Sorcerer

For me it was the title.
For years I thought it about some fantasy wizard movie.

Naked Lunch.
For obvious reasons.

Arrival (2016) - I thought it was going to be like The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Mission Impossible.

Wasn't really impossible was it?

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 7 years ago

At least it's not Mission Walk in the Park...

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

True but they could have come up with a middle ground.

Mission It's Going to be Kind of Difficult but I'm Tom Cruise so Think About It...I Mean Seriously
You Know I'll Succeed.

Something like that.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78561) 7 years ago

That should have been on the movie poster
I was honestly not worried for Tom one bit

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

That's what I'm saying.

With A title like that they could have least had it star somebody like Eddie Murphy.
Making a Good Movie...Mission Impossibe.

What about the Never Ending Story?
Pretty sure it ended.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78561) 7 years ago

LOL!!
'In a world where Eddie still makes good movies...' Its just too 'impossible' to imagine:)

As a funny comedian (I wish i recalled his name) said...
'How can there be a Neverending Story 2...the first one didnt end yet?
Might have been Jim Gafigan..?

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Of course he did.
No more originality. Now I'm taking somebody else's bit.

Napoleon Dynamite.
I thought it was a war movie where they blew up the little fella.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78561) 7 years ago

That would work.
People would have still watched it.

Unstoppable

We all knew it would stop eventually.

The Neverending Story... ended.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78561) 7 years ago

Sadly it did...i was pumped for that joint to go on forever!

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Exactly.

Cloverfield had no clover or crimson for that matter.
I'm not even sure it had a field.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78561) 7 years ago

There was exactly zero clover and field in that film!!!

I need a lot more work. Assistant Dean is fine.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78561) 7 years ago

Assistant Dean Lord High Executioner has a nice ring to it

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

You're too modest.
You need A LOT more work than that.

You have to have people love and hate you at the same time.
You have to be able to talk shit but still be there to pick up the pieces.
You have to be able to mindlessly rant about things that only
you what you're talking about but still make some sort of sense.
You have to try to reply to everybody even it's a bunch of BS but
not just one word responses.

You're Canadian so you'll have to overcome that but I know you
can do it.

^^This^^ is an example of what you'll need to do.
It's called friendly fire.

You'll also have to watch a lot more movies.
Shutting a Michael Haneke movie off after 20 minutes is not
an option anymore.

There's no way I can be that creative - I just don't have it.
I just finished Knife in the Water which was average.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

You sell yourself short.
You have a great sense of humor.
Just let it out more.

You're a Canadian hockey playing accountant for cryin out loud.
It doesn't get better than that.
Maurice "the rocket" Richard and Gordie Howe would be proud.

At least you watched it.
I thought it was well done.

reply

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

Well I guess this might be somewhat related because I was mistakenly thinking you were talking about The Arrival, with Charlie Sheen.

I was going to ask about that movie when I realized I was confused.

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

The Arrival (1996) might have been better than Arrival (2016)

reply

[–] db20db (17743) 7 years ago

Got to admit I enjoyed The Arrival as well; damned good entertainment ! Have seen it more than once.

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

an underrated sci-fi.

Shaving Ryan's Privates

For some reason, I was sure it was a war movie

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78561) 7 years ago

I skipped it
But i assume there was plenty of fighting

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78561) 7 years ago

On Golden Blondes
There was nary a single crusty grandpa nor a fishing trip to speak of
I was really confused...perhaps i missed volume 1?

reply

[–] db20db (17743) 7 years ago

Prometheus !

I had no idea it was a prequel to Alien and was severely disappointed at the ending.

reply

[–] Padeen (6459) 7 years ago

I loved Prometheus! It was Alien: Covenant that I was let down by.

reply

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

Covenant was so dull. Too bad Ridley ditched the idea of doing an actual Prometheus sequel, I think Fox told him to just make a generic Alien flick or they wouldn't finance it, so he had to.

It's pretty silly, too, because Prometheus made good money and had a strong fan base. Covenant flopped.

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Wait,how come Harry missed this?
I think he's losing it.

reply

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

Perhaps he finally decided to move on... Although it would be very recent, because he was trying to resurrect the Prometheus debate quite a bit about a month ago.

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Nah,he'll never move on,it's been what 5 and a half years? I reckon he just missed it!
He's slipping I tell you.

reply

[–] db20db (17743) 7 years ago

I didn't say I disliked the entire film, just the ending.

reply

[–] Wint3rFir3 (7384) 7 years ago

Maybe Chronicle. I don't even remember what I thought it was supposed to be about, but when I watched I remember thinking 'Okay it's good, but this is not what I was expecting and I don't know why.'

reply

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

"The Way We Were" Thought it was going to be a movie told in flashbacks. It should've been "This is the Way We Are and at the End of the Movie, You'll See How We End UP."

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78561) 7 years ago

Thats a way better title
But you may be too honest for Hollywood

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

The Forgotten (2004) - I thought it was a missing child/mental illness movie - it went way in another direction.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 7 years ago

I think Split was the most confusing movie concept recently.

At first I thought it would be a chick flick + kidnapping thriller hybrid. Wait, it was a psychological thriller. Turns out it was a supernatural horror. But not really, it was actually a superhero movie. What?

reply

[–] RussellNash (2087) 7 years ago

Deliverance (1972).

Someone had told me it was a sequel to "Smokey and the Bandit"... 🤔

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

That's hilarious!
