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.

I'm with you on all that.

Honestly, I think his best performance was that Mr. Brooks deal. In my opinion, he was excellent in that role.

He's an odd duck, though. Did I ever tell you guys about the absolute fiasco that was his first country/western singing performance at the Grand Ol' Opry? Jesus wept that day, I tell you. And so did his band members.

It could have been Citizen Kane and I would have hated it after that storm scene.

I thought Waterworld sucked pretty badly. I don't care if cost a dollar to make, I just didn't like it. I read The Postman and enjoyed the book well enough. I've been meaning to get around to watching the movie.

As i mentioned before, thats the best thing about it. They actually went out to Hawaii, built sets, and filmed on real water. It looks great.

If it were made today, the water and sets would be all CGI and Dennis Hopper would be Motion Captured.

The other thing that plays into Waterworld's reputation besides the budget was Costner was supposedly Mr. Dances With Wolves Wunderkind at the time.

Tin Cup was a solid enough movie; I'll watch it if its on.

The little girl in Waterworld ended up being pretty cute in a Laura Linney sort of way; she fluctuates with her weight, though. She was the girl with the weird ponytail thing in Napoleon Dynamite.

And yes, Jeanne Tripplehorn's ass was fantastic. Then again, I think the best scene in Basic Instinct is the one with her, and not any of the ones with Sharon Stone, so it could just be that I have a crush on Jeanne Tripplehorn...

Haha.. what?

Put me in the camp that loved Waterworld, but then again I also loved Mortal Kombat and Starship Troopers, they all came out when I was 11, 12 years old, the childhood sweetspot.

A script that made sense would have helped too.

Honestly I'm baffled by you guys. Waterworld insulted my intelligence when was 12 years old.
