Which movie looks worse

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

lately I've been "treated" to two of the all time bad commercials/trailers in the same month.

 

now both these look awful, and barring a miracle, both will be awful. But which do you think will be awfuler....eh, more awful

Well, I haven't seen the one for Radio, but I think that House of the Dead will be a fun little romp...

and your avatar looks like a guy forcing some other guy to give him oral pleasure...I'm disturbed...and facinated?....no...no that's just disturbed.

[Guest El Satanico]

um...neither looks that bad.

 

Radio doesn't look like something I'd be interested in, but I don't see anything awful about it.

Movies about retards are always academy award winners. House of Dead looks like crap.

[Guest El Satanico]

but fun crap

[Guest Goodear]

They both look aweful. Radio seems to be doing its best to take the Forst Gump football scenes and expanding them to fit a whole movie. And while the potential commedy of having the retarded kid knock down players with a tackling dummy, there is also the distinct possibilty of way too much 'message' getting crammed down your pie hole.

 

House of the Dead has creepy dudes licking some chick, well armed ravers, and some chick jumping in the air to fire a shotgun... none of which makes any sense!

 

HoTD will probably be worse, but Radio will likely be more annoying... go with Radio.

[Guest Coffey]

What the fuck? Radio looks fantastic. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Hopefully it will be as good as Rudy. I already know that I'm going to like it.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Every screening review I've read for House of the Dead says it's god awful in every way.

 

It wins by default, I guess.

Radio looks terrible. I couldn't sit and watch that for an hour and a half...especially when the trailer is so geared towards telling you the entire story right away.

 

House of the Dead is guaranteed to suck.

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

Honestly, it doesn't matter that people don't like the way House of the Dead looks because....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HORROR OWNS ALL!!!!!!!

Woohoo for Radio! The place, people, and the story it's based on is right up the road from where I am. Hell, Cuba Gooding Jr. is going to be in town here, and the premier is taking place here.

I think Radio looks good. House of the Dead looks like bad horror (and not in the so bad it's good way, just bad)

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

What looks good about Radio?

[Ripper 0]

The only reason that movie looks bad to you guys is because "Feel Good" movies, and I am guessing here, aren't exactly your cup of tea.

 

I had no idea what movie you were talking about that movie at first, but after reading the thread, I remembered seeing the preview. It looks like another "feel good" family film.

[Youth N Asia 0]

There's nothing wrong with cheesy overcoming obsticals and whatnot dramas, as long as they're done well. And I like Cuba Gooding.

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

I like Cuba Gooding Jr. too...and I love Ed Harris (on a manly way of course...) but this doesn't look good.

 

It's not because it's "feel good" I loved Rudy and Rocky...

 

It's because it looks bad.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

But, you've yet to answer why it looks bad...

 

Anyway, i'll be going to see Radio. It's looks good, and I happen to be a fan of Cuba Gooding Jr.

 

Radio looks terrible. I couldn't sit and watch that for an hour and a half...especially when the trailer is so geared towards telling you the entire story right away.

 

There is no big story to it...

 

It's about a mentally challenged guy who wants to be accepted.

 

It's not original, but nothing wrong with it.

This is the problem here...ignore the fact that Cuba Gooding, Jr. won an Oscar. What were the last few movies that he's been in? Rat Race? Boat Trip? Snow Dogs? This sticks in my mind. I don't really care much for someone who lowers himself to cheesy, campy, unfunny comedy, then thinks he can return to the Oscar race by doing a "deep, moving" picture. And he'll probably win another Oscar for it, too.

[the pinjockey 0]

I seriously doubt he will win an Oscar for this.

 

Radio doesn't look overly offensive, it just looks like this year's The Rookie. I didn't like The Rookie, but I wouldn't say it was completely terrible.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

The Rookie was a good damn movie.

What's wrong with making dumb comedies? I hate actors who take themselves too seriously and won't do anything slightly low brow.

[Guest El Satanico]

Cuba just needs a better agent

[Youth N Asia 0]

Granted, his movies are really hit and miss. But he comes off as a likeable guy and his image doesn't seem to take hits when he does bad movies.

[Guest Urine Sane]

I think Radio will be worse, and I just say this because they are obviously making the movie to try and win awards. At least House of the Dead doesn't try to get across the same recycled message " We felt sorry for the handicapped person, tried to teach him, but HE ENDED UP TEACHING US!!!! *tears* *tears*"

 

Yeah and Ive seen handicapped person piss on a bowling lane approach, didn't learn shit from that (except that piss soaks into approaches).

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

tried to teach him, but HE ENDED UP TEACHING US!!!! *tears* *tears*"

that line actually made me cry, though probably not for the reasons they were aiming for.

[Guest Boomer Sprinklespax]

Cuba just needs a better agent

El nailed it on the head with this one. Cuba's been in some bad movies (Rat Race, Instinct, Boat Trip) and some great movies (As Good As It Gets, Jerry Maguire, Boyz N Tha Hood). He's definitely guilty of doing movies that he (or his agent) think will win awards (Instinct and Men of Honor being prime examples), but cut him some slack. Dude can be a kick-ass actor given material.

 

As for Radio...movies about the mentally challenged seem to be hit and miss, and also seem to split the audience right down the middle. It really depends on the strength of the script which, IMO, could be really good or really bad really, really easily.

 

For the record, I don't think either movie will be THAT bad. I mean, seriously, I'd wager that House of the Dead will be exactly the same quality as Resident Evil, and Radio will be exactly the same quality as I Am Sam. After all, both movies were made due to the semi-success of the two previous. Hollywood is just trying to capitalize by churning out more mediocrity, which, unfortunately, will probably succeed in some way.

 

For another record, I Am Sam is better than Resident Evil, and I'm betting Radio will be better than House of the Dead.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

Maybe that's why I disagree with people on this. When I think of I Am Sam and Resident Evil, I do not think of quality.

[AndrewTS 0]

Pfft--you seem to forget about Elf, which will suck far worse than either.

the hell is he talkin bout?

I like Rat Race. Not as good as the movie it's based on but still fun.
