I loved Forever Knight, but not the way it ended.

I walked out on Saving Private Ryan after 15 minutes.  Everyone else in the theater was glued to their seats.  I thought those were the worst 15 minutes I'd ever seen on the screen.

I watched Saving Private Ryan on cable one morning.  It is one of the most depressing films of the last few years.

Ditto Children of Men.

Everybody says that, but no one seems to have a good idea for how it should have ended.

Nick becoming mortal? He would never be able to handle it.

Marrying Natalie? It wasn't a soap opera!! Natalie becoming a vampire? She'd never be able to bite someone (which she might have to do in an emergency).

I don't know how I would have ended it either, but I definitely would have left Vachon alive. ;D

I love Saving Private Ryan and thought it was robbed of the Best Picture Oscar, but I do agree that it is definitely one of the most depressing movies ever made. The first 15 minutes of the film are absolutely horrifying, and I never want to see them again.

OOOH, this is fun!

-Survivor (did watch the first year)
-Desperate Housewives (did watch the first year)
-Rap/Pop music
-ANYTHING by Celine Dion  :-X
-David Letterman (especially his early years, he was horrid to his guests)
-The Bridges of Madison County (the movie, book wasn't as bad)
-Friends (with friends like those...)
-Everyone except Kramer on "Seinfeld"
-Anything StarTrek unless it involves the original cast
-Anne Rice (except her Sleeping Beauty porn, that was all right, for porn!)

I bought my husband the DVD of Pirates, Dead Man's Chest for X-mas.  I fell asleep in the middle of the movie!  DH and kids woke me after about 5 minutes, but I thought it was boooring.  I liked the Black Pearl, and I'm sure I'll watch the third one because I did like the ending of Chest with Barbosa returning from the dead.

If you're going to tell the ending of a movie that's just come out on DVD please add a ***SPOILER ALERT*** to your post. Everyone may not have seen it yet.  >:(

Maggie Gyllenhaal. I can't stand watching any movies with her in them because I find her so annoying and strange-looking. Her face looks like the Joker from Batman. And she's got that nails-on-a-chalkboard voice.

I feel that way about Leonardo DiCaprio. Can't stand the guy long enough to watch his movies. Oh, and John Travolta, too.

Wait! That makes me remember... I can't stand Grease!

I didn't like Crash, The Hours and The English Patient (what a snoozefest this last one was). I also thought Children of Men was overrated.

I found Children of Men to be utterly depressing.

With me, if I like something-a food product, movie, book, TV show, anything-it's bound to fail in the marketplace. It never fails.

Conversely, if I loathe something, it will be mega successful (see : Titanic,  James Bond books and movies, the X Men trilogy (ugh!), Anne Rice (never have liked anything of hers), the Planet of the Apes anything...

They should use me as a product tester, but in reverse. If I like it, cancel; if I loathe it, market like crazy.

Speaking of things one likes/dislikes : My DH and I  were talking about an old song both of us remembered , but we can't think of the name, the singer, or enough of the lyrics to google. It's a country song, and it's about a girl on her wedding day who gets a bouquet of roses delivered to the church. There's a note with it, and she reads it. The note sounds at first like it's from an old boyfriend who still loves her but couldn't bear to go to the church and attend the wedding-but then it becomes plain it's from her father, who arranged to have the flowers delivered after his (obviously expected) death. It's driving us both crazy. Anyone have the name of the song  or of  the artist?

The American "Godzilla" Movie. All this hype that got me so excited to see a modernized version of Godzilla.....and I got a wannabe T-rex!

That. Iguana. Is. Not. Godzilla. Godzilla does not run around buildings, HE PLOWS THE **** THROUGH THEM! Godzilla does not run away from helicopters. HE BLASTS THEM OUT OF THE ******* SKY! Godzilla can not be killed by a couple of missiles. HE CAN REGENERATE HIS WOUNDS INSTANTLY!

The movie was fun as a monster movie, but not as a Godzilla movie. On the Godzilla board I go to, they call that creature GINO(Godzilla In Name Only) or "Zilla". I even wrote a fanfic where Shezilla beats Zilla up because he annoyed me so much. :P


Totally agree! We only went to see it because (1) we thought the Taco Bell chihuahua might have a cameo and (2)  for that scene where Godzilla's foot comes crashing through the museum roof and flattens a T Rex skeleton. We saw it at the theater, we underwhelmed-and as we were driving home, we realized the museum scene was cut from the movie!!! Why have a scene cut from the film in the TV ad for the film?!?! Never have bothered to see if the scene was restored to the DVD release.

Re: Saving Private Ryan

I guess you can say I've seen it but I only properly saw the first fifteen or thirty minutes because after that my roommates BF came in and proceeded to talk through the rest of the movie. We spent the whole evening arguing about the movie and its accuracy. But of course I'm a GIRL and cannot POSSIBLY know anything about this and he persisted in this attitude even after I showed him the large stack of books on the subject that were sitting next to my desk. I was beyond annoyed. As for the movie, I cannot say I was too much impressed with it, it seemed awfully cliched to me, but the circumstances in which I saw it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Sometimes gets me in trouble too
But the truth is I could no more stop dreaming
Than I could make them all come true.
