apparently produces compact portable bombs that explode like they are fueled by plastique. If only someone had told the ira then they wouldn't have had to ask gaddafi for semtex

Yes the chemical compound of the homemade explosives is the part of tremors that really asks you to suspend your disbelief [emoji57]

Tremors: The Beginning

 

[DotCommunist]

All of the Taken films

 

[AverageJoe]

In a bizarre "art imitating life" move, some-one made a film about Epic Beard Man (the old chap on a bus who punched out a young lad whilst being filmed by two girls). And got Danny Trejo to play the lead.

I havent watched it yet, but I'm gong to....

A very guilty pleasure

 

[Knotted]

Not a terrible awful film, but one that's often thought to be. In fact it's a great film pure and simple. Hawk the Slayer.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck - forgotten I was dragged to see that

 

[Ceej]

Desperately seeking Susan
Weird Science
Flash Gordon
Space Jam

*hangs head in shame*

Has Zardoz made an appearance on this thread yet? irresistibly cranky Sci-Fi, I'm not sure if it has philosophical pretensions or they're just having a laugh.

It is nothing compared to another John Boorman fiasco of the time; Excorcist II the Heretic which is an unbearable mess starring a pissed Richard Burton. Fear not it has been helpfully condensed into this batshit mad trailer which tells you all you need to know

 

[Orang Utan]

Saw Cool As Ice last night. It's so strange but far too enjoyable and unpretentious to be truly bad.

 

[starfish]

I really like Road Trip. Im sure many think it is terrible, awful & dreadful though.

 

[Gingerman]

On ITV tonight,another guilty pleasure

 

[The Octagon]

I really like Road Trip. Im sure many think it is terrible, awful & dreadful though.

I love Road Trip, it's definitely one of the better teen comedies that came out around that time (see also - Get Over It, a modern reworking of a Midsummer Night's Dream).

"It's a short cut ok? It's supposed to be a challenge. If it was easy it would just be The Way" - words to live by

.....and as of a couple of days ago...Love Actually.

This is shown alot over Xmas and there's often nowt else to watch. It's terrible but there's still a few enjoyable scenes to keep you hooked e.g. Grant & Atkinson et al Can't stand the kid drummer plotline with Liam Neeson , makes me wanna chunder.

Perhaps Connery's weirdest role Bond in a nappy ,watching it you're wonder wtf is going on half the time,not unwatchable though.....

 

[hot air baboon]

On ITV tonight,another guilty pleasure

.....I watched Transporter 3 on Film 4 last night and phew what an enjoyably - almost admirably - pure bit of action packed tosh it was...a very quick 90 minutes...

.....I can't help warming to the Statham & experiencing certain bromantic yearnings that are unthinkable with your Cruise's, Schwarzenwhatsists, your Lundgrens and above all that ridiculous pouting Sid James look alike masquerading as James Bond......maybe its the self-confidence & lack of vanity in his receding hair-line or the insouciant manner in which he bodily picks up and uses an opponent like a handy blunt instrument to sweep another one off a grand piano...

...for added awfulness points its directed by Olivier Megaton...( now why didn't Sir David Lean think of adding that extra imprimatur of artistic lustre to his cinematic product : Lawrence of Arabia dir. Sir David Megaton ) loads of indistinguishable black cars wooshing about and ultra-violent punch-ups where the bad-guys despite vastly out-numbering the hero use that serial queueing attack system so they can each rush forward to connect their jaws handily to be re-arranged by a flying round house kick...

......and the really good news is they've got it on again tomorrow night aswell...

only half the time? I was like wtaf all the way through...

 

[frogwoman]

Jurrasic world, probably the worst film i've ever seen in my life.

 

[DotCommunist]

raptors on motorcycles. Unless thats a mid-90s cartoon like 'biker mice from mars' or whatever, then I want no part of it

I have a very funny story about the making of Zardoz.

Unknown the final time lapse shot of Connery and the girl ageing and dying? It was created using stop motion photography. Or take a shot do his makeup, take another shot. Repeat for 13 hours while the actors stay as still as possible.

A lecturer of my was the camera assistant and at the end of the day's filming went to remove the film from the magazine and accidentally exposed it.

So he had to go to Boormans office and explain that they had to reshoot the whole scene.

It was the last shot on the last day of filming. On the 22nd of dec. Sean Connery was called back from the airport where he was about to fly back to The West Indies. So he could sit on a rock painstakingly still for another 13 hours straight.

Read about that incident in Boorman's autobiography, Connery wasn't pleased to say the least, wanted to lamp the assistant....

The way Shane tells it the rest of the camera crew hid him and because Connery had to sit perfectly still for 13 hours all he could do is swear loudly and more vehemently as the day wore on.

I was about to say all of Goldie Hawn's oeuvre - but I'm guessing that for the guilty pleasure, there has to be (a)agreement about shitness level and (b) pleasure.I really think she is a fine comic/character actor, and love anything she is in. Also, forget Catch 22, Deer Hunter: Private Benjamin is the best exploration of Middle America's changing perception of the military post the 'trauma' of Vietnam, and that transition from the multiple moral choices of the 1970s to the Reagan era militaristic certainties(see also: Police Academy).

She's been in quite a few films I like: The Sugarland Express, Shampoo, Foul Play, Death Becomes Her. The first two are genuinely great films, the other two underrated comedies.

Steady on, he wasn't that effusive

 

[DotCommunist]

I've still got Death Becomes Her on vhs. Why have I still got vhs tapes and no vhs player?

you can't give the fuckers away.

 

[Gingerman]

Speaking of Goldie Hawn this is another dumb bad awful dreadfull film I enjoy watching....
