War of the Worlds (Tom cruise) If 'War of the Worlds were to turn into a reality I think it would be a bit different. I think they would prefer to eat rich people. Now I know what your thinking..."Oh geez here goes the rich rant"...no. Rich people can afford to keep preservatives out of their food, can afford cleaning products that are much more effective than their lower class counterparts and can afford top of the line medical care. I'm not saying the poor wouldn't come out without a scratch, I'm just saying. I mean shit, as a kid I liked to eat the marshmallows out of Lucky charms. Sometimes I ate the cereal, sometimes I didn't...but I definitely knew which one was tastier. I should really stop smoking so much...haha
Harry Potter movies (pick any of them)... one prime example of creating a hype by inflating it to a big balloon, and then hearing it deflate with the typical farting sound, as soon as I saw the first of those movies (on TV - I never went to the movies seeing it). OK, granted, having Joanne K. Rowling evolve from rags to riches (she was living on welfare money before publishing the first HP novel) is a modern-day fairy tale and she's lucky to have found her personal pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but the movies still suck, IMO. BTW, I never followed the hype of her novels, either. I neither bought nor read one of her books. Wiggling bare toes, ~*Ganesha*~
I wonder what people will think about the sequels, which Cameron is preparing currently... at least they will be eco-friendly, since he is equipping the studios he just leased for five years to house his new company Lightstorm Entertainment with a solar power array which is meant to provide all electricity for the studio complex formerly known as Manhattan Beach Studios in Southern California. Wiggling bare toes, ~*Ganesha*~
High school musicals Any movie depicting the rise to fame of a celebrity in the past 10 years Any movie with J Lo in it Scarface (I know... I don't care) Any and all of the movies along the lines of "Step Up" "Bring it on" and so on and so fourth I could go on but just risk the possibility of sounding like I dislike all movies. Which I don't. I loved most of the Godzilla movies and batman whin adam west and Burt ward were still in it
The graphics weren't that insaine.. But the part that disapointed me most is that it wasn't the bizarre, trippy journey through wonderland that I expected it to be... They tried turning it into one of those epic narnia movies with battle sequences and stuff. Kind of sad really.. blasphemy I thought the first scary movie was all right.. It was a new idea at the time, and they just focused on scream.. Now those movies are just about cramming as many pop culture references as they can into one movie.
The crap Bollywood pumps out even more curious. Every movie, even if it is an action movie, has a song and dance number What the hell is that?
No Country For Old Men seen it twice and sober, and same thing everytime: first 40 min is good then its just boring and more boring.. never got the hype, not even close, Avatar was atleast Entertaining throughout, it wasnt that insane supreme masterpiece everyone was saying but it was a still good movie and not boring like No Country
The only part I disagree with is that Avatar is a good movie. That being said, my next one is: Avatar. I am no longer watching movies that look bad because of the hype, cause this one blew even WORSE than the Titanic.
Some suprise choices here.My picks would be the Harry Pothead movies and EVERYTHING TYLER PERRY EVER MADE OR WILL MAKE!
wow, someone else that agrees yes qtmft Also deserving an honourable mention is 300, if for nothing more than the obsurd social comentary, quotes and scene reinactments it ignited in any male under 20 years of age. The coup d'état of the internet forums by the cyber nerds and prebubesant boys, that resulted in thread sized signatures involving looped gif's of 'this is sparta', was terrible =/
