Marmiteâ„¢ Movies - Donnie Drecko etc.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

"I must have some booze. I demand to have some booze"

how can a person deny a fillum with a line like that in it?

further proof:
"We want the finest wines available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now"

I really could go on but I'll let fiendy take up the cudgle ;D

I'm probably stepping out of a closet here, but I have to say The Matrix.

Yes yes, I know, the special effects were pretty neat-o (leaving aside the way bullets fired from a handgun were seen to be spinning in a very un-handgun-bullet-like way, but I'm a bit of a nerd like that), but the story, the acting, the plot, and generally pretty much everything was utter utter pish.

Also Closure (aka Straighhtheads) - Gillian Anderson and Danny Dyer (him out of Human Traffic), more total and unadulterated pony.

Give My Regards to Broad Street was lifted only by being double-billed with Rupert and the Frog Song - both films complete and utter w@nk, but at least in Rupert you only had to hear Macca's voice rather than seeing his face.

Also not too fond of Mafia/gangster movies, but Once Upon A Time In America remains sheer genius. :D

The Royal Tennenbaums. Depressing as all hell. Why would someone find that funny? It's just very, very sad.

The first one that comes to mind is Dirty Dancing :urff: All my female friends were aghast that I hadn't seen this "film" So I resolved to watch it and see what all the fuss was about. I wish I hadn't bothered. Utterly dull and Patrick Swayze's face freaks me out. He's just...wrong.

I caused a similar shocked reaction at work today by revealing that I haven't seen a single Rocky film.

Let's go for the other side of Marmite too, eh? I'm quite shamelessly fond of Judge Dredd. Utter nonsense and a travestry so far as the source material is concerned, but enjoyable enough hokum all the same.

Waterworld's another I like. (I'm shallow like that - badoom-tssshhhh)

Oooooooohhh yeah - one of my all-time favourites as well. :D

As for rubbish: Branagh's Henry V. I realise I might not have a lot of company in my opinion, but I thought it reeked. :evil:

"There will be blood" - The most tedious film in the history of the universe.

Oh, and... "The man who cried". Hated it. A lot.

I also quite liked the Dredd movie (rumour has it another one is in the pipeline) but the backlash against the film almost put the comic out of business apparently.

I was one of maybe 17 people in the world that saw Ishtar at the cinema. And enjoyed it :oops:.

I'll agree that The Matrix was overhyped tosh.

Withnail is a pure piece of cinematic genius, anyone who says otherwise is just wrong. Fact.

Edit: Oh and mrs fiend shares your opinion of Dirty Dancing Honeythorn. Personally, I think Swayze's character was lucky not to be done as a kiddie-fiddler :lol:
