Movies you couldn't even finish.

Boogie Nights. It was well made, but it's just so very sexual for a movie that doesn't pass itself off as porn. It felt way different with A Clockwork Orange where sex was heavily criticized, but this feels more like praise and celebration to porn without being porn enough to qualify.



I did not, but I was told beforehand I probably should. Just not willing to prepare myself for a movie by watching an entire season of a TV show. A TV show that I honestly don't think I would have bought into either.



One of my fave movies. Yes, I think he did have a horrid wig.

Wigs are v. tricky. Great strides have been made in women’s wigs (can’t even tell it’s a wig most times), but wigs for men are harder. This is why I like film much more than live theater. At the theater I am so distracted by bad wigs, ill-fitting shoes, etc.
It was interesting when Matt Smith was leaving Doctor Who because he'd had his head shaved for a film. The wig they made for him was really good but stupidly they had to have a comedy moment where the Doctor took it off, revealing that he'd shaved his head because he got bored . In the same episode Karen Gillan's character had a cameo, and Gillan also wore a decent wig due to her, then recent, bald appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Paul McGann's quote about his Doctor Who wig is the funniest. Like Smith, he'd had his head shaved for a role just before filming Who, resulting in a bit of panic when he arrived on set.

"As is usual in these circumstances somebody found a wig in a box. They run a comb through it, stick it on your head"



Kodachrome with Ed Harris.

So predictable and typical. I've seen this kind of drama so many times before done so much better. I don't understand the high marks for this film. I had to gong it after about an hr and 10 mins.



Welcome to the human race...
As far as giving up on movies goes, I don't get why people give up on them after the halfway mark. By that point, you might as well see it through to the end.

Any movie that injects a scene of someone buried alive or at least I skip that scene, which is why I never even attempted to watch the movie 'Buried.' My claustrophobia is beyond unhealthy. I have watched Kill Bill Vol. 2, but when Beatrix is buried alive, I fast forwarded through that whole scene.

I can't stand scenes of people buried alive either.



John Connor,
I did manage to enjoy the Star Trek movie without watching any of the series



Game of Thrones



If a movie is driving you nuts with boredom or frustration, what's not to understand for shutting it off?

People who finish movies they aren't enjoying are just needlessly torturing themselves. Another issue deep rooted, some kind of obsessive trait I'm sure.

Like going into a relationship where red flags are popping up left and right. "well, let me just see this through until the terrible ending since I'm already here."

Obnoxious and stupid.





Interesting (of course) & Snowden is a very articulate pleasant fellow, but I couldn’t watch 2 hours.

Kong: Skull Island (2017)
I'll admit I didn't plan on watching all of this going into it. I just wanted to see some of the cinematography and set building....wasn't too impressed

Speaking for myself, I don't think I can truly judge a movie unless I watch the whole thing and see if it can turn things around. It's a critic mentality - the idea that I can still theoretically get something out of movies I don't necessarily enjoy watching (whether it's working my way through the established film canon or keeping up with the mainstream). If all you're watching for is personal enjoyment, then fine, turn 'em off whenever I guess. At least I can tell the difference between a movie and a relationship.

I did peace out of Sweet Charity earlier today, but that was because it said in the opening credits that it was based off Nights of Cabiria and I decided I'd rather see that first.

Agree with this approach unless I am just gritting my teeth trying to get through something. That rarely happens, but it just so happens that I ren into it this weekend as I attempted to watch...

The Final Destination

(2009, Ellis)



Yes, ladies, I felt the same way.

These films are already a guilty pleasure, each being kind of bad in its own right, but some of them are still enjoyable for their over-the-top silliness. Part 3, for instance, is so over the top and goofy, that I just can't help but like it. Mary Elizabeth Winstead helps, of course.

In ranking the films, the 4th entry is dead last. terrible CGI combined with a brutally bad cast chock full of dumb stereotypes render this DOA from the first frame on. By far the worst opening catastrophe of the bunch, also.

I couldn't make it through this one, and we just moved on the the next entry, which is not only superior, but is in the running for the best of the bunch.

The Favourite (2018)

Pathetic, low brow humor.

I knew I didn't like this after only 5 seconds of listening to the modern toned dialogue. But I stuck it out another 10 minutes, only to see Emma Stone pushed into the mud as a man is masturbating in a crowded carriage. That's suppose to be funny?



@Citizen Rules, I think I told you it’s a daft movie. For some reason, I actually finished it. Worst movie Lanthimos has made & the most hyped & over-rated movie in recent times.

Yeah, you warned me. It was daft alright. I'm really disappointed in big American films in the last 2 years. I'm not saying nothing good hasn't been made, because there has been good stuff, but the great films are far and few between.



Big fan of Christopher Walken and Benicio Del Toro, but having a hard time getting through The Funeral 1996, turned it off twice already, maybe it's a mood thing..



Mean Guns 1997 I thought this might be fun b movie, the plot 100 people given weapons and 6 hours to kill each other until 3 remain, the actors Christopher Lambert, Ice T ..sounds kind of fun right.. wow I had to turn this movie off after less than 10 minutes due to the absolutely dreadful jazz music that doesnt stop and weird dialogue, camera angles... horrible
