Babycat Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's based on softfilter's "That's it i quit!" book thread, only this is for movies. Have you ever started to watch a movie, getting about 10 or so minutes into it, getting bored or frustrated or something, and thinking: "Nope! This is awful - can't watch no more!" and you actually reach out to stop the DVD, take it out and put something else in? I did: 'Attack The Block', 2011, and starring Nick Frost and John Boyega (pre 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'). 15 minutes, that's how long I took. Without giving the plot away, 'Attack The Block' is an alien invasion movie set in London, England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Not counting those that I fell asleep in because they were boring? Hmm... The Matrix part 1...first two attempts i fell asleep because I was bored stiff. Third try I just gave up because I was bored stiff. Lord of the Rings part 3...kept walking in and out of the room while others watched. Especially the last thirty minutes was grueling. Had to walk out one last time and stay out. Cry Baby starring Johnny Depp...absolute garbage by John Waters. It's the ONLY movie I've ever walked out of at the cinema. There are tons more I'm sure but those 3 are the stand outs.

I only plowed through it all because I like Jackman. But he had no chance of rescuing that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Dallas buyers club, inception, that RIP movie with Ryan Reynolds Dallas Buyers Club was fantastic! Inception I saw twice, it was OK (Shutter Island was the best Leo film that year...I think it was that year anyway). Ryan Reynolds? Has he ever been a lead in a good film? Actually, has he ever been in a good film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Attack The Block is a good movie, actually. It's a cult classic. Pink Cadillac Couldn't even finish the end of it on HBO months ago. That is the lowest of lows for Eastwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I watched American hustle for 45 minutes and still had no idea wtf was going on so I shut it down. Life's too short to work hard for a movie. A book, maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inception felt slow to me so I fell asleep in the cinema. Yeah, I'm not sure either if I've ever seen Reynolds in a good movie at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie I can think of where I liked both film and Ryan Reynolds is a silly comedy called "Dick." Reynolds has a bit part as a kind of stupid, good looking guy so it works for him. The movie is a Watergate parody that stars Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams and they are fun to watch. It's a little silly but funny if you know anything about Watergate. I was talking about this not too long ago in another thread so I apologize for repeating but my movie I always turn off is 2001: A Space Odyssey. My dad took me at a young age when I knew nothing about the plot or symbolism and it was like watching paint dry. I understand it now but still don't like it! Also Twister. Someone had told me it was an actual good movie. I wanted to walk out badly but my kids wanted to stay, ick. (We have cow!)

Principled Man Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) One soon-to-be-released film that I will not be watching is Deadpool. Just saw the trailer for it in the theater. I have no worries about having to walk out on it. Just by seeing the trailer, I could tell that it's putrid. :boo hiss: :boo hiss: Edited January 24, 2016 by Principled Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first saw it when I was only 9 or 10 or so and liked it even then. Mesmerizing really. I've seen it plenty of times since then too. I CAN easily see how many wouldn't like it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reynolds DOES fit that character though. The main problem is that I dislike the Deadpool character--the epitome of early 90s overly flashy, over the top, forced comedic, comic book writing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Twister: stupid but quotable if you like joss Whedon who punched up the script.2001: have to be in the right mood but generally like to watch.Showgirls: not a good movie but I will watch it...

Mr. Not Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The Amazing Spider Man 2. I think I made it about 5 minutes in? Something like that. In any case, it's the fastest I've dropped any movie. I love the prior trilogy with MaGuire; even SM3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Best thing about the 5 Spidey films was J.K.Simmons. He was perfect. http://geek-news.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/geek/2013/05/Simmons-as-J.-Jonah-Jameson-from-Spider-Man-2.jpghttp://www.comic-covers.com/Marvel/MarvelA-B/AmazingSpider-Man/images/spider-man-025.JPG I'd rate them like this...

fraroc Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think the whole premise of bro comedies like I Love You Man and Role Models to be really stupid. Probably due to the passive-aggressive homophobia in both those movies. I don't find it offensive per se' rather I think its totally stupid and based on really dumb stereotypes. Most of the time, the reason why you don't see the characters have any real male bonding scenes outside of clunky, random dialogue is because of the stupid ass stereotype of gay guys that they think every single close friendship with another male has to turn into them sleeping with each other. And that can't be farther from the truth. I have tons of male friends where the thought of them and I together like that never ever crossed my mind.

I saw previews of them---> the jokes/scenes seemed humorless, so I never even tried watching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
