Slashdot Mirror
The Best and Worst Movies of 2003?
rufey asks: "As 2003 comes to a close, I thought it would be interesting to ask Slashdot what they thought the best and worst movie of 2003 was, and why. At the beginning of the year there was excitement about parts 2 and 3 of The Matrix triology, X-Men 2, and of course, LOTR: Return of the King. In Slashdot's opinion, what did and didn't live up to the hype and expectations, and were there any surprises?"
Here comes all the votes for ROTK as worst picture and GiGli as best... or seomthing like that.

The Hulk. Need I say more? I wanted to throw something heavy at the screen during most of the showing.

(O.o) This is Bunny. (> <)

:-)
I just know

I am the Alpha and the Omega-3

Put that in the bad list please.
Thanks.

"What about all of us who don't go to the movies or buy dvds, etc. and practice what we preach you insensitive clod!"
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos
Britney Spears in Crossroads.
Very touchy and intellectual.
I cried all night.
With regard to these movies, Slashdot doesn't have opinions. It has geekloads of rock-solid, indisputable facts. Though these facts might vary and occasionally even conflict, they are all absolutely true, from a certain point of view.
I've got this Paris Hilton mpeg, see, and...
wow. a thread designed just for trolling. interesting concept.
Wow, I suck as a person. Replace "was plenty.." with "were plenty.."
My sig can beat up your sig.
Kludge of a story that was hacked together to sell tickets. Inclusion of a new stronger, faster, & harder to kill Terminator that also oozes with sexual energy & is not scary or intimidating. Film score that didn't use the Terminator2 theme to inspire awe & fear.
T2: "Hasta la vista, baby!"
T3: "Talk to the hand."
eww. I feel dirty just thinking about that film.
I mean the already published the book for the 3rd movie! How much does that suck? And don't get me started on how much it stole from that satanic game D&D! I mean anyone who has anything to do with D&D is evil and should be shot!
it also won the privilige of being on a recent list of "movies which menstruate" that included, among others... ; "28 days", "28 days later", "red dawn", ""blood on the moon", "sunday bloody sunday", and "my bloody valentine"
And what's wrong with that?
It's hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning.
There was a sign outside our local theater playing this movie: "No Refunds Given For the Content of 'In the Cut'" Who knew Meg Ryan going topless drove that many people to demand a refund?
What do you mean his acting "started to get cheesy?" Have you SEEN the Bill and Ted movies?
Good Lord man, the reason they got away with Keanu Reeves in the first movie is because all he really had to do in that one was act confused the whole time. They ran into trouble when they actually tried to get him to act in the second and third films.
You can't forget "Crimson Tide"
Xenon, where's my money? -Borno
This is probably the scariest movie I've ever seen
Absolutely agree with you there. I came home and *unplugged* my TV. To prevent me from dying of fright if one of the cats decided to sleep on the remote control and powered it up (this has happened before).
If you've not seen it (or even if you have), The Best Trailer is still a treat (there were some crappy trailers for this movie out there as well).
(I can't figure out a direct link - bastard stupid retards refuse to let people copy their god-damn *ADVERTISING*).
Dude, you know waaay more about some website than you need to. Step away from the keyboard, and power down the computer
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
> Rushmore is the best movie made in recent times.
:/
> First time I saw it, I had never laughed so hard.
> Now, when I watch it, it brings a tear to my eye.
Groundhog Day did this for me. "Don't drive angry!" heh Though, it's not so recent.
Codifex Maximus ~ In search of... a shorter sig.
I'm absolutely shocked that nobody mentioned this movie. This film is destined for the AFI's Top 250 Movies of All Time. Just you want and see!.
What film am I talking about? You'll just have to see for yourself!.
Several of them went to it, thinking that it was a movie about an assasination attempt on a certain CEO from Redmond, Washington. They went to it only to find out that they have to settle for watching the South Park movie to see a dramatization of their dreams coming true.
Doubtless many of you are wondering right now, Should I click on the parent's link or not? Is it worth my while using up my precious computing resources to spawn a browser window? He says it's a "gem". But maybe it's just Gigli again. Why couldn't he have just said the name of the flick, dammit!? Click or don't click? What a dilemma!!
That's it, I'm fed up with this air-of-mystery shit! What say you we all band together and boycott clicking on needlessly obscure url descriptors like "this gem"? We few, we proud, we slashdotters, we can resist the lure of enigmatic links!
Okay, I couldn't resist...it was "Air Bud Spikes Back."
Sigh, what a downer. Damn you cjsnell. Damn you and your low slashdot number to hell! I'm so depressed, I'll think I'll go watch Chasing Papi (See? How hard was that?) . I like my bad movies with a little eye candy.
There are two kinds of people: 1) those who start arrays with one and 1) those who start them with zero.
What does he tell her at the end?
Gee, obviously you haven't seen Dance, Monkeyboy which stars some guy named Balmer.
They shoved a WiFi card up his ass before flushing him in the first movie. It was a deleted scene, but you can see it on the upcoming Matrix Trilogy DVD.
'Standards' in computing only impress those who are impressed by things like 'standards'.
Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

> My guilty pleasure this year was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It was much better than all the reviews led me to believe. I actually enjoyed it more than X2 by a large margin. It was a fun action movie with really cool steam-punk technology and "magical" mythical heroes. What's not to like?
A more formulaic movie was never made.
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
> I *STILL* think they could reopen the storyline using this premise.
Yeah, adding another sequel always fixes things...
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
> one person clapped and he was stoned.
--Waitaminute... They STONED him just for clapping??? Now that's some harsh critics...
Oh. You meant something else, I guess.

== WolfriderV6 == I'm willing to admit that *I just might* be wrong... Are you??
Um, because it's French. You know, like, from France. French. Get it?
I can see why you'd pick those two movies... they're so similar. I love the scene in Finding Nemo where Nemo severs the heads of an entire school of fish.
If you did watch The Ring on DVD, how would you copy it to escape with your life?
If you don't copy it, you get killed by a scary psycho-child-demon.
If you do copy it, you get fucked over by the MPAA.
I don't know which one is worse.

This one kid next to me was like, "What if he wakes up in front of his monitor." I felt the urge to show how violent video games have made me. ;)
Most people aren't thought about after they're gone. "I wonder where Rob got the plutonium" is better than most get.
