You should've worn a different dress...

[RoryGillmoresEvilTwin]

I'm in bed feeling like I have the lurgy coming on and I decide to watch some fluffy shit on Netflix. Otherwise known as Maid in Manhattan. Complete and utter shite, but it's shite I don't need to concentrate on. So anyway, I was happily half watching, half dozing and I hear the scene where JLo tells one of the Fiennes (could be any of them tbh) that she's only there to tell him they can't go any further...He replies with 'well you should've worn a different dress', while clearly eyeing up her considerable assets...urgh! I'm now feeling poorly with nothing to watch. What a load of nauseating and misogynistic, old bollocks.

What lines/scenes in films do you hate so much you have to turn them off?

@Mazzystarlett - The entirety of Titanic. I went to see it with a narcoleptic and he fell asleep with 10 minutes, the lucky bastard. Only time I've ever been jealous of narcolepsy!

"Nobody puts Baby in the corner."

Fuck off. They quite clearly did, and unless I'm being monumentally dense, it doesn't have a clever second meaning.

And if it does, the second meaning can fuck off too.

Eh? It's a way of saying she belongs centre stage not tucked away in a corner. Then he takes her up to the stage and dances with her.

(Love Dirty Dancing).

And who the fuck calls am adult woman 'Baby??

The whole of St Elmos fire is just wrong

It's a way of saying she belongs centre stage not tucked away in a corner.

I stand by my previous statement.

And who the fuck calls am adult woman 'Baby??

You are my spirit animal.

@Wannabeyorkshirelass

I'm pretty sure that as referenced on a thread here, it has been debunked by Mythbusters, and if he'd got on it would have sank under both their weight

Another vote for four weddings and a funeral line. Ruins the film when they get together. He defo should have ended up with Fi.
Another one that makes me cringe is in Harry Potter 1 - ‘and who owned that wand?’ I know he was a child but god it was dreadful!

But isn't that the point of Dirty Dancing

"Back then, everyone still called me Baby and it didn't occur to me to mind"

"what's your real name"

"Frances, after the first woman in the cabinet"

"Frances, that's a real grown up name"

"NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER"

"Ladies and Gentleman I'd like to introduce my dance partner, Miss Frances Houseman"

(Jack nearly storms up and her Mum stops him)

It wasn't Johnny infantilising her, it was her father.

And yes, I quoted that completely from memory no googling, no YouTube and I'm proud not ashamed 😄

adult woman i think shes 16 in it

I suspect that people's reaction to the "No-one puts Baby in a corner" depends on whether they were themselves put in a corner, or whether they put themselves centre stage

Re-watching DD recently, probably for the first time with more of a parent perspective than a young woman perspective, it struck me that I'm not sure I'm going to be cool with seeing my 17 year daughter gyrating in public with someone much older than them

(Still love the film though)

The whole of Pretty Woman is questionable. Sleazy bloke buying a woman off the street is hardly the great romantic story it's made out to be no matter how pretty the prostitute is.

Gabs
i dont agree about life is like a box of chocolates being a crap line
im sure back then there wasnt a list of whats what in the boxes
Yes they did, I’m 52 and they had them when I was a kid.

And how can you not love that Flash Gordon line, it’s hilarious!

I second Titanic - 3 hours of my life I’ll never get back. Same with Lord of the Rings, and I was pregnant and desperate for a wee!

The scene where Andie McDowall lists all her sexual conquests. I've watched that scene once, which was enough.

(I saw that film in the cinema and loathed it SO MUCH I had to hold myself back from throwing my shoe at the screen.)

The scene where Andie McDowall is trying on wedding dresses. "Don't be so rood!"

Anyway, I quite like the film now for some reason.

Love Actually. All of it. Oh god, save my soul. Same writer as the above. I do so hope he's stopped writing shite once and for all.

The Crown, series 1 & 2 are good to watch on Netflix. I started watching the first season when I wasn't well and found it riveting! Then the second one came out and I watched it twice, second time with husband.
Can't wait for new series, next year.

Rachel love, I think you've got the wrong end of the stick.

😂

"I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her"

Mega movie star that could have any one in the world and she picked that ungrateful soppy twat

Andie McDowell is such a terrible actress. She’s in Groundhog Day, my absolute favourite film. It is wonderful despite her. Everyone else in that film is fantastic.

Not so much dialogue but that bit in Les Mis where Russell Crowe falls to his death and there’s a big noise in the silence as he hits something. Everyone in the cinema I was in laughed, it seemed quite cartoonish.

Keira simpering 'I look quite pretty!' in Love Actually.

But then, having sat through Love Actually once, you'd have to pay me quite a lot to ever watch any of it again.

@AlpacaLypse I'm sorry but it's unacceptable. You will now be relocated to the set of the next Richard Curtis movie, where you'll play the eccentric sidekick to either Hugh Grant, or an American actress who is wholly unsuited to the part, clearly bored shitless, and only got shoehorned in so that people could actually be convinced to watch the sodding thing.

Love Actually is a weird film.
Half the story lines I LOVE =
Alan Rickman, the other woman he works with and Emma Thompson.
Thr Laura Linney story with her ill brother and the gorgeous co-worker
Martin Freeman and the woman he does porn stand in with.

HATE
The Prime Minister and the Tea lady
Liam Neeson son and the American Cool girl

in america kumquat?

anyway yes its hilariously cringe flash gordon
