DDM's Most Overrated Movies

This is something else I've been wanting to start up for a little bit. I was really inspired when I was in California this weekend. A few of my Friends, Mike and Steve, were hanging out in my parents garage, just like the good old days. I was a little drunk, but I remember overhearing an intelligent debate over the best Steven Seagal film (they decided they were ALL a tie for first!) of all time. This is coming from Mike, who highly recommended Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, And Steve, who has a VHS copy of Dungeons and Dragons the Movie, somewhere.....Maybe IN his VCR right now!

I'm happy to announce the DDM (death, destruction and mayhem you dullards), Most Overrated Movies.

We're going to start off with a bang. This film won the best picture Oscar! It won Best Actor. It won a ton of other awards. It has it all.......War, History, Bus stops, leg braces, and a floating feather!

It's Gump.....FORREST GUMP!!!!!!!!
This is the movie, that in 1994, took the world by storm. Everybody was saying retarded shit like......
"Stupid is as stupid does"
"Life is like a box of chocolates"
How lame!!!! Nobody even quotes the best line of the movie!!!!
"I think I ruined your roommates bathrobe.."


Come on!!! Don't all stupid, slow people get to ejaculate in some cute girls bath robe???
Don't forget about some of the other characters though????? What about LIEUTENANT DAN???????
He was the most interesting character of the movie, and was OBVIOUSLY played by two different actors.
There was this guy...

Who very CLEARLY has legs........
And this guy......

He must be a method actor or something!!!!
By the way, I found a picture of Lieutenant Dan's stunt double in this movie......

Than of course, the lovely Jenny....
The Jenny who is a coked out, disease ridden, stripper, slut, hippy skank whore....
Her and Forrest are perfect for each other.....



I can't believe Tom Hanks won an Oscar for this shit. All he did was act stupid, wave, smile, and look like this.....

Shit! I can do that! I do it when my wife gives me a list of 3 things to do!!!
Give me 10 mil and a fucking Oscar!!
Seriously though, just because it's overrated, doesn't mean it's bad. Forrest Gump is a good movie, but it sure aint the greatest ever. You don't deserve to be torn apart and bashed if you're a fan of this movie.
HOWEVER.....
It beat 2 of my favorite movies of all time.....
PULP FICTION
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

Now if you try to tell me that FORREST GUMP is better than those, than we'll tangle.

But come on though......

Yer better than that...

  2. Pulp Fiction-not so much. How bout a little "Message in a Bottle" or the "The Notebook" Guess those didn't make your hit list. Well----if you go way back there is of course the family favorite "Old Yeller" Remember it was Travis that shot the family dog.

  3. I'll grant you Shawshank.
    Can't weigh in on Pulp Fiction. The only Tarantino flick I've seen is Inglorious Basterds.
    But c'mon. Princess Bride!! Spinal Tap!!! Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels!!
    Seriously--SPINAL TAP!!!!!!!!!
