Eddie Deezen on the VHS cover, that is a good way to get me interested.

Beverly Hills Vamp also pops up on Netflix fairly regularly. Poor Eddie Deezen appearing on the cover and still not getting his name on it.

The photoshopped smile on that one chihuahua is really unnerving as if a real dog ever makes a face like that it's about to bare its teeth and go for your throat.

All I can think about when I see that first Beverly Hills Chihuahua poster is the goon who kept INSISTING that the "chee'-WOW-wa" part was some kind of play on the stereotypical porn wah-wah guitar lick "bow chicka wah wah." Like that made any sense. "No, you don't get it! Chihuahua isn't pronounced chee'-WOW-wa so that can't be the joke!" Then I think about the goon that insisted the title "Bee Movie" wasn't a play on the term B-movie because it starred Jerry Seinfeld and that doesn't sound like b-movie talent to me! And of course that leads me to remember the goon who demanded that the Perry Bible Fellowship comic about "Giga-knight" was some sort of play on "G-Unit." These forums have created a vast wasteland where my brain should be.

morestuff posted:I remember the great "Harvey Dent is actually alive" wars of 2008 I feel like that's different because, while it's pretty obvious that Dent dies, it's kind of understandable to accept that as a theory. I mean, a bunch of people did. The ones I'm remembering stuck out so much because it was just one person who would really double-down on their lovely and baseless interpretation and insist on its rightness.

My favorite was the goon who insisted there was no racial subtext to the end of Night of the Living Dead when the Black protagonist is shot and killed by rednecks in a truck because they don't realize he's human, in a movie that came out in 1969, because that's just tragic but understandable (possibly even necessary) tactics when confronting a zombie apocalypse.

IIRC even Aaron Eckhart has said he asked Nolan for clarification as to whether or not Harvey survived. In the same vein, there are people who insist that in The Prestige that Borden actually used Tesla's machine. Even though every character in the movie says otherwise.

Anyone can say anything about any movie and you have to accept is as valid. Some people spend 8 hours a day on the internet so they've got plenty of time to write whatever weird garbage they're thinking that day. For example, every thread on this forum will descend into it over and over again.

Ed Wood is by far Tim Burton's best film and it isn't nearly as Burtony as most of his films.

What was the tipping point between "Not Burtony Enough" being a knock against a film, and "Not Nearly as Burtony" being a positive?

In preparation for the 15th Annual 24-Hour Movie Marathon in my hometown, a selecton of "Previously seen at the 24-Hour Movie Marathon" posters. 2008: Iguanas with glued-on-fins at 3.30am. Americans visit a prehistoric planet, blow most of it up. U.S.A! U,S.A!  2006: One of the greatest opening films in Marathon history. A true trash classic. Even after the film broke and had to be re-started forty seconds in.  2012, the final flick. A movie-within-a-movie set in an old movie theater, watched in an old movie theater, 22 hours into a movie marathon. Brains were broken. Well played!  2006 again: The beige-est zombie flick in many a year. Starring a 40-year-old man as a 10-year-old boy with serious maternal issues.  2009: The gratuitous (and copious) boobie shots balanced out the homo-eroticism of ROAD HOUSE nicely.  11 films in, 2007. Total amount of Bigfoot footage? 4 minutes, tops.  2003, 1.30am. Godzilla is a dick to his kid, Minya talks in the voice of Soupy Sales, audience laughs. A lot.  Godzilla vs. Gian kicked off 2012 in a big way. It's ALMOST as good at this *very* alternative poster.

People will fight over when the complaints started to gain ground, but I think that Corpse Bride was the point where everyone finally agreed they were starting to get sick of his poo poo.

If it wasn't Corpse Bride it was definitely Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Either way both of those movies felt like a huge step back into a comfort zone after the very underrated Big Fish.

Slate Action posted:I think Sleepy Hollow was a tipping point for a lot of people, one way or the other. Yeah I've never seen Frankenweenie but starting with Sleepy Hollow everything but Big Fish has been bad to awful. I was almost surprised by Dark Shadows but the last third of that movie turned into complete and utter dog poo poo. e: Corpse Bride wasn't even that terrible, it was just...nothing. I saw it and immediately forgot absolutely everything about it other than thinking it was rather short

I thought Charlie And The Chocolate Factory sucked and am generally lukewarm on Tim Burton. I did just recently watch Ed Wood though and that movie is really loving good.

He's a guy with a fairly distinctive visual style that's made some great films, some OK ones and a bunch of stinkers. I don't think he's the VISIONARY GENIUS AMAZING GOLDEN GOD MEGAJESUS OF CINEMA director he's occasionally made out to be, and Ed Wood and Sleepy Hollow are really, really great. The more recent movies he's made with Johnny Depp can loving gently caress right off, though (please note, that I haven't seen Alice in Wonderland. Everything that I have seen of it, including the above clip, just makes it look so thoroughly unpleasant). I have fond memories of some of the stuff he did back in the day like Beetlejuice, but I don't know if they still hold up.

Previously at the 24-Hour Movie Marathon. Part 2 2013, 5:45am. Grr. Argh. Acne. Moodswings.  2012, 8pm. A prime-time slot for hilariously inept kung-fu.  2009, 3am. I have no recollection of anything on this poster actually happening. Maybe I was abducted by aliens?  2007, 4:35am: They died in a variety of tragic gardening accidents...  2009, 10pm: Wings Hauser as the biggest bastard in Bastardville.  2003: 4am. Ish. It was late enough for a 30's film about syphilis, anyway.

Velvet Smooth was pretty much the knock-off non-union Foxy Brown. The main difference being that in fight scenes, Pam Grier didn't beat people up with the lost art of Mime-Fu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1bEQPkZKRM

I am very, VERY forgiving of even terrible movies, as I just like the experience of watching a movie, but Burtons Alice just left me confused and annoyed. I think my first thought after watching it was "That wasn't even a movie, just a jumbled assemblage of random scenes and ideas that went nowhere and meant nothing." I mean, gently caress, just the fact that they replaced Crispin Glovers body with a virtually identical CGI version simply to make him taller speaks volumes about where the filmmakers head was when making this.
