View Full Version : Movies You DON'T Want.
Classical TV shows turned into movies.
They've stabbed, raped, lynched, and buried Bewitched, the Dukes of Hazzard, and the Munsters. The Adams Family wasn't that bad, but come on now. Now I hear they're going to turn the Jeffersons into a movie. Once they do I Love Lucy I'll just drive up to Hollywood myself and burn it down.
They're good ideas if done right, and if they pay excellent tribute to the original TV shows. Take Bewitched (movie). Darren is a producer/director wanting to remake the Bewitched TV series, and needs to find an actress able to play her. Well it just so happens Samantha, an ACTUAL witch, ends up auditioning---and I never got past that. Turned it off, and ended up watching Sky High (neat little movie, by the way).
This is why we have box DVD sets.
And I'm tired of all of these gang-bangin' movies. ATL, Get Rich or Die Trying, etc. They're old, and personally, I find it degrading to the African American community. They put it out there as if that's all we do. Walk around these big cities loaded with ammo, drugs, and hookers from corner to corner, swearing from beginning to credits, using the most obscene and extreme vulgarity that is allowed before it becomes NC-17 rated, and the violence is just out of this world.

Any Wayans Brother's comedies. I can accept the loss of "Scary Movie" if it means there will never be another "Little Man".

Danceoff movies
Those crappy movies where they show teenaged people dance in some stupid competition and the music is always the same R&B and Rap Bull. And its always the white girl going too the school with mostly black kids and her learning too dance and I just hate those things. I want htem too die. Thank you

I hate how they film the fight scenes in new action movies. Like the camera is glued to someone's finger. The camera swings all around and I can never see anything. I like how in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon the camera was fairly back, and you could actually see what the hell was going on.

No freaking kidding. That's seriously one of my biggest pet peeves. Pretentious American directors could learn a lot from studying any number of classic Hong Kong action flicks, and how they actually let you see the action. Blurry camera and speed editing was my only real complaint about Batman Begins.

The only time I've seen it done where it actually looks good is in the movie The Bourne Supremacy. But it too, used alot of cut in close camera angles, but it gave the fights a more gritty look.
Personally, I love Bruce Lee movies for the best fight scenes. He never had to fake a scene and use fancy camara angles to cover crap up.
NO MORE FOOTBALL/BASKETBALL/HOCKEY movies. God almighty. They're all the same.

Jackie Chan's kung fu films are great too! Drunken Master! And he does his own stunts too. In fact a good portion of his films have outtake reels at the end actually showing him shooting scenes with various limbs in casts or braces.
And you're right about Bourne Supremacy. Though that car crash scene. Oh my gosh! It felt like you were in it with him. I remember the whole threater going dead silent at the end of that.

Actually any movie directed by Rob Zombie. Why do they let that guy direct. Now he's out to destroy "Halloween". If it ain't broke don't fix it! As for the above two quotes. I like blood and gore. And it should be rated R, however there is this thing called PLOT that should go along with it. Halloween (the original) is brilliant and messes with your mind. Halloween parts 3 through whatever are stupid slasher flicks! (exception is H2O which was actually good to a point).
I go to a horror film to actually be scared. Exorcist and the Omen actually scared the crap out of me (I actually found the stairs the priest falls down over in Georgetown when I went to Washington DC). None of the current crop of "horror" films really scares me. The directors are going for a gross out factor and have forgotten there is more to a movie than make-up and special effects.

I can't belive nobody's said the obvious:
No more Uwe Boll movies.

No more movies based on Alan Moore's books.
No more football, basketball, baseball, or hockey movies. They're all the same. Friday Nights Lights is to Remember the Titans (which is in a class of its own; awesome movie, but using it as an example) as Coach Carter (awesome movie; just an example) is to Glory Road.
They're always about some low-life deliquent teens in poor neighborhoods and bad schools, who end up getting a new coach and disciplined, and then win all these games (which are shown in clips and the "newspaper article approach"), and then ends with that championship game in which they win.

Um, may I ask what movie was so bad it prompted you to post that twice? :look:

I'm guessing it's the Mighty Ducks. And going by sequels, I imagine he can repost it a few more times.
That said, Slapshot was a great movie with none of the problems Yin lists, and I like The Replacements more every time I see it. North Dallas 40 isn't a bad one either, and parts of Any Given Sunday are pretty good, even if the movie was average all and all.

Yeah, Slapshot was awesome.
Slapshot 2....
Well, let's just say I don't want a Slapshot 3.

Baseball movies and golf movies too. Or, for that matter, anything with Kevin Costner in it. :rolleyes:

I left because of that.
Also, I hate the sports movies with this story:
Undisciplined, bad kids in a bad neighborhood. Man comes in. Man puts together a sports team. Man teaches the bad kids hope, courage and discipline. Sports team goes to championship as the underdog. Nobody thinks that underdog team will win. Underdog team wins and teaches everyone the meaning of hope.
There's a million, the latest one being "Girdiron Gang".
