Good performances in terrible films

It's simply not a terrible film

The upcoming documentary "Finland Gets Vaporized By Hydrogen Bombs", on the other hand... quality

 

I agree it is not a terrible film, but I think that is much because of Clint.

I have told it here before but I have seen a remake of this movie, Missionary Man, starring Dolph Lundgren, where the horses are replaced by motorbikes.

That is a poor film, even though it has nearly the same script. And that is because there is no depth in it.

Eastwood on the other hand is a fantastic actor and because of him the movie is actually pretty good

 

So what was your point, bitch?

 

That there is a great performance in a weak film. Too complicated, elmo?

 

The topic is terrible films, Teppo

 

Think about hockey.

Some of the greatest players ever have played in terrible teams. Housley, Oates, Linden, Joseph, Kapanen, Toskala have almost alone carried their teams near the cup.

So the teams around them have been terrible, even though the result hasn't been (because of the one exceptional individual included).

Pale Rider without Eastwood is a terrible film, he makes it solid with his performance.

Just like it says in the headline, Kid Dynamite

 

Pale Rider was also directed by competent director Clint Eastwood.

C'mon man. Terrible Film...............Good Performance.

Not Good actor, make movie good, grunt, grunt.

"Godfather II" just happened to be a classic because the casting Directors didn't decide to use Jerry Lewis, Jerry Mathers, Henny Youngman, Cheech Marin and George Hamilton in the lead roles.

 

Ugottabe kidding

 

Uh oh, another slow mover

Godfather II had also other great performances, good script, clever point and memorable music. It would have been a great film even with some lesser actor.

Pale Rider had none of those. Simplistic plot, nothing original to say, weak and even ludicrous acting. All it had was Clint and his superb talent

 

Ok, enough with those two trouble-makers, Carlos will take care of them.

Iron Lady was a crappy film even though Streep acted masterfully

 

Which wound up making it a pretty good film and thus a poor choice for the thread, fuuuuuuck

 

Pale Rider is not a terrible film. Also guys don't just drop accomplished actors in mediocre films as the answer...it's not about who the actor is, it's about the performance itself.

 

Gene Hackman in the Poseidon Adventure... impossibly stupid film, utterly ludicrous but he's great

 

Fuckin Finns.
Not worthy of or famous for much so they make shit up.

Shit country, too.

 

Why won't you show us you are man enough to commit suicide? Pretty much all Finns can do that, can you, PUNK?

 

He's got you there, Mustard

Finns are the kings of suicide

 

Loool
Remember when you used to infiltrate the tennis threads proclaiming Jarko Nieminen as some unheralded tennis monster!

 

That's actually a really good shout. She was good in that even though she was portraying an absolute CUNT

 

It's not supposed to be an overly logical film... it's a fuckin disaster movie, not Lawrence of Arabia. The main objective of a disaster film is to be exciting and compelling... which Poseidon Adventure is.

Poseidon Adventure, unlike any other disaster flicks, also features characters you actually give a shit about.

A disaster flick doesn't have to be some Godfather-like work of art.

 

Oh come on, X... the movie is a fucking comedy!

 

I don't see how it's funny. I see how it's exciting as Hell. You're completely full of shit if you tell me TPA isn't super rewatchable.

A disaster movie that's so bad it's funny is The Happening.

TPA is a solid film. Truth be told, one of the best ACTION films of the 70s.

 

BLOODY RIDICULOUS

 

Apart from The Towering Inferno

 

Paul Giamatti in 'Crumb'.
Tim Roth in that awful Burton remake of 'Planet of the Apes'
Jeff Bridges in 'King Kong'.
Charlize Theron in 'The Devil's Advocate'
Al Pacino in "Bobby Deerfield'
Raul Julia in "Moon Over Parador' (in fact Raul Julia was in a lot of shitty films like 'Eyes of Laura Mars' but always delivered good performances)

 

I refuse to watch it and never will, but I imagine Tim Roth probably did a good job in that FIFA propaganda film where he plays Sepp Blatter, purely because he's a really good actor.

 

Chris Burke as Wayne Rooney

 

I wouldn't watch that film if they had dug the dead corpse out of her hole and set it alight for the finale.

MTF

 

Aye, The Poseidon Adventure is a classic disaster flick. Granted, the competition in the genre isn't all that strong, but TPA is one of the best in it.

MTF

 

Poltergeist II: The Other Side



Julian Beck as Rev. Henry Kane... wi’oot this skinny laddie, the film wid be pure mince.

 

If they did that and then wrapped the charred remains in a Tricolor I might at least glance at it
