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

I love Katharine Hepburn. But christ I can't bear John Wayne or westerns.

That Mayan film was seriously gruesome but was actually a really good film. Not being up on Mayan history I didn't notice the inaccuracies. But then The Tudors is my current favourite programme so anything goes so long as JRM is in it!

What was that other Mel Gibson, brit-bashing dross? The Patriot or something? Exceedingly bad hat?

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/02/2011 22:32

Oh I forgot Mel Gibson gets executed and chopped up at the end

When I was a kid everyone was a bit John Wayne obsessed. We all said 'Get off your horse and drink your milk' in a John Wayne style but I don't know what it meant.Hmm

I can understand the lack of blood a bit cornsilk.

His bits were cut off first and entrails wrenched out and burnt. We didn't see that though sadly and the quartering would have happened after the wank-fest which was Mel Gibson seeing his lost love wandering through the crowd.

Indeed, The Patriot, laugh out loud ridiculous and exceedingly bad. Though annoyingly watchable Grin. Apparently the French loathe it because it utterly downplays their contribution to the American War of Independence!

cornsilk · 11/02/2011 22:38

What a shame they cut that bit out.

Mists · 11/02/2011 22:39

Wasn't it?

Oh - there was a bit I liked, where the King threw his son's boyfriend out of the castle window.

2012 is still on and it is so dull that I can't think of anything to say about it.

The Patriot was namechecked in The Big C last week by th main character (a teacher) as only about 20% accurate, but if watched, would still make the viewer more informed that 95% of Americans about their Revolution.

2012 has the worst closing line of a movie OF ALL TIME.

Mists · 11/02/2011 22:42

That's funny. And a bit scary.

cornsilk · 11/02/2011 22:42

yes I liked that it - pity he didn't throw the son out as well. That perm was terrible

Mists · 11/02/2011 22:43

He reminded me of the Prince in The Holy Grail with that do.

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/02/2011 22:44

I haven't seen 2012 - what is the ending?

OP posts:
Mists · 11/02/2011 22:45

Oh I've thought of something about 2012. John Cusack is too good to be in this film.

Waiting for the closing line now...

BitOfFun · 11/02/2011 22:45

Is it ok if I spoil it for people?

Mists · 11/02/2011 22:46

Go ahead Grin

WillYouDoTheDangFanjo · 11/02/2011 22:47

Lovely bit of swearing in the thread title there

cornsilk · 11/02/2011 22:49

what are you spoiling bof?

BitOfFun · 11/02/2011 22:49

They cut to the little girl, who has always been afraid, but can now face her future free from fear, saying "Look Daddy, no more night-time diapers!"

cornsilk · 11/02/2011 22:50

what is the closing line - haven't seen it

cornsilk · 11/02/2011 22:50

that's rubbish!

Mists · 11/02/2011 22:51

Haaaaaaaaa !!! Grin Grin Grin

GreenEyesandHam · 11/02/2011 22:51

I'm in shock.

That's like, seriously bad
