So...I finally watched Waterworld this weekend
As far as I recall I'd never seen it. And to be honest I'm not sure why I watched it now. Morbid curiosity maybe. It just happened to be on HBO late and night, and it's been panned so badly I thought it was going to be the worst movie of all time. And I gotta admit that after watching it I'm kind of wondering what all the bad buzz was about. I've seen way, way, way worse movies. I can't remember much from 1995, but I'm wondering if it was one of those dogpile instances, where dumping on it was just the hip thing to do. I'm not saying it's a great flick or anything like that, but it was entertaining enough to keep me watching the whole time. I was expecting much worse than I got. Something historically bad rather than marginal.

Waterworld provided us with a couple of good lines.


"He's like a turd that won't flush"

"It does look like shit, and it feels like cold shit."

"Oh Golly Gee, a single tear rolls down my cheek."

it's not terrible, it just got blasted because it ended up going 200 million over budget or something crazy.

It's fine if you don't have any expectations about it.

I didn't find it to be ridiculous at all. A lot of the things that happened in it seemed logical - isolated communities basically surviving at the whim of nomadic raiders. Eventually something sparks them to take a stand.

I think people were expecting Fallout 3 and instead got a simple, no frills survival flick.

This.

The setting of "The Postman" appears to be pretty accurate IMO.

Estimated budget = 175 million

Domestic box office gross = 88 million

The film did recoup it's budget in the worldwide market, but domestically it was a huge disaster.

My wife's Uncle actually built the floating city in Waterworld, so it's always had a special spot in our harts. My wife's uncle and aunt got to meet Costner, and thought he came off as a real jerk.

I liked it before I meet my wife, but I was only 14 when it came out, so basically any movie that showed a woman's nice butt and had things that blew up was ok by me.
