Movies you couldn't even finish.

I was interested in watching the new Elvis film. What was it that you didn't like? Just curious.

I would be curious to hear why Aftersun was a DNF also...

Probably just my mood. I prefer to watch the real Elvis.

Great reviews, but I thought it was a hot mess. Just don’t have the patience to wait 30 minutes or so for something to get going.

Thanks Stirch.

Ghastly woman. Semi-autobiographical. She is unattractive & so is her story.

Tried twice. Couldn't do it.

90 minutes in and I'm checking out. The pace and intensity of every scene is just too much for 3 hours....

I haven't seen the original, but have heard a lot of praise for it. Interesting that you didn't like it. Have you tried the Brooks version?

The few beats after any (admittedly dry) one liner put me off. Like they took it for granted the viewer was already onboard and momentarily paused to let the laughter pass. I probably should have given it time to build up some momentum but just wasn't feeling it.
