Topic: Erased from existence

If you had the chance to erase a film from existence, what film would it be...?

Ive got to go with Lost Boys the tribe or Lost Boys the trash as i like to call it. When i first watched it, i was sick in my hand. But a close second goes to Jaws the revenge. I didnt no weather to laugh or cry watching that.. but you have to remember that one was "Personal" no it wasnt, it was mental!

Star Wars.

You heard me, we'd all be better off without the 30 years Lucas rape which followed.

Re: Erased from existence

Drew McWeeny over at nitric.com plays a game similar to this called "Movie God" where he positions two movies, stars, or filmmakers against one another and you, as movie god, have to wipe one out completely from existence.  Not only that, but when you kill something, you are killing any effects on career or culture that come after it.  So if you kill Rocky, for instance, you. Are killing any movie with Stallone in it forever. 

Tomorrow, Wednesday the 21st, I actually appear on Drew's Motion/Captured podcast and I play both Movie God and another game of there's, "Remake This," with Drew and Scott Swan.  According to Drew, I am "pure evil," for my choices.

Ugh.  This again.

I would not be here, if not for Star Wars.  As much as I rightfully bitch about what good ole' MeatBeard has made in the last 20 years, I cannot understate how huge Star Wars was on my life, and I reckon most if your lives as well.  Every time I hear this throw the baby with the bathwater mentality, I just laugh.   If you truly gained more pain from the prequels than joy from the OT, then you deserve what you get.  For my money, George made 3 SW movies I like, and 3 I didn't.  George's filmography from here on out could be special special editions of the OT where he digitally adds himself in the movie, wearing a Jimmy Carter mask and buttfucking every character on screen, every time they're on camera, and I STILL wouldn't get rid of Star Wars.

Re: Erased from existence

I don't mean to sound like a pretentious ass, but I honestly wouldn't want to eliminate any film. That isn't to say that some films don't deserve it, but I have a soft spot for bad movies as well. Every film has it's place in the world.

I wrote that post, and I was about to hit Submit before I remembered The Last Airbender. Fuck that movie.

Anyway, could we just wipe out George Lucas after he sold Pixar in 1986?

The best I can say of it is that its existence led Dorkman to write a blog about the two Avatars, which brought the TV series to my attention. And eternal admiration.

Re: Erased from existence

I would erase the first "________ Movie", whichever it was.  (Scary, I think?).  If that would prevent the existence of the umpteen others that followed, then Western civilization would actually be improved. 

Sure, plenty of braindead, utterly useless movies have been made by major studios, but the "_____ Movie" series lowered that bar farther than previously seemed possible.

Re: Erased from existence

The first Scary Movie was fun and harmless, but I cannot defend the bile that spewed from that franchises stinkhole.
