Or their are movies where the people love it but the critics hate it

I find I'm more interested in the stuff that goes cult, or ends up doing better after the whole theater/critic deal.

American Psycho was one, starting Christian Bale. A number of people I know have never heard of that movie, It didn't do well in theaters, can't recall what critics thought of it, but it got the most attention when it arrived on video (when I first watched it) and it developed a modest cult following.

It was definately unusual, though did have the side effect of a permanent image of Christian Bale's character enthusiastically beheading his roommate throughout my watching of Batman Begins.

I thought American Psycho was rated NC-17 so studios can't release it on theaters and video if it has an NC-17

Don't know. It's considered R over here which just means no kids or anyone under 18, end of story. Apparently it did hit theaters though, but they could have been indys or select art houses or something? Film festival too I suppose. Not sure. It did hit public viewing at some point though.

I think it was because of the 3-way sex scene

Ah. That didn't make it into the video or the later released DVD (at least as far as I know) though I there might be a director's cut lying around somewhere. I remember though that it was very difficult to get at the video store because the copies were frequently rented out. It was on the new release wall, not in any special category or anything, but I had never heard of it before then.

a bad movie i can remember which was a horror was the exorcist D:, i guess im not a fan of documentarys =="

the room
twas laughable "serious" movie

The only Exorcist I know of certainly wouldn't be considered a documentary, or documentary style. Documentary style would be Blair Witch Project.

Oh God I thought the Blair Witch Project was going to be so cool and scary. I watched it in Film Club in High School in the middle of the night in this mini auditorium.

When we finished the movie, every girl and guy was scared except me I was like "How the F*** was that scary? That's just shit!". The only laugh I got out of it was the part with Redneck couldn't be creative. They said it was the scariest movie of all time, and to me I was expecting more.

"IT WAS BULLSHIT"

I can't remember much of it. Only flicked over now and then while watching other shows on TV. There was a bit of suspence at the end but it was pretty mild. It need a lot of suspension of disbelief I think, and for people to actually belief it was a true story.

I did see the second one. It wasn't a great film, but I've seen worse.

People made fun of the ending of that movie and they are hilarious

Which movie? Exorcist, Blair Witch one or Bliar Witch Two?

The Blair Witch Project.


there's a second one?

Does it count if the movie was meant to be horrible?

Like those horror/comedy movies?

If so....Hideous.

I hope I can find that on DVD...

yes just what you think is a horrible movie

Like it was so horrible it was funny as hell.

Little monsters....one just wanted a mommy, but the mommy didn't want it and it got pissed.

The whole Twilight Saga D:
I mean- I didn't like the books, I can admit they were good for some people, but they weren't my style. I'm more of the.. Well.. Life issues, Dracula kind of person, so Twilight wasn't my thing.
(There's a Twilight fan at my school who gives me dirty looks in the hall because I have a shirt that say's "And Then Buffy Staked Edward,The End.")
But the movies were even worse than the books D:

I've never liked Twilight anyway.

There was an artwork at a con of Alucard killing Edward I thought it was Magical.

then Twilight fans got all mad saying that vampires can die. But they forget that Alucard's gun is special as well as the bullets so when he shoots the vampires they STAY DEAD

Well- I never liked it.
But it's like saying someone who is gorgeous is ugly, because you don't like them.
Like you can't deny it.
I mean they're not complete trash, they're close. But the movies are something you fuel the campfire with.
I think even in general it's her real lack of originality.

xD See- it's kind of funny there's actually WEBSITES dedicated to people getting attacked by what they call Twihards~

Personally I was always a fan of old school dracula.. I even own a Dracula graphic novel.. xD

But the point is awful movies! 8D
I think there are lots of crappy movies though.
Like Bride Wars...

Especially with the way they represented vampires is completely opposite to what we are used to

Exactly- Dracula was practically my life- and then along walked Edward Cullen and Stephanie Myers and her sexual fantasy for a book. xD

Sucker Punch.

We had no idea what was going on when it started. Then we /thought/ we knew what was going on. And when the end rolled around we had no idea again. x.x'

There are many interpretations to that movie, I like the theme but confused me on what theme was clear. they said it was Steampunk 50s. But it looked more like Dark 1920s-30s theme. And I couldn't understand what her fantasy was as well as we have no idea what she dances like all we know that it impressed people, she could do the achy breaky heart dance and people would be impressed by it.

I thought it was good until the ending was a disappointment.

I absolutely HATED where the Wild things are... They RUINED it!!! >^>

Vampires cover a lot of territory so it's hard to talk about what makes a real vampire and what doesn't. Making a vampire that's different from the old aristocratic style (ie. Anne Rice, Dracula), can work in Meyer's favour as much as against her. People can get sick and tired of the same old vampire styles (I've heard rants against the noble type for being overused, which one can argue has been around since the late 1800ds I imagine). I wouldn't say there is an old school Dracula though, as there really is just Dracula, ie, the figure in the Bram Stoker novel, and lots of speculation as to who Stoker may have been referencing when he thought him up.

Sucker Punch is on my list to watch. My brother thought it might be something I would like as it appears to be something of a mush of genres and ideas.

Cowboys and Aliens is apparently not bad, and I intend to see that too though as a renter since I don't bother with theaters much. I heard it was fairly true to the atmosphere of the old west, until the aliens appears, which is what I would hope for. It's only the assumption that aliens never bothered showing up until mankind moved into the 20th century that makes the film concept seem wierd or silly.

Yup, there is. It's not bad, and it tosses the whole documentary thing for the most part. It follows what's going on in the characters' heads throughout the aftermath of their hanging out in a particular area of the wood, along with bits ans pieces of home video that they have.

ok, I'll have to see it

I'm watching it now, and it seems boring, just like the first one. But it doesn't look like a documentary basis. It's like a regular movie about a group that's doing a documentary

It's not a great film but I wouldn't classify it as horrible. I'm one of those people that does stuff while watching movies though, so I can handle boring parts well enough. There aren't many movies that I sit and watch just to sit and watch. I usually have something else going.

I do that to most of the movies I have, I use it as background noise

Watching The Wolfman (2010) since it's not TV rightnow. Seems alright so far but something about it is definately rubbing me the wrong way. Not totally sure what it is. Doing a good job of being creepy though. Reminds me an aweful lot of Bram Stokers Dracula, but not really in a good way, complete with Anthony Hopkins. Not mindng Hugo Weaving's character so much, and I like looking at the horses. ;).

EDIT: well, now that I've stayed up to an ungodly hour given when I have to get up I may as well say that the movie wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it actually, the action at the end in particular. It was predictable and exceedingly typical of Gothic movies but I wouldn't call it horrible myself. Though to each their own of course.

On Twilight: There is no way, biologically, that Edward could have gotten Bella pregnant.

Sperm is only viable for a max (if you're lucky) 2 or 3 days without it being frozen....which didn't happen. I know Edward can't be that cold or they would've never been able to finish sex (let alone the biological reasons he wouldn't be able to have sex). Since Edward was changed into a vampire in the early 1900's....way before the time he met Bella....his sperm would have already been useless and he wouldn't be able to make more since he is technically dead.

So that baby is completely illogical even without the weird powers and the growing very quickly and all that shit. Not that anything about that series was logical anyway...-read ALL the books-

I read twilight and friends when they were coming out, for one reason: I knew it was becoming a fandom, and I would need the knowledge to combat it.

Also, I made a girl break down and start crying and near-convulsing once XD She hadn't read the last book, and I said Edward dies, and first she was pissed off and threw a beaker in the science lab(empty, thenk the gods), then started sobbing uncontrollably, then had like...an obvi-fake mini seizure(That part wasn't funny, I thought she might have been actually seizing and went into medic mode), then screaming and howling about how wrong it was.

This chick was 18.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to read books or watch television <.<

Then their are middle aged women who reads that shit too

My favorite is this one lady online who was freaking out because her husband walked in on her doing some...uhm....nasty things to some Edward Cullen merch XD

People at work like that crap. One of the teachers has a Twilight mug in the staff room. Oh the will power I use not smashing that thing.

I was in my senior year of High School when the first twilight came out, I didn't notice the bombshell of Twilight Merchandises running around in school (we were going to the High School Musical phase). It's not until I went to college and saw junior high girls carrying, as well as college women having Twilight Backpacks, notebooks, and folders.

I got sick after that

I don't get it.

If you're going to fan-gasm, why not over real romance stories? Why not go all out for Hamlet? I rather enjoyed Hamlet o.o

well, they want more of the present time romance as well as Hamlet's story telling is more old English/hard to read than what present authors write (and I've never read Hamlet in school)

Hamlet isn't old English, though I assume you mean not contemporary. :). It's not something I would have thought of as a romance story there Hermes. That's curious.

I saw some pieces of the Twilight films, nothing really special in my opinion, though my sister did read the books and said they were entertaining for light, brainless reading. Haven't bothered with them myself as they just aren't my thing. Spying a rack of bookmarks and posters, t-shirts etc in the mall and stopped and had a lot. The main thing that went through my mind was that Edward just wasn't that cute. I said as much but there did not appear to be any twilight fans in the vicinity.
