AeonFlux is pretty bad, I watch it every few years. Never saw the show.
The show is awesome, but it’s about 30% Twilight Zone, 20% Ghost in the Shell, and 50% incomprehensibly kinky fetish so esoteric that the censors didn’t know that it ought to have been censored for TV release.
Wildzero.
You’ve probably never heard of it but you should watch it. if you’re in your 20s and have the liver of a god then also try the drinking game.
It’s a Japanese film from the late 90s/early 00s that stars the Japanese Rockabilly band “Guitar Wolf”. the band consists of the lead, Guitar Wolf, as well as Bass Wolf and Drum Wolf. The film is ahead of its time, especially for Japan, as far as current social issues. I can’t say which ones specifically as that would spoil the movie.
The film is centered around a fan of Guitar Wolf that wants to be as big a star as them. It is also a zombie movie. How the zombies came to be is believe to be from aliens but doesn’t really specify how exactly. Nor does it specify the aliens intents and purposes but they’re in the movie just…they’re in the movie. There’s also at least like 3 subplots that don’t go anywhere or really have any effect on the overall movie.
It’s awesome.
Repo! The Genetic Opera. I stopped recommending it after five separate people all said they hated it lol
Struggling with whether to up vote or down vote, because Repo is an amazing movie. Its definitely not for everyone, though, so I would give a recommendation without knowing the person’s taste.
Fascinating, because I’ve watched this movie with multiple people and never had any of them dislike it. I can’t say it’s a good movie but it’s certainly a experience
I love this movie and I will never stop recommending it
Spiderman 3
I feel like people got the wrong idea based on their criticism of Peter during his descent into evil.
Hackers, Waterworld, The Postman
Them: “Waterworld is crap, it’s just Mad Max on water”
Me: “that sounds awesome”
Monsters vs Aliens. One of the most fun and referenceable movies of all time.
Movie 43
Suicide Squad featuring Will Smith. Dog water movie but it gets my monkey brain somehow
They really had something there with Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. The aesthetic of the movie is cool, I didn’t hate watching it in theaters even though it’s pretty dumb.
Street Fighter
It’s terrible. Almost nobody can act. I suspect none of the writers had even looked at the game beyond a few screenshots. The script and plot are laughable.
But then Raul Julia shows up. He knows this is crap. But his kids love the games. He’s literally dying of stomach cancer in every scene. He knows this is his last movie. He’s going to fucking enjoy it, and so are you.
For you it’s a guilty pleasure, for others it’s just Tuesday.
Spaceballs, it just makes fun of itself and the space genre that existed at the time, the dancing alien is still ridiculous even now.
Resident Evil: welcome to Raccoon City.
I will die in this hill, it’s a decent movie even if it’s not 100% with the source material
friend?
I once made a list of 7 movies that fit this criteria.
The Room, because duh. This movie is great because it is so terrible and sincerely thinks it is great. The story behind the movie is just as fantastic. If you must, get a hold of The Disaster Artist as an audio book. It is fantastic. Ignore and forget that piss tier James Franco movie that the book was based on. The book is so much better and it is hysterical to listen to in Greg’s own voice + his Tommy impressions are perfect.
Winter’s Tale - a supposed Adaptation of a Shakespeare play or something. In reality it is the most chaotic and hilariously terrible movie I can think of, complete with terrible Colin Firth haircut and Will Smith as an edge lord Devil. And so many more great things. I had a blast watching this one.
Jupiter Ascending. If I remember correctly, it was made by the siblings who made the Matrix and it is the most nonsensical sci-fi turd ever, but man is it funny. Unintentionally, might I add. I don’t remember much from this film other than laughing so hard I was crying.
The Wicker Man woth Nick Cage. I love the original. That one is genuinely great and terrifying. The Nick Cage one is a clown show and no one can tell me that it isn’t funny to see Nick Cage in a bear suit, punching women.
Show Girls. For obvious reasons. A total and utter mishandling of a very serious and at times horrific subject matter, but mishandled so poorly it surpasses being offensive and falls straight into hilarity.
Breaking Dawn Part 2. Martin Sheens laugh. Renesmee doll that was replaced with CGI horror. Grown man imprinting on a baby. Martin Sheen’s laugh. Fakeout fight scene that made all the dead serious fangirls scream and cry in the cinema on release. “You nicknamed my daughter after the loc nest monster??” Also, Martin Sheen’s laugh.
The Death Note Netflix Adaptation. I invited my anime friends to a watch along when this movie came out initially, because I knew what would happen when I did. The anger and outrage was interspersed with bewildered and hysterical laughter and replays of scenes that were so bad, nobody could believe their eyes. I was just there to sow the chaos at the time and harvest the reactions. It was wonderful.
Bonus movie: Velvet Buzzsaw, but it doesn’t count because I genuinely think this one is a great satire and I genuinely enjoy the movie. It’s just that almost everybody else who’s seen it, seem to loathe it with a passion. So it’s a reverse Killers of the Flower Moon for me, where everybody seem to love it, while I think it is total and utter ass. In both cases, I am left confused at the public opinion and I will stick with mine.
I think Jupiter ascending is a beautiful film, visually. Reincarnated princess falls in love with a space furry and Newt has mommy issues. Just mute it and play some music instead. There isn’t really a plot to miss.
John dies at the end, I really like the book series and some of the lines are great but overall a poorly edited garbage movie
Most of the Halloween movies, resident evil, and underworld are sloppy messes I’m here for just to see how weird they go
And a bunch of the cheap, pulp horror like Troma and actiony Neil Breen that aren’t on most streaming services
I loved the John dies at the end series, I didn’t know they were adapted into a movie!
If you loved the book, you would probably not like the movie.
Holy shit, there are others! I fucking loved the movie, considering the budget they did an OK job, it’s only like 1/3 of the book that has been randomized, but it gives that taste of the truly strange that is so rare to find. It’s a trash ass film, though, through and through. Great cast, though.
The books are my all time favorite series, I can’t wait for the next one. Have you read any of Jason Pargin’s other books? They’re all bangers.
Hudson Hawk, Bruce Willis’ longtime passion project where he and Danny Aiello play singing cat burglars.
I genuinely love it despite it not being very good at all. Saw it in the theater knowing nothing at all about it.
God that movie is awful. I love it.
Lethal Weapon #4
The plot is “have seen it before, many times”.
The stunts are “have seen it before, and after, many times”.
But I just love their jokes.
Lethal Weapon 4 is a masterpiece compared to the dumpster fire Lethal Weapon 5 quickly turned into. So much unnecessary full frontal nudity and I’m pretty sure the guy playing Roger Murtaugh was wearing blackface.
Lethal Weapon 5 hasn’t been made yet.
What was it that you saw…?
Edit: wait those guys look familiar
Edit2: Goddamn it
