I’ve Done A Very Bad Thing
Sunday, February 18th, 2007 at 10:42 pmFriends, I must confess a grave offense.
Earlier this evening, I supported the box office take on Ghost Rider. It was an irresponsible and regretful act, but I was caught in the heat of the moment. I hope you can forgive me.
I started the evening with the best of intentions; the Sunday Night Film Club was scheduled to see Breach, but it was sold out when we got there. We were left with slim pickins, but we agreed that Ghost Rider would, at the least, make us laugh.
And make us laugh it did. Seriously, I could barely contain myself during some of Nicolas Cage’s serious lines. I mean, I KNEW it would be bad, but this movie reached previously unknown levels of wretch. It’s hard enough to watch Nicolas Cage in a GOOD movie, but this? This was just kind of sad. And Peter Fonda? The goddamn Easy Rider playing Mephistopheles in some low-rent Cage movie? What has become of us, America?
At the moment, Ghost Rider is #1on IMDB’s Tops at the Box Office list. I’ve done a very, very bad thing.

You left the joint having enjoyed yourself. That makes it a good movie. It doesn’t mean it’s quality. I think that’s a given.

Aww… I liked it
I was actually pleasantly surprised, by the whole movie, but by Nicholas cage in particular (that’s how low my expectations of Nicholas cage had been for this). I honestly enjoyed the movie

I especially like the parts where he pointed and said something inane. (posted on LiveJournal)

Don’t worry, you’ll learn as host for the SNFC that sometimes terrible decisions need to be made..
Christ, we saw “Hannibal Rising” last week.

Were you a fan of the comic at all? I really questioned the descision of Marvel to make this movie ahead of other stronger draw comic titles. I never liked this comic. I thought it was pretty weak. I’d much prefer to see an Avenger’s. Hell I would have prefered Thor.
That being said I will probably see it despite your grave warnings. However I won’t give it box office money I will wait til it comes on the movie channels.
