Movies that lots of…

Movies that lots of people love that I detest/don’t care for/am left completely cold by:

  • A Beautiful Mind has been mentioned several times, but it’s a very good pick. The worst moment in the movie, among many, was the fabricated Nobel acceptance speech in which he nattered on about the schlock-romance we’d just spent the movie watching. Nash’s actual acceptance speech was about math. In general, this movie needed less love and more math.

  • Kids. Pointless wallowing in depravity and despair, with no redeeming virtues whatsoever.

Movies I love that other people hate on:

  • Bamboozled. A lot of people seemed to get pissed off at the movie because they expected a straight comedy but the movie had other plans. Well, they were wrong and the movie was right.

Movies I probably won’t ever bother to see:

  • Napoleon Dynamite

  • Crash

  • Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs, blah blah blah

Oh. I can’t believe I forgot the following for the I-hated-it—but-others-loved-it list:

  • Fight Club. Oh good God what trash.
