h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

PS. I seem to have taken against Kevin Bacon too, not sure why though.

On of the most genuinely under-rated actors of his generation.

Maybe because he turns up unexpectedly for 30 seconds, eg Planes Trains and Automobiles.

I have watched Citizen Kane many times and fallen asleep just as many times.

Love Incog.

I've fallen asleep many more times than I've watched Citizen Kane

Incog.

"P.S. I didn't mean that Rambo was a sequel to the Love Bug. Although ..."

Blues Shark:

Ah yes, thanks. I'll add Face/Off and Julia Roberts to my list. John Woo - what went wrong?

All Arnie films is a good one, but surely 'except Terminator', not 'except Predator'. I think I'm on about 87 films now!

Still trying to get over the thought of Herbie II: First Blood myself.

I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle with Face/Off

As for Julia Roberts - Erin Brokovich (or however you spell it) wasn't too shabby.

Some rubbish films:

Congo - bad adaptation of a Michael Chrichton book. Not even a brilliant premise, to be honest.

Independence Day (I refuse to call it ID4 ) - huzzah! Some people agree with me about this overrated blockbuster. I hated Bill Pullman's humourless president and how the film couldn't decide if it was serious or silly. And that ending . Jeff Goldblum was good though.

Highlander 3 - Utter, utter rubbish with an ending partly ripped-off from Terminator 2.

Rambo: First Blood, Part 2 - All those of you who said Black Hawk Down was "flag-waving propaganda" please watch this nonsense and get some perspective. The action isn't as good as anyone remembers and Steven Berkoffs "Russian" accent is appalling. And why do the Russians have a Huey helicopter (or was it North Vietnamese and captured? I don't really care any more)?

The Jackal - rubbish remake of supposedly good 1973 film. Richard Gere manages to offen both Irish (with awful accent) and British (with Hollywood "oi oinly over fought the brutish army" romanticising of IRA terrorists). Boring, boring film with unlikely "action" moments to stop audience falling asleep.

I like Face/Off, in fact i think it's betterthan all his other Hollywood movies, and better than some of his HK stuff.

But it has Nicholas Cage. That guy always plays the same role, wether he is a family father or a mafia boss. It's always the same.

Independence Day - The bit with the dog in the tunnel really, and I mean REALLY, annoys me.

Let me get this straight. If you're in this tunnel, you're not safe. But if you go into a corridor, you're fine.

But that scene where they blow all the UFO-fanatics up is great

Mars Attacks beats ID every time.

"Do not run, we are your friends"

Well, it amused me, anyway.

Mars Attacks is splendid. Burton strikes again.
Cage is wonderful in Face/Off, especially when he starts playing John Travolta.

Yeah, that bit always got me too

and...

"toodle pip old fruit, those jolly Americans have done it again..."

F**k off!

and that speech at the end


And as to musicals, if John Lennon can not like them, so can I

Horror would tend to go into the bad section for me, if only because there are so bloody few decent ones. They are good when done well though.
Exorcist, Alien, Childs Play for three

to Mars Attacks...

For crimes against cool comic-strips: I sentence Judge Dredd to 5 consecutive live sentences in the cubes!

Yeah but Billy Zane as the Phantom kicks arse.
And Dick Tracy is wonderful.


SLAM EVIL!
