Movies That I DON'T LIKE/Movies That I HATE/Movie That I Won't WATCH

[Starling]

+1

and dont forget the donkey witch.

He was wonderful in Ferris and Election (He should have been nominated along with Witherspoon for this one)....that's all I got haha

[Starling]

For me, it's usually actors I avoid more than genres. 
I hate Adam Sandler.  Can't stand Will Smith.  I also don't enjoy Bullock very much....gritted my teeth through Gravity and kept imagining a better, more intelligent actress in the part (Blanchett!!!). 
Oh, I also can't stand Anne Hathaway, but I rather enjoyed her take on Catwoman, I mean, she was no Pheiffer, but it could have been much worse.
And Matthew McCanahehey or however you spell his name haha.
Oh and Natalie Portman.  Gorgeous creature that she is, she is a lousy actress (although decent in Black Swan).

[Mirosae]

And Matthew McCanahehey or however you spell his name haha.

Hahaha

He is gorgeous and I do think he is a great actor too

[brude]

I also don't enjoy Bullock very much....

Yah, can't do Bullock films either.

Or Scary Movies 1-15 (?)
Any Hellraiser after the first two.
ALL Leprechaun films.
Anything involving Herschel Gordon Lewis (Blood Feast, 2000 Maniacs, etc.)
All Madea/Tyler Perry movies.

Did I mention Woody Allen?
(I know I did, but I just want to reinforce my disdain for this creep and his awful films)

Dino DeLaurentis' Kong.
Superman III (and IV)
Batman and Robin and Batman Forever.
The Goonies (yes, I'll catch heat for this one)
Top Gun
Battlefield Earth

...more to come...

[Starling]

I'm surprised you don't like any Allen films.  Yes, he is morally repugnant, but much like Polanski (who I also think did some hideous/unforgivable things in his personal life) I think they made some iconic and important works of art.  I've long ago come to realize that awful human beings can make beautiful art, and that good and decent humans can make some of the worst dreck out there.  Maybe Michael Bay is a good human being?

SO, you really don't like:
Annie Hall
Manhattan
Hannah and her Sisters
Zelig
Purple Rose of Cairo
Radio Days
Husbands and Wives


These are iconic films, no?  Yeah, his stick is worn thread-bare now, but I believe he may have perfected it

[brude]

Actually, it isn't Allen's personal life that steers me away from his films, its the redundancy of his writing.
Much like Tarantino.
Now, while I can't stand Polanski personally, I enjoy all of his films.
I just make sure that I don't spend a nickel watching them.
 

[Mirosae]

^ Fair enough. I will only rescue this Allen film. Don't know why 

[brude]

I must admit that I did like Zelig and Shadows and Fog.

And I should also amend my 'redundancy' statement to read "I find them redundant."
Most others do not.
 

[eatbrie]

I don't watch...
Anything dealing with cancer (life is too short).
Anything with SJP, Lopez or Diaz (hell on Earth).
Anything directed by Ratman, M. Night or McG.
Anything silent or prior 1935 (except Chaplin).

And I couldn't disagree more about Portman, Bullock, post Connery Bond, 80s Broderick, Star Wars (first 3), Hunger Games, Ordinary People, Tarantino, Titanic and most of all Nouvelle Vague (nothing better than Truffaut and Godard) and Allen (a genius).

Same here.
I'll build upon it by saying any film about any terminal disease.
Except zombie viruses, vampirism and lycanthropy.
They is cool.
 

[Starling]

Seriously, what has Portman been good in? Awful in Star Wars, Other Boleyn, Hesher, Closer (Still shocked she was nominated, I thought Roberts acted her off the screen) SO BAD in Brothers.  I can't think of anything besides MAYBE Black Swan.  She is an awful, wooden actress who happens to be gorgeous.  Which, to be honest, IS half the battle. 

At least Diaz was excellent in a few films (Something about Mary, Being John Malkovich, Vanilla Sky)

Bullock I don't think is an awful actress, but I just am not really into the rom-com genre, and she seems to have lived there for the past decade. 

[Starling]

I agree about Lopez.  I will give her Out of Sight, but everything else she has done has been VILE.  Really, she is not an actress.

Leon, Garden State, V for Vendetta, Goya's Ghosts, Brothers, Black Swan, and yes, Closer.

And don't forget Queen Amidablah.

Its blanket drivel like this that drives me nuts.
Cranky old bastard kvetching like crazy.

In all honesty I've seen all their movies, enjoyed all their films and always gone back for more.
Always have, always will.
A slave to the cinema.
Like all of us.

This is just a senseless bitch thread.
Chime on.

Porn

WHAT?

I LOVE PORN!!!  PORN IS THE BEST.  PORN PORN PORN!!!  Porn with the wife, porn without the wife, porn is life.

How can you not love PORN?

T

[Ari]

I fail to see anything enjoyable about watching or looking at porn.
At best it's boring at worst it's offensive.

I used to have a cut version of deep throat, all hard scenes edited out, and I didn't mind that, the story and production values were pretty nifty.

But really, watching other people have sex holds zero interest to me.
