Minority Report
 

To stop the derail.

To be perfectly honest, I hated the movie so much that I can't even recall even a fraction of what I hated about it. All I really remember is that about 1/3 of the way in, CP and I both naturally turned to each other and gave the mutual, "Is it just me or is this utter crap?" look.

I'm looking around at reviews, and it's refreshing my memory some. There are, of course, the plot holes, but my disdain for the movie began long before the plot got far enough to have any holes. I abhored the entire style of the movie. Gimmicky technology, cheeseball editing, bizarro establishing shots with idiotic slapstick bits seen through windows.

And then there's the jetpack cooking a burger scene. W....T....F?!?!

I'm well aware I'm in the minority, but I don't really care. It was a painful viewing experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I hated it too. Like with most movies I hate, I don't care to remember enough about it to talk about why I hated it.

Damnit Speilberg! You've made me agree with scaeagles! Oh, the evil you have wrought!!!

I will jump into the fray and be contrary.

I do remember two scenes. One involved an eyeball and one involved a billboard that spoke directly to you and knew your life/purchase history/etc.

But I can't be contrary about the quality. I hated it.

Unfortunately, I see this in the not too distant future. :rolleyes:

It has its own thread now, GD? GD! Well, now I guess I'll have to see it.

I think I'm going to have to watch Minority Report and A.I. as a double feature this week, because I have no memory of either of these movies being bad at all, much less the stinkers that some of my friends seem to think they are.

This won't be an official casa de mousepod© screening, but if anyone wants to join me, lemme know.

I have a short list of films that I wish I had walked out on: Tank Girl, The Addiction, In The Realm of the Senses, Yessongs all spring to mind. But these... I remember really enjoying 'em.

...we are due for a screening though, aren't we?

Gaaah, I'm beginning to wonder how we can possibly get along so well. Tank Girl?! I LOVE tank girl. I mean, it's hardly cinematic genius, but I always have a ton of fun watching that movie.

Why do I have to live where I live?

Grrrrrrr.

A.I. was different and better than I expected it to be. It's been a long time since I watched it though.

My new goal is to agree with you as much as possible.
