Terrible Movies Thread
onewheelwizzard:
Southland Tales is so terrible it made every other movie I watch worse.
mrjoegangles:
I don't think Nathon Fillon can do scary... case in point White Noise 2.

There's a second one? That is completely unnecessary. Really. The first one was a disappointment.

There were maybe one or two(at best) talented actors actually performing well. Overall, I thought it was cheesy, and cliche. Or maybe I'm just immune to tragic love stories that somehow involve lots of black, and men wearing makeup because of my lacking generation.

Eh? If you're watching movies like The Crow for the dialogue you're probably doing something wrong. The dialogue in the Crow isn't particularly awful anyway. There's a few bits that are even good, I always liked the bit with the Milton quote. Oh, and pretty much everything Top Dollar says, because he's so fucking over the top. Which is really the point of The Crow. It's very over the top. It revels in being completely fucking over the top. That's one of the major changes from the comic (the other being that Eric isn't quite so utterly, frothingly insane in the film*), which was quite gritty and realistic. But I rather think the studios balked out at the idea of a guy in pure white make-up slaughtering a load of black crack dealers, which is why they re-invented Top Dollar and his gang as some sort of insane goth mafia. Then they made Eric a rock musician (He's some sort of not that well off white collar worker in the comic). Then they turned everything up a few more notches, and it works. If you don't get it, that's fine, but to blame the movies popularity on 'Hot Topic' is ridiculous. I've never even seen a Hot Topic store in my life, and you don't have to wear black to like it. It's a solid action flick with bucketloads of style.
*I kinda wish they'd had some of that sort of dialogue in the film though "I AM PILOT ERROR! I AM FOETAL DISTRESS! I AM MORPHINE FOR A WOODEN LEG!"

Nathan Fillon shouldn't do scary. He should stick with western style action/comedies set in space. Really.
