"In the water I'm a very skinny lady"
13 films which you couldn't watch all the way through

1. Crank
2. Battlefield Earth
3. Airplane!
4. Matrix Resurrections
5. Bull Durham


The reason? Boredom and bad acting


******Bull Durham. The movie was awful! Boring! The fake southern accents were irritating. None of the cast members sounded convincing. The scene with Robert Wuhl standing in place, rocking side to side while rambling incoherently with chewing tobacco or gum in his mouth made me nauseous! I needed a Dramamine! That's when I walked out of the theater.

A dumb reason: I read the book first and I was offended by how much the movie diverged from it. I'll return to it some day.
