Someone *please* explain this movie to me.

Millie · 08-22-2002, 06:15 PM

I got severely drunk last night with some friends, and we ended up watching (or rather, attempting to watch) Freddy Got Fingered on HBO. Don't ask me why we did; I guess this is what happens when HBO is the only working channel at your friend's apartment.

All I can say is: what the fuck? I've never liked Tom Green, and this movie proved me right yet again. I know the flick is a few years old by now, but the significance of its mediocrity is so powerful as to resonate even today.

Did anyone find anything even remotely entertaining about the movie? If not, I nominate it for a spot on my list of the Top 5 Worst Movies Ever Made.

Sounds like you and me should go out, round up every copy of that and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and have us an old fashioned movie burnin'! *hoots and hollers*

Hippos · 08-22-2002, 07:34 PM

yes, it was a pretty fucked up movie and grossed you out more than made you laugh, which is im sure what tom wanted

Voron · 08-22-2002, 09:31 PM

There isn't much to explain. It's Tom Green. In a movie. I know you couldn't have expected anything other than what you've gotten.

As for the top 5 Worst Movies list, I shall contribute Dungeons & Dragons and Street Fighter (the one with Van Damme). The animated Street Fighter movie was actually cool.

Add Kids to the bonfire. It makes Freddy Got Fingered and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation sound appealing.

Planet of the Apes 2

It cleaned up at the Razzies that year, and apparently Tom Green was the first person to ever accept his awards in person.

LOL, yeah. I remember that. Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actor, etc.

The only redeeming quality about Tom Green is that he honestly didn't give a fuck. He may be a talentless retard with a penchant for going absolutely insane on camera. But at least he's not overly image-conscious, unlike 99% of Hollywood.

Eager Val'Sharess · 08-23-2002, 12:36 AM

Kids was a good movie.

And I don't blame Hollywood folks for being image concious, it's what they do---sell an image.

Tom Green isn't being modest, he's just too retarted to care.

ShamusChad · 08-23-2002, 12:54 AM

Friends don't let friends drink and watch movies :'(

Last time I drank it was 7 shots- 3 rasberry smirnoff and 4 absolut and half a mickey's 40 and the girls I was with almost made me watch "A Walk To Remember" I think the name is...

Searyx · 08-23-2002, 07:30 AM

I agree. Kids was a landmark film.

xjngx · 08-23-2002, 07:51 AM

So why do you like Kids? I thought it borderlined on being a two hour long public service announcement about aids.

Juglar Veign · 08-23-2002, 08:23 AM

Tom Green's done two things I've considered funny...

He married Drew Barrymore and the skit of him in Japan walking around the zoo in a Godzilla costume.... that was actually funny...

Other than that... I'd probably only get a chuckle over him when the newslady eventually tells me about how he was bludgeoned into the ground by pissed off circus midgets...

Tom Green likes attention that brings him money. He doesn't seem to care if it's good or bad attention. I'm sure there's people in this world who like his kinda humor and as long as there are those people out there why should he care about the rest of us?

He was kinda funny is Road Trip.

And why so many people diss D&D? Personally I liked that movie, didn't expect from it to be nothing more than it was. A slightly comedic adventure in a fantasy setting. If they ever make a movie out of EQ I don't expect it to be anything better than D&D was.

Searyx · 08-23-2002, 09:11 AM

Why do people hate the Dungeons & Dragons Movie? These links should answer your question.
