Movies that were way better than expected...

Yes, indeed!

Now that I think about it, I was actually a bit skeptical going in because Kevin Costner’s “Wyatt Earp” had only been released a year before and I was thinking “Do we really need another one this soon?”

The Costner movie was enjoyable, but Tombstone beats it every which way.

Agreed. I loved Open Range.

Yes that was one of the best bits, and it's the perfect opener to set the stage for the entire movie. You get the celebs doing absurd, dirty (including sexually explicit) humor that is often funny specifically because it goes gleefully over the top without looking back.

A lot of the movie is pretty tame compared to that opener.

Fans of Loose Shoes, Kentucky Fried Movie, Amazon Women on the Moon... And I think I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (is that right?).... they will all love this movie.

Most of the critical bashing comes from people who probably went just to see the A-list stars and were shocked by the juvenile humor they weren't looking for, which would be really funny if it was intended to be exactly that way. If it was literally marketed to bring in a casual wide range of people and then guarantee to gross out or offend a good portion of them, just by sheer statistics. The low scores would then be its vindication.

The two must be just similar enough to amplify their good ideas, while being just different enough to spot each other's bad ideas. Sibling rivalry would actually be productive here, always trying to find fault with the other one.

You honestly have to be pretty fucked up in the head to love Movie 43, and that's why I love it. Highly recommended as long as you're not easily offended or grossed out (and it's really nothing outlandish). I was just telling hownos it would be hilarious "If it was literally marketed to bring in a casual wide range of people and then guarantee to gross out or offend a good portion of them, just by sheer statistics."

I'll list one more: Cool Hand Luke. The movie felt oddly modern in a lot of ways. The picture is just phenomenal, too, as it was basically shot on the same format as IMAX film, which basically makes it look like a modern production on blu-ray. Something that was just shot months ago.

Cool.
