Kevin's Watch

It seems I'm the only one who overrates it. Heck, I even made a thread for it. At least a few others liked it.

I thought Troy was rather good, Fist, if that makes you feel any better.

Fist darling, we all have different tastes etc and that's what keeps life interesting isn't it? I am sure I probably loved some films that you found to be trite or boring or horrible....

Yes, LM, I saw as I was reading the thread.

Jenn, I'm just playing around.

Agreed, i liked it aswell.

ROTFL! I still have that pic taped to my monitor at work.

And then there was Brad Pitt: *runrunrun... POSE!*

Such things truly test the limits of my Loving nature. How one can have such a name, and such an avatar, yet be so horribly backward about this movie... *sigh*

I neither hate nor love the movie, I'm ambivalent about it. You of all beings must recognize that an emotional connection is required before anything else can have meaning, whether it's a connection between a deity and the worshipper or between a movie and the viewer. Why do I suddenly sound like Yoda?

Anyway, like I said in the Brokeback Mountain thread, I have a similar problem with Crouching Tiger. I could not connect with the characters.

You know, considering all this, the only Ang Lee film I can say I really warm to remains Sense & Sensibility. (I didn't see The Hulk because the CGI of him looked bad to me.)

I was joking with you, man! (I think I'm gonna need that Prozac myself.)

I respect your passion for this movie, Guns. Hey, glad it worked for you!

Personally, I liked much better Scorsese's other period drama, The Age of Innocence. I consider it an underrated movie.

Hate to say it, but the 1933 version of "King Kong" - yeah, so it had "ground breaking" SPFX....THEN. I hardly rate the damn thing now, when you see such amazing CGI these days. (And Fay Wray's shrieking was ghastly! They gave awards for acting like that??? )

Old movies are OK, but crikey, they could never have made Lord of the Rings before the turn of the millennium!

Agreed about King Kong. Not a single version of that movie is worth a damn, IMO.

Are you suggesting a thread about how bad something is should not include opposing views? At the Watch?!?? I don't think so!

I hope that's not what Damelon is suggesting...unfortunately, to me it seems he's suggesting not only that, but also that Cail and I are somehow remiss in our duties by not steering this thread back on course. Trust me, that's not the case, Damelon.

I will admit that I do take a certain satisfction in bashing the Matrix movies.

Do you mind? I'm trying to make Damelon scared of us here.

I can fix that, just let me post a pre-coffee and pre-shower pic.

VERY scary, I assure you.

Well Cail....waiting for the pic....

Good lord, go take a freaking cold shower, ya damn perv!

He said it was scary! I like scary things! Especially scary films, and on that note I would like to add that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is overrated.

bloody hell.......smart move getting back on topic, you.
