Author Topic: From Justin to Kelly Daryl C. W. O'Shea Film God Posts: 3977 From: Midland Ontario Canada (where Panavision & IMAX lenses come from) Registered: Jun 2002 posted 06-20-2003 04:41 AM                        While screening this film there wasn't a single minute that I didn't want to kill myself. The worst part is at the end... they all start singing "That's the way I like it", so the audience is going to start singing along with it, then they'll be singing it out in the lobby... other people will just think that they liked it, suckering even more people into watching this piece of .  |  IP: Logged Andrew Duggan Expert Film Handler Posts: 127 From: Albany, NY, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 06-20-2003 11:48 AM                        Yeah, it's a pretty bad sign when just seeing the movie poster inspires a very primal fight-or-flight response in me. I watched 6.941 masochistic minutes of this gargantuan mistake, and then decided that my life was to precious to waste on it. So I got drunk on the roof instead. Go me.  |  IP: Logged Jacob Huber Expert Film Handler Posts: 172 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-20-2003 02:39 PM                     Hmmm, watch an apocolyptic nightmare of a movie, or get drunk. Choices, choices, choices. I think you made the right one, Andrew.  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 06-20-2003 03:02 PM                     Thats funny, I just fired an employee last week (fittingly dumb and dumberer) for bringing alcohol to a sneak. I wouldn't tolorate an employee drinking on the roof also.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-20-2003 03:26 PM                        The radio commercial for this claims that it is "the movie you will never forget." Umm...OK. I have no intention of seeing this POS, but hopefully it at least has that certain humor value that one might expect from a train-wreck of a movie. It's interesting to note from the feature info forum that they didn't bother to print this on Kodak or even Fuji stock and instead went with something that's presumably cheaper. That doesn't exactly demonstrate high expectations on the part of the distributor....  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 06-20-2003 04:19 PM                        Haven't seen it, won't be seeing it. Justin Guarini (sp?) was on the Today Show this morning promoting it. He was doing his best, but he did say that 1) He and Kelly were exhausted at the time the film was shot due to all the touring etc. 2) It was very hastily put together, was supposed to be released back in April. 3) "We weren't making Shawshank Redemption". Note that it wasn't screened for critics either.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 06-20-2003 06:15 PM                     This film must be a real piece of I saw the Today show interview. On my friends web site "The Stickers". He has the line "Looks like that pact with the devil is really starting to payoff." http://www.thestinkers.com/  |  IP: Logged Don Anderson Master Film Handler Posts: 312 From: West Bend, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-20-2003 08:20 PM                     You know its gonna be a stinker, when the studio has no trailers for ya to promote it! I was going to screen it last night, but I decided to wander home and watch Elimidate instead! Poked my head inside the auditorium today, and became ill seeing Kelly on the beach.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

This is one of the top five worst movies you will EVER see. There isn't even any sort of humour you would expect from such a piece of crap. You know, you really know a movie is bad when it's seems that (based on the sometimes out of sync dialog or lip syncing) the sound editor wouldn't even go through it more than once.

Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 06-20-2003 11:16 PM                     Hmmm ... this sounds like a great way to pay back Scott for making me watch Lizzy McGuire. I think I'll take him on a photo shoot and then "surprise! I'm driving and paybacks are a bitch!"  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-21-2003 12:05 AM                     You're comparing this to Lizzie Maguire? I think I would rather screen Lizzie non-stop for 24 hours than sit through this once. Paybacks, while commonly more painful than the original act, shouldn't be deadly!  |  IP: Logged John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-21-2003 12:54 AM                     I must be the only one, but the movie passed the so bad its crap category that I had such a great time mocking it. Classic camp here folks of the best kind (UNITENTIONAL). Going to watch it again!  |  IP: Logged Andrew Duggan Expert Film Handler Posts: 127 From: Albany, NY, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 06-21-2003 02:11 AM                        We sold a stunning 5 tickets to it today. Shocking, I'm sure And Michael, the roof in question was my own. If I attempted to get drunk on the roof of the theater, I anticipate that I would either A)Fall off the roof to my premature death, or B)Fall THROUGH the roof to my premature death  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 06-21-2003 02:27 AM                        quote: The radio commercial for this claims that it is "the movie you will never forget." Well... they're probably right! I thought "Million Dollar Mystery" was a piece of , but I remember it, too.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-21-2003 03:00 AM                  Gosh Daryl, how do you REALLY feel about this great film? I think you should take your own suggesting and just off yourself. I know that would make MY life easier! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged
