to think fucking Braveheart is the most wankingly awful film every made

[GetOrfMoiLand]

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
DP@ shurrup getorf

wasn't braveheart filmed in Ireland?

I gave Shutter Island more of my life. Utterly crap.

Went to university in Scotland...they loved it!

I hate the spitting bit in Titanic. What were they thinking?

Ha haaaaaa about the axe. That was a very funny scene too.

DH has been watching 2012 for fifteen minutes and is most disappointed that it is taking too long to kill the characters.

Apparently there needs to be a big alien ship.

Independence Day, now that was also wankingly awful...

Mad Max rampaging through the glen.

YANBU - I am Scottish and I have never seen it. I just know that I would loathe it and get irked by the historical innacuracy.
I did study both medieval and Scottish history at university though. I am a bit of a history geek.

Independence day - the Americans save the Earth. The bit with the Brits in was classic.

along with that other Mel Gibson opus 'What Women Want' yuck yuck yuck

Most of it was, but some was filmed in Scotland (ironically most of teh English scenes). They advertised for extras in our local tescos

We watched Lethal Weapon t'other day. It was shit.

Indpendence day LOL, LOL, watched that at the pictures, oh how me and my hubby laughed at the fact that all the buildings fell down and the palm trees remained upright!!!

Oh the humour of it all!!!

redpanda I strongly recommend you don't. My particular favourite is that the Battle of Stirling BRIDGE took part on open moorland

Ah you see I'm a bit of a sucker for Independance Day too (although, like Armageddon I acknowledge it is fango cringingly despicable).

I just like a set of stirring strings.

RIP John Barry

oh yes, 'what women want'. vom.

Oh GOD yes the bloke who played the president in Indepemdence Day - he was awful.

The whole thing was so Captain America is was embarassing.

I have just laughed loudly at that wiki-link about that statue.

Anyone see Kevin Costner's 'Tin Cup'?

OMFG

I will raise you sugar tits!

Now I like to think that he was taking the piss out of America

everything with kevin costner in. and that movie with robin williams where he runs around naked in a park.

hockeyforjockeys - In my first year at university in 2003 my tutor slagged it off. He then said 'I also suspect Mel Gibson is a bit of a fascist'.
He was later proved to be spot on with his suspicions

I do like the Brits in Independence Day. Very tally-ho chaps.

Saw a documentary about it once and they were wanking on about the model of the White House they had built and how they had to get the blowing it up effect right first time because otherwise they'd have to build it again.

I was roaring. Pennies compared to the rest of the budget!

"Most of it was, but some was filmed in Scotland (ironically most of teh English scenes). They advertised for extras in our local tescos"

That has just made me really laugh.

Me and DP watchede Indepemdemce Day not long back, christ it was so bad it was good.

We also saw The Day After Tomorrow - where the whole world gets frozen in an Ice Age in 20 minutes. It is terrible but great fun in its way.

And what is that one with Hilary Swank of all people where they tunnel to the centre of the earth to give the earth's core an electric shock?

'I also suspect Mel Gibson is a bit of a fascist'

Armaggedon - particularly enjoyed Bruce Willis emulating Jesus by dying to save mankind

Robin Hood - Russell Crowe with a scouse accent. Did you know that Robin Hood created the Magna Carta?

I always have to sit here and watch crap films which DP loves.

He made me watch Rooster Cogburn a few months ago. A really old film with John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn in it.

He wants us to go to the cinema and see True Grit tomorrow
