From above - I watched the Breaking Dawn Part 2 rifftrax and it was really funny and probably the best they've done.
I do the same thing. I kind of feel like an elitist jerk when I do so, but those movies are ridiculous. I haven't read the books (and won't). I kind of feel the same way about The Hunger Games. I thought the movie was terrible. Better than Twilight, but still pretty awful.I've never done this in the past with any other form of media, but if someone tells me they enjoy Twilight, it literally makes me think that they are a stupider person.
I tried them with Rifftrax and they're just as fucking impossibly shitty to watch. There's that threshold of bad that they can't save.I should watch the Hunger Games Rifftrax but I'm leaning more toward the Transformers Trilogy as I've refused to watch pt 2 and 3.
There are saving graces in Transformers 2 (At least 5 seconds of Optimus/StarScream/MegaTron screentime completely destroys anything Twilight has to offer).Any of the Twilight movies are more watchably terrible than Transformers 2.
It's possible to like bad movies.I liked Hunger Games.

You just told me to cherish her the other week! I can't live my life by your demands anymore, Nick. It's too confusing.Your wife couldn't sit through Ghostbusters?!
Divorce her. She ain't worth it.
I love movies from then for that as well; it made everything feel busy and a part of a larger world.Ghostbusters rocks. It's not just funny, it's well made, too. Good shots, and some really well directed scenes. The scene where the containment unit is shut down and the ghosts begin to invade NYC is very nicely done.
That's another thing. 1970s-1980s movies had a knack for making cities seem alive. That's missing in new movies. NY in Ghostbusters or Superman or Splash feels like NY and not like a sound stage. There are humans and there's smog, and angry people.
My youngest son does that with my oldest. I have to tell him the same thing. -Noone knows, none of us have seen it!-I had a girlfriend that was impossible to watch movies with.
"Who's that?"
"What's he doing that for?"
"What is that?"
IT'S THE FIRST GODDAMN SCENE OF THE MOVIE! I don't know either, I have just as much information as you do. Just watch the movie and I assume we'll find out!
[DOUBLEPOST=1365963027][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, my dad did that when I still lived with my folks. He wouldn't be interested in anything I watched unless he'd happen to be in the room while I was watching it. And of course, he'd never stick around to watch it. But he'd, say, be on the treadmill or just be walking by and watch a bit and just start asking questions like the above. UGH.She just seems to need to be doing something her hands
I have no complaints about Jake, but I hate watching movies with his mom. If she thinks she knows how it will end, she blurts it out! It doesn't matter who did or didn't see something coming; it messes with the experience. The worst thing is that she then looks around the room like a proud baby who just took her first step.I had a girlfriend that was impossible to watch movies with.

NOW YOU MAY LIVE AS A PERSON WHO HAS SEEN TRUTH.Chinatown: It was nice to watch a good movie for a change. Roman Polanski to the rescue twice this year ...
But goddamn, that ending.
I just couldn't believe that happened to him again. And I feel like my wife would've called it 45 minutes earlier when he was in bed with Evelyn telling her about what went on in Chinatown before. I didn't see it coming and the shattered look on his face. Geez.
