Talk about that new Hemingway adaptation or anything else in the theatre.

Kill Bill
Gladiator (and all the historical blood and violence "film for the short attention spans" cash-ins that came from it)
Matrix 2+3
Ring (American remake, I've not seen the original)
Independance Day (We've had to watch this in Film Studies...dear god...it's more hilarious than anything)
It's not funny.

If you want a film that's so bad because it's not even funny, try the arse-numbingly boring three hours of French Art-house called L'Intrus. It basically is The Ocean Walker because it's meant to be incredibly deep when it is, in fact, the most colossal balls.

First he's sleeping with the chemist, then he goes downstairs, kills someone who I thought was the chemist, but then he goes back upstairs and carries on sleeping with the chemist, so, not. He is followed round by a Russian woman, gets an illegal heart transplant and then is dragged around in the snow on the back of said Russian's motorbike leaving a trail of blood. He now inexplicably goes to Korea and buys a cruiseliner. Don't ask me where he got the money. He then turns up on a small island near Haiti, builds a hut and finds his illegitimate son, except it isn't really. Then his real son, who when we last checked was back in France turns up in the island's morgue. And - Oh NO! it seems that the illegal transplant used his son's heart and thusly he killed his real son. Except I have a feeling it may have been a really clunky metaphor, so maybe it didn't really happen. He then puts his son and his fake-ilegitimate-son on his cruiseliner and sails off.

I wanted to kill myself. So did everyone else in the cinema - I know, we discussed it.

Perhaps that was the filmmaker's intention.

Wow--Kill Bill? I definitely can't cosign that one, loved every minute. Maybe I'm misguided or something.

I guess I'm not a constant action type of guy, I like periods where nothing happens, like in Lost In Translation or Collateral. Films where there's action or dialogue or explosions every 3 seconds bore me. I didn't mind Pulp Fiction however...

I prefer to substitute the line "I hate sand... It's so... sandy" because quite frankly it's better written and at least I get a laugh out of it.

Oh, and how embarrased would you be if he did die now. *awkward*

I was a young girl and Hayden Christensen was pretty.

Okay, so The Last Kiss? So much less than the sum of its parts it's not even funny. Neither was the movie, when it was supposed to be. Sometimes it was, but during the serious moments.
I miss Scrubs. A month cannot pass quickly enough.
Note to self: You are now an Andre Braugher fan.
