Title: I found a person with worse movie tastes than Phoenix Dark - my uncle!
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 23, 2006, 03:06:17 PM: We got into a rather crazy argument because he loathed Casino Royale. He was upset that Bond was blonde and old, he couldn't follow the plot, there was no Q or Moneypenny and that it was nowhere as good as Die Another Day. I told him that critics were scoring it rather high and he was like, "WELL I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT!"

He prefers the Star Wars prequels to the original trilogy, he likes X-Men 3 more than say, The Shawshank Redemption and he professes his undying love for films such as Van Helsing, Mission: Impossible 2 and - again - Die Another Day.

He also paid money to see films like Elektra, Zoom and Battlefield Earth in theatres.

He thinks The Departed looks boring.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on November 23, 2006, 03:10:02 PM: that's because you're a film writer and therefore lacking in taste!

Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 23, 2006, 03:12:54 PM: I think I was probably most offended when he told me that Star Wars: Episode III was probably the most emotional drama he saw that year. And that it was better than The Empire Strikes Back.

Title: Re: I found a person with worse movie tastes than Phoenix Dark - my uncle!
Post by: The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment on November 23, 2006, 03:16:44 PM: Well, it depends... does he own ONLY the third Robocop, or all three?

If its the former, I'm gonna have to beat some ass. :punch

Well, then, I can't honestly disagree with that... I happen to think Robocop II is the least entertaining of the bunch, even if Robocop 3 could be considered a comedy. :)

Post by: Van Cruncheon on November 23, 2006, 03:28:06 PM: it WAS an awesome adaptation -- the book is unimaginably awful as well, and the movie captured that perfectly

But yeah, despite his amazingly horrible taste in EVERYTHING CONSIDERED ENTERTAINMENT, your uncle's a really good guy and has some cool stories. Your aunt's a sweetheart too. What I think you should do is find one of those bootleg Babylon 5/Stargate SG-1 boxes and fill the actual DVD cases with Battlestar Awesomatica, then give it to him for Christmas. Maybe pop out of a closet somewhere when he puts it on and scream "GOTCHA BITCHES".

Also, if anyone's interested in pics of Willco's extremely cute cousin with the slightly shy introverted preppy attitude but means business in this manmade world of stereotypes so she can one day live her dreams and aspirations but she's also pretty down to Earth too possibly a runaway star from NBC's latest TGIF sitcom then PM $1 (U.S.) to Happy Dude, 14 Evergreen Ter., Evilbore.com.

Also, cocks.

My uncle was in the Navy, circling the globe and savin' lives with a failed marriage under his belt. A mutual friend put them together so she could get her citizenship and he could get free food and someone to help around the apartment. It was only supposed to be until she got her citizenship.

But they fell in love and have two kids now.

I mean, that would make me take down the naughty photos of when we got into the spanking competition.

I spit up in my mouth a bit.

To tell the truth he sounds a bit like my mom, who also hates that the new Bond is blonde. That's perfectly understandable to me since she - and your uncle I assume - grew up with Connery. The plot is pretty complicated though.

I think you're lying about the Star Wars part though; or at least that's what I'm going to tell myself so I can sleep tonight.

My mom has good taste generally, but she LOVES just about any movie with monsters/action/etc that's not extremely over the top violence wise. For instance, she gave Van Helsing a 9.5 and X-Men 3 a 9.
