Movies you hate
coldcut:
I read the top part of the news post before the actual comic, and I was so irrationally convinced that jeph was referring to Armageddon, i.e. that asteroid movie with Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler.
God I hate that movie. I think the scene that best sums the whole thing up is when they blow open the "crashed" shuttle with a gatling gun that happens to be mounted on the front of this giant lunar rover. I had seen the gatling gun in a prior scene. I had thought, "what the hell do they need a gatling gun for on the moon?" At best it's useless weight. At worst it's going to tumble said moon rover all over the surface of whatever astronomical body it's landed on via Newton's Third Law. And let's say they do run into some sort of, I don't know, 12 point space deer or other that does need shooting. It's not going to need shooting at 3000 rounds a second!!!
And so here they blow open a space shuttle with a gatling gun. At this point, they've violated enough laws of physics to make the creators of Silverhawks a little edgy, but they just keep managing to surprise me, because at this point, the bullets don't just go in a straight and puncture holes, as bullets tend to do, but actually blow out an entire wall of orbiter. Apparently, the thing was loaded with explosive rounds, which makes even less sense!
Aaargh, that movie drives me nuts! And not in the good, pirate-with-a-steering-wheel way.

I'm fairly certain that, despite Jeph's bringing it up in the newspost, this still belongs in the Movies/TeeVee/Books forum. Thanks.

Oh man, do the way they show lasers and explosions in space in Star Wars and other movies annoy you?
Not me, really. They strike me as going against a lot of known science. This thread could use some movin'.
Blue Kitty:
I would say any movie with Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen in it is on my list. I have already seen more then any person should.
Not An Addict:
American Beauty. It's like spending two hours under an anvil.
