The Thing definitely does not suck.

I liked National Treasure, dunno why. I kept thinking about that movie when I saw Da Vinci Code.

Isn't that the Forever Knight rip-off show? I haven't caught an episode of that yet. Forever Knight never really grabbed me, but it didn't seem terrible.

How could you not like the thing? That movie ruled. Awesome setting. Awesome creature. Awesome special effects. And it had Kurt motherfucking Russell in it.

Anyway, post topic and following the train of thought:

Soldier with Kurt Russell again. I love this movie, and I know its at least kind of bad.

And of course, OF COURSE...

Hackers. So fucking terrible, but so fun to watch.

Smallville for me also.

I've seen every single one since the day it started and am glad that this is the last year really.

I figured I've stuck with it this long, whats the point of stopping now when it's almost over?

I still like it, but it does suck for the most part.


Also, I have a weakness for horror movies, no matter how cheesy they are, I watch them.

I swear I laugh harder at a lot of the low budget horror movies than I do comedies.

Star Wars Episode 6

Star Wars Episode 4 is close - but it actually is pretty good

note: SWEP5 is among the greatest movies ever


John Carpenter's The Thing is among one of the greatest movies from that era, you are out of your gord to say otherwise.

Gossip Girls. the story lines are boring, but for some reason, i have to watch...

as far as movies.... Bring it On 1, The Core, Armagedeon, Hackers (1 and 2), Sneakers, so many more that i could go on forever. I've began to develop a taste for the worst of the worst. I have my limits though; watched Bring It On 4 the other night, I had a headache afterwards. It was that bad.

CSI Miami - don't really watch it every week but now and then I tune in just to see Caruso's antics...his "style" cracks me up.
Smallville - Lana used to be hot but now she's just annoying with that doe eye look, it's getting so old, but I like Superman. Man he better be donning a cape and fly off on the last episode
Ditto on the horror slasher movies - all I can think about is the technicals on how'd they do that (cgi or props)
Deal or no deals - 26 cases, 26 pair of ....never mind
Dumb and dumber - most people I know hates it, thinks it's dumb. I guess you gotta be dumb like me to appreciate it

After Airplane and the first naked gun, Dumb and Dumber is right up there as the funniest movies i've ever seen.

I still like some of the incredibley hokey movies from when I was a kid: Monster Squad, Red Dawn, Iron Eagle.

I saw someone mentioned National Treasure...there's no way in hell I'd admit that was a sucky movie. I thought it was very enjoyable.

CHiPs

one of the cable channels used to have it on every night late would be flipping and get stuck watching it for a bit.

Shame I can't find A-Team or Dukes of Hazzard re-runs.
