Yeah they are in their own subspace of awful, but you get the point, thats the true essence of awful. Its severely miss using the word awful when Training day is called that.


You know what was real real awful, as not not just semi shitty, or below average entertainment, but fail at basically every other scene big time awful, of recent flicks. Max Payne.

Seriously? I know its all subjective an all, but do you know what awful means? Uwe Boll movies was awful, training day certainly wasnt. You might not like it, its not exactly a masterpiece, but awful? come on.

Regardless of whether you liked it or not I hated that movie and the ending was yes, awful.

Most of my friends thought it was a pos movie too

Overrated, not liking it etc, I understand, even if I can disagree (it depends on what you mean with overrated, think its a good flick, nothing more, bit too hyped due to Denzel). But exaggeration like awful just seems misplaced and bit too strong, as in one can find tons of movies thats considerably worse then it, what would one call them, hehe .

I know you would say that before even I typed the above :D


I dont give the Oscars much cred in general, but there is Uwe Boll/and tons of other crap awful, and there is a Movie that gets 13 Oscar nominations and wins 1 kinda awful, doesnt fit :D I get calling it overrated, but awful would tend to speak of unbearably bad.

Racism is a dispicable social construct?
If you feel that way than why would you like Denzel, a known racist.

Ok, the wicker man remake with Nicholas Cage was an awful movie! Nic Cage is an awful actor (except in raising Arizona where he played a dumb hick, so he didn't have to act).

Agree?

Indeed, Wicker man was awful as fuck, shocking movie. I like Nick Cage :D But yeah, he has done alot of awful acting, no fuss quick bucks kinda actor, because he shown has some reasonable acting ability at times. And except lately, it hasnt mattered the level of acting he has held, because of the type of movies and role he done (frivilous entertainment), genre flicks, generally likable that one doesnt analylize, he has his niche.

Deja vu, think I defended him before despite acknowledging how awful he can be anyways :D

P.S Lord of war he was real good :D

I know where he comes from when he said what he did. Even if it was pretty misguided way to approach it for sure.

Known racist is bit rich though :p

P.S I would say no to Julia Roberts sex scene too :stuckup: :D

Its not just that one incident, Mr. Denzel is quite a hypocrite when he claims to be "fighting racism" be picking actors based on their skin color in essence being a racist himself. It's not even his racism that bothers me, but the hypocrisy behind it is just disgusting.

Probably mentioned before, but.. Tropic Thunder. How can a film with Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr and Ben Stiller be that dull, and not funny at all?!

Waste of time.

"You know WHO I am?! I am the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!"


For that line alone (if not the whole character) the film is not a waste time at all for me :D

All in all, its over the top total spoof/ parody in its style, worth seeing.
