I’ve seen the first one more than once.
In a similar vein, I actually kind of liked Red Riding Hood. It wasn’t a cinematic masterpiece, but it wasn’t bad at all.
Wait, what’s wrong with Blue Crush? It doesn’t have Paul Walker in it like Into The Blue does, but I didn’t know people hated it.
Hate’s a bit strong, but I really, really don’t like it.
When and on what channel? I’d’ve given it a shot.
That’s an amazing film. I’ve never heard anyone who’s actually seen it say anything bad about it. Seriously people, you should watch the Alamo.
“I wanna warn you all, I’m a screamer…”
“They’ve killed me, David.”
That movie was horrible. Just horrible.
My contribution - Savage Garden
Console yourself with the greatness of The Russell Crowe Show.
Oh that’s easy to understand. First of all, Pam Anderson in leather corsets 15 years ago was something worth looking at twice. The premise wasn’t terrible, A Casablanca remake set in a dystopian future could totally work. The film then proceeds to execute everything completely wrong providing some great unintentional comedy. Also, Barb Wire doesn’t disappoint, no one expects a movie starring Pam Anderson to be brilliant, they expect her to bounce around in sexy outfits.
The “Seinfeld” finale and I’m very disapointed that Elaine’s blurting, “I love you!” during the airplane’s plunge has been edited out the syndicated version.
I thought Blue Crush was relatively well reviewed when it was released. It’s at 61% positive on Rotten Tomatoes, pretty good for a surf movie.
I liked it as well.
Nice one.
I’ve read Tommyknockers multiple times, have fond memories of Logan’s Run, and didn’t mind the Seinfeld finale, although I was a little disappointed.
Other things that came to mind were Budweiser (hardly unpopular, but I’ve seen it disparaged a lot on this board-- drinking it around here causes comment, too); Keanu Reeves’ performances in As You Like It, Dangerous Liasons, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula; and Tom Wolfe’s The Man in Full.
None of these are favorites, but I like or liked them OK. Probably not a controversial list but I’ve been annoyed in the past by how often they got bagged and didn’t really understand why.
Here it is: Lawrence Welk, yup…ah one and ah two…
In the early sixties, Lawrence was one of the first to sell High Fidelity recordings of his music. I loved the sound of the accordions and trumpets and trombones. In fact, I slept in the lower half of a bunk bed and I rigged two 12 inch coaxial speakers to hang from the top bunk and face right into my ears. My dad had a very expensive reel-to-reel tape deck out in the living room and I tapped into his amplifier and routed the signal to my bunk bed, just to hear Lawrence Welk. That was the beginning of my life in high end audio. Of course I went on to appreciate all the good music of the 60’s and 70’s and now classical and jazz, but I still have a soft spot for Lawrence and all his musicians (who were true musicians).
All About Steve was a sweet movie with interesting characters and a genuinely positive message.
I think Ultraviolet is a great, stylish action flick and was seven kinds of cool.
It doesn’t matter that it’s retarded or doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense, because it’s visually stunning and that’s all it really aims to be. The woman has an hyperspace arsenal and a gravity switch. She drives motorcycles up the sides of buildings. What more could you possibly ask for ? What’s that ? A… plot ?
Elitist.
Seeing Big Trouble in Little China and Logan’s Run mentioned as movies people don’t like surprises me. I like both of them a lot.
I also like Starship Troopers (and yes I have read and loved the book).
A more guilty pleasure for me is the American Pie movies. The quality varies a lot but I have enjoyed all 5-6 of them I’ve seen.
I love the book. The TV-movie… heavy sigh For one thing, they horribly miscast the part of Gard. Jimmy Smits??? Seriously? Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good actor, but that part demanded Sam Elliot.
Yeah, Voyager had its clunkers, but so did every other Trek series. OTOH, it had Bride of Chaotica!, perhaps one of the greatest stories the franchise ever produced.
OK, my picks:
Old school … 1941.
Modern … Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
(Hey, Khloe makes me laugh…)
I wasn’t expecting anyone to beat me to Ke$ha, but I’ll add Linkin Park.
I liked Married With Children, in fact I still do. I laugh like a lunatic at least once every episode. Christina Applegate is one of the most beautiful women on TV, ever, an added attraction.
Films:
Paul Blart, Mall Cop
Judge Dredd
Waterworld
Dune (what’s even worse, it was the TV version where the network re-cut the theatrical release to put the scenes into chronological order:eek:!)
Top Secret (starring Val Kilmer) which I mention only because the director said on the DVD commentary he thinks it’s one of the worst films he’s made.
None of these films I consider high art, but I enjoyed them very much and would definitely watch them again if they came on TV and I had nothing important to do or wanted to put off doing housework.
OK, here goes…
I really like ALL the Star Wars films.
I, too, like the Pina Colada Song.
All the Matrix films, yup.
70’s soft rock rules OK.
I listen to (and play) dixieland jazz. I won’t wear a straw boater, though.
I think accordians can be pretty cool.
I listen to Meat Loaf.
And Madonna.
And disco.
I love 80’s (and current) hair metal. Especially Motley Crue.
How 'bout this: the movie Streets Of Fire. Got the DVD and the soundtrack.
I liked the Starship Troopers movies (well, the first and third one; the second one is shit)
I like Everybody Loves Raymond (flees the SDMB lynch mob)
And I like the Star Spangled Banner as the American national anthem! 
I’m not the first one to mention this but… I like Barry Manilow.
