I know Troy is obviously not supposed to be historical, but it was still funny how all the men had perfectly waxed chests. Also, "you sack of wine" is one of the lamest insults I've ever heard.

Anytime Gerard Butler's character is onscreen in The Ugly Truth. Or The Ugly Truth in general. That movie is just terrible. In Troy, before the bodies get burned, coins are put on their eyes. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure they were actually put under the tongue. There's also a scene where you see a fleeing citizen drag a llama with him. A llama. In Ancient Greece.

This isn't really their fault but what I didn't like about the first Spider Man movie is how The Green Goblin wasn't really that intimidating when he was flying around and causing mayhem. I was 5 years old when that movie came out and the parts where he had the mask off actually scared me. Especially when he just yelled at people.

Last time I saw Into The Wild was in grade 9 and it was only part of it but there's something I still don't get about it. Was the movie trying to make you agree with Christopher McCandless? Even in grade 9, when I didn't know anything about the incident, I knew he was going to starve to death. He makes a big deal about how horrible his life is but he just graduated from university with a law degree and his parents were trying to buy him a nice car. Then he just abandons his family to go into the Alaskan wilderness with almost no gear or any knowledge of how to survive. Plus, he mooches off of people he meets, ignores warnings from park rangers and poaches animals. Then again, I only saw part of the movie so correct me if I'm wrong.

I know Jurassic Park III is a silly movie but even when I watched it as a dinosaur obsessed kid, I thought it was stupid as hell that a 12 year old boy could survive for eight weeks on a dinosaur infested island. Especially with nothing but gas grenades. The Spinosaurus was a pretty kick rear end dinosaur but in that movie, its practically Godzilla. There's no way it could have snapped a T-Rex's neck that easily. Celery Face has a new favorite as of 19:32 on Jun 18, 2014 |

What I'm complaining about isn't a bad thing at all. I have no problem with filming done in my province but man, it's hilarious when a movie is supposed to take place in America but there's Canadian landmarks all over the place. The Fantastic Four sequel is set in New York but oh look, there's the Lion's Gate bridge and an anchor from Global BC. The X-Men sequels are also set in New York but I immediately recognized the X-Mansion as being Hatley Castle.

toxicsunset posted:I too think that the reason that chick in Knocked Up didn't get an abortion was because of a need to placate the religious right and not because the movie wouldn't exist at all if she had because the premise of the film relies on her not having an abortion I can only think of one legit complaint with Knocked Up right now and it's not really the movie itself. It's how Katherine Heigl called Knocked Up "sexist" because her character is humourless and uptight. Which is weird because her character has every reason to act like that in the situation she's in. I thought the point was that the manchild needed to learn to grow the hell up, not that she had to stop being such a "killjoy." It's even weirder that Heigl went on to produce and star in The Ugly Truth and that's a pretty sexist movie. There's this dumb horror movie I watched a long time ago where there's this evil spirit called Jumby. How is anyone supposed to take something with a goofy-rear end name like that seriously?

Some more bad accents: That red haired guy's Australian accent in Pacific Rim. Sean Connery being cast as an Irishman in The Untouchables. Kate Beckinsale's Romanian(?) accent in Van Helsing. Kevin Kline's South African (it sounded more posh English) accent in Cry Freedom. Every time Keanu Reeves tries to do an accent. Nic Cage's Italian accent in Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Morgan Freeman's Xhosa accent in Invictus. Sounded nothing like Nelson Mandela. Tim Curry is pretty bad at accents, especially his Romanian one in Congo, that was hilarious. But the movies he's in are usually pretty stupid anyway so he's forgiven. The Boston accents in Thirteen Days are usually pretty terrible but good god, Kevin Costner's was horrible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tho5ZYLiuoc Celery Face has a new favorite as of 01:21 on Aug 20, 2014 |

So were we.I know The Untouchables is a pretty silly movie but that part where Sean Connery's character takes an entire machine gun round to the chest and is able to drag himself through his apartment, write a note and stay there long enough for his buddy to drive over had my class laughing so hard. It was like he was superhuman. Then there was also the scene were a bunch of guns are fired off inches from a baby carriage and somehow the baby's eardrums are okay. Or when Kevin Costner's character gets away with shoving an unarmed man off a building in broad daylight. Taking that class really made me understand why Kevin Costner's career died. I can't put my finger on why but he's kind of insufferable.

There's this part in Blue Is The Warmest Colour where the main character, Adele is asked by some dude (who is supposed to a stand-in for the director) she just met at a party if she's been with girls for long and if it's different from sex with guys. I can think of at least three irritating moments about this scene. 1. Duh. Of course it is. 2. How does he know if she's had sex with guys before? 3. Who the hell asks a stranger about their sex life? Then there's how Adele automatically becomes an expert on lesbian sex despite being an inexperienced 15 year old. It was also pretty annoying how Adele never chews with her mouth closed. No one wants to watch someone eat like that, it's gross. Celery Face has a new favorite as of 22:19 on Aug 20, 2014 |

When the credits of Frozen hit, I was like "That's it? It would have been nice to learn how Elsa got her ice powers or what happened to Kristoff's parents." Frozen is a good movie. It just doesn't live up to the hype and I don't get why people act like a Disney movie involving a connection between two sisters is anything new when Lilo And Stitch did it so much better. Also, the trolls seemed very tacked-on and Elsa doesn't really do all that much. I just had a feeling that the characters were underdeveloped.

The part in the Carrie remake where Chris says "This isn't over. This isn't over by a long shot." That's so cliche and what kind of teenaged girl talks like that? It's also weird how almost every single student is a complete bullying piece of poo poo. There were spoiled, gossipy bitches at my school but it was just a small group. Chloe Grace Mortez is totally miscast. It's nice that Carrie actually looks like she's in high school for once but she's too mentally and emotionally stable in this movie.

One complaint I have with Prince Of Persia, besides the whitewashing, is that the identity of the villain is supposed to be a surprise yet they casted Ben Kingsley. I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry is probably the most homophobic (the gay characters are all flaming sexual predators) movie that came out in the past 10 years. Then again, it's a Sandler movie and it also has Rob Schneider in yellowface.

The Giver movie is irritating from start to end, mostly because it's boring instead of being so bad it's good. But the biggest problem I had is that they changed what was interesting about the source material and made it into a generic Hunger Games knockoff. And Jonas looks 25 despite being 12 in the book. Then again, they kinda screwed themselves by deciding to make a movie out of The Giver in the first place. A lot of books can't really be translated to film and The Giver is no exception.

HopperUK posted:Yeah, the guy in the movie is stupid and deluded and it doesn't work at all. I don't know why but when a character in something acts very over-the-top suspicious and no one else in the story notices, it's both irritating and hilarious. The Lovely Bones had that problem with the serial killer dude. But on the other hand, it was great when Stanley Tucci somehow got nominated for that role at the Oscar's because right after they played the clip, he rolled his eyes and mouthed "awful" to himself.

It's fine by me, I like Lisbeth Scott and Lisa Gerrard's voices a whole lot. But good god, Crash was just ridiculous about that. It felt like a parody. A lot of the MI6 employees in Skyfall make really stupid decisions but the most baffling one was when M just stayed at the hearing and didn't do anything after learning that Silva escaped and was coming after her. She had no reason to not warn everyone else and get the hell out of there other than "Well, this lady is saying mean things about me and I want to read her a poem to prove her wrong."

Another thing we had to watch in grade 4 was the BBC adaption of The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. It's definitely got a lot of charm to it but there were a lot of stifled giggles at the really fake looking costumes and special effects. Oh, and every time The White Witch opened her mouth. She screamed half her lines at the top of her lungs and popped her eyes at everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT74Q1GW1ns http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0y-DEbMZ6M&t=13m40s Shortly afterwards, the Disney version came out and seeing Tilda Swinton's subtle (but awesome, she was the perfect person to cast) performance was so jarring for me.

If my coworker gave me kisses and backrubs while whispering in my ear about how women are overrated, I'd be more than a little creeped out. Not Othello though.

Like everything on ABC Family (looking at you, Cyberbully), it was clearly written by a bunch of 80 year olds. All the characters ever talk about is sex or some pregnant chick at their school. Obviously, teenagers do talk about sex but not 24/7. There's even an episode where said pregnant chick's father has a vasectomy and everyone at school is talking about it.  I think the best part of the series was when the Christian girl loses her virginity and shortly afterwards, her father dies in a plane crash. Then her Down's Syndrome brother yells at her that "she killed him" and we get this amazing line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvSTLnYW_tQ Celery Face has a new favorite as of 01:28 on Jul 15, 2015 |
