely interesting. Pacino is so over the top and De Niro makes his Silvio Dante face the whole film.

Manhunter is Mann's best film.

 

[warchief1978]

Die Hard
The Godfather I and II
Raging Bull
Goodfellas
Silence of the Lambs
2001 Space Odyssey

2001 Space Odyssey is a masterpiece. I have to disagree with you on that one.

Glad to see someone mention this one. That film was all around garbage woke shit right down to having the communist spy be a hero. Was so bad it alone made me hate Guilmmero Del Toro

Now that we're on page 6... I just ran down a string of good movies I knew would piss people off

 

[HotDogJoe]

Both A Quiet Place movies were shite. I don't know how they were so loved by audiences and critics.
