I don’t think Tideland was all that bad. I’m not sure if I like it, but there are definitely good elements and a sweetness to it. I’m not sure what people find so “offensive” about it. Yes, there’s all the business with her father’s corpse, and the relationship with the neighbor boy, but it’s not really more disturbing subject matter than many other movies deal with.

Happening made me angry, because that trailer with all teh folks falling off the roof.. had so much promise.
It was so awful.

Oh wow, Superman Returns made me so blazingly angry that I forcibly blocked it out. That’s my real #1.

The Happening didn’t anger me, I consider it one of the decade’s best comedies.

Some films that made me angry:

Superman Returns- Big Blue as a stalker, and a son?!? WTF?
X-3- first ten minutes the paragon X-Man is killed.
The Happening- I like the actor, but man was Mark Wahlberg bad in this, as was Leguizamo.
Iron Man- for reasons personal.
Miami Vice- for this film to have featuted and highlighted music as the series did was so wrong.

I need to make a list of “Movies I Can’t Believe I Enjoyed That Were Designed To Make Me Angry.”

The Box, Inland Empire, Deadgirl, Spongebob Squarepants the Movie…

but Richard Kelly’s director’s cut didn’t give you a clue?

Mike- I didn’t see The Box on here…

I don’t think I can do justice to this list, my film time is limited these days, I just block out angry times at the theatre/ at home on my TV.

Speaking of unnecessary remakes I'm still waiting for the watered-down film version of the musical version of Evil Dead that my parents can enjoy and sing along to.

I posit that Hollywood is out to grind everything I love into a paste of mediocrity.

First, let’s talk unnecessary horror movie remakes: Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead, The House of Wax, The Grudge, The Ring, The Fog, The Hills Have Eyes…

Then, if it wasn’t enough that my lowbrow faves got worked over unmercifully, some of my favorite high cultcha Victorian books got turned into stomach-turning films:

The Picture of Dorian Gray (2008) – the straightest version of Wilde’s novel yet, which essentially misses the point.

A Christmas Carol (2009) – Dickens’s haunting tale of the inhumanity inherent to economic disparity gets turned into a CGI vehicle for that fuckface Jim Carrey.

Pride and Prejudice (2005) – Keira Knightley does her best Winona Ryder impression and the whole thing turns into a Harlequin Romance by the end.

…and with the absolutely horrendous-looking Sherlock Holmes on the way, there is no end in sight.
