This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Name movies most people hate and you like.

His star treck films were fine.  As generic mildly sci-fi movies.  As Star Treck?  Well they weren't star treck.  

It was a protracted origin story that had all the same tropes as Top Gun.

Kirk is Maveric.  Spock is Ice Man.  The capitian is who ever Maverics mentor was.  It's Top Gun.

Quote from: Spike;1002407Assuming that IMDB took me to teh right film I have no idea what you're actually asking?  I've never heard of this film, and the blurb suggests... teenage voyuer in the 1955 Bronx?  

I assume its a bad film, then? Obscure adn low budget?

Help me, Obi-wan Squee, you're my only hope!



EDIT::: Bah, nevermind. I knew I'd heard of this film... that's one of her movies I've never been able to see, never found a copy.  Clearly IMDB was trying to trick me with the other one.

I'll try and find you a copy.

I like the keep to. It's an odd movie. Everything about it was great when looked at separately but somehow the movie ASA whole just seemed to be less than the sum of it's parts.

Yeah, that's true... The whole concept is amazing it could have been a HP Lovecraft novel. But it does feel quite disjointed and could have been a lot better. Interestingly enough I prefer the movie's take on the actual creature from the book much more interesting I thought. Apparently there was quite a bit cut out of it too (becase of the studio) that probably didn't help either I suppose.

I like The Keep, definitely flawed but vivid imagery.

Yeah man, it's definitely got a certain something... I'd like to see a remake done with a decent director - it'll never happen tho' as it has been well buried by Mann. :(

Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Quote from: Nexus;1002822I liked it

As a gamer one moment I loved was when this quote happened.

"No, no, this is not a fortress. A soldier could walk up the outside wall. Why are the small stones on the outside and the large stones here in the interior? It's constructed... backwards. This place was not designed to keep something... out. What is this pleace? "

Again this is a moment as a gamer I would love to have as a player, to realize the keep was not built like a fortress but a prison.. As a gm I would drop subtle hints and just describe the place and wait to give some XP to the player who got it.

The other thread just reminded me of Prometheus. Seems like a lot of nerd fanbois hate it because it wasn't Cameron's Aliens, so now a potentially great franchise has been misdirected into the retread mill.

And here I thought people hated it because it was a fucking incoherent mess of a film full of people acting in ways that people in their position would never act (especially considering the costs of spaceflight assumed by the setting, thus the idea of selecting blithering idiots and madmen for the crew...).

But then I only know any of that because there are eight hundred videos of Youtube trying to make it make sense so that, I assume, the Videomakers CAN like the film.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

A fucking men brah! I knew it was going to suck when the Scottish geologists yanked off him helmet when the sensors detected oxygen. I mean, they saw evidence of life, and life is the greatest biohard of all. Fucking idiots.

Heck, I think Aliens sucks. We should start a "Movies everybody seems to like but you hate" thread. Haven't seen Prometheus and whatever the last one was called. The last Alien movie I saw had Winona Ryder in it and it sucked.
