yeah--mulholland drive sucked, and i generally like david lynch movies. maybe it's because i don't smoke pot anymore, and that was the only way i could begin to comprehend his movies.

pumpkin was about the worst movie i'd ever seen!

Funny, Lawn Dogs has a 7.4/10 rating in IMDB, which makes it a bit of a hit.

But some movies that I've really hated have been really popular, too.

For instance, I despised the movie Team America: World Police with nearly every fibre of my being. I mean, I walked out of the cinema wanting to drive out to California and smack both those guys in the face with turd pies, that movie was so bad. And it was bad on so many levels. And yet that movie was a critical favorite, and overwhelmingly popular.

I hated The Royal Tenenbaums. There was one part of it that I chuckled at for three seconds, and the rest of the time I wanted to leave the cinema. And again, another darling of the critics it was.

I didn't like Lost in Translation at all. Absolutely not funny in any way, and not in any way engaging. It was an okay movie, I thought, not worth the money or time to see, but I didn't resent it that much. But the critics raved. The academy awarded the scriptwriter. I was, like, "Whaaaaaaa?"

Oh, and here's one... Closer. Oh, dear God, I absolutely wanted to leave the cinema ten minutes into that movie. Oh, my God, that was the longest two hours of my life. I've had more pleasant trips to the dentist. That was two hours of gruelling, unrelenting, cinematic hell. I just kept wishing the characters would die or get really, really sick or something. Top it all off with the fact that I hate Natalie Portman with the white hot passion of a thouand burning suns. She is the worst actress that has ever worked in Hollywood, ever. Honestly, Natalie Portman makes Traci Lords look like Catherine Hepburn. And somehow, as if she's cast some spell over Tinseltown, she's considered not only good but excellent. Her wooden, monotone, community-theatre-level performances earn her Oscar nominations, while genuine talents like Paul Giamatti are passed over. Not that I'm bitter.
