There are some movies I felt like walking out of the theater or was embarassed to watch (Nothing but Trouble is one). This isn't that. You just have to accept what it is going into it....and then when you watch it be prepared to have a bunch of questions unanswered (like what happens to that character when the move is over? or why didn't they do that scene a little differently to make it a lot better? The message they are trying to get across would have been better if they did this scene differently, why didn't they?) The good news is its not that long of a movie, if you don't like it, you AREN'T stuck in the theater for 2.5+ hours. Wait a minute, here. Nothing But Trouble? The same Nothing But Trouble that stars The Digital Underground ft. Tupac Shakur, while also featuring Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, John Candy and Demi Moore? That Nothing But Trouble? Funniest movie a 7 year old can hope for! Loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the worst movie I ever saw. The closest to walking out of a theater I ever remember (even though I was a teenager when it came out). It was so bad to me I felt embarassed watching it. Embarassed for the actors in it, especially Dan Akroyd. My cousin on the other hand thinks its good. But of the hundreds and hundreds of movies I have seen in my life, I think it is the worst.

Is that Akroyd as a creepy old guy? I have no idea why that's actually coming to mind right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I saw that flick. But the IMDB rating is 5.1 (out of 10), so I think I’ll skip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 So I finally saw Interstellar last night. I gotta say -- I didn't like it at all. Long, tendentious, weepy, redundant and filled with gibberish. And I like scifi! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long, tendentious, weepy, redundant and filled with gibberish. And I like scifi! Length is becoming a big issue for me. If a movie is long (over 2 hours, or 3 hours for sure) I'm already reluctant to invest time in it. I like Sci-fi (especially the stuff in space) so right now the best thing I'm watching is Strange New Worlds. Each episode is independant of the others (not like with most 'shows' where the story goes across episode to episode) but the quality is so good that its like I'm watching a movie-quality plot but each one in an hour or less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you watched Black Mirror (on Netflix). Similar format, sci-fi, each episode an independent story under 1 hour. It’s very high quality.

At this point I don't get why he has to be canceled and prevented from participating in society.
