Yup...kudos.

For me it is actually Mimi from Drew Carey...now if that doesnt bring you limp, you got problems. :cool:

So...maybe I am a little rabid when I wont accept a watered down version of that particular legend. But, that aside, Arthur still did suck as a movie. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I like fantasy stuff, too. I think one of the most fascinating characters from the Arthurian Legend was probably Vivien, the Lady of the Lake. Her and the whole mythology surrounding the mythical land, "Avalon."

Although one thing I will say about the new Arthur, the celtic figures like Merlin might have been dressed somewhat accurately, more so than the mythological notion of Merlin being dressed in expensive gowns, etc.

I actually think though the Arthurian Legends, from a fantasy literature standpoint, are a little more interesting than Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or any of the other hugely popular fantasy genres out there because it has more ties to the real world, the downfall of Rome, Christianity, early Britain and northern European life, etc. I think somebody could really make one heck of a blockbuster movie out of the Arthur Legend, if they would just be more intelligent about it.
 
If you want movies that made me literally feel queasy, there's The Pianist and Farenheit 9/11 (a Saudi Arabian getting his head chopped off on camera? Ewww!).

As for bad movies... I've seen plenty. I can't particularly recall them, though - I tend to block boring films from my memory.
 
When I think of movies that made me puke, I usually think of comedies that sucked...

Porkies
All the Police Academy films
Still Smokin- the terrible Cheech and Chong film
 
Seven

...made me want to puke anyways. I detested that movie. The only one I can think of right off the bat.

The Pianist? Really? Why?

Jallman, the way Marines have to live when deployed, you would absolutely love to be one of those "Don't ask, don't tell" kind of guys for a month.
It would be like Me and 'Cherokee' hanging out in the girl's locker room and shower and nobody noticing.

Did someone say hang out in the girl’s locker room?
How many girls (over 18 years old) are we talking about? 15, 20?
Gunny and me don’t have to stand next to each other right?
No? Ok I’m game......ahhh to be in a sea on naked women.

Really? I thought that was a good movie.

I don't enjoy the torture and suffering of people for the sake of telling a story about the torture and suffering of people. I guess that makes me unique because I get that response from people a lot. ;)

I thought that movie was revolting. Literally it made me feel sick and that feeling hung around for more than a day.

The scene where they throw the guy in the wheelchair out the window! :(

Yes, that was horrible. But I thought it was a great film. I found it to be very moving. And I thought Adrien Brody was outstanding.
 
A Fish Called Wanda was singulary THE worst movie I have ever seen and unfortunately, I paid to see it in a theatre. It came recommended by my friend's friend, but we sat there thinking she'd lost her mind-and we sat there thinking at some point it has to get better, but it got worse. And that's no mean feat for a bad movie to continue going downhill.
Tried to watch Fight Club this weekend. WTF was that??? First off, I can't stand Brad Pitt, so why I even sat down to watch, I have no idea (guess boredom took a new low)

wow. I thought it was just a movie about a serial killer.

I see them (the victims) as evidence and not a person. I know it sounds cold but It’s a separation you have to make to stay sane.
I will admit I can’t maintain that wall when it comes to a child.

So I guess you're not into "Resevoir Dogs"?...:2wave:

No, I like Reservoir Dogs. But it is not a story told just to portray a man's ear being cut off, if that is the part you are referring to. I don't object to violence in movies, per se. Goodfellas is one of my favorite films of all time, and it certainly has no shortage of violence. In particular, I do not like movies about serial killers that dwell on the suffering of their victims. I thought Seven was particularly bad in this vein of storytelling. I mean, not only do you have the excrutiatingly horrible crime scenes, but at the end a man gets handed the head of his pregnant wife in a box. I can't watch these sorts of things as entertaining in their own right....just for shock value. I guess I just have a real good imagination and can fill in the blanks and that bothers me when it seems the only purpose of showing it is so I can fill in the blanks. I'd rather not watch that stuff. Ghost, zombie, monster movies, etc., I do enjoy sometimes, if they're good, because they are pure fantasy. I don't get that same cored out feeling from them.

Yes, Goodfellas was great. How do you think it compared to Casino? I think Casino might have been a little better, personally.

Me, not so much. Casino was good, but it didn't have that same gritty nostalgia as Goodfellas. I think Goodfellas is Scorsese's finest film. I LOVE Raging Bull, too (most people's pick for his best) but Goodfellas is a damn near perfect film, imho.

Yeah, Raging Bull was pretty good. They not too long ago released a new version on DVD, I might get it.

Have you seen Gangs of New York? Although it might have been a little slow at times, I think it was good because it illustrated a type of gangsters that few other films portray.

I thought Daniel Day Lewis was incredible, but otherwise....ermmmm, not so much. :doh

Did you ever see After Hours or The King of Comedy? Little noticed movies of his from the '80s. I love them both. Very quirky and low budget.

Hmmm, no. I do remember Mean Streets though from the 70's. I don't think it received a lot of attention but I thought it was pretty good.

Yes, Mean Streets was good for its time and place. You can definitely see the beginnings of his style in that film. After Hours is hilarious. It's about a predictable guy who on a whim goes to see a girl he just met in a coffee shop in Soho and spends the entire night trying to get home as calamity after calamity befalls him. I haven't seen it in years, but it always made me laugh my *** off.
