the film that wasted two hours of my life is...............

[maurice_supple]

Im just interested to know what films really wasted peoples time, My list is endless, basically cos im a sad git that wastes away as many free hours as possible watching films and wishing my pre 70s TV was a 36in flatscreen and my vcr was a top of the range DVD.

#1 thelma and louise,
#2 any film with Rick moranis altering his siblings
#3 howard the arrdvark, sorry duck
#4 mannequin 1/2 (optional)
#5 the 6th sinus (i saw this straight after fight club and it just bored me, maybe itll be better if i see it in a less twisted frame of mind, ermmm but i could be wrong)

[maurice_supple]

#6 the parent trap
#7 my girl
#8 my girl 2
#9 the avengers
#10 the postman
#11 the horse whisperer
#12 michael
#13 the bachelor
#14 much ado about zero

[Mr. Meat]

I agree with most of your list except for The Sixth Sense, My Girl, Michael and maybe The Horse Whisper (haven't seen it yet).
Some of my films that I wish I could get my time back are:

Vampire in Brooklyn
Alien Ressurection
Howard the Duck
Porkies: The Next Day
Urban Legend
All of The Mighty Ducks movies
The Wizard
Jingle All the Way
Texas Chainsaw Massacare 2 and 3

Again, those are some...I wish I had a time machine and warn my past self about all the films that sucked. (This looks like a job for The Doc!)

[HomerSimpson]

The Doc: Great Scott! Marty we've got to send you back right now! I also have to go back and stop myself from watching The Pest, Home Alone 3, Look Who's Talking Too and Kazaam!

Marty: Is that the one where Shaq plays a rapping genie?

The Doc: Precisely

Marty: Whoa Doc, this is heavy!

Thelma and Louise was excellent and The Sixth SENSE was a total breakthrough in the thriller genre...you have to see it again Supple...I think you'll apprecitate it more... /ubb/smile.gif

[tonic#1]

Did anyone else think Random Hearts was a waste of time? The story was over in the first half an hour. I thought it was meant to be a thriller, but it simply bored me.

[Scarface]

You thought Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and 3 were bad you should see Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation...what a waste of time, cameras, and Renee Zellweger! And my time as well.

[Spoiledrichkid]

l not only want my time back l want my money from:
lake placid
any given sunday
anything starring chevy chase
anything starring master p
black and white

[Spoiledrichkid]

Does this work for tv shows too?Cus Magic J. stole quite a few hours from my life with that sorry excuse of a talk show.I mean,not even seasoned comic co-host Tommy davidson could save it.

What about made for tv movies? You know l love tyra but Life Size was inexcuseable.
And Model behaviour.(note:I only watched this movie to make sure that 'N Syncer Justin Timberlake is in fact talent-free)

[ToasT]

The movies that wasted my time were:

1) Stir of Echoes
2) Out of Sight
3) Jacob's Ladder(WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?)
4) The Patriot
5) This boxing movie where an hispanics family is just boxing.

[Silent Bob]

Bicentenial Man

[cow]

i liked the patriot but the movies that stole my precious time where:
1. rock and bullwinkle
2. Battlefield Earth
3. Pokemon: the First Movie
4. Fatso

[Spoiledrichkid]

What is Fatso?

[ColonelColinCaine]

Well, Spoiled, I've never seen Fatso, but I've heard it stars Dom DeLuise as a fat guy who goes on a bunch of diets. I heard it really sucked.

[cow]

Ok Folks this is a WARNING!! DO NOT SEE FATSO!!

its a movie directed by Anne Brancoft and starres DOm Deluise. it beggins with Doms cousin dies from over weight, then he, relising he is going to go over the top pretty soon, tries to loose weight. He tries several Diets, but he cant resist his love for food.

When he finally looses 10 pounds his family selebrates and orders Chinese food, $40 of it that is. they trust Dom to pick it up, but hey, Fat man in a car with $40 of chinese food, what can you do? so he eats it all and his sister is cheesed off and smacks him with a stick a couple of times.

while he is dieting he meets a girl fall in love and get married, he reliezes he can never loose weight, and live happily ever after!!

The only reason i rented it was because Anne Brancoft is Mel Brooks wife, so i thought it would be like his movies, but it wasnt!! dont see it!!!!

[Spoiledrichkid]

The preceding has been a public service announcement from Cow.
Please take heed.Do Not see Fatso.

[Mr. Meat]

I saw a special on Sally Jessy on people who were tramatized by Fatso. It was really sad. /ubb/frown.gif

[Raw Chili]

Any of you ever heard of a movie called Wrestling Earnest Hemingway, that movie was the biggest waste of time along with Death Becomes Her, Man of the House, Jury Duty, Encino Man, Bio Dome, Super Mario Brothers, In the Army Now, Tank Girl, Stop or my Mom Will Shoot,I have a lot more I just can't think of any more right now.

[screamer581]

Do not see a movie called The Breaks!!!!! I repeat do not see a movie called The Breaks. Thank you for your time.

[maurice_supple]

i really hate any films that are baSED ON TRUE STORIES AND ARE DONE IN A REALLY CHEESEY WAY, so the award for waste of time categorey goes to..............ODYSEY FILMS, COME ON DOWN YOUR TIME IS UP. dreadful crap.

[yvonne]

seems to me SRC you are a closet nsync fan. i love the band and i didnt even catch model behavior....u keep bringing nsync up...something doesnt add up...

admit it, u love them /ubb/smile.gif /ubb/wink.gif

[cow]

hey yvonne do you watch the 11 o'clock news on KICU 36???

[Spoiledrichkid]

Well, first off Yvonne its SRK.And l really didnt notice l was mentioned n sync so frequently.Thank you for your watchful eye.I'll stop IMMEADIATELY. As for that admission...you'll never get me to admit i like them ...never i say,NEVER! /ubb/mad.gif

[Spoiledrichkid]

ALRIGHT! I ADMIT :I THE SPOILEDRICHKID AM A FAN OF N SYNC! YVONNE,DAMN YOU,YOU SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME,GET OUT OF MY HEAD! PLEASE GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! AAAAAAAGGGHHH! /ubb/eek.gif

well that was a load off....
Yvonne l'm electing you as my shrink.(l may need you from time to time)

[Scarface]

SRK, u have just deemed yourself one of the lowest forms of life on the face of this earth.....at least in my opinion /ubb/biggrin.gif

[Spoiledrichkid]

Ouch. that hurt...Yvonne ..help! /ubb/frown.gif

[Scarface]

mwahahaha! just when u thought u fit into a group they left u out in the cold. thats life baby.

no but seriously i don't care what kinda music u listen to. i'm in a punk band and we write all our own music. i personally cannot see how u can like music that is sung by PERFORMERS. they aren't musicians. a musician is one who writes their own songs.

too me, a song that is from the heart is a good song. it can't be from the heart if it was written from the heart of some other guy named Max Martin! thats not music man. thats garbage. no matter what N*SYNC claims, No Strings Attached my ass! There will always be strings in the pop music industry. They will always be puppets of their managers and the studios. They are creations (look at the show making a band). u can't take 5 guys who don't know each other and make a band. thats not a band. thats a group of guys who were forced to sing.

i dunno if any of that made sense but all this pop shit is just garbage to me. and no matter what anyone tells ya always remember - Punk's Not Dead!

[Spoiledrichkid]

l think that it good when someone can write all of their own music. But if someone has a gift of singing but not of songwriting does that mean they shouldnt sing?

[Spoiledrichkid]

Oh and Scarface...I know you are, but what am I! /ubb/tongue.gif

[cow]

as anyone heard of Six-String Samurai? i got it on DVD and watched 30 minutes of it and couldnt bring myself to finish it

[Celestial-being]

Any Robin Tunney films (Encino Man, The Craft, End Of Days, Supernova etc) waste my time...should I sue?

[Da ShadiestBro]

Probaly one of the worst ever is the Leslie Neilsen flick where he's a vampire. What was it called again?

[HomerSimpson]

"Dracula Dead and Loving it"

I hated it too although I'm both a spoof movies fan and a Leslie Nielsen fan, and a Mel Brooks (the director) fan - how could you Mel?

[Brock Landers]

definitely "Teaching Mrs. Tingle"...yeah these are definitely not my underwear, KMart sucks...hit me, hit me...blackjack...

[Spoiledrichkid]

2 words...THE FUCKLTY!oops..um..l mean THE FACULTY!

[HarryLloyd96]

there is a big list for this one.

1. LA Confidential
2. A Bronx Tail
3. Last Action Hero
4. Othre People's Money
5. Sabrina
6. Malice
7. Bridges of Madison County
8. Like Father Like Son


and sooooo many more.

[HomerSimpson]

number 3 - check, number 2 - check, number 1 - WHAT???

[Da ShadiestBro]

A Bronx Tale is one of the top 25 movies of all time!!! You're an idiot!

[QUENTIN]

Ya, dude. A Bronx Tale is in my top 150, and L.A. Confidential is on my top 25. Explain your problems with those two films.

[Scarface]

A Bronx Tale was great, its in my top 100.

One movie i gotta add is Idle Hands. I was watching it with my friend and then another friend came over and i was forced to sit through it again!

[DaMovieMan]

Bronx Tale rules!!!!
I think Scream 3 would top the list. What a pathetic movie!!

[Emilie the frenchie]

I don't understand at all why Thelma and Louise is in that list: it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.
The movie which wasted two hours of my life and also 45 F (around 6.5$)is undoubtedly MI:2.

[DaN]

I know that nobody's ever heard of this movie but it is my second worst movie of all time. THE WINSLOW BOY. Sweet mother of GOD!!!!!!! Could that movie have been any more boring. I mean i thought i was going to kill my self by watching that damn screen. Just from seeing that movie, my TV has been my enemy for the past couple of weeks. I mean, we still argue but it's starting to die down. THe worst movie ever that wasted my life and brain cells is EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. There is only one word that comes to mind when i think of that movie: no. no. no.

Anywhoo, heres a list of somekind about time wasted:

1. Eye of the Beholder
2. The Winslow Boy
3. On Our Own
4. Simon Birch
5. The Big Green
6. Drowning Mona
7. Nutty Professor 2: THe Klumps
8. Waynes World 1 and 2 (I don't find em even remotely funny)
9. any Disney Live action movie from 1990 to today

[VIRGIL]

Whoa... bronx tale AND Jacobs Ladder?

Maybe you just dinnae understand it.
Or maybe you forgot to watch sober.

Anyways... about that machine:
This island Earth
The Langoliers
Spider!
The Chinese Connection
Mr.Niceguy
Pauly Shore-everything
the thirtieth time I watched Neverending Story in a row...
Batman 3&4
A Murder of Crows
The Pelican Brief
The Firm
Hugh Grant... everything but Notting Hill and Liar of the White Worm...
Leprechaun&2&3&4
Mel Brooks' Life Stinks
Maximum Overdrive (the time I watched it to reminisce on childhood)
The Story of US
The Postman
Dances with Kevin Costner
Anything with Kevin Costner... almost
Most Nick Nolte movies (exclude MotherNight)
City of Joy (Patrick Swayze)

But i Don't regret watching ANY EdWood film.
They make me appreciate what i've got.

I had more for the list, but i could go on for days.

[sid33]

Here's a few more
The Perfect Storm
Hero
Cape Fear(remake)
Far and Away
Roadhouse
BaseKetball
Last Man Standing
and a few other people liked but I thought were a waste of time Magnolia, Out Of Sight and L.A Confidential
...let's hear it

[ToasT]

Out of Sight and The Patriot

[QUENTIN]

What on earth was wrong with Magnolia, Out of Sight, and L.A. Confidential?

[sid33]

Quentin..must defend myself ...it's only my opinion but I think I went to the theatre expecting more of these movies..I know some people loved these movies but I was not one...I know there is a huge debate about Magnolia..maybe it's best I give it another chance...I enjoyed L.A Confidential more the second viewing but still consider it far from the masterpiece some people claim it is and Í'm not alone on that one...the premise of Out of Sight is not believable for me...loved the stars ...expected more

[Phydeault]

Siege, The (1998)
Stop! Or My Mom Will
Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999) The 1st was good though
Beach, The (2000)
Blink (1994)
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
Scream 2 (1997)
Sixth Sense, The (1999)
Heat (1997)
Starship Troopers (1997)
Boys Don't Cry (1999)
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)
Time to Kill, A (1996)

Phydeault

[QUENTIN]

Boys Don't Cry is a great film...

Heat from 1997, what is that about? Who does it star? And you don't mean the DeNiro/Pacino one from 1995 do you?

[Phydeault]

Perhaps it's me, but I didn't get "Boys Don't cry". Why is it a such great film ?

Yes, I meant Heat with Pacino/De niro. I made an error in the year.

It's not that it's such a bad movie, but I think it could have been shorter ... (almost 3 hrs ... geez)

Seven is a great movie, but it's short. If it would have been 3 hrs long, perhaps it could have been in this list.

Don't you think so ?

Phydeault

[kerryanne]

I must have missed it, did anybody put up the waste of space time and money movie Mission to Mars?-- That movie sucked big time... As a matter of fact, I am making this my crusade... If I can save one person from watching this movie and destroying brain cells, I will.

[Spoiledrichkid]

THE ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY!

G /ubb/mad.gif AWAY!

[brandysnappz2]

The films that wasted my time and money are:
OUT OF SIGHT, I only watched it because it starred the lovely George Clooney, and was very disapointed, infact I turned it off halfway through.
HUMAN TRAFFIC, great soundtrack, bad storyline, all the way through it I was waiting for something to happen, it didn't.

[idealdiscountdude]

Eye Of The Beholder was a complete waste of time for me because I had no clue what was going on. I did'nt understand the movie and never will. It still baffles my mind to this very day.

Urban Legend- Pure Full Of Crap Garbage
The Beach- It's Obvious
Gone With The Wind- What a Long and very boring flick!!!

[sammonster689]

almost anything that comedy central will put on over and over and over. most of these films were quite entertaining the first time or two, but when cc puts them on 20 times a month they get very bad, very fast.

for example
B.A.P.S-a shitty movie anyhow
PCU
canadian bacon
eight heads in a dufflebag
etc. etc.

[Hannibal21]

Battlefield Earth
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Lake Placid
The Mexican (this one, in particular, angers me the most)
Bounce
Runaway Bride (can't believe I sat through this crap!)

[mrdeeds]

Not even my 5 year old son could sit through this baaaad movie.

Planet of the Apes was a waste of time for all the hype. Had potential though.

[Danny L]

In '99 I flex from Paris to Vegas and the only film that wasn't a French drama was INSPECTOR GADGET with Matthew Broderick and Rupert Everett and I can say that it was two (at least 80 minites) of pure trash. If I hadn't been in an airplane I would have thrown the telly thru a window.
