DP has got it on - every so often I look up at Mel Gibson's vile face and blowdry and hurl insults at the screen.

DP: shurrup getorf
Me: it's SHITE. I bet all the Scots in the world think it's SHITE as well

If defenestrated is the word for being chucked out of a window, what is the word for the poker death?

Psammead how very dare you!

Just because you have feet like a hobbit and have run out of Veet don't take it out on me! Wink

Grin dawntigga

They do negate the need for Uggs, mind...

You just want a round front door and a simple, rustic and slightly mischievous life.

Are we still talking about Braveheart?

It is so wanky that even though they (sort of) rebuilt the lovely ruined castle near us and used it in the film and set fire to it (which caused great excitement in the town), I cannot bring myself to watch it, even to see the castle.

He does look stinky, but I gather they were rather stinky back then. All that running about and no indoor plumbing...

My kids favourite films are Die Hard, Braveheart and Starship Troopers.

And they're 5 and 7 !!!!

Their dad (XH) got many bollockings for letting them see those Shock

I bloody love Braveheart.

Yes it's historically inaccurate. Yes it could be seen as English bashing but being opressed by the English is a fairly major part of Scottish history...

Have gone off Mel Gibson in recent years (cough) but he does a pretty good Scottish accent and looked very pretty in a scabby old kilt imo.

Has this really gone on for 11 pages and no one has mentioned Eat Pray Love?

The worst film ever (with Tomb Raider a close second)

Tonbraider was pants but it did havE Daniel Craig (ok, with a dodgy American accent) and that shower scene! Ian Glen was quite a sexy villain as well.

begonyabampot · 14/02/2011 15:44

Tonbraider - or Tomb Raider even - shouldn't have had that extra glass of wine at lunch!

mamadiva · 14/02/2011 15:56

Okay I may have a rival for shittiest film ever...

Just back from the cinema...

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT EVER WATCH GNOMEO AND BLOODY JULIET!!!

DS and my sister actually fell asleep :o

notyummy · 14/02/2011 16:02

300 - utter rubbish. Dh and I switched it off after the 700th slo-mo shot of battle....

I am not against a good battle (enjoyed LOTR etc) but there has to be a story line OTHER than the battle IMHO.

RockLover · 14/02/2011 17:02

YANBU, Braveheart is shite.

Apart from the fact that it is all a load of fictional bollocks touted as being true historical fact.

Then there is the controversy of Mel Gibson filming it in Ireland because he didn't want to film in Scotland Confused.

Oh and then there is the main fact that Mel Gibson is a complete KNOB!

flickor · 14/02/2011 17:02

I love line from a book which said adding Gromit would make this film historically more accurate.DP loves as he is Scottish and anything that includes bashing the English. Prefer Mad Max
