So, does anyone here have movies in their collection that, in your eyes, are complete ass or half-complete-ass but manages to avoid being flushed away into oblivion?
I've been going through a bunch of flicks the past few days, some good, some great, and a few just outright awful.
This little game here is to pick yourself a movie you don't quite like and reason why it's still in your collection; more specifically a scene that you'd fast forward to just to chew it up.
My pick was going to be Star Wars - Attack of the Clones. That when I load it up, once in a leap year eclipse, I'd go to that one scene near the end where the two jedi fight Dookoo.
Only this time. I was watching it muted. (Everything up to that point, the clone troopers attack the bots, the rescue in the arena....was pathetically underwhelming).
And then there I am, watching Obi-wan get it on with Saruman. And it's not really a bad thing to see, but still boring. Then Ani tags in. I couldn't believe my fucking eyes, that after Ani slashes that power belt/line, and the lights dim - that Ani and Dookoo spend like forever twirling their light sabers over their heads until finally making contact.
How in the hell did that get by?
I don't know. I think I'll flush Clones now. Or at most hide it behind my reviewed copies of Menace, Guilty by Association, and Invitation to Hell.
So have at.
