Am I the only person in the world who just doesn't get any of the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter movies? I try to engage with them but I just get bored.
But give me a slow moving movie in which practically nothing seems to happen, and I'm completely hooked. Loved Danny Collins (no relation to our former charlatan defender) recently, for example.

Fucking Annie Hall- what a bag of shite that is.
Anything with Herbie the Volkswagen Beetle in it, about as funny as a knitting needle up the anus.

Everybody raves about him but I just don't find him funny at all. I liked the original 1960s Lovebug movie when I was a kid, but saw it recently and thought it was crap. |

The Godfather.
Marlon Brando's cotton wool performance is laughable.
As a resuit I'vw avoided them all since.
Anything with Robin Williams in it.

Four Weddings and a Funeral what an absolute load of sentimental, stereotyping, supercilious shite. Hated every minute. Absolute bollocks. Hugh I'm a nice harmless guy you'll love Grant = uber smackable. Must have been written for the American market because it was just so clichéd, utter cobblers, dreadful, dreadful, awful
Sad face

Shawswank Pretension. I found out it is the most popular film ever made which left me feeling like a stranger amongst my own species.
And still nobody has explained how he gets the poster back on the wall. ☺

What you are kidding Monty Python movies are just brilliant and the DVD from their reunion gigs last year is brilliantly made with a mixture of old and new Python sketches. I suppose it's a matter of opinion though....one mans meat and all that. I have a four box set of Python Movies and often watch them. I've even got the grand kids hooked. Expanding on the same theme though I had the great misfortune of being conned into shelling out £35 to go and see the musical 'Wicked'". What a waste of 3 hours of my life that was. At worst a bunch of actors trying to conjure up a story that I didn't have a fucking clue about and at best a karaoke show. I did complain to the theartre and got a couple of complimentary tickets to the musical play "The Curious Case of the Dog in the Night Time". A very good thought provoking production. |

Did you complain again you tight arse No but the Mrs banned me from going with her to the theartre because I moaned so much during and after Wicked. I missed "Top Hat" as a punishment which I really wanted to watch. She's reluctantly agreed to let me go with her to watch "Jersey Boys" in a couple of weeks but I have to be on my best behaviour. |
