I left the room when my teacher made us watch Juno. That movie was terribad, as far as I'm concerned.
I thought the book was alright, but I have never seen the movie and hope to keep it as such.Aiedail256 said:
OT: For some reason, Finding Nemo (and, to a lesser degree, WALL-E) never quite 'fit' with me, and for the life of me I don't know why.
Don't misunderstand: I LOVED the book; in fact I currently own all three of the books in the series and have read through it all 3 times. And taken by itself, the movie probably wouldn't be nearly as bad either (but still probably lame). It's so horrible only when viewed as an adaptation of the book, mainly because it completely changed or removed tons of important events (for example, the Ra'zac are killed in the movie, while in the books...subject_87 said:

their continued existence is the reason for a major chunk of the third book, the repercussions of which will, in turn, probably be almost central to the fourth book's plot.
Blow-Up 1966
I don't know why that movie gets the praise it does. It like everything wrong with the sixties, everything that Austin Powers made fun of is contained in that one movie.

Same here. but I almost walked out of Public Enemy and M. Night Shyamalan's The Village.Marter said:
Um... scratch that. I did actually stop about 1/2-way through Borat so I could burn my eyes with holy water or something. then I proceeding to fling the disk out the window in hopes I'd never see it again.
Local Hero, I think it was.
It was just... slow. Not bad, but just to slow for my liking. It didn't help that we saw Resident Evil: Afterlife (I don't care what you say, that movie is awesome!) earlier that day.

probably twilight, sis got it on dvd to laugh how bad it was, but i dont agree. its so bad its not even funny, i refused to finish watching it with her. talk about a waste of money.
Tron from 1982. I couldn't sit through the whole thing, and it wasn't because the movie was bad; the movie itself was really cool, but I think I had some kind of weird not-quite-allergic reaction to the special effects; With all the extremely bright, 3D-like colours against a black background, it made me really sick watching it, and I pretty much had to stop before it got worse. Anyone else have the same problem, or is it just me?
The only one I can remember off the top of my head was Mad Max 3. Boring as shit. Actually, I couldn't finish Adventureland either.
Gore-Porn, also known as Gorn. In other words, a movie that appears like a horror movie but is actually a torture flick.
A great example of this is the movie Martyrs which was hailed as fantastic by critics and some of my friends alike. The whole movie is literally about torturing girls in a basement for their whole lives. There is this one scene which feels like 20 minutes. No words are spoken. Just a big guy punching a shackled girl senseless almost the entire time. Oh and the she pees in a bucket.
Don't get me wrong. I love horror films and I love horror games! But it needs to be give and take. The cloud needs to have a silver lining. Like a hero or the hint of a happy ending. Or extreme vengeance on the killers. A movie that makes me want to jump into the film with a gun and shoot the bad guy myself because the 'good' guys are too busy sitting there doing nothing other than getting their hand sawed off is not my idea of fun.

Son Of The Mask, ET (bring on the flame...), Mummy 3 and all those Friday The 13th sequels.
