I'd say actually the biggest reason the Ghostbuster remake failed was the Feige's style was a mismatch to the original which included a lot more adult wit. I hold out more hope for the return to the original franchise as Jason Reitman is one of the few successful US comedy directors who hasn't gone down the "bro" route with stuff like Thank You For Smoking and Up In The Air. |

I can't stand Heist movies whatsoever. They bore me to tears. Yes, we know that they will succeed; I don't care how clever it is, the ending is known.

i hate propaganda, but i hate even more if it's american show it like it is, i'll love you for it, show me the hungry and poor films where the actors are from my generations and everything looks theatrical and fake, piranha 3d was on tv last night, i had to change the channel once the dialogue started, this isn't really a subject, but it's a pattern, guess it counts for something i don't like romances where they live happily ever after, unless it's shrek or for kids with my age i'm european, i like tragedy and sad endings when movies are supposed to mean something only from tragedy and destruction new things can born, and i'm all into new experiences & perspectives |
Re: Is There As Specific Film Subject That You Just Don't Like?
Buried alive. Can't watch movies where characters are buried alive and they have a lengthy scene of the victim inside the coffin, or buried in rubble, etc. My claustrophobia is at a level that's beyond unhealthy. I could never sleep well in a bunk bed. I feel like I'm in a box......like a coffin.
I assume the movie "Buried Alive" is all about a victim stuck in a coffin or cave or whatever. I don't know, I won't even read the synopsis. It takes less than a nanosecond for me to scroll past that title whenever I see it on one of my streaming channel's movie menus. Just seeing the title gives me the willies. In fact, when I typed the title above, my fingers started trembling on the keyboard. |

Typically don't like fantasies, whimsy and all that.

i don't normally like very old movies, because i don't have a relation on the surface, by the surface, i mean, relate in terms of environment and the character perception of it, the opposite would be, philosophically, physiologically or emotionally even so, i appreciate some of them artistically, like buñuel, tarkosvky, bergman, tarr, ect my taste on music, films, literature and art in general are from artists from lows social hierarchies i'm not a dreamer, and that is reflected on my taste, choices, philosophies and theories maybe that's why i don't like the "american dream" kind of thing... going somewhere on all the movies you'd find on my profile page you'd find this same pattern |
Re: Is There As Specific Film Subject That You Just Don't Like?
I can't think of any movies I like with the supernatural.

I find musical biopic movies to just not be very interesting or compelling whenever I see them, yet everyone seems to love them. I love artists' music, but I just don't think their lives are interesting enough to have a whole epic length movie made about them so far.

The Doors, Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman, Amadeus. I need to see more probably though. Actually Amadeus was better than the rest.

The problem with many of the music bio-pics is that they try to cover a span of time from the very beginning of the celebrity, through their rise to fame and final downfall/ending....and tell that story in only two hours, which is to short of time to tell someone's full life story. A good bio-pic, though not a musical bio pic is Stan & Ollie (2018) Which covers only their last days and not their whole life story. Have you seen it? |

But what an AWFUL and totally inaccurate movie. Nothing worse than someone referencing THAT piece of **** as if it were the truth. |

I typically don't watch horror that focuses on "menacing ghosts" or curses or supernatural monsters. If there are monsters or killers I like seeing a logical explanation for them.
On the other hand, if it is a moreso "fantasy" type of movie, then I don't mind if there are strange or dangerous creatures, but usually they're from another dimension or another world and came to Earth through some kind of portal, etc. That's better than if they're imaginary and viewed through the mind of a creative child (like in Pan's Labyrinth, A Monster Calls, Bridge to Terabithia, etc., even though I did like those ones.) |
I generally don’t like horror comedies. For example I love the original scream which I’d say is mostly horror, really disappointed in the sequels which try to be funnier.
I love scary movie though....that’s full Spoof comedy. |

Westerns...

Trying to cover too much can definitely be an issue as well I'd agree making things unfocused as can falling back to rather bland rags to riches stories. Often the best films tend to deal with characters who have already become successful IMHO, Mr Turner recently for example covering the last years of his life. |
