    Being forced to watch the movie Battlefield Earth.  

    (And of course, being left alive after a nuclear holocaust.)

  • Terrible movie but still not as bad as Avatar.

    I thought I was the only one who thought Avatar was terrible.   But, TBH, for me, it still didn't stink up the joint the way Battlefield Earth did.

  • Avatar was one of the worst  movies I've ever seen.  James Cameron is a terrible movie maker and it baffles me how many people excuse his terrible story telling with his over abundance of  special effects and gimmicks.

    I agree.   They excuse it like they excuse writers who churn out garbage after hitting it big with a couple of bestsellers.  Early on he had a couple of real hits in Terminator & Aliens. Personally, I think he's gone downhill slowly from there.  I will probably get a lot of flack from people here but I hated Titanic too. This post was edited by Harry at April 18, 2017 5:23 PM MDT

  • I don't even think Alien is all that good a film or franchise to be honest.  It's painfully slow and has little plot or character depth.

    Eh.  I liked the first one.  But, I'll allow you your opinion because I am nothing if not fair.

  • To be fair the sequels might have made me dislike the first one more.

    Titanic was a really boring movie.   We can agree on that.

    You aren't different.  Glis and I are.  Most people agree with you.  I have never met anyone else who didn't like Titanic.  For me it was a snoozefest.

  • I know quite a few people who hate.   Some are even women!

    Not to mention it has Celine Dion songs in it.  >BLECH<

    Anyone I've met who brings it up, talks about it as being one of the greatest movies of our time. I guess I need to spend time interviewing various people about whether they like it or not.  

    Nah.  That's not gonna happen.  I'd have to care.  And I don't.

  • It's way too long.   Could have been done and told in a 1/3 of the time.   The only good part is when Leonardo DiCaprios character finally dies.  It's too bad the old lady doesn't have a slow heart attack while telling her sappy story.

  • I was mad at my then girlfriend for days after making sit through that tripe. 3 god damn hours! Made my ass and head sore.   She was the same HS girlfriend who made go see that Romeo and Juliet trainwreck.   Clara Daines could have shown her tits and it wouldn't have been any better.

    From what I've heard, that's never going to happen. That bad boy is doing well. This post was edited by Zack at April 18, 2017 7:58 AM MDT

  • I thought I was the only one who thinks Will Farrel is mind numbing torture.
