  • Cinematic Thunderdome: Two Films Enter, One Film Leaves

    Listen all! This is the truth of it. Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all. Look at us now! Busted up, and everyone talking about hard rain! But we've learned, by the dust of them all... Braindead Radio learned. Now, when men get to fighting, it happens here! And it finishes here! Two films enter; one film leaves.

        I posit that 'Hope Floats' is much worse than 'Something's Gotta Give'. I'll grant that SGG is a terrible movie, but it's at least competently made and acted. HF is poorly acted, poorly written, and flatly directed...I've been forced to watch Hallmark channel movies that have more life in them than this piece of dreck. There isn't a single believable character or interesting situation presented in the entire film. It's an utter and complete waste of time and energy.

          And immediately, Sandra Bullock kicks Jack Nicholson in the junk! Keanu Reeves tries to lay some Neo-type hurt on Michael Pare! But Keanu ain't Neo... and Michael ain't impressed, as he lays Reeves out with a folding chair!

          And the crowd is going WILD!

          In the corner, Harry Connick, Jr is making an impassioned plea to help Katrina victims... while Diane Keaton fellates him!

            Oh, come on! "Something's Gotta Give" beats all bad movies, hands down. The pungency of it's horribleness is transferred into farts, and it gasses all other bad movies to death.

              It's bad, but the actors are at least trying to act. Indeed, Keanu actually comes off as being (dare I say) GOOD in this film. Diane and Jack kinda phone it in, but even THAT level of apathy is better than the sheer amount of acting ineptitude on display in HF.

              Also, HF has one of the worst child actors EVER. The girl that plays Sandra's daughter is fucking terrible. Distractingly bad.

                This is kind of dumb, but Hope Floats wins.


                Why?


                Directed by Ghost Dog. Doesn't feature Diane Keaton

                    Two Films Enter, One Film Leaves:

                    For this edition of Thunderdome: 'The Godfather' vs 'The Godfather, Part 2'. Which one is better?

                        I personally prefer Part 2. The arc that Michael is forced to follow is much more interesting and leads to a truly dark and thoughtful resolution. I also love how Michael's story is intercut with his father's.

                          To completely finish my derailing: I don't enjoy these movies. It's been along time, but I get bored every time I try to watch them.

                              My brain knows these movies are impeccably made, but I just don't give a shit.
