I have with the exception of a couple of movies. I couldn’t take a second more of “Napoleon Dynomite” and “Talladega Nights”. Both are mind numbingly stupid and awful.
I liked "Napoleon Dynamite" a bit more than you and Rizz did. But, to me, it didn't live up to all the positive hype that surrounded it. :) I never saw "Talladega Nights."
I do like some of Will’s movies: “Old School”, “Step-Brothers”, “Anchor Man”, “Anchor Man 2”, and “Blades of Glory”. To me personally his movies are funny or flat out stupid. “Napoleon Dynamife” is garbage and not funny in the slightest way. All of that hype for such a lame movie.
I liked "Napoleon Dynamite" a bit more than you and Don Barzini did. But, to me, it didn't live up to all the positive hype that surrounded it. :) I never saw "Talladega Nights."

I can't remember ever not watching an entire movie.
I remember thinking "Forrest Gump" would never end, though! To me, an excessively overrated movie and overrated irritating Tom Hanks performance. (I liked Sally Field the best.) :) I know I'm in the minority in my thoughts about the movie.
I find Hank's comic acts very irritating, but his straight roles often magnificently well done. But in Forrest Gump he hadn't a hope of playing the role of a simpleton; he couldn't prevent the alert awareness and intelligence from shining out of his eyes.
I thought the Gump's character and the plot were improbable to the point of ridiculous, the delivery was sentimental to the point of kitsch and sweet to the point of sickly.

Thanks! :) I'm so quirky about many things that I don;t know anyone with quite the same worldviews. Or maybe that's just everyone in this culture that so values individualism. I find it strangely comforting when I discover someone who agrees on even one thing.
Not if it's on TV because I haven't had to spend anything to sit down and watch it. If we're talking about going out to see a movie, or hiring one on DVD, I usually have a good instinct for whether I'll enjoy it or not before I make a commitment to watch it. There have been a couple in recent years that I abandoned half way through. One was the South Park Movie. Another was a black and white 1930s movie starring a comedian called WC Fields - I normally like old comedies and he was supposed to be a comic genius, but his style of humour just didn't appeal to me.
"Probably ... at least the first time." I'm pretty selective about the actors/actresses I watch, so if I choose the movie because they're in it ... I'd watch it all.
Hi Alf~ :) It's been a while since we've had a second to interact. It's great to see you and I can see you giving everything "the benefit of the doubt." I would too, if my attention span was that long. Big Giggles! Nooo, I try but I always have other pressing things to do. I enjoy being entertained by the TV. It's on in our house all the time for background sound. It started when our dog Chance was alive. If we had to leave her for any period of time, we would leave the TV on for her. I assume I am now like Chance. I need background sound. Babbling about entirely something that has nothing to do with this question. Sorry D&D and Alf. But, thanks for reading. Love, Merlin. I'm off to work in 15 minutes. Have a great day! :) :)
I haven't had cable TV in about six years and I can only get two radio stations where I live ... neither one worth listening to. If I really needed background noise, I'd just put my iTunes on a loop and that would do it. It also has SatRadio stations, but I have a big enough music library that I don't need them.
"Chance" ... pick the name from the movie "Hard Target," did ya? :))
