The critics have. Or are you one of those people who doesn't realize that they actually watch all of 'em?
Oh,
Soylentgreen, I've seen some turkeys. (Though not yet the one you've named yourself after.) And in another thread, I made the point that, in the end, you actually have to watch the movies you analyze. I've also confessed some fondnesses myself to movies that other people assure me they loathe. (Not as many as my boyfriend, a diehard fan of
Waterworld,
The Postman, and every Chevy Chase movie ever made; he never believes me when I tell him that most other people think his favourites are horrible. Come to think of it, it's his fault that I've seen what I consider the worst movie out of the untold thousands I've seen.) It's just that I'm not much on eye candy. In the long run, it's not my favourite. You'll notice--if you have, as I suspect, been reading my journal--that I just don't watch many action movies. Not my thing.
Actually, I saw
Mindwalk because my best friend insisted. And, you know, it's got Sam Waterston. (Yeah, I know. I have
really weird tastes in actors.) It's a fascinating movie, though it's not really a story as such. However, the fact that it raised as many interesting thoughts as I did made it, if you'll notice, similar in my view to the third
Pirates movie. I'm awfully weird about movies in general, I guess. (And I'm 31.)
