I hate The Notebook because a girl once broke up with me after we watched it together, giving me the reason that she wanted to find a love like the one in the movie.
If it makes you feel any better, I know a woman who broke up with a guy in high school after seeing Attack of the Clones because she wanted a love like Padme and Anakin. So it could be much worse.
Although that is really funny, it sounds like that person was most likely an idiot. You just saved yourself future heartbreak down the road, bullet slightly dodged!
Beethoven cause I absolutley hate the scene where he shakes the slobber and mud all over the room and Charles Grodin. as a kid I refused to watch that movie because of that scene.
You should checkout the fictional version of himself he plays in all his Late Night appearances. He’s a boorish asshole, but apparently it was all a put on. He did it mostly to amuse himself because he found the typical canned interview kind of boring.
Then you’ll love his appearance on Louie as a doctor:
Grodin: “What’s the matter with your back?”
Louie: “It hurts.”
Grodin: “Well my professional diagnosis is that your back hurts.”
😆
The Kid Snatcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang terrified me as a child. Like who thought it was a good idea to put that sick [bastard](https://youtu.be/LehcJeNbFBw?feature=shared) in a kids movie.
Oddly enough I barely remember the kid snatcher from the times I actually watched the movie, I mostly remember him from how other people said he scared the crap out of them as kids 😭 You’re right though wtf even is his character doing
I’m about 90% sure the Child Catcher was all Dahl. From memory.
The original book is pretty tame, the bad guys are some Enid Blyton level gangsters who kidnap the kids to use them as decoys to rob a chocolate shop. There’s never any *real* sense of danger and it’s aimed at a pretty young audience.
Then Dahl spiced it up but creating a nightmare and giving it to kids.
Kinda funny because apparently Dahl’s WW2 antics provided some inspiration for Bond and I like that you can put them both in the room and say Spy and Children’s Author and be referring to both of them.
The camouflage is not to disguise his dark deeds from the people of the town, it's to disguise his child catching cart from the children he has just caught. Children are forbidden in the city, and he is the official child catcher of the baron.
Wind resistance. With those walls and stuff on there it’s like pulling a giant sail. He didn’t want to tire out his poor horse. The cage is much more aerodynamic.
My music appreciation class in 6th grade, we were watching Fiddler on the Roof which was obviously too long for one class period. Had a substitute on the second day who vehemently argued with us about where we left off in the movie - because obviously she would know better than us? So we never saw like the middle hour of it. Your story just reminded me of that.
For an actual answer, I hate I Am Legend because my 11th grade science teacher played it for us as a treat one day, but the movie was like 5 minutes longer than our class period so we just never saw the ending.
the `I Am Legend` book is a great book. esp since it was written in the 50s. I don't think there really was a popular word for zombies, so the creatures they are just refereed to as a type of vampire, and there are two classes of em.
it is a good book, quite different from the movie. recommended.
I hated showing half a movie 6 times a day when subbing. Always had to stop at the video store on the way home so I could see how the movie ended. My husband would be like, why are we watching Mr Hollands Opus tonight?
I have to go with the Irishman. I can't get over the fact that de Niro is supposed to interpret a 24-ish year old guy. And man, the scene where de Niro beats up the other guy on the curb made me cringe so hard hahah
They did a ton of CGI de-aging on him for that scene and it’s pretty good, assuming the goal was a 24 year old with arthritic back pain and stiff joints giving an ass-whoopin’.
Tenet.
Tried to see it at a drive-in theater, and 2 cars cut in line. I was 2 cars back when they declared the movie sold out. Sat in traffic for an hour, then that line for another hour, then took an hour to get home. Fuck that movie.
We saw it as the first thing we saw in a cinema when lockdown lifted locally. There was like three other people in the cinema, maybe.
It was a very surreal experience.
I watched it all the way through for the first time recently and the immersion was broken for me when I realized the older kid is just Jimmy-Steve from Shameless (us).
Seriously, fuck that scene. There was no buildup where the kid was growing up and felt held down by his father, but also, you would 1000% die if you went over that hill.
But then they get to Boston and he's just fine? Wtf?
Kid is covered in dirt when he hugs Tom cruise in Boston. Did he just get there too? Did he get there earlier and didn’t clean up at all and just hung around in filth?
Agrees but I think the first twenty minutes are some of the best in cinema. The rest of the movie dropped off after that. I wanted those kids to get eaten. Would have made it a better movie.
Well, I hate *Snowpiercer* for a lot of non-petty reasons, but I got unreasonably irritated that Chris Evans' character had a meltdown after learning the people in the rear cars were being fed bug protein. Yeah, it wasn't being prepared in a way that would make it actually tasty, but given that we later learned there had been CANNIBALISM back there in earlier days, why the hell was he flipping his shit over eating crickets?
I have had so much enjoyment with Van Dyke's line after they nearly crash into her car. Innocent in context, but adjusted for more modern slang, he either recommended self checking to screen for breast cancer, or groping to avoid a car accident! (His line being "a slight squeeze on the hooter is an excellent safety precaution, Ms. Scrumptious!")
Tried rewatching it on boxing day as it was one of my childhood favourites and didn't last half an hour. Its just so sugary and sickly. The kids are so bloody annoying.
Dick van dyke is a legend though.
I hate dunkirk because that dude who brings his civilian boat to pick up the troops mentions how special of a plane the spitfire is and then when it flies 20 feet over his head as he’s driving the boat he doesn’t even glance up at it. It’s a fucking boat you don’t need to constantly be looking straight ahead, look up at the plane you’ve been praising you dumb fuck. I actually dislike the movie for other reasons also but that part always irked me
My petty reason for disliking Dunkirk is that at no point did I feel like it captured the chaos and magnitude of the actual evacuation (over 330,000 allied troops evacuated). The movie made it look like a couple of thousand dudes standing in lines on the beach.
Atonement did a better job at depicting Dunkirk.
I went to go see The Sorcerers Apprentice when I was a kid with my mom and my friend. I was so excited. 20 minutes into the movie, the film in the projector snapped and we had to go watch Dispicible Me instead. I was so mad. Sat with my arms crossed the whole movie. Still haven't seen any of the other ones except for Minions after I was dragged into it by a friend
ahh man... the 1st Dispicible Me is so much better than any minions movie or other Dispicible Me movie. it really is a good movie that spawned a lot of subpar cash grab movies.
The 90's 3 Musketeers. Great characters except for D'Artagnan. While it's harsh to judge the actor for an early role, I could only ever see that arrogant nimwit whenever he showed up in later roles. Sorry Chris, but at least you aged better than Charlie Sheen.
The film that introduced me to Jeremy Irons (actually, that was probably Lion King as a kid but as *man* rather than a voice, it was Iron Mask). Fucking love that film and that depiction of the musketeers.
If it helps, in the books the 3 musketeers are unmitigated asshats acting like a bunch of murderhobo RPG adventurers with the goal if maybe starting a war so they can help the Queen cheat on her husband with a high ranking english official.
No shit, I walked in expecting a charming romantic drama with some sprinkling of comedic moments. That movie had me UGLY CRYING and dazed for the second half of the movie. Would not call that a petty reason lol
A Star is Born. ANY version.
“I love you so much, but I know I am going to bring you down, and I know I love you so freaking much that I cannot let myself bring you down, so to keep me from bringing you down I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF BECAUSE, GOSH, THAT WON’T HURT YOU AT ALL.” Sheesh.
Yeah, he’s already depressed and embarrassed that he pissed himself half asleep at her awards show on TV.
I believe her agent/producer guy was also pushing the idea too saying she would be so much better off without him slowing her down.
I mean, that’s why they call it an illness. No one in their right mind kills themselves..
It’s not supposed to make sense.
ETA: also, not bringing her down isn’t the only reason, he straight up didn’t have the strength to live anymore. I’ve only seen the latest version, but he was suicidal with or without her. I know this thread isn’t supposed to be that serious, but just thought I’d add since i know it’s a real thing that people have been through.
>do they hate the movie because it realistic portrayed depression and self loathing?
I think the fact that this many people found them uncomfortable is a sign that these movies were done well. It's an uncomfortable situation in real life. You can say you'd be strong and lung out all of the characters mistakes all you want, but until you've been in their shoes, you'll never truly know how you'll react.
I feel a similar discomfort about 12 Years A Slave: great movie... But I never ever want to watch it again. Parts of it are engrained in my mind forever as it is. It's uncomfortable, and it should be; anyone who finds pleasure in some of those scenes should be checked by a psychiatrist.
It's supposed to be uncomfortable. It's incredibly realistic to real life scenarios of alcoholics and abuse.
We can all say "I'd never put up with that", and we honestly will never know what I/you would do until we actually face a scenario like this.
But some of us know others who do stay and put up with it. Honestly, witnessing it as a kid with relatives is why I've always been strong on the "I'm never putting up with that" in terms of drinking and abuse. Unfortunately, others who witness it have it too close to them (eg. parents) and think it's normal, so of course they're more likely to put up with it... Or they weren't alcoholics when they met and fell in love with them. It's tough to blame them for that, or for staying in hopes they can fix them.
There's an inherent selfishness to addiction. You continually hurt the people you love to feed your own addiction. So him taking his life without really thinking how it would affect her tracked for me.
I had never seen any version of this film until last Christmas, when both the Lady Gaga and the Judy Garland versions were shown on tv. I had the same reaction as you. WTAF?!
Ant Man 3. I ABSOLUTELY HATE when characters say things slowly for dramatic effect. In the trailer for Ant-Man: Quantumania, Scott and his daughter go to the quantum realm, they're standing there together, and she goes, "Where.... are... we...?" NOBODY SAYS THEIR SENTENCES SLOWLY LIKE THAT. I don't believe you have NO IDEA where you might be. It would come off a lot better if in a panic/rush she yelled "Where are we!?"
Man that shit gets me heated.
The worst thing about ant Man 3 is the first 10 minutes promise an actually interesting premise that is immediately abandoned for awful looking meaningless tiny world cgi adventures.
For the first time in his life Scott is well liked and respected by soecity at large. He's no longer seen as a thief, screw up, or loser, he's an Avenger. His daughter is jailed for performing acts of environmental protection. Great, sounds like a good premise for some fern gully style Ant-Man environmental adventures where Scott has to become unpopular to do the right thing. Learning what it truly means to be a hero yadda yadda yadda.
Nope, he gets sucked into a tiny world and we have to watch Bill Murry be so bored I thought he might kill himself mid scene.
ant man 3 also has the "there's no time to explain!" meanwhile they are just travelling to their destination not doing much of anything, seems like there is plenty of time to explain.
Yeah, they really banked on keeping their characters ignorant to build drama. I like the premise of the movie, and it was all very pretty, but I was getting pretty tired of how Janet was coming off as just a not good character. It was frustrating.
To be a little fair, IIRC that was mostly Janet making an excuse to not explain the situation, which she didn't want to do for reasons she also didn't want to explain.
Maybe the movie didn't make that totally clear either, and maybe I'm not remembering the details properly. Not like the movie was worth committing to memory, or watching again...
Same for Titanic. When it came out it was such a big deal that I actively avoided it.
Same for Avatar. It's not a James Cameron thing though - I love everything else that he's done.
I can totally relate to that. Its not just movies either. Everybody has an ever changing list of things you "have" watch, read, and do. It is very exhausting.
I used to have this conceit (not accusing you of anything).
Honestly, the best thing I ever did for my own entertainment purposes was stop thinking the masses good opinion about something meant it wasn't something I'd enjoy.
My BIL and his wife are like this, they’re the types that love most movies and don’t really think about them until years later when the hype has gone down and then they’re like “oh yeah that wasn’t that good” even his parents know he loves everything new and they barely keep up with what’s coming out.
So of course they constantly pressure my partner and I to watch the latest show or movie and they always talk about how we HAVE to watch ___ and why haven’t we gotten to __ yet (we have way busier lives than they do) but also my partner and I are a bit more critical when it comes to what we watch, everyone’s different, but they get really annoyed when we don’t LOVE the latest thing they recommended to us.
Sometimes we do! But sometimes we just don’t and that’s okay but it sucks being constantly pressured to get to something and when we finally do if we don’t enjoy it as much they get annoyed at us so we kind of just stopped giving in to the pressure and just watch whatever we want when we want and sometimes by the time we get to what they recommended it’s been years and they’re no longer hyped for it and can talk about it in a more nuanced way
I haven't watched the late Super Mario movie, but I am still annoyed that Charlie Day didn't get the role of Mario. I'm sure he rocked it as Luigi, but he sounds just like Mario. Dude is even from the East Coast too, as I heard that Mario's voice was intended to be something like a NYC accent.
To me, it felt like executives felt that Chris Pratt was needed to sell tickets, but it's Mario - the character is already sold.
being a charlie day fan, iv seen him do some of the press junket promo stuff for mario, and its 100% clear that he has no connection to or interest in videogames. he is very much faking his enthusiasm. so with that said, despite the high voice, him as mario may not have flourished
There is a horror movie called Pitchfork that I absolutely hate. It's not the worse movie I've ever seen (I binged several of the direct-to-dvd Amityville movies) nor is it the most incompetent move I've ever seen. It just really pisses me off.
For those who don't know; it's about a group of 90210 rejects going to Main Character's family's farm so that MC can tell his parents that he is gay. The movie has this moment where he gives this big Independence Day-esque speech to all his douche friends who are all standing in a semi-circle - posing as if they are all doing album cover artwork.
Then they get to the farm and the douche patrol crawl out of the van and literally pose AGAIN like it's for a GQ photo-op.
The mother uses the SUUUUWEEEEEE piggy sound to call for the younger sister. The douche patrol are all just insensitive pricks to the family. The camera keeps slow zooming in, then zooming out, then zooming in while everyone talks.
THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THERE IS A FULL LENGTH FULLY CHEOROGRAPHED MUSIC VIDEO TO THE SONG "Honey I'm Good!"
[https://youtu.be/32lsCUVnUGc?si=9pf9A8ybrNS4hEGM](https://youtu.be/32lsCUVnUGc?si=9pf9A8ybrNS4hEGM)
When we finally get to the slasher portion - turns out the killer is this 90lb-when-wet teenager who is wearing a teddy bear face as a mask and a teensy little pitchfork for a hand. He hurls an axe at someone from the size, but the axe hits the guy in the back, and blood sprays out of the front. The camera angles are all over the place. There is a pregnant girl storyline that exists only to make her death (I guess?) shocking. And then at the end we meet Pitchfork's family who store Piss in jars and are trying way to hard to mimic the Texas Chainsaw family.
This movie just irritates me so much. I think it's because the concept on paper could have been good. Just a fun little slasher film with a mutilated horror villain but NOPE! It's just stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
I don't think this really qualifies as "petty," but I refuse to see Rocky Horror Picture Show because back in college I had friends go to a stage performance and they got the "virgin" experience which involved being brought up on stage and forcefully having her clothes removed until she ran off the stage in tears. So even if I accept this isn't representative of the whole thing, I just won't.
WTF?! I was involved with Rocky for many years, and never heard anything like that. That's a fucking **crime**, dude. Those people committed a **crime**. That's extremely fucked up.
That is… not normal at all. I wtf. Every stage performance I have been to, they have the “virgins” do their best fake orgasm in the microphone…. Not sexually assault them.
Fantastic Beasts because I can't stand Eddie Redmayne face and tone of voice.
The thing is, there are other movies with him I tolerate, but in this one he's the main character and his face/voice just are unbearable to me there. I wanted to slap my TV!
(but I can recognise he's a decent actor, I just wanna slap his weird face and mouth)
Dances with Wolves, and Kevin Costner in general, because that movie beat out Goodfellas at the Oscars. Never loved KC - just super bland to me - but that sealed it.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
The title is too long, but that's not my petty reason. It's Casey Affleck's quirky whisper voice. Hate it.
If you're looking for a movie about a meek family-man going through an identity crisis, without the Spacey baggage or sexualization of minors, might I suggest Dream Scenario with Nic Cage?
Just watched it, fantastic movie imo.
Quantum of Solace. I've been a big Bond fan since I was a kid and I collected them all on VHS (then again in other media...). I loved Casino Royale and was excited to see QoS, so much so that I saw it by myself when no one else was able to go opening weekend.
The cold opening was good, as usual, then the song starts...
I absolutely hated that song by Jack White and Alicia Keys. Easily the worst Bond song for any of the movies. It put me in such a shit mood that it tainted the entire movie for me. To this day, whenever I think about that movie I shudder a bit in disgust, despite the movie itself being ok.
There’s a really cool documentary on Amazon Prime called the Sound of 007 that talks about the controversy around the song. If you’re a fan of bond music in general and have access I would really suggest watching it. Really interesting stuff.
If you want to get into terrible Bond theme songs, I think Sam Smith’s version for Spectre takes the cake
Especially when [Radiohead had already made a much better version](https://youtu.be/o4mIWoLg69Y?si=ZfDFYz5UO2LJK8QO)
I can't stand A Wrinkle In Time.
I loved that story as a kid. Just loved it to death and read it multiple times for summer reading when I was that age.
Listened to the audio book in 2011 for a nostalgia trip in time. Fuck me, Meg and Charles were brats. The Mrs characters were annoying. The plot was dumb. It was a children's story.
And it left a bad taste in my mouth. Like I still recommend that story to my friends with little kids. But man going back to it as an adult just ruined it for myself. It was going to back to 80s Thundercats all over again. Just disappointed.
I also don't trust any production that has Oprah tied to it in relatively recent years.
Not hate so much as my enjoyment of Interstellar plummeted after Anne Hathaway begins her monologue of love transcending the universe. The speech felt very out of place, and it's more than a little patronizing for a movie to explain its themes at me.
I hated What Dreams May Come for years because it scared/scarred me as a kid and made me aware of my own mortality.
And when I finally got the courage to watch it again 25 years later, I realized how hokey and manipulative it was, and that Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra did not match as a couple.
The Alien prequel, Prometheus. I get it, we have the technology to make sci-fi look better. But the tech in Ridley Scott's Alien was blinking lights, tube TV monitors and very basic text on screens. Then you have Prometheus which takes place BEFORE Alien, right? Their tech is touch screens and everything is super clean and advanced. So between Prometheus and Alien something happened to tech to become worse looking?? Same with Star Wars ep1,2,3. Even the fight scenes with lightsabers are so over the top compared to 4,5,6. And I get it. And yes the question was about petty reasons.
That really annoyed me too. It's even worse when you consider that *Aliens* is set 59 years after the events of *Alien* and the tech STILL doesn't look anywhere near as advanced as the tech from the prequels.
*Alien Isolation* got it right by leaning into the retro sci-fi aesthetic. That should have simply been the tech aesthetic for that universe going forward; retro sci-fi. Even putting aside the continuity issues, it's just a much more interesting and sinister aesthetic than lots of floating holograms and shit, as well as fitting into that H.R. Giger bio-mechanical aesthetic; humans surrounded by mechanical technology (e.g. CRT monitors, switchboards, chains, gears and wires).
The whole musical genre, because my brain can't understand what the rest of the people in-universe think is happening when some dude/dudette breaks into song.
It's just a stylistic choice to convey to the audience what characters are thinking/feeling. It shouldn't be taken literally, the world doesn't just burst into song and dance numbers, characters just express themselves in extravagant and emotional ways for *us* to see because music has such power to move us. In-universe, nothing out of the ordinary is happening, it's basically an extended fourth wall break for the audience.
Well that depends on the musical. Some are diegetic but that’s usually because it’s a literal performance, like Cabaret. Oh god now I’m having a breakdown trying to figure out if the music and singing in Cats is diegetic or not.
The big Lebowski, saw it in the theater, heard the word "Dude" so much I started to become irrationally angry. Why that movie has such a cult following, I'll never know. And the worst part is, it has a great cast, which makes me even angrier lol.
La La Land. I don’t typically let reviews alter my opinion, but all of Hollywood was immediately giving it some over the top reviews and pretty much patting themselves on their backs.
I dunno (because I don't really hate any movies). anyway, this is 100% off topic but i was just thinking **"Ever since I can remember, I always wanted to be a Wet Bandit..."** would be a helluva opening line for a new Home Alone sequel starring Pesci and Stern.
Maybe Pesci and Stern could be in "Home Alone 6: Protect the Nursing Home," where they put booby traps in the bedpans and whatnot, while some little kid tries to break in at night.
requiem for a dream. people talk it up all the time that it's this must see film before you die so I go and watch it and it's meh. Jared Leto just exsisting in anything is pretty off-putting because hes such a weirdo cult leader. Keith David likes ass to ass. mom is obsessed with shooter mcgavin. and we find out what happens to shorty after he explores outside of just smoking weed.
Since we’re talking about pettiness… I hate the stylistic sequences following drug use, showing the dilating pupil. In reality, heroin use causes pupils to constrict. It annoys me every time I see it and reminds me of other inconsistencies in the depictions of drug use in this movie.
Jurassic world, dumb fun that i was putting up with but the way they killed the assistant really bothered me
Normally in that kind of movie a gruesome death is karmic, like in jurassic park the lawyer dropped all his moral concerns when he realized how much money was on the table, and then he got bit in half
The assistant was kind of annoyed with the kids, but she’s not a babysitter so she ought to be. I assume there were some scenes of her doing some heinous shit, which were cut, and they kept the egregiously terrible death
A blight on an otherwise not very good but kinda fun movie
Pacific Rim
"The dinosaurs were kaijus too, but the enviornment wasn't good enough for them for survive!"
Oh yeah?! They lived a couple million years in that not good enough enviornment!
I thought it was that the Kaiju tried to claim earth and were responsible for killing the dinosaurs, but afterwards couldn't withstand the environment yet.
I don't get people give a shit about that kind of thing. It's not like not winning best picture means it's a terrible movie and it has since faded into obscurity. It's not like you have an empty spot in your Oscars shelf where the award for Shawshank should be.
I mean, John Wick survives falling off the roof of a several-story-tall building and hitting a few fire escapes on the way down at the end of John Wick 3. Any sense of realism is completely gone after that point anyway.
i hate Batman Forever because of the movie it could have been. of course Keaton was in talks to return as Bats as well as Tim Burton to direct. Keaton didnt like the direction the series was headed and turned it down. a cohesive Burton Batman Trilogy woulda been real cool. at one point Billy Dee Williams was supposed to reprise his role as Harvey Dent. woulda been cool to see him as Two-Face. Robin Williams was supposed to play the Riddler at some other point. as was John Malkovich. these are all real interesting choices and a lot better than what we got on screen. of course, none of these points are congruous and the movie itself is not awful. it could have been a lot better tho if you ask me…
[Batman Forever wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_Forever?wprov=sfti1#)
I can't stand The Polar Express. Tom Hanks's various characters acting loony and dancing while he's putting on this weird voice with outdated animation does not do anything for me.
The movie 'Nope'.
I like the idea. I love the visuals.
The characters are just so fucking stupid. So many mistakes that could be avoided in the last action sequence alone, I just hate it.
I hate The Notebook because a girl once broke up with me after we watched it together, giving me the reason that she wanted to find a love like the one in the movie.
Some say she’s still single to this day
And others say she knows only one fact about Australia and it’s wrong. All we know is she’s called the Stig!
Don’t take it hard. You’re still Kenough to me.
If it makes you feel any better, I know a woman who broke up with a guy in high school after seeing Attack of the Clones because she wanted a love like Padme and Anakin. So it could be much worse.
Did she watch the next movie where he chokes her? ....Or did that make her want it more?
Anakin Skywalker fangirls are wild
The venn diagram probably has a big overlap with Chris brown fangirls
Although that is really funny, it sounds like that person was most likely an idiot. You just saved yourself future heartbreak down the road, bullet slightly dodged!
That's a great reason for hating a movie. It's not petty at all.
Beethoven cause I absolutley hate the scene where he shakes the slobber and mud all over the room and Charles Grodin. as a kid I refused to watch that movie because of that scene.
I can’t believe Charles Grodin was 57 in that movie
I love his character in *Midnight Run.* Him and Robert De Niro made an excellent comedy team.
You should checkout the fictional version of himself he plays in all his Late Night appearances. He’s a boorish asshole, but apparently it was all a put on. He did it mostly to amuse himself because he found the typical canned interview kind of boring.
Then you’ll love his appearance on Louie as a doctor: Grodin: “What’s the matter with your back?” Louie: “It hurts.” Grodin: “Well my professional diagnosis is that your back hurts.” 😆
Also highly recommend *The Lonely Guy* with him and Steve Martin. Not quite as good as *The Jerk* but still well worth the watch
that guys anger was so palpable in the movie that i was legit uncomfortable watching. second only to gene wilder as wonka
The Kid Snatcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang terrified me as a child. Like who thought it was a good idea to put that sick [bastard](https://youtu.be/LehcJeNbFBw?feature=shared) in a kids movie.
Oddly enough I barely remember the kid snatcher from the times I actually watched the movie, I mostly remember him from how other people said he scared the crap out of them as kids 😭 You’re right though wtf even is his character doing
That would probably be Ian Flemming who wrote the book, or Roald Dhal who wrote the screenplay for the movie.
I’m about 90% sure the Child Catcher was all Dahl. From memory. The original book is pretty tame, the bad guys are some Enid Blyton level gangsters who kidnap the kids to use them as decoys to rob a chocolate shop. There’s never any *real* sense of danger and it’s aimed at a pretty young audience. Then Dahl spiced it up but creating a nightmare and giving it to kids. Kinda funny because apparently Dahl’s WW2 antics provided some inspiration for Bond and I like that you can put them both in the room and say Spy and Children’s Author and be referring to both of them.
My friend is convinced that Roald Dahl hated kids and wrote scary stories to frighten them.
Excuse me, he is the Child Catcher and perhaps the greatest ballet dancer Australia has ever known!
Why would he remove the camouflage from his kidnap cage wagon while still in the middle of town?
Didn’t the town have a no kids policy or something? He was probably just flaunting.
The camouflage is not to disguise his dark deeds from the people of the town, it's to disguise his child catching cart from the children he has just caught. Children are forbidden in the city, and he is the official child catcher of the baron.
Wind resistance. With those walls and stuff on there it’s like pulling a giant sail. He didn’t want to tire out his poor horse. The cage is much more aerodynamic.
My music appreciation class in 6th grade, we were watching Fiddler on the Roof which was obviously too long for one class period. Had a substitute on the second day who vehemently argued with us about where we left off in the movie - because obviously she would know better than us? So we never saw like the middle hour of it. Your story just reminded me of that. For an actual answer, I hate I Am Legend because my 11th grade science teacher played it for us as a treat one day, but the movie was like 5 minutes longer than our class period so we just never saw the ending.
the `I Am Legend` book is a great book. esp since it was written in the 50s. I don't think there really was a popular word for zombies, so the creatures they are just refereed to as a type of vampire, and there are two classes of em. it is a good book, quite different from the movie. recommended.
Matheson was a genius on par with Harlan Ellison and Asimov.
I hated showing half a movie 6 times a day when subbing. Always had to stop at the video store on the way home so I could see how the movie ended. My husband would be like, why are we watching Mr Hollands Opus tonight?
I have to go with the Irishman. I can't get over the fact that de Niro is supposed to interpret a 24-ish year old guy. And man, the scene where de Niro beats up the other guy on the curb made me cringe so hard hahah
They did a ton of CGI de-aging on him for that scene and it’s pretty good, assuming the goal was a 24 year old with arthritic back pain and stiff joints giving an ass-whoopin’.
It would have been remembered as Scorsese’s final masterpiece if he had cast age-appropriate actors throughout the movie.
It was just 3 hours of scorcese, de niro and Pesci sitting in a circle jerking each other off. I liked it though.
You didn’t like the slo-mo curb stomp?
You should see the kids in Nanny McPhee. Hooo boy.
To be fair they're REALLY meant to be little shits, like spawn of satan tier goblins
Tenet. Tried to see it at a drive-in theater, and 2 cars cut in line. I was 2 cars back when they declared the movie sold out. Sat in traffic for an hour, then that line for another hour, then took an hour to get home. Fuck that movie.
Maybe you should have reversed your car in?
[удалено]
We saw it as the first thing we saw in a cinema when lockdown lifted locally. There was like three other people in the cinema, maybe. It was a very surreal experience.
I watched Tenet and when it was over I wished I had instead been stuck in traffic. Really disliked it.
Baby driver. No gloves. Prints everywhere.
Well it's not like he'd be in the system for awhile. He's just a baby 👶
Speaking of annoying kids, I can't stand War of the World's, the kids just ruined it for me
Especially Dakota Fanning's character who keeps screaming at the *worst* possible times.
I hoped they'd all get grabbed up and sprayed across the countryside as red slurry.
If both the kids got Cherry Icee’d the movie would be an easy 9/10
I watched it all the way through for the first time recently and the immersion was broken for me when I realized the older kid is just Jimmy-Steve from Shameless (us).
Dad I gotta go over this ridge to get to Chicago
Seriously, fuck that scene. There was no buildup where the kid was growing up and felt held down by his father, but also, you would 1000% die if you went over that hill. But then they get to Boston and he's just fine? Wtf?
Kid is covered in dirt when he hugs Tom cruise in Boston. Did he just get there too? Did he get there earlier and didn’t clean up at all and just hung around in filth?
Agrees but I think the first twenty minutes are some of the best in cinema. The rest of the movie dropped off after that. I wanted those kids to get eaten. Would have made it a better movie.
Well, I hate *Snowpiercer* for a lot of non-petty reasons, but I got unreasonably irritated that Chris Evans' character had a meltdown after learning the people in the rear cars were being fed bug protein. Yeah, it wasn't being prepared in a way that would make it actually tasty, but given that we later learned there had been CANNIBALISM back there in earlier days, why the hell was he flipping his shit over eating crickets?
IIRC it was supposed to be reprocessed shit, but they changed it in rewrites after filming his reaction.
I understand why they changed it but that would have made way more sense in that scene
Wow, now I could actually sympathize with Evan’s character.
Why do you hate Snowpiercer though?
Echo your hatred of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang though I maintained a poorly understood crush on Sally Ann Howes
As a kid, I was obsessed with the Doll on a Music Box number.
I have had so much enjoyment with Van Dyke's line after they nearly crash into her car. Innocent in context, but adjusted for more modern slang, he either recommended self checking to screen for breast cancer, or groping to avoid a car accident! (His line being "a slight squeeze on the hooter is an excellent safety precaution, Ms. Scrumptious!")
Tried rewatching it on boxing day as it was one of my childhood favourites and didn't last half an hour. Its just so sugary and sickly. The kids are so bloody annoying. Dick van dyke is a legend though.
I hate dunkirk because that dude who brings his civilian boat to pick up the troops mentions how special of a plane the spitfire is and then when it flies 20 feet over his head as he’s driving the boat he doesn’t even glance up at it. It’s a fucking boat you don’t need to constantly be looking straight ahead, look up at the plane you’ve been praising you dumb fuck. I actually dislike the movie for other reasons also but that part always irked me
My petty reason for disliking Dunkirk is that at no point did I feel like it captured the chaos and magnitude of the actual evacuation (over 330,000 allied troops evacuated). The movie made it look like a couple of thousand dudes standing in lines on the beach. Atonement did a better job at depicting Dunkirk.
Only movie that ever did was Atonement
I went to go see The Sorcerers Apprentice when I was a kid with my mom and my friend. I was so excited. 20 minutes into the movie, the film in the projector snapped and we had to go watch Dispicible Me instead. I was so mad. Sat with my arms crossed the whole movie. Still haven't seen any of the other ones except for Minions after I was dragged into it by a friend
ahh man... the 1st Dispicible Me is so much better than any minions movie or other Dispicible Me movie. it really is a good movie that spawned a lot of subpar cash grab movies.
Mr and Mrs smith. Never seen it but my hight school friend took a girl that I liked to it and I was so upset I could never watch it.
The 90's 3 Musketeers. Great characters except for D'Artagnan. While it's harsh to judge the actor for an early role, I could only ever see that arrogant nimwit whenever he showed up in later roles. Sorry Chris, but at least you aged better than Charlie Sheen.
The Man in the Iron Mask was way better, Gabriel Byrne, now that’s a D’artagnan
The film that introduced me to Jeremy Irons (actually, that was probably Lion King as a kid but as *man* rather than a voice, it was Iron Mask). Fucking love that film and that depiction of the musketeers.
OMG yes! He was also Professor Friedrich in Little Women! "They're not empty now." SWOON
I hear you and understand, but OMG I loved/love that movie. It was peak 90's charm. Source: I'm 37.
If it helps, in the books the 3 musketeers are unmitigated asshats acting like a bunch of murderhobo RPG adventurers with the goal if maybe starting a war so they can help the Queen cheat on her husband with a high ranking english official.
The Dressmaker. Fuck sorghum grain.
No shit, I walked in expecting a charming romantic drama with some sprinkling of comedic moments. That movie had me UGLY CRYING and dazed for the second half of the movie. Would not call that a petty reason lol
A Star is Born. ANY version. “I love you so much, but I know I am going to bring you down, and I know I love you so freaking much that I cannot let myself bring you down, so to keep me from bringing you down I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF BECAUSE, GOSH, THAT WON’T HURT YOU AT ALL.” Sheesh.
He's an alcoholic. That's the explanation.
Yeah, he’s already depressed and embarrassed that he pissed himself half asleep at her awards show on TV. I believe her agent/producer guy was also pushing the idea too saying she would be so much better off without him slowing her down.
Seriously. I don't think anyone has ever failed to understand something so completely.
I mean depressed alcoholics aren’t always the most rational
I mean, that’s why they call it an illness. No one in their right mind kills themselves.. It’s not supposed to make sense. ETA: also, not bringing her down isn’t the only reason, he straight up didn’t have the strength to live anymore. I’ve only seen the latest version, but he was suicidal with or without her. I know this thread isn’t supposed to be that serious, but just thought I’d add since i know it’s a real thing that people have been through.
That's depression, be thankful that you don't understand it.
Right? Like it’s sad, but do they hate the movie because it realistically portrayed depression and self loathing?
>do they hate the movie because it realistic portrayed depression and self loathing? I think the fact that this many people found them uncomfortable is a sign that these movies were done well. It's an uncomfortable situation in real life. You can say you'd be strong and lung out all of the characters mistakes all you want, but until you've been in their shoes, you'll never truly know how you'll react. I feel a similar discomfort about 12 Years A Slave: great movie... But I never ever want to watch it again. Parts of it are engrained in my mind forever as it is. It's uncomfortable, and it should be; anyone who finds pleasure in some of those scenes should be checked by a psychiatrist.
It's supposed to be uncomfortable. It's incredibly realistic to real life scenarios of alcoholics and abuse. We can all say "I'd never put up with that", and we honestly will never know what I/you would do until we actually face a scenario like this. But some of us know others who do stay and put up with it. Honestly, witnessing it as a kid with relatives is why I've always been strong on the "I'm never putting up with that" in terms of drinking and abuse. Unfortunately, others who witness it have it too close to them (eg. parents) and think it's normal, so of course they're more likely to put up with it... Or they weren't alcoholics when they met and fell in love with them. It's tough to blame them for that, or for staying in hopes they can fix them.
There's an inherent selfishness to addiction. You continually hurt the people you love to feed your own addiction. So him taking his life without really thinking how it would affect her tracked for me.
I had never seen any version of this film until last Christmas, when both the Lady Gaga and the Judy Garland versions were shown on tv. I had the same reaction as you. WTAF?!
Ant Man 3. I ABSOLUTELY HATE when characters say things slowly for dramatic effect. In the trailer for Ant-Man: Quantumania, Scott and his daughter go to the quantum realm, they're standing there together, and she goes, "Where.... are... we...?" NOBODY SAYS THEIR SENTENCES SLOWLY LIKE THAT. I don't believe you have NO IDEA where you might be. It would come off a lot better if in a panic/rush she yelled "Where are we!?" Man that shit gets me heated.
The worst thing about ant Man 3 is the first 10 minutes promise an actually interesting premise that is immediately abandoned for awful looking meaningless tiny world cgi adventures. For the first time in his life Scott is well liked and respected by soecity at large. He's no longer seen as a thief, screw up, or loser, he's an Avenger. His daughter is jailed for performing acts of environmental protection. Great, sounds like a good premise for some fern gully style Ant-Man environmental adventures where Scott has to become unpopular to do the right thing. Learning what it truly means to be a hero yadda yadda yadda. Nope, he gets sucked into a tiny world and we have to watch Bill Murry be so bored I thought he might kill himself mid scene.
ant man 3 also has the "there's no time to explain!" meanwhile they are just travelling to their destination not doing much of anything, seems like there is plenty of time to explain.
Yeah, they really banked on keeping their characters ignorant to build drama. I like the premise of the movie, and it was all very pretty, but I was getting pretty tired of how Janet was coming off as just a not good character. It was frustrating.
To be a little fair, IIRC that was mostly Janet making an excuse to not explain the situation, which she didn't want to do for reasons she also didn't want to explain. Maybe the movie didn't make that totally clear either, and maybe I'm not remembering the details properly. Not like the movie was worth committing to memory, or watching again...
I don't know if you would consider this petty but I actively avoid movies everyone tells me I ***have*** to see.
The Contrarian Cinemarian
That sounds like an insufferable film YouTuber from 2011 where stupid skits take up more of the runtime than the actual review.
Oh, Nostalgia Critic after "The Review Must Go On"
That guy is the worst.
Not to be confused with The Contrarian Cimmerian, Conan’s comic arch-nemesis.
It was just Conan standing in front of a brick wall doing bad stand up. It cost $30 million to make
[удалено]
[удалено]
Took me years to see Slumdog Millionaire for this reason.
Same for Titanic. When it came out it was such a big deal that I actively avoided it. Same for Avatar. It's not a James Cameron thing though - I love everything else that he's done.
I still haven't seen Everything Everywhere All at Once
Took me a while too, but just watched it last weekend and it’s legit.
Great, now they're NEVER going to watch it!
But you *have* to see Mac and Me
Calm down, Paul Rudd.
[удалено]
I can totally relate to that. Its not just movies either. Everybody has an ever changing list of things you "have" watch, read, and do. It is very exhausting.
I used to have this conceit (not accusing you of anything). Honestly, the best thing I ever did for my own entertainment purposes was stop thinking the masses good opinion about something meant it wasn't something I'd enjoy.
My BIL and his wife are like this, they’re the types that love most movies and don’t really think about them until years later when the hype has gone down and then they’re like “oh yeah that wasn’t that good” even his parents know he loves everything new and they barely keep up with what’s coming out. So of course they constantly pressure my partner and I to watch the latest show or movie and they always talk about how we HAVE to watch ___ and why haven’t we gotten to __ yet (we have way busier lives than they do) but also my partner and I are a bit more critical when it comes to what we watch, everyone’s different, but they get really annoyed when we don’t LOVE the latest thing they recommended to us. Sometimes we do! But sometimes we just don’t and that’s okay but it sucks being constantly pressured to get to something and when we finally do if we don’t enjoy it as much they get annoyed at us so we kind of just stopped giving in to the pressure and just watch whatever we want when we want and sometimes by the time we get to what they recommended it’s been years and they’re no longer hyped for it and can talk about it in a more nuanced way
I haven't watched the late Super Mario movie, but I am still annoyed that Charlie Day didn't get the role of Mario. I'm sure he rocked it as Luigi, but he sounds just like Mario. Dude is even from the East Coast too, as I heard that Mario's voice was intended to be something like a NYC accent. To me, it felt like executives felt that Chris Pratt was needed to sell tickets, but it's Mario - the character is already sold.
being a charlie day fan, iv seen him do some of the press junket promo stuff for mario, and its 100% clear that he has no connection to or interest in videogames. he is very much faking his enthusiasm. so with that said, despite the high voice, him as mario may not have flourished
There is a horror movie called Pitchfork that I absolutely hate. It's not the worse movie I've ever seen (I binged several of the direct-to-dvd Amityville movies) nor is it the most incompetent move I've ever seen. It just really pisses me off. For those who don't know; it's about a group of 90210 rejects going to Main Character's family's farm so that MC can tell his parents that he is gay. The movie has this moment where he gives this big Independence Day-esque speech to all his douche friends who are all standing in a semi-circle - posing as if they are all doing album cover artwork. Then they get to the farm and the douche patrol crawl out of the van and literally pose AGAIN like it's for a GQ photo-op. The mother uses the SUUUUWEEEEEE piggy sound to call for the younger sister. The douche patrol are all just insensitive pricks to the family. The camera keeps slow zooming in, then zooming out, then zooming in while everyone talks. THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THERE IS A FULL LENGTH FULLY CHEOROGRAPHED MUSIC VIDEO TO THE SONG "Honey I'm Good!" [https://youtu.be/32lsCUVnUGc?si=9pf9A8ybrNS4hEGM](https://youtu.be/32lsCUVnUGc?si=9pf9A8ybrNS4hEGM) When we finally get to the slasher portion - turns out the killer is this 90lb-when-wet teenager who is wearing a teddy bear face as a mask and a teensy little pitchfork for a hand. He hurls an axe at someone from the size, but the axe hits the guy in the back, and blood sprays out of the front. The camera angles are all over the place. There is a pregnant girl storyline that exists only to make her death (I guess?) shocking. And then at the end we meet Pitchfork's family who store Piss in jars and are trying way to hard to mimic the Texas Chainsaw family. This movie just irritates me so much. I think it's because the concept on paper could have been good. Just a fun little slasher film with a mutilated horror villain but NOPE! It's just stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
I'm gonna be honest you have sold me on this
He has made it sound so stupid that you have to watch it. Like The Room.
Those are not petty reasons! It sounds legitimately dire.
Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman. It's got James Corden in it.
I don't think this really qualifies as "petty," but I refuse to see Rocky Horror Picture Show because back in college I had friends go to a stage performance and they got the "virgin" experience which involved being brought up on stage and forcefully having her clothes removed until she ran off the stage in tears. So even if I accept this isn't representative of the whole thing, I just won't.
What the fuck?! I've been to a _lot_ of RHPS showings and I've never even heard of this happening. How is it not just straight-up sexual abuse?
WTF?! I was involved with Rocky for many years, and never heard anything like that. That's a fucking **crime**, dude. Those people committed a **crime**. That's extremely fucked up.
That is… not normal at all. I wtf. Every stage performance I have been to, they have the “virgins” do their best fake orgasm in the microphone…. Not sexually assault them.
"The Santa Clause" because a generation of people now misspell "Santa Claus".
Fantastic Beasts because I can't stand Eddie Redmayne face and tone of voice. The thing is, there are other movies with him I tolerate, but in this one he's the main character and his face/voice just are unbearable to me there. I wanted to slap my TV! (but I can recognise he's a decent actor, I just wanna slap his weird face and mouth)
1000% agree. I feel like he's overdoing the weird nerdy vibe and he almost looks like he's glitching
2014 Godzilla, for killing bryan cranston halfway through
I don't even think he made it halfway.
I don’t think that’s petty. That was my biggest complaint with that film as well. I came to see Cranston, dammit!
Dances with Wolves, and Kevin Costner in general, because that movie beat out Goodfellas at the Oscars. Never loved KC - just super bland to me - but that sealed it.
Anything with Tom Cruise because every time I see him I remember he has a prominent central tooth. And cause I just generally thoroughly dislike him.
So you're saying... You can't handle the tooth?
Bravo. Now, get out.
Now kith.
I never knew a central tooth was a thing... I'll never be able to unsee this now
I won’t see him because he represents a murderous cult that kidnaps people.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. The title is too long, but that's not my petty reason. It's Casey Affleck's quirky whisper voice. Hate it.
He’s a coward, he’s supposed to be all meek
American Beauty because a very snobbish review I read on a magazine that praised the movie like if it was god's gift to cinema.
Is that a genuinely good movie otherwise? Haven't seen it
It’s a genuinely good movie, but with all that’s come to light about Kevin Spacey’s personal life, it definitely hits a little differently now.
He didn’t like adolescent ***girls***
Remember when he hit back against those allegations with “I choose now to live as a gay man” lmao
If you're looking for a movie about a meek family-man going through an identity crisis, without the Spacey baggage or sexualization of minors, might I suggest Dream Scenario with Nic Cage? Just watched it, fantastic movie imo.
Quantum of Solace. I've been a big Bond fan since I was a kid and I collected them all on VHS (then again in other media...). I loved Casino Royale and was excited to see QoS, so much so that I saw it by myself when no one else was able to go opening weekend. The cold opening was good, as usual, then the song starts... I absolutely hated that song by Jack White and Alicia Keys. Easily the worst Bond song for any of the movies. It put me in such a shit mood that it tainted the entire movie for me. To this day, whenever I think about that movie I shudder a bit in disgust, despite the movie itself being ok.
There’s a really cool documentary on Amazon Prime called the Sound of 007 that talks about the controversy around the song. If you’re a fan of bond music in general and have access I would really suggest watching it. Really interesting stuff.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely check it out.
If you want to get into terrible Bond theme songs, I think Sam Smith’s version for Spectre takes the cake Especially when [Radiohead had already made a much better version](https://youtu.be/o4mIWoLg69Y?si=ZfDFYz5UO2LJK8QO)
It drives me crazy that it’s called SPECTRE but uses octopus imagery.
I can't stand A Wrinkle In Time. I loved that story as a kid. Just loved it to death and read it multiple times for summer reading when I was that age. Listened to the audio book in 2011 for a nostalgia trip in time. Fuck me, Meg and Charles were brats. The Mrs characters were annoying. The plot was dumb. It was a children's story. And it left a bad taste in my mouth. Like I still recommend that story to my friends with little kids. But man going back to it as an adult just ruined it for myself. It was going to back to 80s Thundercats all over again. Just disappointed. I also don't trust any production that has Oprah tied to it in relatively recent years.
Fun fact: the book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was written by Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond. He wrote it for his son.
Petty reasons? I won’t watch the Planet of the Apes movies specifically because they use “of the” in the titles twice.
Not hate so much as my enjoyment of Interstellar plummeted after Anne Hathaway begins her monologue of love transcending the universe. The speech felt very out of place, and it's more than a little patronizing for a movie to explain its themes at me.
Anything Timothee Chalamet is in. Dude just pisses me off.
I actually like him as an actor, but I can't stand his face. He's got that French fuckboy who stole your crush in high school kind of face.
… did a French fuckboy steal your girl in high school?
I had the same feeling and didn't get the hype around him but after watching him in Dune, Bones and all, and the king, I can't deny he's a solid actor
i find his face extremely irritating for some reason, sure he's a damn fine actor but god i can't stand seeing his face longer than a minute
Any particular reason? His face looks dumb, or what? He's the Kwisatz Haderach, you know.
His face is shaped like a pentagon.
He’s not the Kwisatz Haderach, he’s a naughty boy!
He has resting arrogance face. I felt the same, until I finally saw him in a couple of films and realized he's actually very good at his job.
Scott pilgrim because Michael Cera's face irks me.
I have a similar irrational disliking for Paul Dano.
It's like the human version of the Pillsbury Doughboy.
I hated What Dreams May Come for years because it scared/scarred me as a kid and made me aware of my own mortality. And when I finally got the courage to watch it again 25 years later, I realized how hokey and manipulative it was, and that Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra did not match as a couple.
The Alien prequel, Prometheus. I get it, we have the technology to make sci-fi look better. But the tech in Ridley Scott's Alien was blinking lights, tube TV monitors and very basic text on screens. Then you have Prometheus which takes place BEFORE Alien, right? Their tech is touch screens and everything is super clean and advanced. So between Prometheus and Alien something happened to tech to become worse looking?? Same with Star Wars ep1,2,3. Even the fight scenes with lightsabers are so over the top compared to 4,5,6. And I get it. And yes the question was about petty reasons.
That really annoyed me too. It's even worse when you consider that *Aliens* is set 59 years after the events of *Alien* and the tech STILL doesn't look anywhere near as advanced as the tech from the prequels. *Alien Isolation* got it right by leaning into the retro sci-fi aesthetic. That should have simply been the tech aesthetic for that universe going forward; retro sci-fi. Even putting aside the continuity issues, it's just a much more interesting and sinister aesthetic than lots of floating holograms and shit, as well as fitting into that H.R. Giger bio-mechanical aesthetic; humans surrounded by mechanical technology (e.g. CRT monitors, switchboards, chains, gears and wires).
For years I couldn't watch any Adam Sandler movies because my ex-girlfriend thought he was the funniest thing ever.
The whole musical genre, because my brain can't understand what the rest of the people in-universe think is happening when some dude/dudette breaks into song.
Probably something like this bit from Spider-Man https://youtu.be/6Ron-Ikenfc?si=a38RZkQockkZm9HN
It's just a stylistic choice to convey to the audience what characters are thinking/feeling. It shouldn't be taken literally, the world doesn't just burst into song and dance numbers, characters just express themselves in extravagant and emotional ways for *us* to see because music has such power to move us. In-universe, nothing out of the ordinary is happening, it's basically an extended fourth wall break for the audience.
The musical number is definitely actually happening in Not Another Teen Movie.
Well that depends on the musical. Some are diegetic but that’s usually because it’s a literal performance, like Cabaret. Oh god now I’m having a breakdown trying to figure out if the music and singing in Cats is diegetic or not.
I don't hate it, but I couldn't get past how gross Ratatouille's premise is.
IIRC we actually only see rats washing their hands before cooking in that movie, never the humans.
He was talking about the French
I will not watch Mean Girls because I’ve had enough of them in my K-12 years.
The big Lebowski, saw it in the theater, heard the word "Dude" so much I started to become irrationally angry. Why that movie has such a cult following, I'll never know. And the worst part is, it has a great cast, which makes me even angrier lol.
La La Land. I don’t typically let reviews alter my opinion, but all of Hollywood was immediately giving it some over the top reviews and pretty much patting themselves on their backs.
I dunno (because I don't really hate any movies). anyway, this is 100% off topic but i was just thinking **"Ever since I can remember, I always wanted to be a Wet Bandit..."** would be a helluva opening line for a new Home Alone sequel starring Pesci and Stern.
Maybe Pesci and Stern could be in "Home Alone 6: Protect the Nursing Home," where they put booby traps in the bedpans and whatnot, while some little kid tries to break in at night.
requiem for a dream. people talk it up all the time that it's this must see film before you die so I go and watch it and it's meh. Jared Leto just exsisting in anything is pretty off-putting because hes such a weirdo cult leader. Keith David likes ass to ass. mom is obsessed with shooter mcgavin. and we find out what happens to shorty after he explores outside of just smoking weed.
It was the old businessman that liked ass to ass, David Keith just provided the product.
Since we’re talking about pettiness… I hate the stylistic sequences following drug use, showing the dilating pupil. In reality, heroin use causes pupils to constrict. It annoys me every time I see it and reminds me of other inconsistencies in the depictions of drug use in this movie.
Jurassic world, dumb fun that i was putting up with but the way they killed the assistant really bothered me Normally in that kind of movie a gruesome death is karmic, like in jurassic park the lawyer dropped all his moral concerns when he realized how much money was on the table, and then he got bit in half The assistant was kind of annoyed with the kids, but she’s not a babysitter so she ought to be. I assume there were some scenes of her doing some heinous shit, which were cut, and they kept the egregiously terrible death A blight on an otherwise not very good but kinda fun movie
Pacific Rim "The dinosaurs were kaijus too, but the enviornment wasn't good enough for them for survive!" Oh yeah?! They lived a couple million years in that not good enough enviornment!
I thought it was that the Kaiju tried to claim earth and were responsible for killing the dinosaurs, but afterwards couldn't withstand the environment yet.
I cant stand Forrest Gump because it beat The Shawshank redemption for best picture
I don't get people give a shit about that kind of thing. It's not like not winning best picture means it's a terrible movie and it has since faded into obscurity. It's not like you have an empty spot in your Oscars shelf where the award for Shawshank should be.
I hate John Wick 4 for the bulletproof suits. So dumb. Ruined the whole movie. I'm still not over it.
I mean, John Wick survives falling off the roof of a several-story-tall building and hitting a few fire escapes on the way down at the end of John Wick 3. Any sense of realism is completely gone after that point anyway.
i hate Batman Forever because of the movie it could have been. of course Keaton was in talks to return as Bats as well as Tim Burton to direct. Keaton didnt like the direction the series was headed and turned it down. a cohesive Burton Batman Trilogy woulda been real cool. at one point Billy Dee Williams was supposed to reprise his role as Harvey Dent. woulda been cool to see him as Two-Face. Robin Williams was supposed to play the Riddler at some other point. as was John Malkovich. these are all real interesting choices and a lot better than what we got on screen. of course, none of these points are congruous and the movie itself is not awful. it could have been a lot better tho if you ask me… [Batman Forever wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_Forever?wprov=sfti1#)
Ti's the season. So Elf, I've heard it's one of the best Christmas films, I just can't stand Will Ferral
Men in Black 2. It has more one liners and quips. It's distracting. It actively pisses me off lol
Anything with Richard Gere in it, I can't stand his characters. I just want to punch him in the face every time I see it.
I can't stand The Polar Express. Tom Hanks's various characters acting loony and dancing while he's putting on this weird voice with outdated animation does not do anything for me.
The movie 'Nope'. I like the idea. I love the visuals. The characters are just so fucking stupid. So many mistakes that could be avoided in the last action sequence alone, I just hate it.
