that movie should have been U-505.
Adm. Gallery's book about that would have been a good basis for the movie

Beg to differ, Skuzzy -- Pulp Fiction is one of the best films.  Challenging plot sequence is quite daring, and it works big time.

For a really lousy film, how about any of the latest Bill Murray Stone Face farces?  How could one of the great comedians think great drama is commensurate with least emotion?

Murray strives for Death of a Salesman and achieves Death of a Comedian.

Pushing Tin comes to mind as a colossal failure.  

And I've been on the U505 a number of times.  You're so right that they should have made the movie around that sub.

Only 2 movies I've never managed to sit all the way through- Entrapment and Alexander. Both were so Fn godawful that I turned them off.

I'm seriously considering suing Oliver Stone two get those two hours of my life back after Alexander, and I had Entrapment back at the Blockbuster I rented it from in less elapsed time than it would take to sit through the whole thing.

Wing Commander follows closely behind, but at least I made it to the credits on that POS.

EDIT- Almost forgot- never made it all the way through Being John Malkovitch either. Never laughed once and was so bored I turned it off and went to do the dishes.

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I remember being young, staying up late at night, watching that crappy film in anticipation of seeing the alien.  

I wanted slime, i wanted lots of legs and eyes, i wanted green skin... and it was her ****ing dad.

what a disappointment.


okay, i can agree with you on that...huge let down, but i felt that it was nicely counter balanced by that long bit of total silence in the beginning of the film when the "camera" extended beyond the earths first radio transmittions.

for some reason i really enjoyed that,

i have to attest to alexander, that film was so boring. i don't even know how it ended, just turned off the TV, it was a total waste of time.

i'd agree with furby on contact, the dad bit was really lame. you see her travel across the galaxy, see a huge alien world, then see her dad on a beach? what the hell is that?!?!

I liked them. Not how they ended. But I did.

TOPGUN.  Filming was absolutely great...everything else sucked.

Stupidest film editing:  Maverick goes into a flat spin...over the desert....lands in the ocean about 80 miles away.  

Stupidest line of the movie:  "Maverick's in a spin....and he's headed out to sea!"

Stupidest character:  A hot blond PHd with fishnet stockings teaching TOPGUN students tactics.  If this movie really wanted to be accurate she, and about 10 other chicks would have actually been boffed in the O'club head and that's the only time you'd see them in the entire movie.

Second stupidest line:  "She's a civilian so you DON'T salute her!"  (as freaking if)

Stupidest event:  All four catapults on a CVN convieniently go down right after Maverick is launched.

Sapiest moment:  Does any freaking moron really believe we fly with pictures of our loved ones stuck in our instrument panels???

Most accurate shouldhavegonefurther moment:  Boffing a chick on the countertop in the men's head at the O'club.

Stupidest tactic:  The famous aileron roll guns defense.

I got in trouble with my girlfriend for making fun of AI while watching it. One of my comments was "The aliens are so advanced they travel in cardboard boxes."
