Tried writing this last night, but the forum died on me, another try now...
So I'm back to spamming a little again...
I'm addicted, what can I say?
Actually have a morning meeting tomorrow, so I really could use some sleep, but the damn heat is killing me...
I've seen some references to movie addiction in here, and I'm always into talking about movies, will make a try with this thread
To stat off with, three very overrated films that I', almost the only one to say they sucked real bad!
1) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
2) Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
3) Being John Malkovich
About 1) then.
I was about to turn this movie off after the first 3 minutes, but I thoght to myself "it can't be like this all through the movie..."
Oh how wrong I was! I think that it got even worse!
Strange thing is though, I seem to be the only one that actually really really hate this film. Most others seem to think that it rocks and kick ass and everything.
I don't know, maybe I'm stupid or something...
About 2)
It's one of the vey very very few films in my life that I've turned off and not watched until the end.
Maybe it gets better after the first hour? I don't know, couldn't bear more than about 55 minutes...
I can take a lot, but to wacth these "fight scenes", no way!
Seems I'm about the only one here as well that does not think this is one of the best films ever...
About 3)
This was a real waste of my time!
Ok, so I got to see the film for free on a preview at the cinema, still I wish I hadn't! God damn it sucks! Horrible story, bad acting, no humor.
Maybe it's me again, that I don't have any sense of humor, because once again, most people seem to think that this one is great...
Now to two films that I think is better than the poor reviews they've got.
a) Starship Troopers
b) Mangler 2
About a)
I think this is an excellent Sci-Fi movie! Good special effects, good acting, a story that does not "stray".
Sure it's a lot of Nazi-lookalike shit in there, but I still think that it is in a humourus way. They make fun of the American "we are the best and will kick everybody's ass" kind of war mentality. I just love this film
There are a few poeple that agree with me, but most seem to think that this is real trash...
About b)
Sure, it's a horror film taht does not have that much potential.
But to get stuck at the number 3 place of the bottom 100 films ever at imdb???? That is not fair! It's not that bad!
I can say several horror films that are much worse, and I will:
Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Scanners, Helloween 3, The New York Ripper, The Mangler (1), Stephen King's Graveyard Shift, Son of darkness, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, and many others...
And that's just in the horror section, there are many others non-horror films that are way worse than this as well.
So if you're a horror fan like me, it's worth watching!!

Feel free to comment this post/thread, that's why I've started it
Love metal, but love films as well.
So to discuss films with people who love metal, and films, would be great
A few things still, movies with songs and or appearances of metal people:
* Jhonny Mnemonic: Henry Rollins starts as "the spider"
* Lost Highway: Henry Rollins plays one of the guards
* Noll Tolerans (Swedish): Correct me if I'm wrong, but do believe that Pain (Peter Tägtgren) has a song playing in this one
* Sleepwalkwer (Swedish): Peter Tägtgren plays sleeping man and has a song specially written for this film.
* Strangeland: Film made by and featuring Dee Snider.
* Terminator 2: Ron Young (I), lead singer in Little Caesar plays one of the bicers in the beginning, the one with the pool cue.
* Deadpool: Original set of Guns n' Roses appears as well as the song Welcome to the jungle
* Days of Thunder: Gn'R song (cover) Knockin' on heaven's door plays in the back ground
* Interview with the vampire: Gn'R song (cover) Sympathy for the devil is played
Anyways, I really should stop typing now, but it's so damn hard when you get started...
