apocalypsosOkay, boosting this from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ashlle1, 'cause I like it lots.
Am feeling vaguely ADD at the moment, so let's play a game. Simple games. Two movies you love, two movies you hate, and why for all of them. And then chitchat in response to other people.
Me first, and I'm going to use other movies than the ones I picked over there.
HATE:
The last two Matrix movies: Wait, I'm sorry. What am I saying? There were no other Matrix movies. There was just that really good movie with neat special effects and an ending with great potential. And then nothing else. Okay, maybe a video game or two, but that's it.
Moulin Rouge!: I'm not sure I should admit that in public, but, oh, did I hate Moulin Rouge! with a passion. I mean, I loved the visuals and I loved the soundtrack, but together ... my GOD, did they grate on my nerves. Plus, Nicole Kidman -- blech.
LOVE:
Sneakers: Look, it's on USA Network right now! And it's got Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Ackroyd, James Earl Jones and River Phoenix. And look, they're all snarky and mysterious. Wheeeee.
Citizen X: Pretty much one of the best made-for-TV movies I've ever seen HBO put out. I really need to watch that again.
Okay, your turn. :)
EDIT: Dear internal organs, behave or I'm selling you all on the black market.

Date: 2005-04-29 02:43 pm (UTC)Love:
Ladyhawke: Never ever EVER fails to cheer me up when I'm in a rotten mood. Cheesy and hokey acting, but I am an ever-loving fool for love triumphing over all.
Bubba Ho-Tep: The title alone gets it mentioned, but it gets better than that. Bruce Campbell is Elvis in a nursing home, dependent upon a walker and with a cancer on his penis. (No, wait, it still gets better.) Ossie Davis is Jack Kennedy (yes, President Kennedy), also in the nursing home. (Wait for it....) An ancient Egyptian mummy, now wandering around in a cowboy hat and boots, is killing people at this nursing home, and only Elvis and JFK can stop him. A rare movie that combines ubercamp/slapschtick with a sweet touch of drama.
Hate:
The Matrix Reloaded: I hated it so much that I refused to see the third movie. Boring, crap acting, stilted dialogue....The first movie had so much potential that it depressed the hell out of me to see how badly that potential got wasted.
The Wizard of Oz: I'm from Kansas. The jokes are old, people, knock it off. The next time someone asks me how Dorothy is or to say hi to Toto, I will rip your lungs out through your nostrils. Or maybe through your toenails. And I think my hatred for the movie comes from all that crap. It actually is a decent movie, with not-too-terrible special effects for the time when it was made. And I love the Wicked Witch. But if that movie fell off the face of the Earth forever more, I wouldn't miss it.
