What movie is in your top list despite its absolute shit rating? (self.asklemmy)

I think for me it's alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don't get much into the details of why it is or isn't a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Yes it's utterly ridiculous. I don't care, it's still a masterpiece of absurdity to me. That 13% on RT is a shame.

Also how has it been 23 years since its release.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

it's an interesting and funny concept, but its just too much in the format of a whole film for me. I think its funny for the most part but its too much at like the 25% mark

That movie rules. Shaolin Soccer is also pretty good.

You're thinking of Kung Fu Hustle, which is brilliant in every way.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

And I think it doesn't qualify, because it was fairly well reviewed and did quite well at the box office.

[–] deus 3 points 3 days ago

Yes, that's the one! Now I guess I have to watch Kung Pow as well.

Shaolin Soccer is the greatest masterpiece ever created with film.

The mistreatment of the female lead was a little too over the top, but otherwise 10/10 good film

[–] Lawnman23 5 points 2 days ago

Hell yea!

[–] chiliedogg 9 points 3 days ago

Kung Fu Hustle is Kung Pow, but good.

My girlfriend got me plastered and showed me this fever dream of a movie. 10/10 experience

I'm sure on some planet this movie is impressive, but its weak link is: this is Earth.
