[QUOTE="Orius, post: 8249875, member: 8863"] Corman doesn't deserve to be compared to the likes of Uwe Boll or even J. J. Abrams! Yeah, the guy's known for B movie cheese, but he gave a lot of actors their first big break. He deserves credit for that at least. Comet is playing this piece of crap right now: [URL unfurl="true"]https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Beowulf1999[/URL] Ok, so that's literary, not historical, but it's still awful. I was wondering what the hell was going on with the old token black guy wearing [I]glasses[/I] and rolling my eyes at the really out of place techno soundtrack. Then I read on TVTropes it's some kind bizarre post-apocalyptic futuristic thing. The hell?! Oh man, this thing is terrible, and it's weighted down with ansty 90s seriousness. Christopher Lambert had a line that went something like "The monster grows tired of the game." Jesus. Do you know how hard it was for me to NOT make a snarky Highlander crack there? I think I'm hearing this weird grinding rumbling noise. Must be Tolkien rolling in his grave. [/QUOTE]
