Movies Everyone Hates That You Love / Movies You Hate That Everyone Loves

[Omar 382]

It's not the "loves" I have an issue with, it's the "everyone." Only fifteen year olds taking a break from their Pokémon cards saw Cloverfield.

And only SlinkyRedFoot taking a break from his gay pron would have enough time to get angry over semantics, such as, and I quote: "Everyone"; "loves"; "universally"

Dude, Where's My Car?

Yep, I said it.

Hey I forgot that one! 3/5 stars

I hated No Country For Old Men... and pretty much every other piece of garbage that those brothers make.

Big Lebowski and O Brother are about the only exceptions.

I liked No Country quite a bit, but I'm a pretty big fan of Cormac McCarthy, although I didn't like the movie The Road so much.

Big Lebowski an O Brother are classics, imo. Burn After Reading I thought was pretty funny and I also liked True Grit.

I'm not angry about anything. I'm laughing at a meatball that thinks any significant amount of people loved or even liked Cloverfield. It's a farce.

This reminds me of when @ROMOTOOWENS posted a screenshot from that made-for-Netflix softporn in the 'Guess The Movie' thread.

Just laughable.

Sin City? Saw? Zootopia? Boondock Saints? 300?

Who "loves" these? They're for fifteen year old boys, not adults.

WTF is going on in here?

I think zootopia and finding nemo are both top 25 type movies of all time in some online ratings lists which is nuts.

I commonly run into people who like 300, Sin City, Saw and Boondock Saints. Personally I find things like Band of Brothers to be a better showcase of masculinity.

Insane. I've got kids and I've seen them both. I understand they make a lot of money, but I think that's in part because families go to them instead of just individuals, or couples.

As far as the kids movies go, I'm partial to Ratatouille and Up.

I just see 300 and Sin City as goofy comic book movies. Saw is a slasher film, right? Boondock Saints... Fuck me. I weep for our future.

Yes, BoB was fucking awesome.

I haven't had the courage to watch the new True Grit with as much as I like the old one. I kinda don't want those Coen douches to ruin a movie for me.

Fair enough. I don't remember loving the remake, but frankly, I don't remember even liking the first one.

John Wayne is a lot like Elvis to me - I just don't see the appeal.

Box office totals will give a real good indicator of how many people saw the movie. A goofy cult film that 300,000 dorks watched and "liked fine" is hardly a move that "everyone loves," which is what this thread is about. Remember? You started it.

Are you talking about Grandma's Boy?

 

[DHoey]

I watch every single Fast and Furious movie when it's on. Love em all

Is that what you call Omar?

I think the Coens do good work. No Country for Old Men is probably in my top 50 movies of all time and O Brother is a solid 9 out of 10 kind of movie.

I get why people don't like No Country but I highly disagree with any analysis that says its a bad movie. I think they could've shot the 'you never see it coming' scene again. A movie like Saving Private Ryan shows that you can have that type of plot and still have everyone love it but almost everyone I know hates how No Country ends.

I actually don't hate how it ends... I hate the 30 minutes prior.

So anticlimactic.

Thats what I meant I was just trying to be vague enough to not use the spoiler tag.

I think you're fine not seeing the newer True Grit. Its amazingly forgettable and just okay.

I think the movie, and more accurately the book (the movie is about as true to the book as any movie could be, much of the dialogue is literally word for word), is awesome.

My take on it -- which I understand is not the popular opinion -- is that it is a story about fate and causality. I don't have time to go too deep into that right now, but the idea that so much of Moss' issue is caused by his decisions, the choice to go back to the crime scene to give the Mexican water for example, and then there's Chigurh flipping coins to decide people's fates.

I thought the movie and book was more of a commentary on the hubris of American exceptionalism and the villain's inability to be defeated or contained by such a ridiculous notion of self worth.

God may wreck his car but its still up to man to actually report him to the authorities. Instead we are easily bribed into submission even if we know its wrong.

I like it. I think there's a lot of different theme's in the book, and I think your take on Chigurh's wreck is good - it's certainly more specific than what I offered, but I think it fits into what I offered.

I think I fell asleep during gangster squad.

Zoolander is not bad but it doesn't deserve the cult status it has.
