Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler OT - Worst Movies

blue crush? ray, aint that the movie with all those bikini wearing teenage girls? OK, now we know why you liked it. eye and ear candy, eh? good excuse

but i agree with what you are saying. movies that i wouldnt have even glanced at before, now i have a genuine interest in. in fact, we were lookin at movies to rent the other night, and i picked one up and said, "honey, how bout this one". her reply, "marisol told me that movie sucked".. my response, "yea, but i bet it sounds good on the stereo". i got no reply, but the roll of her eyes was enough. we ended up getting the movie 'garden state', which was very good BTW..

Oh. I did like that movie. Of course, it has Natalie Portman in it so I'm likely to enjoy it anyway. The shot over the pool at night was great cinematography.
Anyone see closer? Was that any good at all?

Ray where did you pick up the YES dvd? How much $?
I won tickets to a YES show when I was about 14. They sounded horrible but the stage show was incredible. They were on a rotating stage, with a huge rotating star of lights above the stage. The arms of the star came down and surrounded them for the finale. 2nd best stage show I've ever seen. 1st would have to be Pink Floyd.
Sorry for the hijack.

You can get it at Amazon.com (mine's on it's way to me now. I ordered it Sunday after watching one song from the show which was included on the Magnification DVD-A).

BTW, bray, when did you see YES? They're obviously known for great performances, so if they were playing badly, I'm wondering if it was during one of the dodgy eras in their ever-more-complicated lineup history...

bigjohn - bikinis??? young girls???? How did I miss that? GREAT LFE. Strap yourself in. If really lousy movies disturb you, keep an airlines barf bag or two handy.

Brady, because of what I described relative to music/concert videos, I have had to resort to the Blockbuster and Netflix mail thing to get some of the DVDs I want to watch. The stores just don't have this kind of stuff available to rent. Another interesting source of DVD material is the library system. Even though Rochester is NOT a metropolis, there are over 7,000 titles in the County Library, and they'll transfer between branches so you can pick up a title at your local branch.

I got the YES concert from the library system after reading rave reviews about it. It was excellent.

It was probably betwwen 1978 and 1980, I dont remember for sure. Ive toasted a lot of brain cells since then.
I do remember my date was EXTRA HOT! Do I get a bonus for that?

Talking about hotties, was it me or the orchestra on the Yes DVD concert was full of hotties?

Garden State is definitely my new favorite! Zach Braff is a genious, I believe he wrote, directed and starred lead. Natalie Portman was superb as well. Great subtle humour. Sorry, about the hijack, we're supposed to be discussing terrible movies here.

I'll throw another suggestions in the "terrible" bin, Weekend at Bernies II (i mean come on the first one was funny but how many jokes can you make about dragging a dead guy around?).

Jaime, you are correct about that. However, I should also explain that at my age, a "hottie" extends to any female that is less than 12 hours dead.

In reply to:

less than 12 hours dead

---

after 12 hours, she is no longer considered a "hottie". by that time, she is just "luke warm".

i 2nd the bernie II movie. oh, and i just remembered another stinker.. 'battlefield earth'.. and the funny part is travolta truly believed this was his masterpiece. he was a co-producer, and assisted in the screen play. this one is quite a terd.. sorry to any scientologists..
