I thought of another one I couldn't sit through. Forest Gump.
Oh, that one is horrible. I had the misfortune to watch the last half or so once. Definitely not for me!

My dd and her boyfriend loved MST. I had to get on her, though, about making MST comments when we were watching TV as a family, lol.
Maybe that's why I don't get invited to the movies anymore.... :)

So, so many horror movies work so well as comedy though....

Okay, here goes, my top most hated films ever:
Mosquito Coast with Harrison Ford...almost knocked the infatuation with him right.out.of.the.water.
Star Wars - so this covers six films and again, if Harrison Ford had not become Indiana Jones, it would have been curtains for him in my eyes.
Anything with Keanu Reeves..anything.at.all.
Legends of the Fall...Anthony Hopkins (normally a favorite of mine) could not save this from despair.
Titanic - I was rooting for her to just get it over with and push ole Leondardo's head under the water herself. If had she chosen to leap off the board and die with him, I would have stood up and cheered. Unfortunately, I had 17 middle/high school piano students at the time and ALL OF THEM wanted to learn to play the theme song. I thought I would end up committing suicide. This is TOO MUCH for any one music teacher to endure at one time. Weeks on end of "My Heart will Go On". Dear Lord, please do not allow that heart to keep going, make.it.stop!!!!!!
Oh, and there was some hideous movie back in the late 80's with Jane Fonda...some sort of horror or sci-fi flick. I think it had to do with Aliens and a gate or something. We had to leave. It was get up and go, or pay for professional counseling to get over the immense trauma of watching that film.
And finally, Wayne's World. It makes my brain hurt, very, very badly.
Faith
IIRC, Mosquito Coast had River Phoenix too, didn't it? I vaguely remember seeing it before.
All I remember from Legend of the Falls is long haired Brad Pitt. That was back in his dreamy days.
I have never seen the Titanic and plan on keeping it that way. I have, however, been exposed to a few bits and pieces. I think she should have shared the door, or at least tried! And I love your review of it!!
I love Wayne's World and Bill and Ted. :lol:
I will blatantly ignore Star Wars being on the worst ever movie list. :glare:

I love my reading glasses - i use them as a hair band! Other moms on homeschooling boards are young enough to be my kids.
i was panicking because a 'classic rock' station was playing songs which came out after my oldest was born - but someone told me the station had actually changed their format.
One of the moms in my group is young enough to be my daughter. There is a larger age difference between me and her than me and my mom. She has three kids, I could be grandma!
That doesn't stop us from being friends though. We're going together to get a new piercing in the next week or two. :)

Our classic rock station played a Smashing Pumpkins song the other day. My mom was cracking up at me yelling at the radio that it *can't* be classic rock, because I remember buying the CD (classic rock should come off albums, let's be honest) as soon as it came out. She laughed harder when I said, "What? It was only, like, 17 years ago!" I still say the station was in the wrong.
Yes, I am a firm believer that true classic rock is from the 70s. Not 80s hair bands and certainly not Smashing Pumpkins!

The Robin Hood movie starring Kevin Costner (so funny how he finally just gave up on the English accent). Couldn't be saved even by Morgan Freeman and Alan Rickman. I do, however, love the soundtrack.
The recent Hobbit movie was boring and somewhat ridiculous at times. I only watched to the end because it was family movie night.
I love Robin Hood in spite of Kevin Costner. I love Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman, & Christian Slater, plus I loved the actors who played Little John, Fanny (Little John's wife), and Maid Marian. Definitely have to overlook KC's role in this movie.
I liked The Hobbit too. :)
Well, this might not exactly "count" because it was a made-for-TV movie...
The Star Wars Holiday Special.
It is THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE.
Even though Harrison Ford is in it... and my kid is a Star Wars nut... we lasted maybe ten minutes before watching the rest of it on fast-forward. We just couldn't stomach hours of Wookieespeak without translation. But the grand finale with Princess Leia singing the Star Wars theme redeemed the experience by about 1%.
I haven't seen this yet. One day....
WE sometimes like to watch truly awful movies- generally they are older movies- early 60's or older. I don't know most of the names- like the one where Nazis turn up in a Louisiana swamp and make zombies- oh I found it. It is called Revenge of the Zombies and is a 1943 movie. They aren't supposed to be funny but they are.
These movies are fun b/c you can get all MST3000 on them. :) I love MST3000, though some are not as funny as others.

...you find toys and numerous other items from your childhood while shopping at antique stores.
Or you wish your mom hadn't trashed all your old toys so that you could currently:
a. reap the benefits of having cool vintage toys w/o breaking the bank trying to buy them all back
or
b. sell them for a nice amount if you wanted to
OR you have a brother who claims that all the Star Wars figures and toys were all his alone and he's not sharing, including the Star Wars sheet that he just uses as a lining in the back of his car and likes to flaunt it.

No one has mentioned my two favorite love-to-hates: Starship Troopers and Love Story. My mother kept gushing about how Love Story was such a beautiful movie, but all I could see were two boring, self-absorbed people in the '70s.
My cousin loves Starship Troopers and made me watch it one night. It was definitely interesting, though I've never had the desire to watch it again. I did go ahead and read the book though. :)

So true. Like the fluorescent socks and shirts. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that. Ick.
lol I know. I am so glad I was mostly pre-teen and early teen during that era.

I would love to have a color, wifi laser printer. Right now I have a b/w with no wifi, but I can print so much on it and the refills are so inexpensive. It is a duplex printer.
We have a color AIO inkjet too that just doesn't work right anymore. It won't get on the network, so it's just about useless now. It won't even work when I plug it into my desk top, though it will on my laptop. The printing on it isn't that great anyways, so I've just been using Office Depot if I have a few things I'd like in color.
-
You wore the current fashions the first time they were in style.
This! I've noticed a lot of 80s type stuff coming back. That was fun the first time around, but it is better left in the past.
-
I print everything on plain white copy paper and I have a b/w laser printer. We have a color ink jet that just doesn't work right, so if I really want something in color and it's not too many pages, I just have it printed at Office Depot.
-
Woot! I love finding awesome stuff at thrift stores!

Oh my oh my ohmyohmyohmy!!
Yes, the picture is worth quoting and having in the same thread twice.
Oh dear.

I started looking at the science of the issue, looking at the number of people I went to high school with that actually came out after high school (I'm in my 40s), looking at my relatives that came out (some raised in small town rural very conservative environments, gay not something they would just decide to be on a whim). I looked at the 10 commandments, the scripture to love your neighbor as yourself, the fact we had a gay neighbor at the time was slightly ironic. The fact that if I believe that we are all sinners and fall short, then well, I should stay out of other people's business.
I also still believe that acts that happen behind bedroom doors are private matters. I also believe that as long as it happens between two consenting adults, it's none of my business. It's hard enough to find someone to love you warts and all in this world. Gay marriage and gay relationships don't harm me. They don't make me want to be gay.
This is a country of Americans, the tired poor and hungry, the people yearning to be free, not just the conservative christians. Gay people could live with their partners, but some want to be married, some want equal benefits awarded spouses. Heck, heterosexual people have been screwing up marriage for a really long time, who are we to say gay people have no right. I'm separated and in the midst of divorce. Marriage is hard enough with simply two people in it. When you add politics, wow, difficult. If gay people want to be happy and see if they can increase marriage longevity statistics, have at it.
Many of my friends are gay, bi, or came out after I knew them. It never changed my interaction with them. I think people spend too long looking at the perceived sin of another and forget that they are a person of value. You ain't gotta agree with everything about them to love them and treat them with respect. (Pulling out my Firefly slang) Life is hard, period. We're all in this thing together, that doesn't mean we are clones of each other, but this is humanity, us.
Your post brought tears to my eyes.

I am curious to know what this means.
I think a few other people are too, but nothing has been forthcoming yet.
-
I didn't ask anyone to tiptoe around me. I asked people to not flat out attack me when I wasn't even talking directly to them. Funny how it is me attacking (supposedly) when they are the one who started it.
No one is attacking you.
-
YOU really have NO right to say I am WRONG. I can believe what I want and there is NOTHING you can do about it. YOU are not in charge of my life or what I think. YOU are very arrogant and I am going to report you.
She has every right to say she thinks you're wrong. Just like you have every right to say you think she's wrong.
I say pot-kettle-black for you here, Luanne.
-
Do you really want to get me started on Catholics as well?
I, personally, would love to see you get started on Catholics as well.
-
I know, how could they???
-
Just because they say that, doesn't automatically make it true. They have been conditioned to respond that way.
Wow, I didn't think you could get any more condescending (and wrong) than your last post I quoted.
-
My opinion = all TRUE Christians believe the ENTIRE Bible therefore all TRUE Christians believe homosexuality is a sin.
Oh my goodness.
Luanne, you are Fabulous!
-
I don't really want my son around people who refer to being gay as a "disordered attraction", so, I guess this change is a double win for me!
I have reached my "like quota" again, but I so like your post!

*gasp* Grease? Or did perhaps you mean Grease 2?
Grease is one of my all time favorites. It has been at the top for years and I even saw it in the theatre when I was a young child. It was a family favorite growing up, so I suppose I have fond memories overall of the movie, though I do love the movie for itself. I just saw it again recently in the theatre, it was awesome! :)
