EVIL~! alkeiper Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 Beetlejuice is now 20 years old. Yet every time I go to a baseball game, I have to hear this insipid crap three or four times a game, where the loudspeaker will play "Day-O" and the crowd repeats it like trained sheep. It's annoying as hell.
Twisted Intestine Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 That was by far the worst scene in Beetlejuice
Black Lushus Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 what are you talking about? the entire movie was shitty.
CanadianGuitarist Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 what are you talking about? the entire movie was shitty. Until there's a Black Lushus pasta.....nothin doin.
luke-o Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 what are you talking about? the entire movie was shitty.
Guest Soriano's Torn Quad Posted August 21, 2007 Report Posted August 21, 2007 Oh, it is very bad. I also had to put up with a lot of EV-RY-BO-DY-CLAP-YOUR-HANDS! when I went to a Brewers game. We need the crowd to sing songs, like the English do at soccer games. The fans at Wrigley sing along to "Go Cubs Go" after wins, which I find odd, since the song's chorus says "the Cubs are gonna win today," but they already did! Drunk yuppies don't get verb tenses.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 This is one of my beloved childhood treasures that I have no interest in revisiting in my adulthood; let me have my memories. (FYI: Ed Wood is the only Tim Burton movie I much like these days, so I know Beetlejuice won't hold up.)
Gary Floyd Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Burton's Batman movies don't stand up too well these days.
Black Lushus Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 I disagree...I rewatched Batman the other day and still enjoyed it....but that's just me. even though it was cheesy, I enjoyed Sleepy Hollow. I also liked Big Fish.
Gary Floyd Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Sleepy Hollow's pretty good, but that's just the horror nerd in me. Batman suffers because of Nicholson, IMO. He steals the show, but it doesn't feel like you are watching the Joker.
treble Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 A few summers ago at work, we were sitting around on break, talking about movies when I mentioned that I liked Big Fish. Everybody at the table made of fun of me for liking a shitty movie, then went right into a conversation about how funny Pauly Shore was.

Everybody at the table made of fun of me for liking a shitty movie, then went right into a conversation about how funny Pauly Shore was. I'm terrified of how often this might happen. Additionally true with Adam Sandler. I can't believe that's still your signature. Fucking awesome. I giggle like hell every time I see it. Don't type what your job is for the next few weeks here, or you'll get asked at least twice "Oh, so that was your vocation?"
treble Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 It's not even like it slowly segued into Pauly Shore. I was an idiot for liking Big Fish and Pauly Shore was hilarious.
Black Lushus Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 I'm also an Ewan McGregor mark so that could be the basis for liking that movie. Really though, it's not a bad movie.
treble Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Yeah, I liked it, that's why I brought it up when one of them said it was a bad movie. If I learned anything from working there, it was to not listen to those guys' opinions on movies. This one guy would download shitty movies on his days off and then quote them all week to whoever would listen. He really liked Larry the Cable Guy having an air conditioner in the back windshield of his truck.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 I wanna push the thread back to the topic of bad music at sporting events. The Orioles have played John Denver's "Thank God Im a Country Boy" at the 7th inning stretch for as long as I can remember, goes back to the days of Mark Bellanger.. John Denver died October 12, 1997 in a plane crash. The Orioles lost the next game they played in OPACY (Game 6 of the ALCS on October 15, losing the Series to the Indians) and have never had a .500 season since. Its the Curse of John Denver! Stop playing "Thank God Im a Country Boy!"
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Posted August 22, 2007 I'd say the Orioles are suffering more of the curse of putting shit on the ballfield. Ever since they started doing that, they've failed to clear .500. Or firing Davey Johnson.

Everybody at the table made of fun of me for liking a shitty movie, then went right into a conversation about how funny Pauly Shore was. But Pauly Shore is funny, just watch California Man. As for Batman, the best thing about the film is Nicholson, the films pretty terrible otherwise but he makes the film very watchable.

Everybody at the table made of fun of me for liking a shitty movie, then went right into a conversation about how funny Pauly Shore was. Big Fish is an excellent movie.
Nighthawk Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 You mean Encino Man, luke-o. Actually I like pretty much all the movies mentioned. I'm easily pleased.
luke-o Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Oh yeah, Enicino Man. Not sure why they changed the name over here. It's still awesome.
Nighthawk Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Probably figured nobody would know where Encino was. I've been there and I'm not even sure.
luke-o Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 But the film is set in Enchino and they mention that an awful lot over the course of the film. I know we Brits are not percieved as the sharpest of knives, but were not totally stupid. Meh, California Man is a better title.
Nighthawk Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 You're supposed to know just by hearing the title though. Besides, I didn't know being stupid was a British stereotype. It's an American one. Americans are apparently supposed to be too stupid to know what a philosopher is.
Black Lushus Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 come on man....Michael Keaton did surprisingly well as Bruce Wayne/Batman. If anyone brings the movie down, it's Kim Basinger.
luke-o Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Besides, I didn't know being stupid was a British stereotype. It is if you're me come on man....Michael Keaton did surprisingly well as Bruce Wayne/Batman. If anyone brings the movie down, it's Kim Basinger QFT, Basigner is pretty awful in the film. To be honest, as flawed as Batman is, I really enjoy watching it. Nicholson has some gold lines in that film.
