He wasn't Canadian. He'd just told the guy in the jeep that he was Canadian earlier.

As an aside, if you ever hear a UCD fan saying, "You're the Canadian," it's become slang for "You're acting quite stoned, don't you know."

We had 2 B.Comms, 2 B.E.s and an English lit PhD there (if not more), all sober, and we decided after much debate that the movie was ****.

I know you probably didn't mean to come across as an academic snob, but read that gain and see what you make of it

In other news I understood Syriana and thought it was decent enough

Not the point - just pointing out that these weren't a collection of morons who mostly watch love island. Or is pointing out that you didn't understand what I meant academic snobbery too?

I understood what you meant, I was pointing out how you came across hence the words "I know you probably didn't mean to come across as an academic snob"

I think there should be two categories.

Obviously bad films that don't pretend to be otherwise (Dude, where's my car etc)

Films that have pretentions of being good (Signs, The English patient etc )

IMO the the first category doesn't really belong here as they do exactly what they say they're doing. If you watch Dude, Where's My Car you get exactly the film you should be expecting. I've nothing against these films. I won't watch most of them but still

The other kind are films that really really disappoint you. These are films that should be on this list

Thats snobbery of the highest order, who's to say someone who watches Love Island or any of the rest of those shows won't understand Syriana or any other movie, or that their opinion is any less valid than your academic view?

Agreed. Films like "Dude Wheres My Car" and "Deuce Bigalow" probably meet the expectations of those who wanted to watch them in the first place.

Others, like Signs, The Village, and in my opinion Fight Club, think they are sending a message, cloak themselves in layers of supposedly deep meaning, but finally are about nothing at all. These are the films that really disappoint us, I think.

Oh, FFS, opinions have nothing to do with this. Really, think about what that word means, and ask yourself where I dismissed anyone's opinion. And yes, I was snobby there about the TV I watch. Tie that in to academia, and you'll have a piece of fiction worthy of a Nobel prize.

BTW, apologies Dodge, I misread your tone.

Oh yeah. I HATED Fight Club. When it got to the end my reaction was "Oh, for Christs sake. I wasted two hours for THIS outcome.
(BTW I thought Signs was OK - haven't seen The Village.) Another film which came highly recommended to me was The Royal Tennenbaums, which I just didn't get at all.

The 'Leprechaun' series of films are supposed to be rubbish, and it's the rubbishness of these films that make them watchable.

Didn't think the one I watched was that bad, but then I was about 12 at the time.

They always show them on 'Zone Horror' on Sky. I really should be ashamed that I've seen the 1st one 4 times...

Yes, but as pointed out above, you can enjoy these movies for how cheesy they are.
Kind of like dumbed-up versions of Snakes on a Plane.

Incidentally, did you ever notice that Harrison Ford has made the same film dozens of times?

The worst thing i've ever seen was a Silence of the Lambs spoof callled , Silence of the Hams. It was woeful

Lionel Ritchie

Can't remember the name of the film featuring the town which had been closed off because of a fire in a nearby mine and a woman getting up there and losing a child. It was up there with Bad Boys for utterly stupid, improbable plot-lines.

While "cheesy" movies like "dude where's my car" (never seen it ...can't imagine why?:confused:) and Leprechaun are being mentioned -I'll give an honourable mention (seriously!) to the 1993 "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" movie, which while being a silly cheesy pre-teen yoke, had a wit to it that was utterly absent from the later moronic TV series.

I think Euro Trip is a good example of American's taking the **** out of themselves and Europe and everything else. It's actually pretty funny. An underrated film if that 'American Pie' genre floats your boat.

Truly bad films I've seen would include 'The Village', 'The Grudge' (the US version with Sarah Michelle Gellar), 'Jeepers Creepers 2', 'The Ring 2', 'Date Movie' and 'Godsend'.

Most walkouts I've witnessed was 'House of the Dead' in the UGC on Parnell Street. At least half the audience left. It was awful, but, I thought it was awful in a very entertaining way. Any film based on a SEGA arcade game is not going to be a masterpiece.

Bullseye - directed by Michael Winner , do i need to go on ?. Roger Moore and Michael Caine play scientists ? who swap with their identical twins/lookalikes who are con men (also played by RM/MC )in a hilarious comedy/espionge caper.

Twice as awfull as you would think, acting tree like, direction non existant, toe curling puns and talking to the camera. So bad it is good, i might actually buy it for my brother only the thought of Michael Winner/roger moore might recieve a penny from me prevents me.

Anything with Burt Reynolds in it - (excluding Deliverence)

The Ring 2 is an appalling movie. It chucks out a lot of the framework of the first film. Tamara now has pretty much whatever powers you can think of (I'm surprised they didn't stick a machine gun turret on her) and can appear freddie kruger style when and where she likes.

When juxtaposed -the whole "seven days" thing from the first film seems downright sporting of her.

I'm not a big fan of the TV series, but what it lacked in cheese and slapstick, it made up for in dialogue and depth.
