I Don't Like

Tags: 
  • Judge Dredd (though this was hysterical to totally make fun of throughout the viewing)
  • The Man Who Wasn't There
  • Unbreakable aka Unbearable by M. Night Shalaejralekjrfjaslkdjg
  • U-turn (would have left the theater but was there with friends)
  • Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - I heard the DJ's discussing this on the radio this morning, and they pretty much summed up my feelings - why the heck did they need to be running up walls and such? In "The Matrix," there was need/explanation for this; in CTHD there was no need and it was therefore just lame.
  • Magnolia
  • Eyes Wide Shut
  • Nightmare Before Christmas
  • Vanilla Sky/Abre Los Ojos (both)
  • stuff by Richard Linklater - I tried several of them and just could not get into them. Slacker was ok, Waking Life I couldn't finish.

this is by no means comprehensive, although it is heavily anti-tom cruise.

Did anyone like Judge Dredd?

stallone fans? rob schneider was pretty funny in it, too. i think we had gone to see something else that was sold out (maybe congo?), and ended up going to see this instead, not particularly willingly, but because we were bored and in college. Or maybe we went in to congo and it sucked, too, so we hopped theaters. that sounds more likely, actually.

Nightmare Before Christmas ??? really?

yeah, dunno. I think it may have been another one I fell asleep to. just didn't grab me. maybe I was more disappointed, too, because i thought it was a cool idea and it didn't deliver?
