Movies/episodes of shows that you would erase from memory?

Anna Roz · Post by **Anna Roz** » Sun Jan 04, 2004 11:48 am

Okay, this might seem like a pointless topic to some, but I dunno..here it goes: What episodes of your favorite (least fav?) shows do you wish would just be wiped out from your memory, or erased from the face of the earth as we know it? The same can go for movies you wish you'd never saw..Well, here I go..WARNING: The first is a pretty angry rant, and I'm sure anyone who saw this episode would clobber me over the head for not liking it, but hey, I'm an individual, what can I say?

1.-The "Raisins" episode of South Park. Yes, you may kill me now for saying this. No, it wasn't because two fictional characters, Stan and Wendy, broke up for good (Hey, I'm not that hooked to TV shows to the point where I whine like a baby over some fictional characters breaking it off).No, it's not 'cause I'm a whiny little brat, either. The episode was rushed, too short, and well, those *CENSORED* Goth kids took up most of the episode! I'll say it once and I'll say it again, The goth kids pretty much ruined the episode! GAAAH! It was funny at first, but geez, mellow out on the GOTHS! AACK! Most people I know like this episode and would probably clobber me to death with an aluminum bat for not liking this episode. From what I heard, it was meant to be a "character-centric" episode and not a "satire-centric" one, but in my opinion, it was more of a "GOTHCENTRIC" one, I mean if it wasn't the "Raisins" plot in it, it was those lousy Goth kids! BLEECH! Give me any other episode over this one, please! I think this proves that this "character-centric" episode ("character-centric" being very loosely quoted) will never live up to the satire formula ones. Otherwise, the rest of season seven was fine. Let's hope season eight will give me something to wash the awful taste of this episode right out of my mouth.

2. View From The Top. BLEECH! Hate this movie, hate it, hate IT! The previews were misleading, I mean, the previews, made it sound like one of those "Airplane" movies, and at least somewhat funny. But the actual film itself, BLEECH. Yes, that's the sound of me vomiting again after seeing this movie. Never again will I trust the previews for a movie like this. Enough said.

3. The horrible bastard child of Saban that was "The Digimon Movie". Ooh, let's take three of the original Japanese movies, dice them up, add some dumb dubbers' invention of tying them together in some way, and add the leftover parts together. There you go, kids, a nice recipe for disaster. It was bad enough when they first thought of the idea, and it's still bad today. Yes, one of my friends claims I'm biased and that the dub of Digimon is completely faithful to the original, but I think I know when something's been hacked up like this..It was bad enough when Saban kept continuing "Power Rangers" and well, this, I don't think anymore needs to be said..

4. Any of the Disney direct-to video sequels. Why must Disney continue to ruin their classic movies by putting out unnecessary, pointless, crappily animated sequels? The same can be said for any of the Land Before Time sequels.BLEECH. Vomit. Puke. Yes, I know I sound too negative, but hey, I'm an individual too..

So, any movies or episodes of shows( or maybe an entire show?) you wish would just get out of your head, or just be erased completely? I hope I'm not the only one here..

Gilgi- only point of this piece of crap is to mock it ALL THE TIME!

about the View from the Top... an SNL skit. "View from the top- that combined the emotional drama of Child Coustedy hearings and... Arm wrestling!"

okay...

ALL DISNEY SEQUELS. geez... do you REALLY need to make more of them? and Cody Banks 2??? WTFH???

same thing for the Mask 2. if no Jim Carrey, not seeing it. the mask has a good ending, and there should not be a sequel.

and now...

Rocket Power should not have been created. please... a show about kids who are obsessed with, SPORTS! please, make the torcher end...

One word... XANADU :shudder: I love Olivia Nuton John, but this was just bad beyond words.
That's pretty much the only one that comes to mind.

O_o; the Mask has a sequal? I had no idea.
And I agree with the Disney/Don Bluth sequals. Half of them are inaccurate, which drives me crazy. Take that Beauty and the Beast Christmas crap. Where on earth is that supposed to take place? It can't take place after the movie, becuase he's still a beast, and we all know he turns back into a person at the end of the movie. It can't take place DURING the movie, because Belle and the Beast weren't that close until near the very end. WTF? And enough with the Land Before Times, already.

As for movies...*ponders* Queen of the Damned. What a royal piece of crap and a complete insult to the book. Everything about that movie was inaccurate, and the people they cast were just horrid. And would it have killed them to buy a damn bottle of peroxide to bleach Lestat's hair so that his hair is the color it's SUPPOSED to be?!

Well Tiff, when I went to see the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, I saw a poster saying, "The Mask is Back"

I have no idea comes out. Why can't people be like Pixar? when you know when to and when not to make a sequel. Only one movie of theirs has a sequel. Toy Story 2.

I saw the trailor for the Mask 2 when I went to see Return of the King. It's supposed to be about his Baby and it's magic powers because his dad used the Mask. I felt like throwing up then and there. Why oh why must they make these sorts of things that ruin great movies?

As for movies I would like to forget... Baby Geniuses, I had to sit through this while babysitting. What's even worse is they are making a sequel! And my dear, dear Peter Wingfeild is in it! Why Peter, why?

I've said it before, but... Dark Horse Comics should be ashamed. They should make another Mask movie, based on the original comics. ut they've become so obsesses with licensing Predator and Star Wars, that their original stuff us practically ignored.

Anyway... I'd like to have the last few seasons of Family Matters erased. Nay, have the master reels destroyed. While I can't say the show was the greatest ever(Urkel was supposed to be a one-time character, he should have stayed that way), it was a realistic show. Until they gave us Steve's transformaton chamber, matter duplicator, etc.

yoshmaster5 · Post by **yoshmaster5** » Sun Jan 04, 2004 6:26 pm

Oh god... Mask 2 will be a bomb. this will be about as bad a Gilgi. god...

Power Rangers- need I say anything?

3/5 of the fillers in Pocket Monsters. "okay, let's see... let's have uh... 10 fillers seperating this, 15 more here, and 19 here" ARRGH!

I want the GI Joe episode "20 Questions" erased from our history.

The eipsode starts out bad enough with Baroness disguised as a man... constanly holding a briefcase to her chest. Then we dig into the whole plot of the episode- Cobra has built a multi-million dollar underground mountain base for the sole purpose of stealing a few hundred dollars worth of explosive gas. They also steal laughing and itching gas. Which are promptly turned against them as Shipwreck, who's more intelligent than the rest of the cast combined, manages to take cobra down.
Finish off this jokefest with laser cannons which can shoot down a plane in 1 shot, but can barely dent cardboard targets.

GI Joe had a lot of bad episodes like that. Few were the caliber of "There's No Place Like Springfield", an excellent 2-parter featuring Shipwreck. I think this is because Larry Hama(who came up with the story, characters, etc) never worked on the show, opting for a writer of the week type thing instead.

O_o;; but....that...wha....*rips hair out*
He only had the power when he had the mask ON! It's not like it stayed with him. God, how I hate thrown-together, unresearched sequals.

Lesseeeee....I'd like to erase any episode of the Anne Nicole Smith show out of my head. What a slob of a pig that woman is. Her and her damn baby talk and her damn pickles made me want to kill things.

Presumably, the concept of The Mask 2 is that the power does stay in people who have used the Mask, in a dormant form that can then be passed on into kids. No one in the first movie would have known this to be the case, so there's no reason we would have been told about it in the first movie.

The sequel still looks like a load of crap, but I don't think the concept is inconsistent with the first movie. Improbable and dumb, yes... but not technically inconsistent.

yoshmaster5 · Post by **yoshmaster5** » Sun Jan 04, 2004 7:26 pm

oh yeah...

anything like the, "Lizzie McGuire Movie" and video games like that... ugh. those things shouldn't even EXIST.

Okay, thank you, that makes a little more sense. Okay, even though it may not be inconsistant, it still sounds royally stupid. What, is the baby going to bounce around with a green head, and say "SMOKIN" in a baby voice? *shudder*

Anna Roz · Post by **Anna Roz** » Sun Jan 04, 2004 9:12 pm

Speaking of sequels, I hear they're planning to make a sequel to..*drumroll* The Goonies. Yes, you heard me, the Goonies. Why it needs a sequel, 20 or so years later after it was released, I don't know. It's supposed to take place 20 years later with the original Goonies all grown up and some new kids..(uh-oh, I can see where this is going..) learn about the Goonies and decide to go off on their own adventure, calling themselves the "Groonies". WHY? What was so wrong with just leaving the first movie alone? Now this one is just a rumor, but there's been talk of a "Lost Boys" sequel for several years and it seems to be growing in popularity, other versions of the rumor say that the new movie will be a remake called "The Lost Girls". WHAT? Please, people, for the sake of all humanity, please don't bother "doing a Disney" and releasing sequels direct to video right after the original comes out, or wait 20 years to do a sequel that is likely to bomb just as bad..*sigh* Some '80s movies are as fine as they are..some don't need sequels..Is nothing sacred in Hollywood these days? *crickets* I guess not..

The Real World: Vancouver is an abomination of God. Who was the "genius" who came up with this crap? "Oh! Let's take that real World show, ya know, the show that's all about REAL PEOPLE and their REAL INTERACTIONS, and make a fictionalized TV movie!" This is a bad idea any way you look at it. The whole allure of the Real World is that it's REAL. REAL is part of the name! On top of this, the plot itself (what?! since when does real world need a plot?) is completely unbelievable. Everything works out for the best in the end too. It's just so.. it made me feel dirty for being a human.

The Italian Job was a really popular movie, but definitely not one I would have chosen to go see. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to see this.. this collection of cars going really fast that had no substance. I swear the writers first thought was to make a movie highlighting car scenes, then go from there.

Sakuya · Post by **Sakuya** » Sun Jan 04, 2004 11:21 pm

This is for the supposedly-popular Hong Kong film, Hero. Argh!

It goes back and forth, back and forth, in different colors, back and forth, back and forth...you get the idea. But the fights are pretty well done (especially the fight over the lake/pond).

I think it takes place about....maybe somewhere near the end of the movie? I have only seen the end of B&TB2 so I wouldn't really know...

As for me...THE NEVERENDING STORY III. Why they even bothered with that sequel is beyond me. It's just something made for kids with short attention spans who have never read the book. The second movie at least made an attempt to cover the book (it just suffered from an overall lack of atmosphere coupled with a blatant disregard for several major plot points)

DreamEmpress · Post by **DreamEmpress** » Mon Jan 05, 2004 12:44 am

I have to agree with the Land Before Time sequels being erased. Now the whole Power Ranger thing in general scared me when it first came out. *shiver*

Actually, I liked the Lizzie McGuire Movie. But then again, I'm into stuff like that sometimes so I'm probably in the minority.

If I could, I'd erase the show Barney from the face of the planet. My sister drove me crazy in my teens with that show and it's still going. No dinosaur in their right mind would act like him. If he were a realist one, those kids would be running for their lives to the hills. *ends rant*

Ok, here is something that scares me....Strawberry Shortcake, He-man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being reanimated after over a decade. If anyone was born in the 80's, you might understand my horror. They took perfectly good shows and multilated them. You can't even really tell what kid represents what on Strawberry Shortcake anymore. It was scary enough seeing her in overalls.

Thank you. I HATE it when Hollywood does that. Hello, moviemakers? Their's a reason why authors make their characters look a certain way. What pisses me off most though is when they turn a book into a movie and make the female characters more attractive then they were in the book. The realistic girl with the long dark hair and pale skin becomes the two dimensional bleached blonde with size ZZZ breasts and skin darker than toast.

Episode 16(?) of Excel Saga, that one that had both Ropponmatsu becoming "imprinted" on Excel and Hyatt. I liked the bigger one when she first appeared, but that small one should have stayed blown up...

And every Land Before Time after the second except for that one that had the crocodile and the annoying little bird (those two were funny).
