I actually have that one on DVD! It was everything I expected and more!
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A bit of word salad that only sounds as if it should mean something.
Blade Runner. A movie of the novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, (or some such; Philip K. Dick often had clunky titles) would have been a completely different movie. Which would have been welcome, Regardless of the qualities of blade runner, it is an awful PKD adaptation, just taking character names and the basic plot and world setup, and then making up a completely different story, with no regard for, or interest in, what the book is about. It's, to me, disrespectful--ike adapting Kafka and having Gregor Samsa waking up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect because, he offended some voodoo doctor, or was a victim of some proto-nazi genetic experiment, or something.
Plus it doesn't mean anything--just words that R. Scott and co. thought sounded cool.

I do indeed!
Some four years later, looking here and there around IT posts, this:
I agree. I don't like this movie either.

Nukie (1987). Yeah sure there's worse titles than this, but I guess you could say that this one's personal. Way back when I was probably 10-12 years old, I don't remember exactly.. anyway, that's not important. The day I was at the VHS rental store, I chose this. Overnight, I went into some kind of flu with a high fever. So I put this on to watch, thinking it would help keep my mind off being sick. As I lay in bed, too sick to move, I witnessed and endured this space turd creature walking around in a jungle and/or desert, constantly saying his own name like DJ Khaled.
As I went in and out of coherency, I kept hearing the strange voice saying "New-key. Neeeeew-Keeeeeey!". I hallucinated several times that Nukie was reaching his arms out to grab me, closer to me each time. Thankfully, I eventually went fully asleep and when I woke, my fever was gone and only peaceful bliss of TV static was on the screen - Nukie was over. As a child, this was horrifying. I've never forgotten it, no matter how much I've tried. As an adult, I can laugh a bit about it now, but wow what an experience and never again!
