Film scenes that piss you off!

[bliss_eternal]

We've done everything else scariest scene, scenes that make you cry, laugh, scared,blah, blah. Well what about scenes that make you MAD?!

:mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr:

I know I will think of more later but everytime I see this one it bugs the shit out of me.

The Accused--the asshole harassing Sadie at the record store. The fact that he is ribbing her, about RAPE--like it was funny!
:grr: That one makes me furious!

What are yours...it can be scenes that make you mad, films with many scenes that make you mad, or movies that you were so disappointed with that they pissed you off...

[MrScorpio]

1. True Lies

There is no park a block over from M Street in Georgetown, that was K Street, three miles away and not running distance at all.

How the hell do you go into the Hotel Washington in DC and then end up in the Hotel Bonaventure in LA?!?

I hate that chase scene

[bliss_eternal]

2. I wondered where that was...

Thank you for cluing me in!

I recognize the Bonaventure, but didn't recognize DC--I always wondered if they did that as a back lot recreation of parts of Washington, if it was another city they used, etc...but it is OBVIOUS it isn't Los Angeles...

[MrScorpio]

5. They shot a great part of that movie on Location in DC

I recognize a lot the sites

When they pulled that stupid chase scene stunt, it stuck out like a sore some for me

[driver8]

8. The same thing happened for me and "No Way Out" with

Kevin Costner. During a chase scene, he hops off the Metro and is right at the Old Post Office. He also hops off the Metro in the middle of Georgetown.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

72. Yeah, I grew up near DC and we all laughed about the Metro in G-town.

I still love that movie because of the best mind-blowing plot twist ending ever.

[Jed Dilligan]

95. How many times

Has a car chase gone screeching around a corner in downtown LA, then instantly teleported to the bridge in San Pedro? The movie map of LA alone is ultra weird.

Then there is "Grosse Point" better known as Monrovia, CA--that one is weird if you've spent time in Monrovia. (But then, who really has?)

[MrScorpio]

103. Welcome to DU

Stick around

[MarsThe Cat]

108. "...ass like a 10 year-old boy"

i never understood why/how that line made it into the picture.

[CanuckAmok]

113. That whole movie was completely offensive to me.

It's not as if I don't like the mindless action/huge effects genre, but that movie was just insulting.

Everything from the brutality of the dialogue (Tom Arnold: "Women, can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em"), to the hand-wringing, chick-slapping Arab stereotypes, to the completely unnecessary "comic" violence (the one scene that sticks with me is when Ahnold kills the car salesman in the Corvette because he thinks he's schtupping his wife, and then it's revealed to be a fantasy scene).

[MarsThe Cat]

117. I actually like it a lot.

btw- i didn't interpret that scene as arnold "killing' bill pullman, so much as just beating the shit out of him.

i'm also a bit of a tom arnold fan.

it's on satellite quite a bit, and i can always sit and watch parts of it.

[bliss_eternal]

121. I used to...

watch it I mean. I liked it, too. Notice that is past tense. I can't watch anything with arnold in it anymore--THAT pisses me off!

Now that he is in his current political position (I refuse to call him our gov.), and destroying our state, I can't bear to see his smirky, mocking face. That used to be a movie I really liked--but not anymore.

[MarsThe Cat]

129. The REAL pisser(especially for Tom Arnold)-

if ah-nold hadn't become the governor of your state, a True Lies sequel would have been one of his next movie projects.

[bliss_eternal]

136. Actually they are planning to do it anyway...

at least that's what I read...Were they planning on doing one sooner? I didn't know that.

I don't think a high ranking official for our state should be making deals to make movies while he's in that position. Seems to be a conflict of interest, but maybe that's just me.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

3. I hate any scene that includes historical or cultural inaccuracy

TV is a worse offender than movies in this regard, and TV programs seem incapable of accurately portraying two environments that I'm very familiar with, the lives of college professors and the liturgical and other customs of mainstream churches.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

4. The beginning of Requiem for a Dream

When they are pushing the TV all of Coney Island before selling it. They are just walking around in circles! If you know Coney Island, they basically walk up and down the same street where the flea market is over and over and over again! :grr:

although, I do love the film otherwise

[Allenberg]

6. Any scene that Ray Liotta is batting in Field of Dreams

JOE JACKSON BATTED LEFT HANDED :mad:

Three seconds of research, people.

[miss_kitty]

33. they could have turned the film over

they did that with Gary Cooper in the 'The Pride of the Yankees'...

"Since star Gary Cooper was right-handed and Lou Gehrig was left-handed, and since Cooper's athletic skills were barely passable right-handed let alone left-handed, the close-up baseball scenes were shot with uniforms in reverse type. Cooper would hit the ball and run to third, and the prints would be reversed."

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035211/trivia

[Spirochete]

81. They did the same thing in "61"

Anthony Michael Hall - a righthander - played Whitey Ford - a lefthander. They reversed his numbers too, and had him pitch right-handed.

[Az]

7. The movie Patton

I used to be a WWII Armor buff. So everytime I see the movie Patton and see those tanks charging across the field it drives me bonkers to see both the US and Germans using Patton tanks. They couldn't find enough tanks to field the actual Sherman and Panther tanks that were actually in the battles. So instead they used the style of tank they did have in quantity, the Patton tank.

[eyepaddle]

37. Yeah, that's always gotten to me as well, same thing

with the Battle of the Bulge (and hey where's the snow in that one?)

Another trivial (though intense) personal pet peeve is any action/monster movie where a well-armed actor is confronted with a monster and does NOTHING, or worse yet makes some quip just as he gets gutted. The big game hunter in Jurassic park getting done in by the Velociraptor and pretty much anything in the trainwreck called Alien vs. Predator qualify as the most egregious offenders.

But segueing into the OP's original intent, the torture scene in Reservoir Dogs is enraging and horrifying.

[0007]

134. I know what ya mean!

[KitchenWitch]

9. The scene in The Color Purple

where Mister is chasing Nettie to try and rape her. And the scene where Mister tells Celie and Nettie that Nettie has to leave.

[SeattleGirl]

11. Hi Kitchy!!

I feel it's been ages since I've "seen" you! :loveya:

[KitchenWitch]

12. Hi SG!

:loveya:

[Mad_Dem_X]

110. That scene kills me!

When she's crying, "WHY? WHY?" And he throws the rock at her. Danny Glover is so evil in that film.

"NOTHING BUT DEATH WILL KEEP ME FROM IT!"

[SeattleGirl]

10. Sleepless in Seattle

Where Tom Hanks and his kid take this itty bitty motorboat across the water. Makes it seem like they are doing a little puddle jumping, but the actual distance is much farther, especially since his houseboat is on Lake Union, and he would have do to quite a bit of motoring to get to West Seattle where he ends up! Actually, it makes me laugh at the absurdity more than it makes me mad!

[miss_kitty]

34. I was going to mention that

there were also other glaring 'mistakes' (not really mistakes, since they did it on purpose)-they are in the houseboats 2 blocks down from Eastlake, and when she comes to Seattle to meet him she's standing on Westlake (across the lake), and they are walking up from some marina, as if their houseboat is there. There was some funky shit in the Fabulous Baker Boys too.

[displacedtexan]

131. Meg Ryan's street in Baltimore is a sidewalk.

They just pretended it was a street.

Also, Meg Ryan's "house" is a tiny storefront bldg-- about 8' deep.

Down the street, people keep trying to report crimes at the police station-- the city left the "Homicide: Life In The Streets" signs on the damned building.

[Hardrada]

13. The way Roman emperors are portrayed in Bibilical epics.

They are all portrayed as sadistic psychopaths with weird giggles etc. Not so. In fact the Julian and Antonine emperors really could have given a rat's ass about the Xians though Nero purportedly blames them for torching Rome. Hmmmph.

[Hardrada]

14. Biblical epics when they toss goodies to the Mary cult.

OK, Mary, next time you see your son, why don't you INTERCEDE for us!

[Hardrada]

15. WWII flicks where the German sentries

never hear anyone sneaking up behind them. Ever!

[GCP]

55. Thanks - now there's red wine all over my keyboard!

:D

[Hardrada]

65. You're welcome, I'm sure!

:D

[southlandshari]

16. Rosewood.

There were several scenes that made me so angry I felt helpless - I hesitate to go into detail lest I ruin that powerful true life film experience for anyone who hasn't seen it.

If you haven't seen it, you should. It will leave you drained, but, if you are like me, incredibly inspired to make sure nothing like that EVER happens again in this country. Or anywhere else in the world.

:grr:

[bliss_eternal]

40. Do you know I've never seen Rosewood...?

I suspect it is for the reasons you mention. I have a good friend that saw it, who told me not to, because she knows how upset I get--LOL! She did say it was a good film, and worthy of viewing--she just knows me...

I can't tell you how many times I've seen Mississippi Burning, and I still cry during some of those scenes and get VERy angry...

[southlandshari]

59. I think you should see it.

Mississippi Burning upsets me, too, but it is more Hollywood than Rosewood is. They're both true stories, told in films with big name actors, but Rosewood is less of the roller coaster ride, more of the gasp that hits you once and doesn't let go until the final credits.

Watch it. And tell me what you think!

:hi:

[kwassa]

119. My issue with Rosewood, and a lot of the criticism about it is

that while the Rosewood incident was very true, much of the story as told by John Singleton was not. The entire character that Ving Rhames played was completely fictional, for instance. The character played by Jon Voight was substantially altered from the real person. I read some strong criticisms by survivors of Rosewood itself.

[southlandshari]

128. Thank you for posting that

I admit that I was taken in by the sheer emotion of the film, and knowing it it is based on a true story, probably didn't question it enough.

Off to do some research now...

:hi:

[fudge stripe cookays]

85. Yep.

It took a lot for me to sit through that.

But it was very powerful, and I felt drained when it was over.
FSC

[DanCa]

17. I cant stand bloody gun battles of any kind

1) I seen a friend die on Cicero from a gunshot wound when I was a kid which is why i wont touch em. Note I wont oppose anyones right to own a fire arm i just can't bring myself to own one.

2) My nine year old niece Destiny Marie is a hemophiliac. She can't stop bleeding if she gets cut. It's stupid i know but every time someone gets hurt i think of her. Note I dont have a problem with sci fi or fantasy films because i can seperate the fantasy its just war movies and guns. Please dont hate me.

[bliss_eternal]

41. I'm so sorry that you witnessed such a horrible event...

:hug:

Sending you my heart felt sympathy for the loss of your friend.

[DanCa]

104. Well thank you but am more worried about my neice having a blood condition

I wince when she puts a needle in her arm. But movies are really funny because i see her getting hurt and it bugs me. .

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. Fahrenheit 9/11.

All the scenes where the Chimp was speaking.

[elshiva]

19. Bowling for Colombine's scene with Charlton Heston...

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

[bliss_eternal]

50. I haven't seen it--what did Mr. NRA say this time?

:hi:

[uppityperson]

66. He walked away, once he realized MM had serious questioning of him

just walked away without any answer when MM asked him if he thought it was appropriate to have a NRA thing happening right after shootings in the same town.

[benny05]

68. But...

Conventions/Conferences are scheduled way in advance. I think MM was being off-base about that one.

[fudge stripe cookays]

87. These weren't conventions.

He specifically made appearances in Colorado after Columbine AND Flint Michigan after a little 6 year old had been gunned down in school.

The NRA did this specifically to show that they would not have a bunch of furious, grief-stricken parents telling them what to do.

fsc

[bliss_eternal]

74. Unh! He's such a piss ant!

Thanks for filling me in--I've got to rent that movie one of these days.

[fudge stripe cookays]

86. TWICE. n/t

[mopinko]

56. i thought he was patheetic

senile.

[bliss_eternal]

42. Ugh--wasn't it repugnant?

He's so damned arrogant!

Wasn't there a point during the film where Moore caught him stating what sector of the population he was there to serve (the uber rich)?

That moment really pissed me off!

The other moment in that film was the black senators from around the country being turned away on the senate floor--after the election was stolen in 2000. Just horrible! :grr:

[hippywife]

61. Those were members of the House

Congressional Black Caucus. The problem was they needed one senator to side with their complaint and not a single one would.

[bliss_eternal]

76. It was a pathetic sight...

makes me mad everytime I see it--that not ONE single senator would back them.

Disgusting...

:grr:

[hippywife]

82. Yes,

it actually made me cry.

[bliss_eternal]

93. I cry every time I watch that scene...

:hug:

[Devra]

120. yeah

but to be honest I was dissapointed in all senators with that one (including Kerry). they had plenty of Reparsenitives (they were Black Reparsenitives)but they needed the suport of 2 senators and not a single one came to their aid. not Clinton not Kerry. I can't help gut wonder why they didn't help. and there was nothing that Gore as president of the senate could do.

[Dave Sund]

106. The opening

Not. One. Senator.

[terrya]

20. The ones where Pauly Shore appears in them.

Because, well, I'm imagining the celluloid that's being wasted.

[Mutley]

21. Any action movie...

Where 50 people are shooting at the protagonist and he doesn't get hit once. Not once.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

22. Final battle in "The Last Samurai" would qualify.

[BigMcLargehuge]

25. not so!

Nathan Algres is shot many times in the final charge. Thought I do have a problem with the end of The Last Samurai, the way the story should have ended was with Algren and Katsumoto both dying on the battlefield.

[Mutley]

26. Well, in some movies, the guy is actually shot...

but he can still keep running around like nothing happened. :rofl:

[Scout]

30. When Billy slaps his daughter, in Carousel...

and then later her mother tells her some bullshit about (paraphrase) "if somebody loves you, it doesn't hurt if they slap you hard"

I love that movie, but I need to edit that scene out.


ETA: sorry, replied to wrong post, meant to reply to OP :crazy:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

70. The ending of Last Samurai sucked. I agree the appropriate ending

was for them both to die in the battle. Appropriate metaphor for the steamrolling of the Samurai way of life by industry.

Think about what is portrayed. Dude miraculously survives, and then makes a dramatic appearance to the emperor, who then changes his mind about giving influence to the corporatist/Westernist mogul.

This is historically misleading. We know that what happened was that IN FACT, the Samurai way did fail and passed from the world, essentially, and this Meiji emperor (a fascinating character in history by the way) was largely responsible for the West patterned industrialization of Japan, and the way of the Samurai gave way to the way of Sony and Toyota.

The end of the movie seems to imply that something like the OPPOSITE happened. So, did the young emperor change his mind back again, like a week later?

It was a sucky ending, and they added like an extra 45 min to the movie for it. It made the movie WORSE.

[BigMcLargehuge]

89. The thing is, historically, the code of Bushido carried on

but it was warped into modern Japanese militarism. It was only 50 years after the Mieji Revolution that Japan embarked on it's brutal empire building with the Russo Japanese War, their involevement in WW1 (as an ally), and the Sino Japanese War. In fact, for almost the entire first half of the 20th Century, Japan was at war abroad in a ruthless quest for colonial real estate that fostered some of the worst human rights abuses of the modern age.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

23. One of the "Death Wish" Charles Bronson series

Where he starts the "neighborhood cleanup" in the following fashion: he deliberately walks around with an expensive camera in order to bait the pickpocketer (is that the correct term?)

The thief is predictably attracted by the camera, sneaks up behind Bronson, grabs the camera and runs fast (that's his specialty).

Then Bronson shoots him in the back with one of those guns that blow holes the size of a basketball on your body.

How heroic.

[Gildor Inglorion]

24. The whole movie "Chasing Amy"

and the premise that homosexuality can be "cured" by finding just the right partner of the opposite sex...even if it IS Ben Affleck :9

[BigMcLargehuge]

28. I might have liked Chasing Amy more if -

Joey Lauren Adams wasn't the lead... Her constant shrillness grated up and down my spine for the entire film. I am not the biggest Kevin Smith fan by any measure, but I reserve a special hatred for Chasing Amy.

[bliss_eternal]

44. I'm honestly not sure why the filmmaker cast her...

as I recall him (or someone from the film) saying that they were afraid her voice would irritate people. :shrug:

I'm still just not at all sure how Kevin Smith is a filmmaker. Not sure if I should classify my feeling as pissed that he's a filmmaker. I tend to just avoid his work...so I can't really get mad about something I don't really acknowledge.

[BigMcLargehuge]

88. he cast her because she was his girlfriend at the time

and Chasing Amy was a love letter to her. I am not a Kevin Smith fan either, and while I celebrate his chutzpah in financing and making Clerks, I thought the movie was lousy.

[CanuckAmok]

115. It's a pretty good script, actually.

But the acting, particularly the line delivery/timing is appalling.

But, hey, it was an indie with "real people" in the roles.

The cinematography blows, too.

But it holds a special place in my heart, because of this:

"My love for you is ticking clock,
BERZERKER!
Would you like to suck my cock?
BERZERKER!
My love for you is speeding truck,
BERZERKER!
Would you like to making fuck?
BERZERKER!"

"Did he just say 'making fuck'?"

[driver8]

52. I'm with you on that one!

Could her voice be any more annoying? I don't think so.

I don't get the whole Kevin Smith thing...

[bliss_eternal]

43. The heterosexual fantasy film?

At least that's what friends of mine called it at the time.

Yeah--that one kind of pissed me off, too. I felt it 'mildly' redeemed itself by showing at the end that she had returned to women, but it still seemed rather insulting.

The whole part where her prior sexual acts and history was brought to light, really bothered me. To me, it was like it was saying that her earlier experimentation was indicative of something 'abnormal.' So in the bigger sense, was it suggesting that gays have these sexually disturbing pasts and are somehow engaging in 'deviant' behaviour? That assertion pisses me off.

As a woman, I hate seeing films where any woman is portrayed as a slut or whore, for merely taking responsibility for her own sexuality.

All these aspects of the film bothered me, and I can see how they would piss you off.

[Rabrrrrrr]

47. That's one of my favorite movies!

And I don't think there is any premise at all that homosexuality can be cured. I've never, ever gotten that feeling from the movie.

[tarkus]

71. Joey Lauren Adams was actually dating Kevin Smith during Chasing Amy

Personally, it is one of my favorite movies of all time. I don't know why, I just really like it.

But I must say that Alyssa wasn't "cured" at all. She did like Holden a bit and maybe wanted things to work out because she felt a non-sexual attraction, but in the end knew it couldn't work out because she couldn't go against what she was.

[Trigger Hippie]

27. The rape scene in Clockwork Orange

It's scares me.:scared:

[flvegan]

29. Any scene involving rape or kidnapping.

[GirlinContempt]

31. The last scene in Pretty In Pink

WTF Duckie was WAY too cool to fall for those ugly little bimbos, and he totally should have got the girl. Come ON the man was a saint, a hipster, a genius and a lover all rolled into one.
ANGER.

[bliss_eternal]

51. I totally agree!

It was just wrong!! Ducky was way cooler than BLAINE--what kind of name is Blaine, anyway...

Love that line, forgive me for shamelessly using it in a post about the Duckster!

Favorite scene, his lip synch of Otis Redding's 'Tenderness.' I've watched that movie countless times, just to see that moment. It was awesome!

:hi:

[GirlinContempt]

62. That was SUCH a good

scene! YES! hah you kinda rule :)

[bliss_eternal]

73. Thanks, but anyone with a

'what would devo do' avatar is my kinda' girl!!! You Rock! :headbang:

Recently got their greatest hits, and listened to it over and over,... So good!

[GirlinContempt]

79. hahahaha

best friends fopr life

[driver8]

53. I think he just wanted to get laid!

C'mon...he was chasing Molly Ringwald around the whole movie and she wasn't giving Duckie any lovin' at all. The guy was probably sick of taking cold showers...or whatever else teenaged boys like to do.

[GirlinContempt]

63. The Duckman

had more style that that. I have faith.

[driver8]

64. You know what? You are absolutely right!

The Duckman was an honorable and classy guy.

[GirlinContempt]

78. Exactly!!

Right on, bro

[MountainLaurel]

133. I read once that in the original

Ending, Ducky did get the girl. But in running the movie before test audiences, the director discovered that people wanted her to end up with the rich guy who completely fucked her over. :puke: So, they changed the ending and added the footage of McCarthy catching up to Ringwald at her car.

[Democrats_win]

32. Pearl Harbor: Using modern ships-lack of authenticity destroyed film.

In the age of Lucas and Spielberg this kind of film is awful. Fortunately, Bruckheimer does better in "Gone in 60 Seconds" and on TV with "CSI."

[StaggerLee]

98. Thank you!

And the way the planes fluttered around on screen almost looking like butterflies, sheesh!

[no name no slogan]

35. Salvador-- the entire movie

Dammit, but I really hate the sh!t our government does "in our name" sometimes :grr:

[bliss_eternal]

48. I only recently learned about this movie--

through watching the documentary on IFC about the Z channel. I was blown away that such an important film wasn't presented to more 'mainstream' audiences, and only got exposure really through Z channel.

[MountainLaurel]

135. Add Romero to that list n/t

[DS1]

36. The end of the remake of The Jackal ( obviously there's a spoiler coming)

When Willi's character, built up to be a total badass, DOESN'T kill his target, and ends up being taken out by Richard Gere and friend.

Fuck that shit, why can't the bad guy win just ONCE?

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

38. Alien vs Predator

I have a huge problem with almost the entirity of this movie, but what particularly pissed me off was the fact that face-huggers could implant an egg & it would hatch within minutes, requiring zero gestation time. Fuck Paul Anderson.

[bliss_eternal]

45. I didn't know Paul Anderson made this movie...

I'm sorry it pissed you off. :hug:

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

54. just to be clear

'Alien vs Predator' was Paul W S Anderson (who did the fairly decent 'Event Horizon') not Paul Thomas Anderson who is a magnificent director

[bliss_eternal]

75. I know...

I'm well versed in THAT Paul T. Anderson's films--knew it was a different one. I'm just surprised as Event Horizon was decent. I thought some newbie director did Alien v. Predator. They usually give newbies that kind of thing...

[WeRQ4U]

39. Swimming Pool scene in Lampoon's Christmas Vacation........

They end it RIGHT before she comes out of the water.....<cough> all the way...........<cough>. So close. LOL.

I also hate it when people from Rome have British accents.

[Momgonepostal]

46. In Titanic when the old broad throws a jillion dollar necklace

into the ocean.

The movie bugged me enough anyway, but that scene really pissed me off. I could have used that money!

I'm way too practical to get enjoyment out of watching people throw away perfectly good money.

[bliss_eternal]

49. I think Cameron's acceptance speech for Titanic pissed me off

more than the film itself.

He's so full of himself!

[NNadir]

57. Titanic when the young broad and the young jerk don't freeze to death

from the artic water flowing through the sinking boat. Cameron made a big deal about being realistic. I guess realism doesn't include the heat capacity of water. Did they have a big water heater on deck to warm the water coming into the ship?

[MarsThe Cat]

109. EXACTLY!

all the people that could have been helped by the money from a piece of jewelry that should have basically meant NOTHING to the old broad- the Leo C. character didn't give it to her, and she didn't know it was even in her pocket until she was on the carpathia.
PLUS- why would a 100+ year-old broad spend her entire life fixated on a one-night stand?

[derby378]

123. There was a parody of that scene...

...where she tossed the necklace into the ocean and then got blasted into the ocean when the freighter sounded its horn.

It was a commercial for a pawn shop. She wound up pawning the rock for some serious cash.

[Gormy Cuss]

58. The whole Harvey Keitel/Holly Hunter relationship in "The Piano"

I realize some people think this was a love story between these two characters but as far as I'm concerned the only love story is between Holly Hunter and the piano.

[BiggJawn]

60. The last scene from "Das Boot"

These guys spend 1/2 the movie scratching and clawing their way back from the dead to limp their wrecked boat home to La Rochelle just to get the shit blown out them on dry land.

Reminds me of my so-called life, too, sometimes....

[grannylib]

67. Any graphic rape scene. Makes me sick to see that depicted with almost

loving detail in some movies.

[Mad_Dem_X]

112. I'm still haunted by "The Accused"

The gang-rape scene makes me want to scream and cry all at once.

[grannylib]

132. I never did see that film for that very reason; I can't stomach the

thought of it as "entertainment" in any form.

[Oeditpus Rex]

69. The air combat scenes in "Pearl Harbor"

Two guys without a minute of combat time in sluggardly P-40s against the elite of the JNAS in A6M3 Zekes (Zeros), the best fighter of its time, and the Americans are out-flying them. Utter bullshit.

(Yeah, I know about the real guys, Taylor and Welch.)

[mondo joe]

77. All of Braveheart. "Freedom" my ass.

What, was Wallace fighting for equality? Democracy?

He was just a royal fighting other bigger royals.

[datasuspect]

84. aye

[Baclava]

80. Gunshots to the shoulder

...like it doesn't rip out chunks of flesh and pulverize bone, tendons and nerves...

...and the lucky guy acts like it was just a scratch.

[datasuspect]

83. not to mention hydrostatic shock

or rapid blood loss . . .

[mitchum]

90. How monsters and aliens have the same standards of female beauty...

as we do.
Have You ever seen one chase or abduct an unattractive woman?

[bliss_eternal]

94. This is quite a profound

observation on your part! I've never thought about that, but you are absolutely right. That is worthy of being pissed about!

[Taxloss]

91. "Is it raining? I hadn't noticed."

In fact, anything involving Hugh Grant and/or Andie McDowell.

Especially Huge Grunt's opening monologue in "Love, Actually" - a nauseating, exploitative, trite piece of cheap emotional pornography.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

118. The bit that Will Self called

"the most grotesque and sickening manipulation of the cinema audience since Leni Riefenstahl's 'Triumph of the Will'" on HIGNFY.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

92. The final scene in Leaving Las Vegas

where he finally gets a boner because he is dead.

That is just gross. And it pisses me off that he wasted his life.

[frogmarch]

96. I get disgusted

in movies where a woman punches or slaps a guy for doing nothing more than disagreeing with her or lying to her. I don't think women have any more right to casually slap or punch men than men have a right to casually slap or punch women.

Another biggy to me in movies is when something inorganic, or something organic older than 60,000 years, is said to have been dated using the Carbon-14 method.

97. Hollow Man

sucked, but the rape scene- where an invisible man gets ready to rape an unsuspecting victim- still pisses me off to this day.

99. I hated that scene, too...

The idea that the filmmakers and/or writer couldn't think of something less degrading to women as a statement to the characters depravity pisses me off.

And here's a review summing up why:

102. the review

may have been right on, but it was also pretty funny. I enjoyed it almost as much as I did the movie...which I saw only once, or I'm sure I'd have spotted all those goofs too. (Yeah, right.)

[ghostsofgiants]

107. Haha, I loved the review...

I loved Independence Day when I was like 11 (I think that's when it came out). Yeah, thankfully I wisened up a little.

114. Thanks for the compliment

that's one of my favorite reviews in the Hall of Shame!

101. Any scene where a teacher

walks out of a classroom and shuts the door to talk to someone. And the class just sits there. Just sits there!

[bliss_eternal]

122. LOL!

That is pretty unrealistic, isn't it? LOL!

105. Passion of the christ - for the blood letting

Need I say more, i all ready said to you how squeamish i am but it even the commercials bothered me. Now Lillies on the field on the other hand was my kind of movie.

111. My Best Friend's Wedding-

Somehow, comung back from O'hare, they end up on Northbound Lake Shore Drive, and then when Carmen Diaz shouts "this is my exit!", they show the car getting off at Michigan Ave. on Southbound Lakeshore Drive on the other side of the city.

116. Natural Born Killers. The whole movie.

Unrealistic fratboy-deep Ollie Stone Kleenex-leavins. Woody from Cheers and a 90 pound twig beat up everybody, even with snake venom in them, make trained police officers seem like amateurs and escape. Bullshit. The thing I hated the most was Juliette Lewis' character. Was the annoyance factor turned up about 10 notches on that one? Who could even WATCH that?

Runner-up: any Kevin Smith movie where the dialogue gets over-pompous and pseudo-intellectual, which means about 70% of the flick.

Arnold Schwartzengroper movies where 3,000 trained contras blast away and hit his big dumb ass NOT ONCE.

124. The beginning of ARMAGEDDON

Where the asteroid that hit the Earth 65,000,000 years ago and killed the dinosaurs is seeing hitting a completely modern Earth. Ugh. That scene should have insulted every last geologist on the planet.

125. When crap horror movies use jolts and noise to startle you

cuz they can't write a script that'll actually frighten you on a psychological level, they have to resort to gimmicks like having the shockingly undead villain spring back to life and grab somebody to the shrill noise of a million violins striking an ear-splitting high note. That movie "What Lies Beneath" with Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer comes to mind...

[derby378]

126. FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC - the whole damn movie

I wanted someone to fuckin' pay, for cryin' out loud.

:mad:

127. As a science person: "Outbreak" and the X-Files movie

both involved the use of a vaccine to cure diseases their victims had already contracted.

and even if a vaccine could be used as a magical remedy for a galloping viral infection, its absurd to suggest enough could be cultivated to cure an entire town's worth of people from the serum of one monkey within a few hours (like in Outbreak). Puh-leaze.

130. When Thelma & Louise Drive Off Cliff Into The Canyon.

I wish they had gotten away... then we could have had "Thelma & Louise II: On The Run" following their misadventures in Mexico.

[antigone382]

137. You mean they didn't make it to the other side???

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
