I've probably spelt it wrong but.....

We go to blockbuster to get Oceans Eleven, as you do, and it's not anywhere, no posters, no spaces on the selves where it should be, nothing. They said 'this store is not renting it' but I think it's that 'Blockbuster's promise' where if they don't have it, you get it free next time. Loads of people must have wanted it so they took it off the shelves so they didn't have to give free rentals away.
T@ats.

So we decided to get K-PAX. Good film, I though. But 1 problem - every 10 seconds the sound went pzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz over the audio, really loud.
We take out the DVD disc - and it's covered in blummin scratches.

Take it back - get a free rental and get The Royal Tenenbaums.
Oh.
My.
God.
Has anyone seen this?
It was the worst film I'e ever watched. Didn't laugh once. I felt sorry for it. And it had soooo much potential to be funny. but just wasn't

Is this just me? Am I crazzzeeee? Anyone think it was good? Anyone actually heard of it?
Switched it off.

Grrrrrr.

Ulysses?
That is rather femmy.
I like Waterworld because it's on the sea and I like the sea.
And Costner throws a little kid overboard and doesnt jump in to save her.
And Deacon has one eye.

It's exactly the same as Mad Max 2 though, right down to the Gyro-Captain, only he flies a balloon in that one.
Even The Postman is good fun.

*shrugs*
I like Costner movies. But I will not kiss him.

I'll have to conceed that Waterworld is pretty good, actually. And Dennis Hopper is called Deacon. There's an uncut version going around somewhere, where they show the island at the end to be Everest, and the woman gives Costner the name of Ulysses, which is gay.

I have. It's good fun. Stuff happens in it, unlike The Royal Teddybears.

I bet you're bitter cos you told everyone it was cool before you saw it, talked it up and then realised it does, in fact, lick balls.

What bits made you laugh then? In Waterworld, Dennis Hopper calls Costner "Guppy-Man".

It is supposed to be a comedy when the reviews, quotes and cast say it is though.
It just wasnt funny, not even in an ironic way.
And Ben Stiller in a tracksuit and kids with identical hair? Not a comedy?

Please.

It ain't a comedy. Just because Ben Stiller's in it, doesn't mean it's supposed to be a laugh riot.

I watched it.
Scratched my head, looked at the box. "Riotous comedy" "Hilarious" "Witty"
Shrugged and watched Mallrats again.

I didnt enjoy it either

Me and my m8's walked out of the cinema half way through cos it was so crap..... and it wasn't supposed to be a comedy was it? The only bit we all laughed at was when the reporter guy fell down the pit when running along.

My girlfriend and I rented it last week because we wanted something a bit light hearted cos we were in need of a laugh. After one hour, the only laugh produced was when I realised I'd been charged £3.75 for a load of tosh. Extremely poor film. Wait for Ocean's 11. I watched it on the way back from holiday in March and it is good.
