That is true in almost every case. The only two movies that were better than the book that immediately come to mind were Jaws and Star Wars episode4.

If I can put up with Elves in Helms Deep you can overlook Mel storming the NVA camp.


Sorry I don't like people trying to pass off fiction as truth.  But then I'm not a Michael Moore fan either...

The worst part is that Moore, Galloway, Crandall, etc. endorsed the movie so strongly.  They are either sellouts or liars.

Finally I decided to rent "we were soldier" ...
and in the 1st 2 minute it was done...

In the legion the officiers wear a black "képi" not a white one ...
The beret is not oriented left but right

My mistake this time was to see the film with a real soldier :D

I liked Sideways... In fact I thought it was hilarious.

I guess it's a "had to be there" kind of thing. And I can honestly see why some would come away thinking it sucked.

I just saw a movie last night that's kinda flown under the radar... The Assassination of Richard Nixon. It was almost painful to watch. Not because the movie was bad - it wasn't. But because the main character's (are you sitting down? - Sean Penn's) melt down was a slow-burn downward spiral the likes of which ya don't really see in movies.

I'm still trying to figure out if the movie was any good... but no matter what the verdict... that guy slays dragons.

Had to be there?  There wasn't even one character in the entire movie that I woulda spent an hour with.  well... maybe the women if we didn't have to go to their house and if they didn't speak.

and... let's see... you say you seen a movie where sean penn had an emotional meltdown?   well... I bet no one seen that one coming!   what a shocker that must have been to you... next you will tell me that he cried in the movie.

Heh, yeah.

I've spent countless hours with people I didn't want to spend time with. Those two reminded me of about 10 of them. It was pretty fricken funny to me.

well... I have spent time with people I didn't like either but.... I had control of the situation... just sitting there helplessly and having to watch it was painful to me... If I could have reached out and smacked em on the back of the head or insulted em enough to get em angry or teary eyed it would have been ok...

but to have to sit and watch it!    and pay!   That is like actually going to a movie that you know sean penn is in.

I have done bad things in my life and will probly be begging for shade in hell but.... I didn't deserve to have to see that movie.

Different strokes for different folks aint that right? :)

I've probably seen more movies that I've disliked than I've seen movies that I liked. The difference is, at least for me, I tend to forget the bad movies even happened. But if I see something I like, then I might say something about it.

I 'd have guessed all French things were oriented left. Guess that'd be wrong in this one case :D
