how about any of J Lo's output?

or, was Gigli even worse???? 'It's Turkey time!!'

No, I've seen it.  I kind of liked it.  The movie's vibe reminded me a bit of .... maybe a female oriented "Trainspotting"?  No, perhaps not a great flick, but I was amused enough to enjoy the time spent.

Yeah, OK, so I'm sick that way!   <SMILIE>

Any movie with Rachel Weitz in it isn't all bad.

That would have been an intense scene.

 

I read an interview with Peter Jackson where he said that scene is in the can and will DEFINATELY make it into the extended DVD.

Of course, Sharkey's demise at the hands of Wormtongue would have been cool too.

As far as Saruman's escape & later death at Wormtongue's hand is concerned, I have heard yes/no as to whether these will be in the extended releases on DVD (I know they were filmed............) - one can but hope.

If you want to sl*g Lord Of The Rings, feel free to do so on the 1980's animated version; now that was a pile of utter poo with no saving graces whatsoever.

I know that Pippin's finding the Orthanc an Isenguard looked incomplete and felt forced in the theater cut of TROTK.  Hopefully Gandalf's and Saruman's confrontation at least, will get fleshed out in the extended DVD!

I agree they are too short.  As long as the whole extended DVD release thing was going to be done anyway, Jackson and New Line could have and should have included even more of the book to make an even more amazing DVD.

Obviously Bombadil and Goldberry, as well as Old Man Tree and the Barrow Downs got cut from the movies.  A shame IMO as I'd have happily sat through another half an hour or more of movie to see that part of the books visualized.

I've heard both yes and no that Saruman's escape from Isenguard and the Scouring of the Shire were filmed and will make it into the extended DVD release.

Anyone have any definitive information which scenerio is going to come true?

Definitely The Lord of the rings. The book was a revelation to me and a great support in hard circumstances for many years. But even in the nightmare never i could imagine a worst movie based on it. Everything is wrong, but the casting is worst of all. A pity, if it spoiled the vision of people that haven't read the book.

I'm not sure I can afford the upkeep on the emu herd!  Not to even mention the koalas and wombats.

I want a catamaran like that though.   <SMILIE> If I could figure out how to generate enough wattage to run my stereo.

I was glad to read this Ivan.

When everyone around me was hailing the remake of "Cape Fear" as a masterwork, I found it in general to be a festering, fly blown pile of canine feces.

(clever, in-joke segue that no one will get.....)

However I'd rather watch it 25 times in a row than allow a copy of the movie "Pink Flamingos" within a mile of my domicile.

There are lots:

In first place I hate the easy terror movies, thosr that use tons of ketchup, axes in the heads, etc, the real terror is the exploration of the unexpected like Kubricks great movie The Shinning.

But here's my list:

1.- Waterworld: What a piece of crap, a wet copy of Mad Max only that this one sucks.

2.- Friday 13: The whole series

3.- Titanic: Monumental waste of money, a romantic soap with a costume of epic.

4.- Pearl Harbor: Idem

5.- Police Academy II to all the rest: First one was original and imaginative, the rest is crap.

6.- Hannibal: How could they make this thing, I don't know what Anthony Hopkins was thinking when he accepted this aberration.......well he was thinking in $$$$.

7.- Cape Fear: What an overacted performance by the always great Robert de Niro.

8.- Ace Ventura Pet Detective: Most Jim Carrey's movies are crap (except Man on the Moon which is very good), but this one is even worst.

9.- The Nutty Professor: Repulsive.

10.- Grease: What can I say?
