Movies you HATE
« on: October 26, 2005, 04:35:06 am »
What are some movies you hate?

I mean, really, viscerally respond to in such a strong manner that you walk out of the theater, or stop the DVD, or whatever, but that you vow never to watch or even attempt to watch, ever again? What movies have garnered such strong reaction from this Achehead crowd?

Movies that you avoided don't count: you disliked the idea, you were disgusted by the premise, you were repulsed by the cast; no matter, you can't hate the film without experiencing it.

Not Without My Daughter - I couldn't even finish it, even though I had been told that it finishes happily enough.
A.I. - I can't help but feel that Spielberg destroyed by distortion the original project envisioned by Kubrick.
Spanking the Monkey - Admittedly, I walked into it without the slightest idea of the topic. Gave me nightmares for weeks, and still haunts me.

Matrix Revolutions. What a bloated piece of shit. By the time the 7 minute rave was over, I knew that I could never hate another movie more. I think the thing that really makes me hate it was that my friends all walked out loving it and told me that I didn't get it. There is NOTHING to fuck*ng get.

I remain viscerally repulsed by big chunks of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films -- particularly Gollum, who I fin awkward and inappropriate and... ew, just ew, jesus, what.

Also, The Bicycle Thief made me want to kill myself, and not in a cathartic way.

There are a few films that I absolutely deplore:

Beverly Hills Cop 3
Speed 2: Cruise Control
Rocky V
Stop, or my Mother Will Shoot!
Mr. Deeds (I do sorta like some Adam Sandler movies, though)
Star Trek: Nemesis

Note that most of them are ill-conceived sequels.

Oh, dude, Meet the Parents was fuck*ng cinematic GOLD compared to its sequel, "Meet the Fockers" which landed with a bigger thud than Jim O'Brien did.

Oh, my God. Meet the Fockers sucked SOUR FROG ASS. We saw it last year as a family Christmas outing because there were no other movies available -- my omens of terribleness totally ignored. Ignored, I tell you!

I don't walk out of movies much but that one I did.  It's not that I mind "gross" humor, I just like it; you know, funny.

My dad started watching American Pie on TV while I was in the room on the computer one day. I had to put on headphones. Every time I mention this people react with massive disbelief. Kind of like in HS when I said, "Pulp Fiction was OK" and was ostracized for the next couple weeks.

What About Bob?

I can't believe I watched as much of that as I did, but in the end I had to turn it off, or I'd have punched the TV.

I have a love/hate relationship with Bill Murray.  The guy plays the exact same character in every movie, it just depends on if he's Wild and Crazy Early Bill, or More Demure Thoughtfully Funny Bill.


And I'm with you all on the Meet the Parents front and the American Pie front. (Even if I think Alyson Hannigan is 10 kinds of hot on a stick.. gah, why can't she be in anything me likes?! )

Speaking of Bill Murray - Lost in Translation.  And I was positive I could at least tolerate any movie set in Japan.

Also recently that movie about the guys who are obsessed with wine and a title that made no sense - Sideways, or something like that?

I guess there's a theme here about my lack of tolerance for the fantasies of late middle aged movie-making males.
