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."

PLUS O-DOG IS IN IT. AND K-UGER.

what chu say about my mama?

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'm sorry for your loss.

The Postman is a much better movie.

Nobody did a bad job in it, I guess, but the whole thing just seemed like a really bad comic book.

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.

waterworld/Postman mashup RIDE POSTMAN! RIDE (pans to a scene with a sea-doo with saddlebags)

Any movie featuring Dennis Hopper as an insane, derelict tanker captain is okay with me.

I didn't think Waterworld was that bad either.

At the time, alot of people thought the Flag waving and patriotsm in The Postman was corny.


Ride Postman......Ride!!!

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.

I liked Waterworld. Everytime someone says paper around my daughter she has to respond "paaaaper".

Valiant 03-07-2012 05:25 PM

Postman nor Waterworld were bad as people say they were..

People love to hate big budgets.. Though they did spend a shitload making waterworld..
