The Good Thief (2002)

ruggedcrane14 said:This movie easily sits at the top of my list for the absolute dumbest things I’ve ever watched. I made it to the 1:46 mark, but those last ten minutes? I just couldn't do it. I genuinely felt like if I sat through the end, my stomach ulcer was going to give up on life... and hey, health comes first. I gave it a 1/10 on IMDb strictly because they won't let you input a zero, though honestly, this deserves an -8. If you know anything about math, you'll know exactly what I mean by that... Gerard Butler used to be a great actor before this came along, but after this, I’m done with his entire filmography, unless my wife forces my hand (much like how Butler was forced by the South Koreans in this flick). All things considered, regardless of how massive the budget was, they should have just used that money to feed people in starving nations, or burned it in a pile, or literally anything else. This movie is a crime against humanity. Everyone involved in making this belongs in a maximum-security prison in the middle of nowhere...

over & out

In this quote, you could probably swap Butler for Butler Willis and it would basically be a review of the new Die Hard

The idea of using irony—or perhaps I should call it parody—to poke fun at the classic roles those actors have played is certainly a clever concept... but the actual execution? It just doesn't hit the mark.

In the end, it all boils down to three old men running around pretending they've still got that youthful spark—when, in reality, they just come across as pathetic and ridiculous...

Exactly so...

It simply doesn't get any better than the original

We are talking about torture and murder here. Law enforcement is fully aware of the situation—after all, the people involved in the production ended up behind bars because of it.

Yeah

Take a look at my question, and then you'll see why...

Fair enough, my mistake... even though I did include a warning... But look, kids have been watching stuff like that on other forums for over a year now, and they can easily just download something like "A Mexican Film" from the internet anyway.

For those who haven't caught wind of this yet—we are talking about a documentary record of actual murder, torture, and sexual assault...
I recently attempted to start a discussion on this topic by posting a link to a certain snuff film that has been sitting on a forum since back in June 2009. Within a matter of minutes, I was slapped with a warning and a temporary ban from using this board.
So, how is it even possible for a film like that to remain online for such an extended period? Is it actually legal, and who is responsible for scrubbing such filth from the web? Who am I supposed to report this to?

vepar said:Not great. Statham is predictably solid enough—but Natalya Rudakova is just terrible; she simply lacks any acting range (apparently, the story goes that Besson spotted her walking out of a hair salon, asked if she wanted a role in his new script, and then basically paid for a few months of acting lessons 🤣 )—and what makes it worse is that her character is incredibly grating (it’s equally unbelievable that Frank would fall for her). As for the action, unlike the first two films, the scenes are shot in such a way that you can't even blink if you want to catch anything—there are so many rapid cuts that I practically had to hunch over just to follow along (except for one involving a bike, which is easily the only decent action sequence in the whole movie). The plot isn't anything to write home about, either.

I completely agree, especially regarding that irritating actress.
I actually liked the bit with the bracelet (not going to spoil which one)

Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty

You're Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty! You tend to drift toward solitude—perhaps even a bit of arrogance—and you certainly feel the sting when you find yourself left out of the loop. It takes you a long time to move past a slight... honestly, I feel like it could take you sixteen years just to recover from being snubbed at a party! Plus, you possess quite a temper—and you aren't exactly shy about taking it out on anyone standing in your way.

I was reading an interview he gave recently. He mentioned that he only "had" to take that role in Good Job over in Italy because of some contract obligation—otherwise, he’d never touch a piece of garbage like that... He also claimed he actually wrote the screenplay for Frida, only to have it stolen from him. And honestly, he couldn't care less about the Oscars; in his view, they're all rigged anyway...

I completely lost my train of thought regarding Vanishing Point...

They actually skipped over the best part!!!!!! Right when he punches that guy square in the nose! Absolute heretics...

It isn’t exactly trash—not by any means—but I really feel like they shouldn't have cast this particular group... These actors are clearly meant for cinematic masterpieces, especially when you consider their collective caliber. That said, it does seem like it could work as a solid TV series...

Snake Eyes

Jean-Claude Van Damme

What kind of music is even this?

They both stand an equal chance

Look, some people learn through their own experiences, while others—well, they learn by watching everyone else trip up. You can see how smoothly Govinda managed to navigate his way through it all...
