Paid Members JLM Posted January 22, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2009 "The Happening" has to take the Razzie. Disaster Movie/Meet the Spartans barely even counts. You can critically pan these pieces of shit as much as you want, but nobody expects anything from them anyway and it almost seems reduntant to point out that they're rubbish. "The Happening" on the other hand was supposed to a be a return to form for the exceedingly overrated Shyamalan, and it was absolute garbage on every conceivable level.

Â I don't think "exceedingly overrated" even begins to cover it. Sixth Sense was great, but by the time Unbreakable came about, you could tell by his press interviews, that he thought he was the "man". The arrogance / complacency is what led to the downward spiral (literally) from the first picture to the Happening. Â I think it is very rare that Hollywood directors "lose" a position, lose the funding from the large studios. Most simply choose to leave the system and enjoy the fruits of their labour / go independent. But I can see M. Night being shafted. How many studios can now cue up to give this man millions? I think the independent scene will come calling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveo2007 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Seven Pounds.. i love Will Smith but could not watch this film again way too depressing Really?  I would have thought it would be one of those films that seeks to inspire and actually cheer you up after you've had a good cry.

Paid Members JLM Posted January 23, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 I finished Heroes, I have no more Weeds until the other box sets arrived and I needed some bed time viewing. God bless you elegia...  The Social Climber  Jennifer Love Hugetits (LOL!) stars in what moronic critics quoted on the cover have described as "Clueless for the twentysomethings" and "Sex and the city meets Bridget Jones' diary". I take issue with both of these comments. Firstly, I'm a twentysomething and I like Clueless. The film really isn't much like Clueless at all. Alicia Silverstone in Clueless actually is a spoiled rich girl, whereas Jennifer Jugs Hewitt (LOL!) is one of those wannabe socialite types who desperately tries to keep up a facade of wealth and sophistication. Second, the only connection to Bridget Jones is that they have this tacked on gimmick where she occasionally documents how much she has spent on a particular scheme in a narrator type fashion, and she is supposed to be reading this from a tax return diary thing as suggested by her accountant (who is in prison, being regularly raped if the very subtle implications in the movie are to be believed). Also, no critic should ever use that "... meets ..." device. It's really rather lazy.  I must say, she has been blessed with a more than adequate set of chest pillows.  I presume this is taken from the book on which this masterpiece is based. I never, ever want to read this book. The only connection to Sex and the City is, again, the annoying narration. Also she has two insufferably clich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Moon Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I hate the "English" release title of that movie. I was quite the JLH fan a few years back so got the DVD from the states. I was even a member of a JLH fan forum where some guy from the UK called "Trotter" would daily post pictures of her with love letters etc...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) So it's a painfully cracked-forumesque length set up for a Mastercard Advert payoff, with tits? Â I'm there. Â Â Go on. Pass the DVD on. You're done with it now. Â Â Â edit: And now I'm reading the wiki page on the Mermaid Problem from Full Moon's sig. This is a good morning.

Paid Members JLM Posted January 23, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Aha, I have read up on it now. It was made for TV. I am eagle-eyed indeed. Â The full title is Confessions of a sociopathic social climber". That doesn't make it any better though. Still, y'know, boobs and that. Â Hage, the DVD is mine, I will be making full use of the chapter selection function. Â Hage, write up "The Birdo problem" forthwith. She has no orifices other than the obvious, and that can't be how you make whoopee. Please clarify. Edited January 23, 2009 by JLM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2009 I think it may actually be that simple... after all, that's where her eggs come from as well. It seems logical to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
