BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Ted was nothing special, well unless you were higher than a kite. and like many others we are sick to death of Tom Brady.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Agreed...I though Ted was quite funny. I mean, were folks expecting it to be an enlightening experience? It was crude humor just as the previews and reviews suggested. I enjoy crude humor very much. Dumb & Dumber, and Kingpin are both examples of "stupid" movies that I think are very good. Ted, on the other hand, was dull and painfully unfunny (is that a word?) IMO. The wife and I went to the drive-in to see it and left about 45 minutes into the movie. Tried again to watch it on HBO and couldn't make it through it. Again...just my opinion.
The Poojer Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 that's how i feel...i wasn't expecting a citizen kane...which i frankly have no desire to see. Thought Ted was hilarious, it made me laugh and I would assume Ted 2 will also make me laugh. Agreed...I though Ted was quite funny. I mean, were folks expecting it to be an enlightening experience? It was crude humor just as the previews and reviews suggested.
The Jokeman Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Agreed...I though Ted was quite funny. I mean, were folks expecting it to be an enlightening experience? It was crude humor just as the previews and reviews suggested. The original Ted was a chick flick trying to masquerade it as a guy film with a bunch a filthy jokes which half the time didn't work.
thebandit27 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 The original Ted was a chick flick trying to masquerade it as a guy film with a bunch a filthy jokes which half the time didn't work. Well that settles it...apparently I was wrong and didn't enjoy it OR find it funny. Thanks for clearing that up.
Maury Ballstein Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Count me as pro Ted. Not a classic but tons of laughs. wahlberg makes good movies for the most part.
The Poojer Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 You are never wrong when you give your opinion on something objective as musical or entertainment related events. Personally I was opining that I enjoyed it. Well that settles it...apparently I was wrong and didn't enjoy it OR find it funny. Thanks for clearing that up.
section122 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 He is a great actor....but Ted was painful to watch him act in. Now Contraband...that's classic Wahlberg. Contraband was so terribly painfully obvious. I pegged that ending very early in the film. I enjoy Wahlberg a great deal. Fear was a very good movie and Shooter was phenomenal. However he can have a stinker here and there. Pain and Gain was absolutely terrible imo. I enjoy crude humor very much. Dumb & Dumber, and Kingpin are both examples of "stupid" movies that I think are very good. Ted, on the other hand, was dull and painfully unfunny (is that a word?) IMO. The wife and I went to the drive-in to see it and left about 45 minutes into the movie. Tried again to watch it on HBO and couldn't make it through it. Again...just my opinion. I know this is your opinion so I won;t press to hard with this but.... The movies you quoted are over 20 years old. I would be willing to be you were in your 20s or younger when they came out. When that type of humor would be appealing to you. Now that you are older, your tastes have changed and "dumb" funny isn't as good to you anymore. I would bet if you asked your parents when kingpin or Dumb and Dumber came out they would have thought they were terrible much like you do with Ted. The target audience isn't older people it is teens and early 20s which I don't believe (guessing) you fall in.
buffaloboyinATL Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Was the glow from his polished member?If it glowed from polishing, I would be able to guide ships to safe harbor at night with mine...

I'm only 35 dude, and I still have a sense humor. Seriously?!
section122 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Wait. Are you telling me I didn't like Ted because I'm old? I'm only 35 dude, and I still have a sense humor. Seriously?! No I'm not. What I'm saying is your sense of humor at 35 is probably much different than it was at 15.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 No I'm not. What I'm saying is your sense of humor at 35 is probably much different than it was at 15. You might be surprised. Just ask my wife...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 If it glowed from polishing, I would be able to guide ships to safe harbor at night with mine... LOL ------------- 2 strangers in the night?
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 If you like Family Guy, with crude random humor, you'll like Ted.
Acantha Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Worst movie of Mark Wahlbergs career. Boston should be embarrassed. great movie, I really liked Shooter, Lone Survivor and Fighter, I don't think there is a movie of his that I have seen that I didn't like.You guys haven't seen The Happening, have you?
Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 You guys haven't seen The Happening, have you? no
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 You guys haven't seen The Happening, have you? M Night Shamalama-ding-dong It wasn't good...wasn't bad.
Acantha Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 M Night Shamalama-ding-dong It wasn't good...wasn't bad. Man, I can't agree with that! I like most of his movies (even when most people trash them), but I thought The Happening was the worst acted movie I've seen in a very long time. Especially surprising given that I don't mind Wahlberg and tend to like Deschanel. Add in a ridiculous plot and I was shocked at how much I didn't like that movie!
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Man, I can't agree with that! I like most of his movies (even when most people trash them), but I thought The Happening was the worst acted movie I've seen in a very long time. Especially surprising given that I don't mind Wahlberg and tend to like Deschanel. Add in a ridiculous plot and I was shocked at how much I didn't like that movie! I saw it in the theater. I recall being disappointed, but not angry disappointed. I think the scene where that guy ran over his own head made it worth the price of admission....haha.
