Everyone's always praising The Departed, but I thought it was terrible.

Just saw Talladega Nights, and it was [b]abysmal[/b]. I asked dad to rent Little Miss Sunshine, and specifically told him, "Please, do not rent Talladega Nights." I got grilled with questions:

What's Little Miss Sunshine?
Why do you want to see that?
Sounds like a chick flick.
Why don't you wanna see Talladega Nights?
*angrily* You don't like it when I rent a good movie, and you always want to see movies I've never even heard of. You'll like it.

Halfway through that shitstorm, I said, "Now do you see why I didn't want you to rent this movie?" No response, of course. He didn't laugh much, himself, so I figure he got the point.

It was ridiculous. The [i]bad kind[/i] of ridiculous. The whole movie was a series of severely unfunny "conversations" that drag on and on, like they expect the audience to be hanging on to every word, laughing their asses off; Like it would be a [i]service[/i] to us that they keep the joke going. Also, the gay french driver was unbelievably lame, with a sad, brief cameo appearance by Andy Richter as his husband. I only laughed about four times total, once when the redheaded kid said "sittin' in my pee pants all day long", the big red advertisement, the "I won't call you my daddy" "what will you call me then?" "professor something" (can't remember what he said, but it was well timed) and I think one other time, but I can't remember when.

It was a barrage of awkward routines that don't go ANYWHERE, and it keeps drawing from the same well, over and over again. The only way you could love this movie is if you were swept up in the hype of, "OMG, ANCHORMAN WAS FUNNY, THIS WILL BE AWESOME TOO." I have yet to see Anchorman, but now I can look at it in a much more positive light towards wanting to rent it; It can't possibly fail as monumentally hard as Talladega Nights.

Little Miss Sunshine. I haven't seen Thank You For Smoking so I can't vouch a true opinion on it either.

To give your dad at least [i]some[/i] credit, if you were only given the name of the movie, and that name was "Little Miss Sunshine," you wouldn't get it either.

Ehh... I don't really think much into movie titles, but I guess I can understand.

In my eyes, my dad's shining achievement is when he drop-kicked our old dodgy toaster 3/4 of the way into the backyard [i]barefooted.[/i] He's not exactly a "winner." :roll:

Every time he tests a new component to his sound system he plays Wicky-Wicky WILE WILE
Wicky-Wicky WILE WILE
Wicky-Wicky-Wicky WILE
Wicky-WILE Wicky-Wicky
Wild Wild West, Jim West, desperado, rough rider
No you don't want nada
None of this, six gun in this, brotha runnin this,
Buffalo soldier, look it's like I told ya
Any damsel that's in distress
Be out of that dress when she meet Jim West
Rough neck so go check the law and abide
Watch your step with flex and get a hold in your side
Swallow your pride, don't let your lip react,
You don't wanna see my hand where my hip be at,
With all of this, from the start of this,
Runnin the game, James West tamin the west so remember the name
Now who ya gonna call?

Not the G.B.'s

Now who you gonna call?

*G double E G*

If you have a riff with people wanna bust,
Break out before you get bumrushed at the (Wild Wild West)
When I roll into the (Wild Wild West)
When I stroll into the (Wild Wild West)
When I bounce into the (Wild Wild West) Sisqo, Sisqo

We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West

Now, now, now, now once upon a time in the west
Mad man lost his damn mind in the west
Loveless, givin up a dime, nothin' less
Now I must put his behind to the test (can you feel me)
Then through the shadows, in the saddle, ready for battle
Bring all your boys in, here come the poison
Behind my back, all the riffin' ya did,
Front and center, now when you look back kid?
Who dat is? A mean brotha, bad for your health
Lookin damn good though, if I could say it myself
Told me Loveless is a mad man, but I don't fear that
Got mad weapons too, ain't tryin to hear that
Tryin to bring down me, this champion
When y'all clowns gon' see that it can't be done
Understand me son, I'm the slickest they is,
I'm the quickest they is, did I say I'm the slickest they is
So if you barking up the wrong tree we comin, don't be startin nothin
Me and my partner gonna test your chest, Loveless
Can't stand the heat then get out the Wild Wild West

We going straight to (when I roll into the)the Wild Wild
West (when I stroll into the)
We going straight to (when I bounce into the)the Wild Wild
West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West

To any outlaw tryin to draw, thinkin you're bad,
Any draw on West best with a pen and a pad,
Don't even think about it, six gun, weighin a ton,
10 paces and turn, just for fun, son,
Up till sundown, rolling around,
See where the bad guys are to be found and make 'em lay down,
The defenders of the west,
Crushin on pretenders in the west,
Don't mess with us cuz we're in the (Wild Wild West)

We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West
We going straight to the Wild Wild West, come on

(Wild Wild West)
When I roll into the
(Wild Wild West)
When I stroll into the
We going straight to the Wild Wild West (the Wild Wild West)
(Wild, Wild West) whoo, uh
(Wild Wild West) ha ha ha ha
(Wild Wild West) uh Dru, Dru
(Wild Wild West) I done done it again y'all done done it again
(Wild Wild West) ha ha ha ha
(Wild Wild West) Big Will, Dru Hill, uh
(Wild Wild West) Big Will, Dru Hill ha ha ha ha
(Wild Wild West) *the Wild Wild West*
(Wild Wild West) uh
(Wild Wild West) one time
(Wild Wild West) uh,
(Wild Wild West) *the wild wild west* bring in the heat, bring in the
heat, what?
(Wild Wild West)
(Wild Wild West) uh can't stop the bumrush
*the Wild Wild* (the Wild Wild West)

The Departed is the best movie I've seen in the past two years.

so it sounds like the two best movies this year were little miss sunshine and the departed. on this nod i downloaded and watched little miss sunshine last night.

it sucked. for those who haven't seen it, it's donnie darko + [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085995/]vacation[/url] + massively cliche scriptwriting.

is the departed actually good? :(

Rocky Balboa is coming out, so I assume we will all be changing our votes soon.

Rocky loses many points for casting Milo Ventimiglia, but we shall see.

Out of the 2 I saw, Borat was the best. Pirates was like the first one. Exactly.
Tokyo Drift wins as well for having an unbearable amount of fine girls. And being a masterpiece.

Out of those movies, I've only seen Borat, Thank You For Smoking and Little Miss Sunshine. I thought they were all good.
