No, it’s the definition of a boring cliche. Not every screenplay works that way, just most of them. You know, the ones that are uninteresting and that I usually don’t see because they “were definitely NOT intended for me.”
So the majority of movies aren’t for me. Passion of the Christ, slasher movies, plotless action flicks and CGI exercises, grossout comedies, unnecessary remakes, and the new trend - Paul Walker stupid car/motorcycle/vehicle movies.
Bruce Almighty. Jim Carrey overacting. Idiotic plot. Potty jokes(with a dog). This movie pushed all of my bad movie buttons. I’d rather spend two hours in a dentist chair than sit through that movie again. I really despised Bruce. The main thing that drove me crazy was that everyone else I know loved this thing.
You know, despite that stuff I actually found most of it reasonably enjoyable- until they got near the end and kept!beating us!over the head! with the freaking stupid message! The only movie not starring the Spice Girls I’ve ever walked out on.
I just have to agree with a lot of those already mentioned. Those teen slasher flicks are absolutely some of the worst (Whether it be Scream or Friday the 13th).
My wife (then-girlfriend) once made me sit through Scream about five years ago and I never forgave her. It was so jaw-droppingly bad I couldn’t decide if I wanted to sleep through it or drill a hole in my head and make her clean up the mess.
Titanic.
Oh, and most “horror” movies. Not all, but most. “Blair Witch” was the single worst movie I’ve ever seen. I actually fell asleep in the theater.
Hold up a moment here – did you see in the theater or on DVD? 'Cause as a movie, RHPC pretty much sucks. It’s all about the theatre experience – the floor show, the partici…pation, all that. Seeing it at home can’t compare.
Bridget Jones’s(sic) Diary
Just because of the spelling mistake in the name. Crossroads
Just because it has Britney Spears in it. Matrix 3
Because I fell in love with the first one then was ever so disappointed by the 2nd.
And many many others already mentioned.
Robert Altman movies. I know there are plenty of people for whom having Altman’s name attached is a big draw, but for me it’s as big a repellant as if it had Adam Sandler in it. (Altman directing an Adam Sandler movie would be about the most horrible thing I can imagine.)
OMG, yes. I had absolutley NO desire to see this movie. (pretty much any movie with Jim Carey is no intended for me, I loathe him). And then my best friend calls up, sobbing, because she had bought two tickets for her boyfriend right before he turned into a huge asshole over somethign trivial and picked a fight so I was forced to go with her to cheer her up. I still haven’t forgiven her boyfriend for it…
Any movie with a clown [painted white face, humongous mouth, big red feet clowns]… I will not see.
Other movies I will walk away from: any thing with Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Freddy and his ugly buddy Jason… I would rather be at home and washing dishes.
Hmmmm, Thelma and Louise??? They don’t win, they die a horrible fiery death. And they act in a pretty uncommon way, IMHO, for women to act (most women would go the common sense route, and trust the cop who was telling them that he’d help them and that he knew that they’d killed in self defense, etc).
Gone With the Wind, she not only doesn’t get the guy, he tells her he doesn’t give a damn, AND she loses her best friend, and didn’t even realize that she WAS her best friend until the best friend is on her deathbed.
What was that one with Catherine Denuevre and Burt Reynolds?? Not that great a movie, but at any rate, they don’t win, he dies in the end.
“The Way We Were” she loses the guy. AND gets branded a communist. My friends cried their eyes out, I thought “how STUPID, here’s the love of her life and she leaves him because of a political reason???”
