Jeff has apparently mistaken me for The Rock.
Which is ludicrious.
Now, I'm going to go and cook something.

Whoa, MIB. What other months-old thread have you reignited? And who said this thing about ID4 being a classic? You saying Bill Pullman is in the same league as, say, Jimmy Stewart? Oh, by the way, Malnurtured Snay, take a peek at the "Unbreakable" thread in this section. You never responded to be "MeGotBeer" bashing I gave you there so long ago.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I rented that movie with high hopes. The fact that the story was told in a first person perspective and the person who was telling the story was stoned through out the ENTIRE movie made it rather painful to watch. And boring. And vomit inducing. Yeah. It was a vomit inducing experience!
One movie I noticed that nobody mentioned was The American version of Godzilla made back in, what? '96? '97? Terrible movie. ick...
What about Blade? What the hell was that about? There were plot holes large enough to fly entire planets through in that movie.
You're complaining about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas having too many instances of drug use in it? I suppose you thought Apocalypse Now spent too much time in that dreary Vietnam place.

No. Not that it had to much drug use in. My bitching stems from the fact that the narrator in the movie was stoned out of his mind through out the entire movie. There wasn't a single moment in which he was sober. This, plus the fact that the movie made no sense to me whatsoever and that I didn't pick up any clear point to the movie.

Don't remind me MIB, I spend 12 Canadian bucks to watch Gozzila 2000.
Oh my gawd! That film was sooooooo horrible, and the dub don't even match!
I don't know what I was thinking when I bought the ticket!

And this still doesn't explain why Jeff thinks that I am the peoples champion at any rate.
I think there's a place in this world for big budget films with paper-thin plots, paper-thin characters saying mildly amusing lines, and over-the-top set pieces where the SFX cost more than most countires GNP in a year.
I just wouldn't make them my favourites.
I'm also trying to come up with some sort of defence for liking the Powerpuff Girls and Transformers, and failing. Damn you all. Just Bring It!

Well Godzilla 2000 was an obvious attempt at camp (for a detailed discussion on what is "camp" just watch the simpson episode with john waters).
As such, though I didn't watch Godzilla 2000 (but i did see reviews and commercials), it appeared to me that it was a throwback to the Godzilla movies of yore. You know, cheesey costume, weak fx, and a yes, bad dubbing. But hey, some people get their jollies from that. I'm guessing it was playing to that crowd (i.e. the mst3k groupies).

Although I wouldn't scream and cry if I saw it happen in the film, I think now the images of buildings blowing up would bring back memories of September 11... Which is why FOX did not show it the Sunday after.
