Overrated Crap

Recommended Posts

Everybody's got an opinion on something they think is a vastly overrated piece of crap (to use the polite word). Let's have a little fun and list some of yours. Here are a few of mine:

"Last Tango in Paris". Found the DVD buried in a box after moving 3 years ago from our last place. Maria Schneider (the girl) just died a few weeks ago, so I figured I'd watch it again. What a complete piece of self absorbed Brando bullshit. After sodomizing the poor girl , he lies around contemplating his face in a mirror ? Schneider's got a bush that looks like Fidel Castro. Mercifully, she shoots Brando dead at the end (oh- did I give it away ? Too bad...) Probably the only smart thing she does the entire film, as her other boyfriend's a jerk too. This is supposed to be "classic Brando" ? Hell, maybe it is, if so, I rest my case. The disc went straight into the trash.

Let's see what else, oh yeah, Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird". I'd rather put my eyes out with knitting needles than EVER hear that song again. Don't play it at your funeral, or I'll walk out on you !

"Inna Godda Da Vida", or however the fuck you spell it. Need I even say more ?

Okay, that was fun and I feel a whole lot better. Now it's your turn (try it, it's fun).

Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

I TOTALLY agree with you on Free Bird. If ever a song didn't sound like a free bird it is that one.
I never could figure out why people were so enamored with it.
Tom Petty can't tune an instrument and anything by him would be second on my list. Flat tuning makes my teeth ache.

Totally 100% agree!. Except for "Raising Arizona", where I thought he was fantastic. (so, 99.9% agree.) But then, I think his character in that movie was totally suited to his real personality and acting persona.

ETA: Divalent's sig line is....meh



Old Country, Rebel Country and Texas Country not included, I agree. Most of Nashville country sucks!

It's the only "slow" song that most bar bands sorta half-assed knew back in the day. By the time they got around to playing it just about everyone in the bar was shit-faced and ready to play grab-ass on the dance floor. It's a wonder more bars didn't burn to the ground with all the Bics being flicked by people who could barely sit up on a barstool. .....Ahhhh! The memories!!:)

Steven Seagall is the Triathlon canopy of acting. He does it all, and all of it badly.

He opens like crap and his "flair" is really weak! At least he comes in a lot of goofy colors.:D

A Cobalt?

Something that is a piece, but loved by some folks out there, and all hyped up?

Thanks for saving me from ever watching that movie. It was supposed to be a big deal, but like you said. It's not the only movie Brando f-ed up. :P

Free Bird? Aw, it's okay. I saw the original band years ago, and they rocked pretty hard.

My son sat on the couch and watched 2001- A Space Oddesey with us the other night. He said it was a total waste of his time. It IS dated as hell. Sorry, Stanley K. :D

I've still never watched the entire movie "Easy Rider." Some of it's just a little too 60's Stoner crap for me. :P

Yeah, we tried that a few years ago, with the same result.

"The Producers" too [:/]

But Nicholas Cage was really hot in "The Rock." Acting was not required; it was OK just to look at him :)
As far as overrated crap, well, I've never been able to see the "Magic Eye" pictures.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

That movie is on my all time favorite list, but that's also because Sean Connery carried Cage on that movie!

Just like Sean Connery carried Kevin Costner thru "The Untouchables." I never have to worry about when I go bald and gray, 'cause Valinda says Sean is hottt.B|

You mean bald, not gray. He's worn a hair piece in his movies (minus the natural look in The Untouchables) since Goldfinger!
