    (/Me waves the topic bye-bye...)

    C'mon, EEK, Memento's ending wasn't really all that great, either. Yeah, yeah, the way the characters develop on the finishing line is quite well done, but the fact that Hugo Weaving (I can't remember his character's name, sorry.) has to basically relay half the backstory in his thirteen last lines doesn't exactely spell quality to me, either. Yes, there's the photo, foreshadowing it all a bit, but seeing the magnitude of the revelation, it seems like quite an afterthought.

    Agreed, the 'if you, so I' resolution of Fight Club was a little lacking, as well, but it was in my perception in the same league.

    It was certainly better then someone managing to make enough explosives to blow up 7 commercial offices (with enough pyrotechnical skills to make them look like they just got owned in Independence Day), and somehow think that was going to have a Deus-Ex-like effect on the world's financial situation..

    Heh, now let's slow down. Are the explosions at the end overly aesthetic? Yup. Is it so unlikely that a really mean amount of explosives, planted at the right spot, might topple a skyscraper? Granted, if the architect was worth his money, it is, but the suspension of disbelief works for me. As for it having a 'DX-like effect', I'd argue the ultimate futility of Project Mayhem is included in the message of the movie.

    Well they should've made that futility more clear because to me it looked like a writer who had drank too many chemicals under the sink. Personally *I* knew it was futile but in the movie I'm watching it's good to have things like that present themselves rather then make the audience guess. There was no 'revelation' in the movie where he realizes that Project Mayhem is a big joke. They just ended it as h stands there with his hobo girlfriend and watch stuff blow up (while his head has a hole in it <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> ).

    Heh, actually, <a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0805062971/qid=1096833768/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_2_1/104-6000279-6559167' target='_blank'>Palahniuk</a> is considered an outstanding writer. I assume a part of the book was as usually lost during the conversion to screen, though. And if I was a director, faced with a number of unresolved and quite difficult narrative threads once the time's up, I'd settle for an open, ambivalent ending, which you've got to admit the final frame conveys.

    Hell, I gotta get myself a paperback of 'Survivor' as soon as I'm flush again.

    Well, if my expectations hadn't been so high in seeing it I probably wouldn't have been disappointed so much, but the only reason I wasted $5 to rent the DVD is cause everybody was all "omg Fight Club!

    But here's another one.

    Armageddon.


    Deep Impact is to Broadway, Armageddon is to the school's talent show.

    Unconvincing plot, overused special effect, ridiculous set, apparently no scientific advisors.

    God knows what people see in Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay. Have yet to like any of their films.

    (Moving camera, explosions, special effects is not action)

    Oh yes!

    First an hour of brainless silly patriotism and then an hour of drilling a damn asteroid. The suspense! The thrill! The bad writing! The awful Aerosmith tune with bad lyrics! It's all there, man. Armageddon makes grown men cry.

    Deep Impact was so bad that when I went to see it at the theatre by the time the film was halfway through everyone in the packed audience had totally stopped watching; everyone was chattering away, one or two people left and generally nobody knew nor cared what really happened in the last half of the film... in the entire audience not one person gave an aerial simian.

    The characters were so bland I wanted them all to die... horribly... even then I'd probably struggle to gain a glimpse of actually giving a damn.

    The Blair Witch Project 2: Book of Shadows is the <b>only</b> film I've ever actually wanted my money back for. Seriously. Deep Impact may have been so dull it causes a sudden outbreak of ADD in even the most focussed of individuals but even then I didn't want my money back for it; this film made me angry I'd wasted my time and cash on it.

    Alien 3 is the only movie I've <b>ever</b> fallen asleep in... I even watched the whole of ice age (which was fun anyways) after 2 days without sleep without feeling drowsy while fully rested I couldn't last the course of alien 3 my first time viewing it ^^;

    Erm, Hugo Weaving isn't in Memento. You're either thinking of Guy Pierce or Joe Pantoliano. For me, Memento is up there with LA Confidential, The Godfather, Alien/Aliens, Apocalypse Now and other classics. Just utterly magical.

    Worst film, however, easily goes to <a href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0145464/' target='_blank'>Shotgun</a>. It's so bad, words can't begin to describe the despair you feel upon watching it.

    Is that to you a sign of a really bad film, or do you just want to say that it was way too slow? I'd agree on the latter.

    My apologies, I meant Pantoliano. I agree that Memento is a really good movie, but it just didn't 'click' for me - ironically, the same can be said for Godfather and, to an extent, Alien (I actually preferred A3. Don't hurt me, Gem.). I agree with the rest of your list, though.

    I loved Aliens, and Alien. As a matter of fact, Aliens is one of my favorite movies. Alien was a bit slower, and had less genuine action...it was more a thriller than action, but none the less was good.


    Aliens 3 was 32457839475 times better than Aliens: Ressurection. I think its the only thriller/horror movie that made me laugh. The super alien thing reminded me of my 3 week old cousin. MOMMY OMG I LOVE YOU. OMG WHY ARE YOU KILLING ME WTH

    Alien and aliens have to be the worst movies ever.

    I mean WTH? These movies have nothing but bad points.


    1. Girls killing aliens (LOL ATTACK, aliens rule women FYI)

    2. They were made like CENTURIES ago. They probably didn't even have television, which is why they look so bad.

    3. NO REAL ALIENS (WTH alien movies without aliens? WHATEVER! *rolls eyes*)

    4. The whole concept is stupid. Aliens that need humans to procreate, but they never even met eachother before? JEAH RIGHT~

    noes!
    the aliens(xenomorph) are actually biomechanical weapons engineered by another species of aliens called the Space Jockeys. If you remember in Alien, the crew went inside this "bone ship" and there was a huge humanoid figure, as if made with bones too, sitting behind some sort of telescope or something. Thats the Space Jockeys.

    And so, Xenomorphs are created much like a parasite, implanting eggs into its victims, bursting out of the chest bla bla
