Seriously? Sunshine isn't perfect, but it's far from the worst of all time.
This movie made me wonder if it is actually normal for mothers and daughters to discuss orgasms. Please tell me it's not. I think both my mother and I would rather eat an ostrich than discuss our sex lives.
I will watch this. But only because there is a fair chance that both Cillian Murphy and Trent Reznor will be in attendance, wearing suits. I may have just jizzed in my pants.
Restaurants are also super easy to get into on Christmas Day evening. I'm Australian, but was in New York last Christmas and had dinner by myself that day. It was actually kind of fun sitting there with my one glass of wine and one bowl of soup at my table for one.
'The Beaver: It's Worth Watching When You're Drunk!'
I laughed at the wankiness of having an airline concierge when there are huge computer displays all over the airport telling you what time you need to get your arse to the boarding lounge. Surely he's not so overweight that he can't lift his head to read a screen? Side note: when the fuck are there going to be designated seats for tall people on planes? Ever tried sitting in one of those economy seats when you're six feet tall? Torture. Where is the uprising of tall people at airports?
And when GOB is about to become zombie food, they can play a slow instrumental sad version of 'The Final Countdown'? Pretty please, Mr Darabont?
Yes, my boyfriend and I have that too. It's up there with "don't cheat on me within about five seconds if there's a zombie apocalypse" and "let's not team up with people who think it's not okay to shoot an infected future zombie in the head".
Oh, thank you! I knew the music was from some movie starring Future Husband Cillian Murphy, but couldn't remember which.
There are two topics that my father and I are able to talk about. Footy, and National Lampoon movies.
I liked The Santa Clause as a kid. It wasn't the best thing ever, but it was alright. Then some idiotic family member made the decision to take me to see number 2. And then number 3. And holy shit, these are the worst. Also, it has already been rightfully nominated many times, but Four Holidays (I think it has a different name here in Australia). Seriously, you can't put up with your family members for one day without bitching and moaning and generally making yourselves totally unsympathetic characters? My family are more batshit insane than any of those featured in that movie, and I see them every time one of them has a frigging birthday. Solution: alcohol.
Agreed. It tried to tug at my heartstrings, but missed the mark and ended up just poking them in an irritating fashion.
Yes, I agree on the talking to the horse thing. Because horses can be skittish and freak out if they haven't been ridden for a while, and it's a good idea to calm them down by talking to them (even if they can't understand, the voice soothes them, or something). I was completely convinced that it would turn around and be ZOMBIE HORSE but sadly horses appear to be immune in this zombieverse.
Yes! This movie came out when I was a teenager, I spent the whole thing hoping that when I became an adult, I wouldn't be idiotic enough to forget that being a teenager kind of sucks arse and that I spent the whole time looking forward to not being one.
Oh hell yes, I second this. I am Australian and this movie embarrasses me. Australian movies tend to fall into a couple of categories - genre films like Wolf Creek which are actually fairly decent, and movies which try to capture the 'spirit of Australia' or some such bullshit. They always have sweeping landscapes and magical Aboriginal children and kangaroos and are set in the past and/or the bush. Never mind that something like 97% of us don't live anywhere near the bush, have only seen kangaroos in zoos and our lives are more like those featured in Hollywood movies. It goes on forever and Nicole Kidman has the emotional range of a teaspoon. And I'm not usually strict on immigration, but I do think Baz Luhrmann should be sent out of Australia and not allowed to come back in. If people want to watch an Australian film then please rent Wolf Creek, or The Castle. Not this shit.
Yes! I was shouting 'JUST GET A DIVORCE' at the TV from about the 20 minute mark. I hated both Thora Birch and Mena Suvari's characters. Dear god they were annoying. Also, I nominate Piranha 3D. Is it eligible? If not, it should be.
Yes! Maybe it's just that eye-rolling is my default setting when I see hipsters, but I eye-rolled my way through this entire film, to the point where I got a headache. Only finished it because I was on a 13 hour flight and well, what else is there to do?
Hey, it's the creepy guy from Wedding Crashers who tried to do the gay sex with Vince Vaughn! And a girl that looks like his sister! Why do movie white people always drink so much coffee? Do I fail at being white because I'm not constantly caffeinated? Ugh, Ron Howard, stop being involved with emo movies and make the Arrested Development movie happen already.
Garden State. That movie is worse than cancer. Zach Braff pulling his sad panda face, Natalie Portman who we know is *unique* and *individual* because she doesn't even drive a car (!!), and shouting into infinite abysses. Why? I'm not sure, but you can bet it's a metaphor of some sort. Good Luck Chuck, because Dane Cook. Also Jessica Alba's character is not 'cute' and 'quirky', she's mentally ill. Also the end credits where Dane Cook PERFORMS ORAL SEX ON A STUFFED PENGUIN. And Revolutionary Road, which I hated so much that even after Inception I still harbour feelings of disgust towards Leo DiCaprio for hurting my soul with that movie. Apparently, life wasn't very good for women in suburbia forty years ago. Even if everybody in the world wasn't already aware of this, you could have just gently hinted at it. This movie slaps us over the head with this message. It's like being flogged with a wet fish. It is terrible.
Oh thank god someone nominated this. I was on a 12 hour flight from Australia to LA and this movie was on. I hadn't slept the entire flight, but this movie bored me so much I was able to sleep for a couple hours. So I suppose I should thank everyone responsible for making this shitty shit movie, really. I grew to hate it more after my first day in a film class last semester when a girl said her favourite movie of all time was this movie "because it's like unconventional? Like it doesn't start at the beginning? And I'd just never seen that before?" ARGH
