Jack Hammer Audioholic Field Marshall Oct 19, 2005 1,801 0 63 Chicago, Illinois Dec 16, 2008 #1 ...After downing quite a bit of beer and a few shots I decided to watch Alien vs Predator: Requiem on BD instead of Iron Man on BD. Why I watched a turd like this can only be summed up somewhere between, "I got hammered," and "it seemed like a good idea at the time." Oddly, for the first time I understood all the misguided plot points and other quirks of the movie that never made any sense at all to me and I actually enjoyed the movie quite a bit. The darkness of the picture, so dark I had to strain at times to see what was happening, followed by the bad acting and the rapid cut scenes seemed to blend into a mesmerizing meld of murderous mayhem. The kind of mayhem that can only be understood and enjoyed by those who've thoroughly studied and followed the franchises in question or those who find themselves mentally incapacitated, either through psychological malfunction or severe inebriation (as in my case). Sooooo..... .......it got me wondering, what other movies have people found to be quite entertaining that under "normal" conditions they would find to be downright awful? Jack (AKA: Drunken Fool(at the moment)) Reactions: Tomorrow

Click to expand... Hm. I might not go to the extent of saying Transformers was downright awful, but I find it a lot more enjoyable after downing a few. OTOH, I think I need to take a break from action movies. I've been inducing some ringing of the ears. We'll see how successful I can possibly be with that. Reactions: Jack Hammer

M MatthewB. Audioholic General Nov 7, 2008 1,354 0 0 My Own Private Hell Dec 16, 2008 #11 In high school I found that I could finally understand Pink Floyds "The Wall" after smoking the "erb" and when getting drunk, I like to watch college comedies like "Road Trip" or "Van Wilder" and 'Dazed and Confused" and even though it's a stupid movie I have to have a beer in hand if "St. Elmo's Fire" is on. Also last weekend I watched "Across The Universe" on Showtime or HBO (one of those) and even though I don't smoke the "erb" no more, I felt this movie would benefit highly (pun intended) if I were a wee bit baked.

J jostenmeat Audioholic Spartan Feb 26, 2007 6,789 0 0 Dec 22, 2008 #17 I watched Bottle Rocket last night, and just laffed my butt off man. I saw it years ago, and didn't laff so hard at that time. Maybe it was the booze?! Looked excellent IMO, on Criterion. Makes me very excited to see the others, and I'm very excited about seeing The Third Man for the first time. Also, a couple of the songs had excellent imaging/space for a movie soundtrack, if not on a classical recording level. I was pleased with that. DTSMA if I recall. Reactions: Jack Hammer
