The Cinematic Confessional
 

Confess ye ole' celluloid sins.

I, soberly and regretfully, put out into the vast void of the internet that I do not own a single Martin Scorsese DVD and yet I own Nothing But Trouble.

If it can be forgiven...

I've seen Robin Hood: Men in Tights around twenty times.

I have too. Chalk up another sin on my tab.

I'm a grown hetero male who simply loves The Wizard of Oz.

Hehehe, Me and a freind went to a Video Hire place at midnight once and hired it out, we didn't realise why all the clerks where looking at us werid 'till the next day, "Two teenagers with very red eyes go into a Video Store at 12 PM, Hire out The Wizard of Oz and buy three huge bags of skittles...." ;) :p

I own Bicentennial Man on DVD and everytime i watch it...i cry.


I am ashamed.

As well you should be. Geesh.

I wanna hear yours, Holds. I know you're Holden something back.

I know a Holden secret. Hohohoheeheeheehahaha.

I demand 4 cans of sardines, a pair of black dockers, and a shrimp boat...or I tteeellllll...the secret.

Mwahahahahaha....

Ok here is my list o sins....

Demolition Man - "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?"

I LOVE this cornball load of a film. The cheesey one-liners, the campy-future sets, and yes, even Sandra Bullock is looking good in this one.

Send a Maniac to catch one....

Return of the Living Dead

"I know you're in there Tina...I can smell your brains!!!"


Ah, punk rocker zombies, don't think it gets much worse than this...

I'm an 18 year old Irishman and I like Grease. I watch it every Christmas!

Whats not to love?! Its a film about a robot...with a heart! Oh... im getting misty eyed just thinking about it...

I've never seen Gone With the Wind...

I've never seen a naked girl.

Here ya go:

^^ I'll never be right again.

Sedai-
Demolition Man is something I can watch over and over again. Dang.

I've seen Three Ninja's more times that I can remember and I continue to watch it on a regular basis. Dumb & Dumber is one of my favorite movies.... Dang.

I have seen Flash Gordon over 80 times...oh yeah and I hate Taxi Driver....sue me.

You're ashamed of that? I OWN the entire series :eek:

That's nothing to be ashamed of, Dumb & Dumber is just plain funny.

"I can get 70 miles to the gallon on this hog."

But then again, this is coming from a guy who enjoys Billy Madison.

"He called the s***, 'Poop!'"

These are two sins I've gotten rid of. . .or whatever.
1.)I used to like the movie Now and Then
2.)I used to hate Donnie Darko (it still doesn't really impress me but I don't hate now)

No, to the present. . .
1.)I almost teared up in the Fox and the Hound when the old lady leaves the fox in the woods. Suicide never seemed so good.
2.)I wanted to watch Titanic yesterday. I WANTED to! adajlasguaslk *shudder*

There's no shame in that, Billy Madison is one of my favorite comedies.

I think Billy Madison is hilarious.

John Travolta in The Boy in the Plastic Bubble... JUST SHOOT ME ALREADY!

I like Happy Gilmore! ;D

So do i :(

That one is also classic, but it doesn't beat out Billy Madison for funniest Adam Sandler movie.

I like all the old Godzilla movies...

I am having trouble coming up with any good ones for this one... I think a film is good if I like it. Does Clueless count?

I am a proud owner of a 'Demolition Man' DVD. Not only do I revel in the cheesiness of this film but the DVD features some of the worst dubbing ever in a movie when they attempted to wipe out all 'Taco Bell' references and replace them with 'Pizza Hut', which needless to say cracks me up every time.

Booth: Gun. Noun. Portable firearm. This device was widely utilized in the urban wars of the late twentieth century. Referred to as a pistol, a piece...
Simon Phoenix: Look I don't need a history lesson! C'mon, HAL, where are the god damn guns?
Moral Statute Machine: You are fined one credit for a violation of the Verbal Morality Statute.
Simon Phoenix: What? %$#@ you!
Moral Statute Machine: Your repeated violation of the Verbal Morality Statute has caused me to notify the San Angeles Police Department. Please remain where you are for your reprimand.
Simon Phoenix: Yeah, right.
[police sirens approach]
Simon Phoenix: #@$%ers are fast too.


I also have the Transformers Movie on DVD as well, I still get misty when that brave Optimus Prime dies.

I've seen a version od Die Hard like that. They changed all the swear words to jibberish. Like the Yippee Kay eh line was changed to " Yippee Kay eh-Kemo sa!" That doesnt even make sense!

Me too :bawling:

Me too :cool:

I own AI and I like it :blush: :blush: :blush:

I own A.I. and I love it. :yup:

Demolitian Man is nothing to be ashamed of, yeah it's cheesy but to heck with it i love it. I love the goofy bits the people of the future say like when sandra bullock tries to say things from the past.

'Wow, you really licked his ass!'
'Kicked, i really Kicked his ass.'

i think i have seen 3 ninjas more than any other movie.

everytime Like Mike is on tv i always sit through the entire thing and yet i dont know why :eek:

I watched Pearl Harbour two years ago...and I liked it.

But I liked the song in Team America more.

I hated A Clockwork Orange.

I hated Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon AND House of Flying Daggers

But I liked Disney's Atlantis. THERE WASN'T EVEN A COHERENT PLOT!!!!!!!!!

I'm guilty of this too

Here comes the biggest sin of all: I actually like Under Siege!!!!

Billy: "woah coach what about me?"
Coach:"oh Gilmore didn't I read your name out?" *looks through notes
Billy: "no no sir you didn't"
Coach:"oh well....better luck next year!" *laughs
Billy: "that wasn't VERY NICE!!!" *Starts punching the coach & players

Chubbs: "damn alligator bit my hand off"

Billy: "you think that's funny clown!!" *Proceeds to bash clown face at minigolf course.

I always liked it when I was younger, I reckon it IS better than Billy Madison.

I spoke badly of Raging Bull :(. Can I possibly be forgiven?

Let's agree to disagree then. :)

i like starship troopers.

I agree..... :D

Yes it does. One Our Father and three Hail Marys.

I speak as a teenage girl, Clueless is essential viewing and nothing to be ashamed of.

so did i, quality cheese

I liked both Clueless and Starship Troopers. Personally, I don't see anything to be embarrassed about with either.

Now, if you wanna talk embarrassment...I have always wanted to learn the banjo and somehow incorporate it within the realm of black metal. Cool or Embarrassing? You be the judge.

BTW: UC...what is your avatar from? I recognise it from somewhere, but I just can't place it.

Oh...wait. That's Hermione, isn't it? Duh!

Duh Slay, dunce points for slay

Actually...isn't it more reassuring that I didn't immediately recognize the teenage girl for who she was immediately? That I don’t have her posters adorning my walls and use them to help me with recognizing your avatar?

Fine. Give me dunce points for being a well concealed pervert.

*haha*

What I meant to say was, “for being a well adjusted grown man.” My mistake. :blush:

BTW: How old is she? WAIT!!! It's not important. Never mind. Nothing to see here.

ah Slay you crack me up
and i think shes 14

I've barely watched them and even I know it's that little chick from the Harry Potter flicks.



And she's hot...you know, for a little girl. She can call me in five years or so.

tut tut holden pike, naughty

I think the little blue stars threw me off.

Um...yeah.

I bought it a while ago, and having not seen it for years I finally see how camp the tin man is and how much sexual tension there is between Dot and the Scarecrow. :rolleyes: :)

:eek: I love the 3 ninjas... nothing to be ashamed of :S

I have seen Final Destination around 50 times ( no... it is not exaggerated ) and the same for Watership Down... I also own Cruel Intentions 2. :S

dude, your posts are appreciated but try and fit what you're gonna say in one post and not 3 (see above)

I'm a huge fan of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

I have passes to an advanced screening of House of Wax this upcoming Monday and I think I'm actually going to go.


:'(

I've been known to laugh like a drain at certain Carry On.. movies...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/3...yon_ken150.jpg

Ohhhhhh?

http://www.zetaminor.com/images/dvd_...hattie_ken.jpg

Ohhhhhh.

me too :blush:

I Loved Starship Troopers.
I Love Sturat Gordon.
(I actually sat through Robot Jox, 17 times, I own Reanimator and laugh my ass off throughout ;))
I secretly want to be on "Dinner for Five."
I am in complete lust with Kate Winslet, Queen Latifa and Helen Mirren.
I love Spike Lee.
(I actually only find Rosie Perez annoying part of the time)
I have never walked out on a film, even Solar Babies which brings me to the 2nd part of this confession, I actually saw it in the theater on opening weekend! ALONE!
Despite the bashing from the left and the right I love Michael Moore.
I was doubled over with laughter during Hot Shots Part Deux.
Another Het male confession...I loved The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
I cried when Optimus Prime died.
Father/son storylines ALWAYS hit me....right here.

I love Steven Segal

Ahhh I feel better now :)

:eek:

I think Titanic is excellent entertainment.

LOL Well I guess that MUST be the guiltiest of them all hu?

:yup:

Kenneth Williams is a legend! Nothing wrong with liking him.

'Oooh Matron!'


I love Titanic. I don't even mind the love story part that much.

I have passes to a screening of House of Wax in two weeks and I actually wouldn't go even if they PAID me.

Agreed.

After raking both TCM and all the hip aisan horror fils over the coals I have permenently banned myself from any Horror remake, especially a fun film like Price's "House."

I have to say though I did like what they did with Dawn of the Dead, but I like Ving Rames, Mekhi Phifer and Matt Frewer so even if the GORGEOUS Sarah Polley wasnt in it I'd still have watched.

Nothing to be ashamed of there. It's a great film.

Did you ever see Road to Perdition? If not, go rent it right now. Hell, go buy it right now. You won't be disappointed.

You'd get along great with my father.

I agree, but the book to film purists cant seem to see it for what it is.

Will do :)

LOL It's one of the few things my mother in law and I agree upon. Imagine that, Segal a peace keeper ;)

Ugh, tell me about it. I've been meaning to read the book anyway. Not that it'll change my mind, since I've already seen the film - but at least I'd have some idea of where they're coming from. Admittedly, the film has problems. But it does quite a few things right, including character development (particularly Dina Meyer's character), scale and setting (just look at the production value), and some great cinematography. It's just a really fun sci-fi film.

It's funny, the disagreements my father and I have about films always seem to bring us closer together. But not so much that I'll start enjoying Biker Boyz, Final Destination 2, Half Past Dead, or whatever crap movie he's praising at the time. :)

Oh, believe you me I hate myself for it. I've ranted and raved against this movie with much hatred. I'm boycotting it at the box office and getting everyone I know to do so as well. However, this provides me an avenue to see just how much it blows without actually supporting it financially. Plus I just like seeing movies early. Makes me feel pretty.

Wait...is House of Wax the one with Paris Hilton in it?

Yes, yes it is. And I die a little more inside.

:laugh:

I have a shameful admission too...I like Vin Diesel's voice and I didn't mind sitting through The Pacifer with the kids....I like his torso. :blush: :modest:

Let me know how thick your tear level will be compared from this one to the Seed Of Chucky experience.

Oh, you can certainly expect a heartfelt review, but even if it is a worse movie, which topping Seed of Chucky at this point would be an accomplishment akin to a quadriplegic climbing Mount Everest, the sting won't be so bad because it's free.

Paris Hilton in House of Wax:

(Paris is looking around the House of Wax. She points at several wax figures.)

PARIS: That's hot... that's hot... that's hot.... that's hot.... that's hot....

(Hot wax pours all over Paris, killing her.)

PARIS: OWW!!! That's really hottttttttttttttt.....

I enjoyed blue crush the first time I saw it, but my sponsor came over and we sat down and talked until that feeling went away.

That is something I would love to see ;)

I think I would be a very short film though, after all how can you trap the vaccuous in a solid....hmmm interesting.

LOL I feel the same way about "Head of State," my rational side says "what a peice of crap," while my silly side laughs hysterically at all the old white ladies singing "Hot in Heeere."

No matter how many pots of coffee and cigarettes I have I still end up falling off the wagon.

i watched the Guru (with Jimi Mistry) twice...wow feels soo good to get that off my chest!!!

Well, the confessional may be pleased to know I did not go to the House of Wax screening, but went to Melinda & Melinda instead.

How did you like it?

I thought it was decent enough, but I certainly don't care to see it again...ever.

Paris hilton in cinema? She should probably stick to the home movies.

I thought it was enjoyable, but there was a lot about it that, was (like you said) "decent enough". The tragic parts really weren't very tragic and the comedic parts weren't consistently laugh out loud funny (though I did a good amount). I loved the cast though. Will Farrel was funnier during the glimpses of himself and not when it was Will Farrel playing Woody Allen. And man, I was impressed by the guy from Hackers...

Havn't seen any of Kurosawa's films

I cry every time at All Dogs Go To Heaven. You know its good to talk about these things.

Feelings! Better out than in, as they say. I'm still working on it at times.

Anyways, yes I get tore up by these movies sometimes also. I hate that movie where they had to shoot the Old Yeller dog.

Kills me inside and I don't know why.

See, now, I just laugh my frickin' head off anytime a cinematic pet has to be put down, preferably by the child who loves the pet the most.

My favorite of these comedies is probably The Yearling. Combines the slapstick of Bambi with the madcap hilarity of Born Free -- if Elsa were a deer that kept eating the tobacco crop, that is...

;)

I feel the same way, laughing my head to a migrane when people die in movies. Mainly how they die and if it's all of a sudden shocker to the audience. Sheesh! When it comes to animals though I get all weepy and needing hugs and such.

You are clearly a bit skewed.
Nice to meet you! :)

I don't really like:
Blade Runner
Space Odyssey 2001
Deer Hunter
Barry Lyndon
Psycho
Seven Samauri
....and a whole hoard of other technical marvels.

I do like Mortal Kombat though.

I'll understand if you guys take away my lightsaber. Dang.

Geez and I thought someone not seeing a Kurosawa film was bad, someone not LIKING one is worse! ;)

:eek:

yes!, i laugh when Rottingham says"I hear your pretty handy with a sword, lets find out!" and then pulls his hilt off. :rolleyes:

Neither have i, and to be honest, if someone had said his name to me before reading this thread i wouldnt be able to tell you what films he had made. Sorry.
