Actors are often very shy in real life... don't make assumptions from interviews.
Some movies are bad/good, some are just bad... if it is boring and bad it is just bad. If it is bad enough it can be great, like Plan 9 and all his other flicks and Waters movies.

Depp always chooses interesting projects to be involved in.

The Prestige was HORRIBLE also - the great secret ending was given away halfway through and it wasn't that big a secret anyway. It took up too much time without enough happening.
I prefer things a little more thought provoking - or nudity/violence. :shrug: Then again if the bad guys shoot & miss like a 1000 times with uzis and the good guy has a derringer and kills dozens of them its pretty lame too.

I never really thought of Depp as no personality. He seems deep and introspective to me. I have seen him interviewed, and he doesn't interview well; I think it makes him uncomfortable. The fact that he is such a great actor is surprising because he seems so "within himself."

Anyway, back on the thread--worst movies:

I hated Ghost. I couldn't understand all the weepy people in the theatre. My ex and I busted out laughing when everyone else was bawling. It was so trite.

I have no particular interest in seeing people's heads explode,

Oh come on....some of the best movies ever made have exploding heads in them....surely? I used to frequent a Horror movie review site, which specifically rated its films with a....yes you got, a 'headcount'.

Best decapitation in movies? Guy getting decapitated by a lift in 'Trauma'. :P

Shawnee123 · 11-09-2006, 11:51 AM

First head I saw explode? Dude in Scanners circa 1981

Edited to add: Just realized this was directed by the aforementioned Cronenburg

Independance Day. That film was awful. Not so awful it's funny; just so awful it made me want to tear out my eyes.

That was rather a cool movie.

BigV · 11-09-2006, 12:28 PM

best decapitation was in The Omen

Sleepaway Camp... now that movie was bad. But sooo bad that I make everyone I know watch it!

Shawnee123 · 11-11-2006, 02:16 PM

The original version of The Fog.
My boyfriend and I were watching it. The part where the sailors are in the boat all drunk. Miss McBreathy (Adrienne Barbeau) is announcing on the radio for all boats to watch for an incoming fog bank.

Drunken sailor: Fog bank. There ain't no fog bank out there.
Drunken sailer: she's crazy, there AIN'T no fog bank out there.
Me, mumbling: hey, there's a fog bank out there
Drunken sailor: hey, there's a fog bank out there.

We still say that!

Flint: worst movie I've ever seen.

Damn, Flint, you must be my long-lost brother. My older sister took me to see Sun Ra and the feature song was "Space is The Place." I was kinda young, and couldn't really distinguish between "good" and "crappy," but I do remember the show.

Never saw the movie.

I love Zappa, but 200 Motels wasn't my favorite either.

Maybe there is a lesson here.

Watermelon Man. Some guy getting whacked by the blades of a airplane. It was the sound that freaked me out: kerthunkfloff!

JayMcGee · 11-12-2006, 07:33 PM

for guys getting whacked by props, you can't beat Catch22. Head & torso get mushed, hips and legs slowley, majestically even, topple into the sea.
