The Most Hated Movie I Love

[mishalak]

I really like David Lynch's Dune. At times it seems like everyone else hates it and likes the Sci-Fi version better. For the life of me I can't figure out why. I wonder if that could be a meme. What movie do you defend when people start saying, "Oh that was the worse ever!"?

Mystery Men c'est le bomb

Hm...maybe I'll watch David's Dune someday. It's been decades.

Mystery Men. Oh, I could go on and on! So I shall!

It was cool to see a piece of Bob Burden's (Flaming Carrot) universe onscreen.

I identify far too strongly with Ben Stiller's impotently enraged character, Mr. Furious, had the hots for Janeane Garofalo's "Baby Bowler", and wanted to hang out at the diner with the Shoveler and the Blue Raja, and visit Tom Waits' Weapons Master.

The whole superhero-as-garage-band take was right on.  I've been in bands that were just as stupid, and lasted about a day, and I've played superheros like that in improv shows.

I was disappointed when there were no Mystery Men action figures. I mean...little plastic Ben Stillers and Janeane Garofalos and Tom Waitses! Damn! Damn!

I'll have to make do with my hand-made Flaming Carrot action figure, from my friend Laura, which is, indeed, beyond cool.

I like Mystery Men as well! It was so much fun, I want to run a gaming campaign like that sometime. "We're not the big name superheroes, we're more like local guys with super powers."
