What I hate so much about Prometheus is mainly
1. It lifts the fantastic mystique of "Alien" surrounding the creature and the alien ship, but to add insult to injury, does it so artlessly that I have to make a conscious effort to pretend Prometheus doesn't exist (or isn't canon) when I watch Alien.
2. It is an insult to anyone who has ever made an intellectual effort. It wallows in not knowing things and celebrates the virtues of believing bullshit for bullshit reasons. The writers are so much steeped in a mindless mix of pomo relativism and diffuse religiosity that they are unable to form a coherent thought. The dialogue is so thinly painted with a veneer of philosophoid rambling that is not really philosophy that it makes Star Trek technobabble seem artfully crafted in comparison.

My disappointment with the Star Trek reboot knows no bounds.
Prometheus could have been so much better too. The original Alien was mined for stuff to exploit for financial gain, it should have INSPIRED this sequel, and it could have for the right production team.
And a little mystery:
everyone (virtually) who has seen Dark City is amazed at what a fantastic sci-fi outing it is, but why is it so hard to get anyone to watch it ?? It's not a bad movie (far from it in fact) and yet many a turd of a movie has had many, many more people pay to see it. Hard to understand . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I did have such high hopes for Gang Bang Sluts VI, especially after Eva St. Vixen's masterful work in GBS I, II, III, IV and V.

Perhaps the role became too mechanical for her?

X-Men Origins: Wolverine was my biggest let down.
I'm glad Hugh Jackman is just about done playing that role. I'd like to see the next guy to play him be a short little angry fuck, and throw the whole thing on Netflix as a series. Wolverine doesn't belong on the big screen with huge explosion and cheesy one-liners. His bar cage-fight introduction scene should serve as a template in mood and pace for the entire treatment.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

If you want non stop action with no story line then you will like it.
Sounds like my kind of movie.

I can't even think about it or I get too angry.

I've even bought the trailer 35mm film reel from a projectionist in my class. A cool movie.

I personally hated Kingsman, particularly since, morally, Kingsman isn't much better than the villain it's fighting. At least one can argue the ethics of Samuel L. Jackson's plan; humanity is a virus that needs to be controlled so we don't fuck up the Earth. Can you imagine any argument for creating an organization whose training regimen involves certain death three times before breakfast?
But Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny is the worst film I have ever seen, bar none.

ok, then Birdemic... or Sharknado, so much badness
The Room is a one of a kind work of art. Bizarre, hilarious, disastrous.
I really dislike Sharknado and all those deliberately retarded movies whose makers only point seems to be " LOL look how bad and retarded the movie we made is!". I like bad movies that are sincere and heartfelt.
