Hollywood Stinkers

[Abilene Slim SASS 81783]

Spending a bit more time than usual watching TV like Amazon and Netflix. Tried watching 1987's "The Big Easy" with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin. Had never seen it before. Made it thru 15-20 minutes of it before turning it off. Dang that was awful.

[Pat Riot]

I don’t recall watching that one. 
 

My wife and I tried to watch “The Office” series on Netflix. A few minutes into episode 4 season 1 is when I pulled the plug. I know a lot of people like this show. I am definitely not one of them.

I feel like a prospector, trying to find nuggets in the trash.

 

But it passes the time.

[Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062]

from the title I thought you might be referring to Hollywoods' elite and their sprouting/pontificating on how they would correct the worlds ills by advising the Government as to actions it should take.

Nah nothing so complex, we just don't listen to anything those Hollywood liberals say.

There Will Be Blood is the absolute worst movie that I've ever had the displeasure to watch. The POS even won an Academy Award, I guess that should have been a warning. If you run across this rag while digging through the garbage, leave it in the can and take it out before it stinks the house up.

I saw a good movie with James Arness made in 1956 before Gunsmoke, he was a bad guy who was left behind by his gang to die. He tracked them down.

Just as a hint for your next nugget search............neither Dennis Quaid or Ellen Barkin can act. Simple fact.

Not the Big Easy!  We love that movie! We have it on VHS but no longer have a player.  We've been searching for it on DVD.  If for nothing else,  the music.

 

Meanwhile,   Holly bellbottoms, hot pants and big hair!  The Doll Squad!  Made in 73 is a real time machine.  Trivia says it was the prototype for Charlie's Angels. 

 

 

 

This is the PG cut.  There was apparently an R edit with a different title.

 

[Assassin]

Star Wars and Hunger Games. And, any superhero movie.

 

[Tyrel Cody]

Any and all movies starring John Wayne; especially those filmed before The Shootist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lighten up Francis, it's a joke.

[Widder, SASS #59054]

A really good, and gripping TV series:   'Designated Survivor'.    I really enjoyed it.

 

Don't miss the very first few minutes of it.

Most all his early B movies were bad except for some of the supplying cast - Stagecoach is a good example.  All the supporting cast was outstanding - JW was not that good.

 

Best?  Red River

I agree, but did you detect the root of the joke? The Shootist was his last movie.

Mrs. Lose has that show on constantly and I just don’t get it.

[Smoken D]

On Amazon Prime I enjoyed the two series, DCI Banks and City Homicide.

Yes.........however, no one is laughing.  Here, anyway.

Your opinion, I love Ellen Barkin!! Dennis Quaid is as good as anyone else in Hollyweird! He did a great job as Doc Holiday in Wyatt Earp!

That isn't saying much, Rye.  My wife's salvation is Dr. Pol, and mine is Fishing with Bill Dance. I know, but these

are the times that try men's minds. Sorry about that Mr. Paine.

True enough but to make a blanket statement about an actor, singer, musician or artist of any kind is ridiculous! It's all subject to your likes and tastes! That's what I was referring to! That said I still think Dennis Quaid did a great job as Doc Holiday.

I agree entirely. Anyone who thinks otherwise can kiss my rebel......grits.

There were over 100 western shows in 1953 to 1969.  I got on a kick last year to watch episode 1 of as many as I could find.  Paladin was outstanding.

I find Netflix full of stuff I tried and baled on...too much gratuitous scripting of every form of validation for amorality, vile language, homosexual subplots, and multiculturalism. It's satanic. I agree that watching old westerns is kind of a safe harbor. My favorite is Ancient Aliens. I own every season. It can be a little weird, plowing some of the same ground over again, but is free of all that Hollywood propaganda.

We fell in love with Netflix years ago and dumped the Dish.  We streamed and got a lot of DVDs through the mail. We were happy for years. Then they made a turn for a different market and lost us in the curve. 

 

We've evolved into watching movies and such on YouTube.   Still only enjoying their free service but it looks like they are pushing to go to paid services. 

 

We have a library of hundreds of DVDs. Mostly acquired form Wally-World discount bins.  

 

Lately we have filled in some holes in our collection from eBay.

Most movies are stinkers. I intersperse a western or two between streaming TV shows and movies. My pet peeve with even good westerns is when the good guy at the end tosses his gun like he's seen the light and become a modern Lefty. Heck, even if he wanted to hang them up, that's money he's throwing away.

[Dantankerous]

Hollywood stinkers?

 

Movies or most of the people who star in movies these days?

 

To the first question... plenty.

 

To the second... vast majority.

Watched the pilot when it first came on,    made it until the first commercial and change the channel .

[Sedalia Dave]

White Comanche with William Shatner playing twin brothers one good and one bad.

 

Very bad acting. Only lasted 20 minutes before looking for something else.

[Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life]

I am enjoying non stop Westerns!!!!!!

[Warden Callaway]

Anything made in the 70s and after with theme music inspired by the movie Shaft.  I've suffered through a few and wondered how much better they would be if remastered with better musical score.
