Angelnikki | Wednesday, February 06, 2002 - 04:25 pm     jbean i liked What Women Want!! That was so cute. |
Jbean | Wednesday, February 06, 2002 - 06:44 pm     angel, i didn't HATE what women want, but i was disappointed in it. every preview i saw was hilarious, i guess it just wasn't what i expected. oh well, bygones. |
Julieboo | Wednesday, February 06, 2002 - 06:48 pm     Thank you Juju! I wondered what those were for. I'm new to this. I've lurked for a while but only recently started posting.... |
Julieboo | Thursday, February 07, 2002 - 06:33 am     Off the subject a bit, but can someone tell me what the other 3 icons mean? |
Teddybear | Thursday, February 07, 2002 - 07:23 am     Juju--- I did dislike these movies, so maybe you should go see them. I have heard that alot of people liked Royal Tenenbaums, but I just didnt get it. |
Tess | Thursday, February 07, 2002 - 11:16 am     Julie--the other 3 are for the moderators for administrative work if necessary. Sometimes things need to be moved or links need to be fixed, etc. The first icon with the single sheet of paper and pencil is the one that lets us edit our posts within 10 minutes as Juju said. |
Julieboo | Thursday, February 07, 2002 - 11:25 am     Thank you. And BTW, back to the thread, my pick is: The Story of Us. |
Chance | Monday, March 04, 2002 - 09:39 am     I absolutely hated In the Bedroom...I have found nobody I know who liked it. It was unrelentingly depressing. |
Alaskagal | Monday, March 04, 2002 - 11:09 am     Shallow Hal was a real disappointment. All the funny scenes were in the previews... I thought it'd be hilarious. |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, March 04, 2002 - 03:43 pm     I didn't hate In the Bedroom, but wasn't all that fond of it either. It was a downer of a movie. I didn't see anything too special about Sissy Spacek's performance. I thought the actor who played her husband carried the movie. |
Whowhere | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 09:13 am     Memento Pay it Forward My Best Friends Wedding Some people I know, LOVED Memento. I thought it was a waste of my time. Pay it Forward ended crappy. Why did they have to kill the kid? I'm a sucker for a happy ending. |
Sunshinemiss | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 04:24 pm     I agree with Pay it forward definitely. Didnt need to happen to further the movie. A buzz-kill for sure. A.I. sucked too. Rush Hour 2- I liked the first one, the second would rate in my top 10 worst movies ever! I want my PPV money back! |
Crazydog | Monday, March 11, 2002 - 04:28 pm     Aargh, I consider A.I. one of the most horrifically boring things I had ever sat through. It was so slow and depressing. And then when the ferris wheel fell, I thought *at last* and got up to leave. BUT IT WENT ON FOR ANOTHER !@#$% THIRTY MINUTES. I must be stupid, because I just didn't get it. |
Webkitty | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 01:36 pm     Disapointments for me: Jurrasic Park II (was wild about the original, III was OK) America's Sweethearts Battlefield Earth Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Royal Tennenbaums On the flip side of that I was doubtful of the following but ended up enjoying: The Others Sling Blade Vertical Limit Moulin Rouge We somehow missed AI but it doesn't sound like we missed much!  |
Solidsnake | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 05:15 pm     Crouching Tiger was a dissapointment 4 u ?? |
Webkitty | Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 06:18 am     SS, a little, not a big one, but enough to list it. |
Maris | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 01:38 pm     I was disappointed in Training Day. |
Juju2bigdog | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 03:53 pm     I forgot I'd even seen Training Day until I saw the clips of it at the Academy Awards. Since Denzel won the Oscar for it, I had made a mental note to go see this movie. Then I found out I had already seen it. LOL. Certainly Denzel was great in it and plyaing against type, but the movie pretty much sucked. |
Spygirl | Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 07:54 pm     I have this rented to watch tomorrow in study breaks. |
Oregonfire | Monday, April 22, 2002 - 09:57 am     "O Brother Where Art Thou" was a disappointment for me. I really like the soundtrack, and like the Coen Brothers, but all of those pretentious words streaming out of George Clooney's mouth? I just didn't buy it, and couldn't get into the movie after realizing he was going to talk like that the whole way through. |
Car54 | Monday, April 22, 2002 - 10:14 am     I loved O Brother Where Art Thou! The pretentiousness was kind of the point! I loved the stylized performances, the comedy, the music! I watch it every time it is on cable if I can. Maybe it is because I grew up in a southern family and seems like I know a lot of the "characters" in the story. |
Abbynormal | Friday, April 26, 2002 - 11:17 pm     I also love O Brother Where Art Thou! I bought it. The whole absurdity of it just cracks me up. I love that George Clooney is so obsessed with his hair. My new favorite saying is "Damn, we're in a tight spot". IMO this is a bonafied movie! |
Oregonfire | Saturday, April 27, 2002 - 07:22 am     I went to imdb.com to look at the user comments for "O Brother," and I saw that I wasn't the only one who found Clooney's language a problem. The reviewer's comments: "I wanted to laugh whenever [Clooney] went into one of those pseudo-intellectual riffs, but I couldn't. Something was wrong about them. (The film tried to explain it away later--Everett went up for practicing law w/o a license--but I wasn't convinced. That was just way too convenient storywise.)" I guess it's a matter of perspective: I'm an English instructor, and am used to (and sick of) pretension from grad school, and also know how difficult those words are to use in the correct context. My b*llsh*t detector was going haywire whenever Clooney opened his mouth; thus, I couldn't relax and let myself get into the movie because I kept being reminded that it was a movie. I may be in the minority, but it ruined the mood for me. Give me "Raising Arizona" any day of the week over this film, Coen Brothers at their best! |
Rolandcat | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 11:36 am     Movies I walked out of: Royal Tennebaums-afther 30 minutes I could not care less what happen. Should have walked out: Blue Crush A 5 minute clip made into a 2 hour movie. |
Alegria | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 09:37 pm     I almost walked out of Serving Sara. I like Matthew Perry and was looking forward to a light, summer comedy. The whole thing was so canned & artificial and it seemed like it had been cranked out by the studio. The only thing I laughed at was when Elizabeth Hurley was trying to get some toilet paper from the dispenser to blow her nose with and I went in to this one with low expectations and a tolerant mind. |
