Guest AaronRock70 Posted February 3, 2002 Report Posted February 3, 2002 I saw Slackers the other night, and I didn't think it was quite as bad as some reviews have said, but it wasn't anything special. Some of the scenes seemed to cross from twisted humor to being downright disturbing. Did anyone else feel a little odd while watching this? Did anyone else bother to spend money on it?
Guest Galactic Gigolo Posted February 4, 2002 Report Posted February 4, 2002 Judging by the fact that it made $3 million this weekend, I doubt we're going to see many people who actually sat through it. If a theater near me keeps it next weekend, I'll probably end up seeing it, but with me still having to see... I Am Sam Count of Monte Cristo Kung Pow! Enter The Fist Birthday Girl Rollerball Big Fat Liar Collateral Damage In The Bedroom Lantana Mothman Prophecies I think Slackers will end up being a Kazaa download.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted February 4, 2002 Report Posted February 4, 2002 Roger Ebert reviews Slackers Just click on the link.
Guest upchuck Posted February 4, 2002 Report Posted February 4, 2002 And Slackers must be bad because Ebert rated it low. He gives anything 3 stars. He even gave that horrible 'action' movie, Tomb Raider 3 stars.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted February 4, 2002 Report Posted February 4, 2002 He didn't just rate it low, he gave it zero. That puts it in the same category as Jaws: The Revenge and Little Indian, Big City.
Guest Galactic Gigolo Posted February 4, 2002 Report Posted February 4, 2002 He didn't just rate it low, he gave it zero. That puts it in the same category as Jaws: The Revenge and Little Indian, Big City. But he also gave O zero stars. That movie kicked some major BUTT!
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted February 4, 2002 Report Posted February 4, 2002 He gave O ***. Here is the review.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted February 4, 2002 Report Posted February 4, 2002 O sucked. Count of Monte Cristo was good...go see that.
Guest netslob Posted February 4, 2002 Report Posted February 4, 2002 i can only think of 2 other movies he gave 0 stars: Freddy got fingered and I spit on your Grave
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted February 5, 2002 Report Posted February 5, 2002 Movies the got 0 stars from Ebert. Mad Dog Time I Spit on Your Grave Freddy Got Fingered Tom Cats Frogs for Snakes Caligula Little Indian, Big City Jaws: The Revenge Slackers An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn BAPS Beyond the Valley of the Dolls Breaking the Rules Dangerously Close Dice Rules Frozen Assets Key Exchange Last Rites North Pink Flamingos Rozencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead Rude Awakening She's Out of Control Sour Grapes Speed Zone The Doom Generation The Hitcher Walker Death Race 2000 The Devils Eric the Viking Guyana - Cult of the Damned Prison Girls Sidney Sheldon's Bloodline
Guest tripledot Posted February 5, 2002 Report Posted February 5, 2002 If a theater near me keeps it next weekend, I'll probably end up seeing it, but with me still having to see... Big Fat Liar hmm. first of all i'm surprised that's on anyone's list of movies to see, but more important than that, amanda bynes is in that movie! boo yes! she is a goddess. that's all, i really have nothing else to say. i think this is my first post at a smarks forum thingy, too, so yay for me. i wonder if my signature thing worked.
Guest J*ingus Posted February 7, 2002 Report Posted February 7, 2002 Actually, he refused to give a star rating to Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls and Pink Flamingoes, but they always show up on lists as "0 stars". I don't think Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, I Spit On Your Grave, The Devils, or Death Race 2000 deserved those ratings, but the rest were pretty damn bad.
Guest TUS_02 Posted February 7, 2002 Report Posted February 7, 2002 You can't go wrong with Sly Stallone in a futuristic movie about racing cross country, running over people!!!!
Guest J*ingus Posted February 7, 2002 Report Posted February 7, 2002 I loved that movie too, it was one of the few genuinely good ones that Corman ever produced aside from his Poe flicks. I think Ebert's loathesome reaction to it was mostly because there were a bunch of unattended kids in the theater, who were laughing and cheering at the bloodshed. Remember that "movies corrupting our children" was an even bigger deal in the early 70's than it is now. I think he'd be much more favorable towards it today.
Guest FakeRazor Posted February 8, 2002 Report Posted February 8, 2002 I may see Slackers just out of sheer curiosity. I mean, it has Big Pete from "Pete and Pete" in it!
Guest Annoyed Grunt Posted February 8, 2002 Report Posted February 8, 2002 Remember that "movies corrupting our children" was an even bigger deal in the early 70's than it is now. I think he'd be much more favorable towards it today. Somehow I don't think he'd give it more than *
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted February 8, 2002 Report Posted February 8, 2002 I think Ebert's loathesome reaction to it was mostly because there were a bunch of unattended kids in the theater, who were laughing and cheering at the bloodshed. That was pretty much his main argument.
Guest Nevermortal Posted February 8, 2002 Report Posted February 8, 2002 He gave North Zero Stars? Why? That movie rules; I own it.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted February 9, 2002 Report Posted February 9, 2002 I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it.
Guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Posted February 9, 2002 He never reviewed Spit on Your Grave I don't think....I searached for it and nothing came out. That was cool movie by the way.
Guest J*ingus Posted February 10, 2002 Report Posted February 10, 2002 He did review it, but his website doesn't have any reviews on it before '86 or thereabouts.
Guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Posted February 11, 2002 Was that ever in the movies????? I saw it video and it don't look like some thing you would see in the movies only on videos.
Guest netslob Posted February 11, 2002 Report Posted February 11, 2002 He never reviewed Spit on Your Grave I don't think....I searached for it and nothing came out. That was cool movie by the way. He did review it: i read it in his "I Hate, Hate, Hated This Movie" book, which gave me the morbid curiosity to go rent it. i almost wish i didn't.
Guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Posted February 12, 2002 Those parts where she killed them cats was sexy though......that girl was smokin.
