What in your opinion is the WORST movie you've ever seen? I mean relative to how much it cost to make.

Oh yeah, have you seen Metropolis by Fritz Lang? One of my all-time faves, even with the cheesy soundtrack on Giorgio Moroder's version.

That's a really tough one because many of the movies I like would be considered bad but my tastes vary tremendously.

The Fountain-what a waste-it was pretty awful

This would be my choice as far as somewhat recent viewings go. I'll have to ponder it for a bit to come up with an all time WORST.

that super old movie? I have never seen the entire thing, no. I have been meaning to for a very long time.

as far as visual masterpieces go......

I did see Kenneth Anger Volume I

FIREWORKS, PUCE MOMENT, RABBIT'S MOON, EAUX D'ARTIFICE, and INAUGURATION OF THE PLEASURE DOME

I was wowed to say the least. AMAZING

Excelent movie. Even if you don't like movies about class struggle and the proletariat rising up against the bourgeoisie.

...or movies with big symbolic clocks, actors wearing too much eyeliner, and who look like they are about to faint from the effort of showing intense emotion in a silent film!

Another really great silent film is The General by Buster Keaton as star and director, so funny you forget it was made 80 years ago.

Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix sucked ASS. Of course I'm a little biased because it's my favorite book in the series (so far) but even as a stand alone movie it was horrid.

of course this is only my opinion.

I haven't watched any of the Potter movies and I won't.

ok?

brickhardmeat · 07-17-2007, 02:55 PM

oh, just not something I would pick up, not a big fantasy fan at all, gag

I like some sci-fi fantasy like Blade Runner but this is more action/science fiction

Also the movie is extremely mainstream; I will ,but not often, sit through mainstream cinema.

It's not like I have a problem with the occult or anything.

Then have you seen The Ninth Gate? I have not, but hear it's one of the few truly decent movies about the occult.

brickhardmeat · 07-17-2007, 04:13 PM

yes, saw the Ninth Gate but I prefer Satanis

I still haven't sat through the Davinchi Code-boring

Recently seen:
Transformers - I guess the best word for it is exhilarating

Disturbia - starts off like a twisted teen comedy, ends up really really tense!
Evan Almighty - The idea is good, a few laughs, but not that great.
Are We Done Yet? - a decent sequel, funny yet sweet

brickhardmeat · 07-22-2007, 06:36 AM

I watched Alpha Dog this evening, fucking sad story, shit. Sad and true. Grim.

I thought this movie was going to be a real piece of shit and it wasn't.

I saw alpha Dog it was a very sad story
