The Sibling Below Me...

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

After looking it up: Kung Pow - Enter the Fist
Someone's taste in movies is even worse than mine it seems.

I will agree. I love that movie to death and watch it as often as I can.

In order, #10 being the worst.
1. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (another movie I love)
2. V for Vendetta (like the movie, but it can never, ever, ever live up to the comic book)
3. Tropic Thunder (I love it! Can't wait for it to be cheap enough I'll buy it!)
4. Devdas
5. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (need to see)
6. Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay (LOVE that movie)
7. Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness (I need to buy this)
8. Beowulf
9. Bill and Ted's Bogus Adventure (one I need to see)
10. Evil Dead (DON'T like this one, tree rape = bad)

TSBM will tell us why each movie is bad (and "because Scribble likes them!" is NOT an answer!

[Swatopluk]

Not enough steaming hot sex scenes filmed with infrared cameras.
Btw, which Beowulf movie? The recent animated version is quite decent. I hope you mean the older one.
Otherwise I have only seen V for Vendetta from this list (and I have seen more than 10 far worse movies and I guess there are more).

The sibling below me will open a new Bad Movies thread or restart the old one (preferably with a review of all porn ripoffs of Tomb Raider (Womb Raider, Tomb Raper**....)

**look in imdb under Jewel Raider

The recent one. I had just finished reading the original story, so I may be biased (though I really did like Jolie in that flick, along with the way they returned Beowulf to paganism).
Again, if you've read the original (a godly comic book), it's bad. Sorry.


On with the show!

[beagle]

No way are the Bill and Ted movies bad. (And no way is the response to that yes way).
V for Vendetta seemed alright to pretty good, and haven't seen the others.

TSBM thinks that U571 and most Mel Gibson movies are a magnitude worse than anything on the list.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

If you say so.

I'm horribly biased, being a massive Alan Moore fan, and it didn't live up to the comic book, which I measured it against.


TSMB me thinks people who use infrared cameras for porn are really, really weird.

[beagle]

I'm not going to throw the first stone on the weirdness front, but I would have thought turning the light on would be easier.  Perhaps Swato can explain...

TSBM thinks we all feel better in the dark (queue PSB song...)

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Specially if you suffer from photodermatitis.

TSBM thinks that book (and comic) adaptations* are just that and should be measured as such**.
---
* I loved V4V's movie adaptation, and I liked the comic too, but I understand them as two separate entities with a common ground.

** J.J. Annaud's adaptation of Eco's The Name of the Rose works quite well despite the almost despicable Hollywood ending completely unrelated to the book.

[Swatopluk]

 
I wrote a review of the animated Beowulf for the Humbleodeon thread where I specify my opinion as for the relation of the original epic and the adaption.
---
Teh Hilton used night vision equipment for her home porn. IR should be more "revealing" (yeah, it's a hot topic )
Don't you know that sex with the light on is immoral because it means that the participants can see each other private parts?*
Im Dunkeln ist gut munkeln!
end

Nope, books should be adapted to the last letter in real-time. Who are you to impose your 'genre' sense on the original artists visions? Isn't the example of that thieving magpie William Shakespeare with his 'loose'** adaptions of the classics warning enough?

*After the discovery of the X rays there were ads for x ray proof lingerie to protect women from Peeping Toms
**in both content and morals


The sibling below me is persuaded and will convert to Victorianism immediately

[Griffin NoName]

Don't need to. Was initiated as a child. It's why I wear socks with little skirts on them.

TsBM has piano legs but tries to hide them.

* fans self vigorously after recieving a helpful dose of smelling salts *

In my  day, Proper Young Ladies were inculcated with the decorum to refer to ... limbs ... of pi-ah-nos, Sunday dinner chikkins, and such as...



TSBM has stronger stuff than smelling salts...

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Yes, a bottle of whiskey. 


TSBM has Opinions about whiskey.

[Swatopluk]

As strong as the gun powder put into it

The sibling below me is a veetotaller

[Sibling Chatty]

True. I totally refuse to drink vegetable juice. Especially V-8.

The Sibling Below Me has a lovely beverage at hand at all times.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Mmm, yes. But I won't share.


TSBM has a purple dinosaur.

[Swatopluk]

As is mandatory for teh gay agenda conspirationists!

The sibling below me is aware of all gay agenda traditions
