I've just come back from seeing Rambo. It's quite possibly the worst film I've ever seen. You've got to be joking. Q: Who has two thumbs and loves getting blowjobs? A: *Raise Thumbs* This guy!

It's not even watchable in a silly, grand allegorical way, like the second and third movies. It's completely flat, with little premise, no narrative or character arc, no justification for its complete brutality, and a steroid-pumped mute who sounds and looks like he's suffered a massive stroke in the main role - and even then he's part of a collective of mercenaries.
I gave it the benefit of the doubt early on, but that cockney ex-SAS guy insults just about everyone's intelligence.

But dude, worse than RAMBO 3? That movie where Rambo helped the Taliban? Where he defeats the whole Soviet ARMY on his own?

ANY GIVEN SUNDAY  1/2 (Third Viewing) And so began the downfall of Oliver Stone and the rise of Jamie Foxx all at the same time. Since 1994's NATURAL BORN KILLERS, Stone went on to make NIXON, ANY GIVEN SUNDAY and ALEXANDER before at least "somewhat" rebounding with WORLD TRADE CENTER. Foxx meanwhile was able to shake off such horrendous films like BOOTY CALL, THE PLAYERS CLUB AND HELD UP to star in ALI, COLLATERAL, RAY, DREAMGIRLS, THE KINGDOM, etc.

Have you seen 30 Days of Night? I was forced into seeing it and it ending up being a pretty decent horror flick.

I saw Chinatown (1974 / Polanski) on the big screen today. Definitely one of my favourites. I love its convincing philosophical exploration of time, memory, fatalism, morality, corruption, etc. One of those brilliantly balanced films of wide, big corporate corruption told through the devastating relationships between individual personalities. Any film that paints a portrait of urban life as one of heated oppression and faceless mistrust gets a thumbs up in my book, too.

Have you seen Ducktales capo?
That was a film and a half I've not. I'm the sort of kid who saw cartoons as a kid nobody else did, but missed out on all the popular classics. I'm a bit of a douchebag, actually.

I wouldn't call it sh*t but it's not on the same scale for Stone as JFK, PLATOON or NATURAL BORN KILLERS.

Have you seen 30 Days of Night? I was forced into seeing it and it ending up being a pretty decent horror flick. I saw it and thought it was garbage. Agree...utterly mediocre.

Since 1994's NATURAL BORN KILLERS, Stone went on to make NIXON, ANY GIVEN SUNDAY and ALEXANDER before at least "somewhat" rebounding with WORLD TRADE CENTER.

I wouldn't call it sh*t but it's not on the same scale for Stone as JFK, PLATOON or NATURAL BORN KILLERS. Yes, just because its not a masterpiece like JFK, its a fucking piece of shit... Can't a movie just be good on its own terms, or visa versa Awful?
