What the fuck was Battlefeild Earth about? The movie was so terrible it was hard to even pay attention to the damn thing.

The original rollerball is a long and boring ass movie about the bleak future and the eventual coporatization of it. Hell Japan has a corporate anthem in that movie. It really is a dark and sad movie. It was also for women's lib, by showing how bad it could/will be. but it was long and boring.

"the sexual tenderness of a teenage female" ... what the fuck! i was expecting porn! but it was a bunch of kids in a car smoking weed going "dude, dude, dude!" throughout three fucking hours!!! then at the end they drive off and fall down a cliff!!! WHAT IN GOD'S GREEN EARTH WAS IT ABOUT!!!

Thanks to a movie review site, apparently They is about demons that come and drag people off to the Shadow world, or something like that. However, the alternate ending reveals that the main character isn't a Psychology major, she's actually a mental patient, and all the other people in the movies are other patients/doctors.

Now what I want to know is what kind of horrible monster Joss Whedon is for directing Alien Ressurection.

Naked Lunch is based on William S. Burrough's novel about his own life that is made more entertaining by adding in fictional beings to represent what he was feeling at the time... the movie was supposed to have been made in 1959 but they said it was unfilmable...

I'll start: "Naked Lunch" - I won't even try to describe this one... "Brazil" - I dunno, some guy having delusions of grandeur? Somebody help me out!

As of 7 years, I am still oblivious to what Mortal Kombat Annihilation is about.

MAINSTREAM = Schindler's List

Nothing wrong with movies that culminate in drilling a hole in one's head. Pi was alright.

The Ring: If I remember right, the Japanese movies showed that Sadako was not just a ghost, but a ghost that evolved into a digital virus.

Now then, let's all attend a David Lynch marathon, shall we? "Mulholland Drive" and "Lost Highway" ought to really screw with your skulls...

i didn't get 2001: a space odyssey. fear and loathing was cool, but it gave me a headache with all the twisting and turning of the camera.

A.I, i relaly liked that movie but it got REALLY deep and trippy around when the aliens came. *sigh* Id love to meet those aliens, they seemed like such a nice race, and so caring too. all they wanted for David was for him to be happy. they are so cool

Dude, don't bump threads.

DeadlyWarrior Wrote: Dude, don't bump threads.

I dont think this thread is that old. Unless you mean i was going off topic, then sorry. What i meant was that it got very confusing when David was frozen and then woken by the aliens. I didnt really understand much of the movie after that bit.

Well this thread wasn't responded for more than 2 weeks so you're bumping

House of 1000 Corpses was a fucked up freakshow and gave me nightmares... not about the movie but about how fucked up the people who produced it are, including Rob Zombie.

Also House of the Dead was retarded... they did that stupid Matrix spin around like, every 5 minutes, and they... oh I'm not even going to go into it, if I wasn't in a leg cast when I watched it I would've hunted down the people who made it and kicked their asses.

what about van helsing? only movie i ever fell asleep wathcing in the theater. dodgeballs sucked too! Pi was awesome as was AI. check out Requiem for a Dream, and all of Stan Kubrick's movies.

David Lynch takes the cake5 ofr off the wall near unitelliglbel plut twists and screws, but the lesbian/sex scenes are well worth viewing.

i hate that movie dragonfly and proof of life sucked.

the limey and unforgiven rocks

I couldn't understand The Day After Tommorow. I had no idea how a crack in alaska(or wherever the hell those eskimoes were) could cause tornadoes and tital waves and giant blizzards if that was what caused it although that movie wasn't too great. Oh well, better than Passion of the Christ

Belly was crappy.The story has been done millions of times before.

Ok I've seen some bad movies before, but here's one I not onlyy sat through to it's entirty, but hated every second of it:

Earth vs. The Spider

Where to begin...

- Dan Akroyd has a car phone, but it's an actual rotary phone in his car.

- The enitre thing revolved are a super hero with a spider's powers **cough cough Spider-man rip off cough cough**. But due to licensing the called him the Human Arachnid, or something along those lines.

-Piss poor writing. A love story somehow unfold, and ends between two charecters that rearly see each other. Plus too many repeating cliches.

Hell that's enough, I'm not waisting anymore time discribing that garbage.

Although I am a big fan of Lynch's work, I don't think anyone on this site can explain what Mulholland drive is really about (other than pure speculation).


WARNING: the following has minor, vague spoilers



The story as I've heard it, is that David Lynch was really looking to get another dark TV series going again (a la "Twin Peaks") and his idea was for a show called "Mulholland Drive." Unfortunately, no TV networks would pick up the pitch for the pilot, but finally one optioned him to turn the pilot into a film.

Now, we have a dilemma. Lynch only has about two hours to put together an idea that was meant to build over years of meticulous plot development. What you see on the screen during "Mulholland Drive" is essentially the story of the pilot episode. As it goes for most people who have seen it, most can at least "hang on to" the plot for about two hours without becoming completely lost, simply because that was the entire idea for the pilot.

However, once that blue box is opened, the audience is essentially hit with a jumbled mess of spliced together scenes that would have been used to advance the story for years on television. So essentially, the last 20 minutes of the film are a peek into Lynch's mind, and he's the only one who will ever really understand what led up to the end of the movie. Too bad (well, maybe it's good on the other hand) he's the type that never wants to tell the audience what to think about his films.

could any1 give me the 411 on gingersnaps2? i thought the 1st 1 kicked ass!!

The cracking of the ice didn't cause all of the catastrophes, the ice crakced because of the temperature fluctuation that eventually caused the storms.
