Leave it to you to get offended by a cliche. <BR/><BR/>There's a couple movies I'm still annoyed I wasted my time watching, even 15 years on, when I remember them. Time I would have rather had spent doing something forgettable like sitting in a mall twiddling my thumbs, or waiting for someone to stand me up at a restaurant, rather than force myself to sit in the theater for the same amount of time. Some things just aren't worth the time you would have otherwise wasted, even in an idiotic fashion, but that's just the way I feel about it. I guess you at least had a reason to see it, you review flicks suspecting they'll be either fantastic or crap ahead of time and write accordingly, so it wasn't really a waste for you even though you went in hoping for something better. I rarely get passes for flicks so I'm super picky about what movies I see, I'll pitch a fit if I go to one and it turns out to be a shit sandwich. Not that any amount of arm twisting and tooth pulling and free snacks would have got me to see that movie though.Chynna Clugston Floreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00569568650202982175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829432.post-73805376131947848272007-10-06T22:41:00.000-07:002007-10-06T22:41:00.000-07:00"That's 131 minutes of your life you'll never get ..."That's 131 minutes of your life you'll never get back, man."<BR/><BR/>It's time this cliche goes away. It's not like our lives are that packed with interesting things that every moment truly is precious. In fact, most of us have time in excess.Jamie S.

I wanted to leave the theater when I only saw it as a preview it offended me so deeply. I can't believe you willingly went to watch it.

Pepper's movie, which I think is a campy hoot of a picture. <BR/><BR/>I remember reviewing Bram Stoker's Dracula when i was still a critic. My girlfriend at the time went with me and left annoyed after I laughed my way through it, notably with the floating eyes following Winona through the countryside.odessastepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797641063451326980noreply@blogger.com
