Hate Watching with Dan and Tony

Avatar is the most beautiful video game ever made, sadly they thought they could make more money releasing it as a bad movie instead. So they did that and made lots of money. But as a movie it is pretty thin, the writing is think, the story is thin, the acting is thin, etc. But as a sumptuous beautiful video game world, it is second to none, even all these years later. It is about a guy who becomes an alien and does it better than all of them so he leads them against the humans and wins. Yeah, right, sure.....

Hate Watching is the show that takes the time to take time.

This movie is exactly what you think it is. An almost classic movie from 1991 with Mickey Roarke being Mickey and Don Johnson wondering why he isn't the biggest star in the world. It starts strong establishing these rebel characters in a slightly future world. Then come badly paced action scenes and villains that mostly just stand there and shoot guns. At least Don J. looks good throughout.

Hate Watching is the show that is like a time machine but much more disappointing.

Well summer came to Southern California this week and we are getting destroyed. Rolling blackouts, unprecedented temps, its hell on earth! And we are still here watching terrible movies. Sometimes you have to do what you know. Not that we know what we are doing. We didn't go to film school, Tony is an actor and I'm an artist. But we've grown up on media, it's in our brains, it rules our lives, help, help. The good news is that there is plenty of good stuff to watch when the bad movies end.

This movie is not unlike a made for TV movie in the 1980's. It looks cheap, its poorly written and acted and pretty much terrible. But it does have line dancing in it.

Hate Watching is the show that won't let you forget.

My wife likes murder shows. I sometimes like murder shows. So a lot of time I am on the laptop and I just get bits of murder shows and it is a lot. Lots of people do a lot of terrible things. I'd rather be watching people solve ridiculously expensive puzzle boxes or make tiny dioramas of cowboys killing monsters. The internet is a glorious thing. Packed with a little bit of everything for everyone. Smile.

Will Smith used to be considered the most charming guy in Hollywood. He launched Blockbuster movies but also did ones where he played the common man. Then he made this piece garbage. He wrote the story and brought this film into the world and it is a giant mess of nutty attitudes and senseless uninspired action scenes. But the most amazing thing he did was maybe give us a peek into who he thinks he is. He plays a charmless monster of a father who forces his kid to overcome obstacles to save his character's life. Never once caring about the kid. And by the end of the movie he has not changed, he still thinks he did this right. It is a terrifying look at how he thinks a family should work. And he also found a way to make this movie phenomenally boring.  Good job Will.

Hate Watching is the show that opens the wounds and pours in the salt.

What is an artists duty? Probably nothing for the most of us that exist on the outskirts of fame. What is the duty of the artist with Fame? There is no duty but it is a platform that affords the artist a chance to do something good. It is lens that can reveal the good and bad of the world. It is a chance to talk about the human experience to large audience. But in a lot of cases, it is a chance to speak your truth. And in some cases, that truth is terrifying built on aberrant beliefs. Most of us spend our lives carefully curating what we say. But a few people with artistic voices go off and speak their darkest secrets not realizing that the world is happy to tear them down from their throne of fame and throw them in the gutter. What the world gives, it can just as easily take away...

This movie has been joke from the day it came out and for good reason. John Travolta's alien antagonist int he movie is laughable, his dialog is terrible and his delivery is unironically comical. The plot is filled with holes and the direction is beyond a mess. But this is one of those movies that you can spend your time laughing at, you can revel in the stupidity. It is a thing you can do to try to survive its stupidity.

Hate Watching takes down the easy game.

I guess they just rereleased ET on Imax.  I saw photos of people taking their full size ETs to the showings and buying them seats. Never has Hollywood been happier then the point where fans will buy tickets for inanimate objects. I think it is amazingly cool.  I love when fandoms do their own things. They take over. Sadly they are still beholden to the studios to make them more content but not always. For so long Star Trek fans have written stories and made fan films. Slowly the fans carve out their bits of the worlds they love. Its just gonna get weirder.

This movie is a mess and Hollywood decided to blame the person who's fault it was not - Brenden Fraser.  This movie is a non-emotional corny mess even down to the Looney Tunes TM sound effects. What should have been a man's struggle to return to life from a nightmare world, instead is packed with flat laughs and stupid bits. And we can't even talk about Whoopi Goldberg who is phenomenally terrible.

Hate Watching is the show that is not the go to show.

Been playing a new game on my phone Pikmin Bloom. Its not new to the world but it is new to me. As I walk around I plant flowers and am then rewarded with Pikmin who then go do jobs for me which leads to them getting fruit which I feed to them to get more flowers. Rinse and repeat. But I love it.  Ive got my own little army that follows me around and does what I see. I now why people yearn for power. I have it now and I will never give it up. Until I get bored and move on to the next thing.

Terrible title for goofy little movie from a subset of movies like ET & Gremlins where some youths have an adventure with a short creature.  In this one the creature is a butler that comes back as a ghost and inhabits a robot built to look like the ghost?!?!?!. This movie doesn't make a lot of sense, the main dude is kind of a jerk but it works in its own way. Oh yeah their car is a hearse for no reason.

Hate Watching is the show that shops the VHS bargain bin.

Just got a new rug in the house. It is so nice. Soft. You just want to lay on it. I remember when I was a kid and we got new shag carpet. It was like a dream. I would always lay on it and watch TV. Its funny what made you happy as a kid becomes the things that make you happy as an adult. I went ahead and ordered 2 more rugs for other parts of the house. Let the excitement begin.

yeah this one is bad. Not like worst movie ever but like a bad piece of bubble gum which starts with no flavor and then just makes your jaw hurt as you chew it for a while and then you are happy when you spit it out. People do stuff in it, they go places and it all adds up to nothing. 

Hate Watching is the show that won't let us forget what ha happened in the past.

Tony gets it wrong again. Olympus has Fallen is a fine movie that Tony hates. He hates it because he loves Whitehouse Down. Typical Tony. It's not a great or even a good movie but it has some fun stuff in it. And Gerard Butler kicks ass in it.

Hate Watching is the show where Tony gets it wrong again.

#GerardButler #Olympushasfallen 

Heat Wave. We are in it. Fans are running. A/C is blasting and the world is burning. Ouch. But we are still gonna be here doing our thing. Hopefully someone gets some joy out of this. because that is the thing we do. a little thing, yes but something. Hope you are staying cool. Have a cool soda pop on us (not that we are paying because we can't, we are cheap).

This one is prime Tim Burton beginning to lose all relevance. This movie is about nothing, it has no characters to identify with and some weird lame jokes. And Marky Mark as the star - OUCH!

Hate Watching is the show that holds grudges.

I was gonna talk about Brexit but I'm not going to. Instead I'm gonna talk about he outrage ofver a throwaway joke in the new Thor movie there there is a store in Asgard named Infinity Conez with a big Thanos Glove on the sign.  People are talking about how this is inappropriate because he committed genocide. OMG - this stuff aint real. Nobody really died in the snap. Its a comic book movie. To quote William Shatner "Get a Life." If youre worried about a fictional event in a comic book movie, you need to move on. Its a movie. No one died.  If you did burst into tears when Thanos snapped his fingers, you need to check your priorities. I wept a tear or two when Spiderman died but I had a pretty good idea he'd be back. I didn't call The Hague and ask that they start looking into what Kevin Feige was up to.Its a movie.....
