5 Movies That Were A COMPLETE Waste Of Time:
Life has been busy lately and I am beginning to realize just how precious each minute of my time is to me. Because of this I have become acutely aware of just how much of it I have wasted in the past. In honor of this realization I bring you my new List of 5!
5 Movies that were a COMPLETE waste of Time:
5 Movies that CraezeeDaezee thinks were a COMPLETE waste of time:
1. Spice World. Ok, so I watched Spice World!! Sue me. I couldn’t help myself. I am addicted to both Pop Culture and sugary Pop Music! I fully acknowledge my complete nerdiness and admit that I sing along when the Spice Girls come on my radio in the car. Top of my lungs, too. So, tell me what you want, what you really really want! :) However, even my addiction could not justify the sad SAD waste of a perfectly good hour and half of my life watching the Spice Girls run around almost naked yelling GIRL POWER. For shame.
2. Junior. Arnold Schwarzenegger may have been Mr. Universe, played Conan the Barbarian, the Terminator, and Kindergarten Cop, I could even sort of buy it when he played Danny DeVito’s brother in Twins, but there is NO WAY that I am buying a man giving birth. I don’t care how strong a man he is. As a woman who has given birth and been married to a man for nearly 8 years, I can confidently say that a man would never survive 9 months of pregnancy, morning sickness, swollen limbs and then labor and delivery. Never. Some things are just to much of a stretch for my imagination.
3. It’s Pat: The Movie. I have a soft spot in my heart for all things Saturday Night Live. I grew up watching it. I actually enjoyed the Wayne's World movie with its fun campy humor. I have even chuckled at a few Pat sketches. It’s Pat: The Movie, serious error in judgement. Whoever decided that it would be a good idea to take those uncomfortable Pat sketches and turn them into an hour and a half of uncomfortable BORINGNESS was an idiot. Way to drop the ball Lorne Michaels!
4. Kangaroo Jack. So, my husband and I took our God Daughter to see this movie at the theatre. We paid full price for this one, which at the time was like $6.00 a ticket! I’m not even sure how to express to complete pointlessness of this movie. I am also saddened by the fact that Jerry O’Connell, who I think is very cute and very talented, chose to star in it. I just can’t believe that he thought chasing an animated kangaroo around the Australian outback with a chubby sidekick would be a good career move. I guess I should expect these things from the star of Joe's Apartment. Please, Jerry, stick to television!
5. Cat in the Hat. I went to see this movie because I LOVED How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It was great. I own it. I have watched it too many times to count. Cat in the Hat, not so much. When I watched Jim Carrey in The Grinch, he WAS the Grinch. I didn’t look at him and see his usual over exaggerated acting. I just saw the character. Cat in the Hat, not so much. I seriously cannot think of a bigger waste of my time than watching Mike Myers run around in a cat suit making dirty jokes while Dakota Fanning and that annoying little fat kid that they keep putting in everything chase him. Gah!
5 Movies that PapaBear thinks were a COMPLETE waste of time:
1. Showgirls. Enough said.
2. Zoolander. Don't get me wrong, I love this movie but it really is such a fine waste of two hours of my life that I will never get back but I'm okay with that.
3. Cars. Again, I liked this movie but Paige fell asleep half way through it and for three of us to go see it plus popcorn and drinks it would have only cost me $5 to rent it rather than $35 to go see it.
4. Far and Away. It was that stupid movie with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman about him being Irish or something. Yeah, he looks Irish about as much as she does.
5. Orange County. This movie starred Tom Hanks' son but was so bad that I didn't make it past the first 15 minutes before turning it off and taking it back to Blockbuster.
