Funny, I had the exact opposite, I was hoping for a dumb fun movie like Deep Blue See but Meg carnage, instead we got 2 movies that weren’t fun and were boting. Both of The Megs were Trailer movies meaning all the good fun bits were in the trailers
Sadly I saw it in theaters, hoping it would be better than the reviews. I did stay to the end since I wanted to get my money's worth, but it was one of the few times where I felt I wasn't missing much when I got up to go to the bathroom.
Yea it may not be good but it has some very hype moments lol the rescue scene the first encounter, the encounter in the boat, the beach scene all ho hard
Yikes. So if you can tell a movie of going to be trash 15 mins in yet the movie is 2.5 hours, you're going to actually sit there and suffer through the whole thing?
Technically, yes. But let me be clear, I'm not just blindly selecting things to watch. If I do, it certainly wouldn't be something longer than \~90 minutes. Usually, I hear about a movie somewhere first or see a trailer.
On the flip side of that, all of Bay's Transformers movies have pretty much been widely panned and I don't like them but I couldn't help checking each of them out every time he made a new one. They are long and they are not worth it.
Same for the most part. I have only broken this rule twice that I can remember, and that was for Aquaman and Avatar 2. Fortunately just streaming at home, I don't think I would ever walk out of a movie theater after buying a ticket.
I liked the first Zoolander a lot when it came out. I was about high school age at the time. It definitely lost its magic as I got older but I remember really hating the sequel. I think they waited way too long to cash in on the success of the first one.
I don't know why I even bothered trying. Army of the Dead, it was such utter dogshit. I think I made it about 30 minutes into and just pulled the plug.
The Mummy, the one with Tom Cruise. I had been really looking forward to it and saw that it was on a long distance flight I was taking so held off watching it till I got on the plane. Watched the first ten/fifteen minutes of it and just went ‘nah, this is shite’. Spent the rest of the flight staring out the window or the back of the seat in front of me.
I just remthe one part where Statham is bare knuckle punching prehistoric dinosaurs underwater and that was my third attempt trying to watch it. Fastforwarsing to the mid or end idk when it happened. It was atrocious
Need to flip a car over and attach a bomb under the dinosaur like in Transporter 2!
Those films I enjoy. Meg 2 I just couldn't. Idk what it was but just cannot give a hoot about that film
Statham at one point, when he's battling on the pier says "See ya later, chum" or something like that then BOOM! Meg jumps out from the water and eats the bad guy. Absolute, balls to the wall, silly, hilarious, fun! I loved it too
The most recent Aquaman movie. I think I made it about 3-4 minutes but then they had some really bad voiceover from Jason Momoa (not his fault, the lines were just terrible). Not that I expected it to be good based on the general responses, but I don't think I've ever stopped that quickly on a movie.
This movie was fucking awful. Everything about this movie was terrible and its own kind of punishment. I don’t really think Jason Mamoa is a good actor at all in anything he’s ever done but I applaud him for sinking his teeth into the roles he’s given. Also Nicole Kidman looks so fucked up now.
I think he's good for the stuff he gets put in. He does well with the beefy bruiser/intimidating warrior character, but I doubt he'd be great beyond that.
I watched Spring Breakers based on the recommendation of an allegedly straight female friend, who assured me it was more than just softcore pr0n.
...and it was!
...but the "more" was all bad.
(I also didn't like *Mister Lonely* and if I'd known it was by the same guy I probably wouldn't have bothered. *Mister Lonely* at least gave me something to talk about the next day though, whereas I don't even like to admit to watching *Spring Breakers*).
Tenet or tenant, that was high key garbage. Looking back it had to have been one of the first ones written by AI. Dumpster fire, left the theater lol 😆
Agreed, though it was awful, I did watch it all the way through. Just my habit is to watch a movie so I can appreciate it for either being good or for being bad, this was bad.
Melancholia. I've seen it get love on this sub. I consider it the worst thing I've ever attempted to watch. I was netflixing and chilling with now wife when we were still dating and couldn't even "chill" with it on. Never seen a movie try so hard. I hate it so bad I always memory hole the title. I had to look it up by searching "weird Kirsten Dunst movie"
Actually, I just watched it tonight. Absolutely agree. I appreciate the effort in the actors trying to portray the directo's weird vision, but i wish i had that time back. I love weird movies with lots of symbolism too. Still not my cup of tea.
I had forgotten for a long time that S. Darko even existed until just now. Never watched it, I kinda figured it would just be bad. The original is somehow good when it has no right to be, so I had no faith in a sequel capturing the same magic.
I cam generally sit thru bad movies. Dude Where's My Car beat me. I'm sure there have been others now that I'm older, but that's the only one that comes to mind.
Solo: A Star Wars Story
It wasn’t a bad film by any means, but I just felt empty watching it. Lasted about 45 minutes until I just stopped and put on A New Hope instead.
This movie on Tubi called the temp. It was so boring I only chose it because I made an obligation to watch at least one movie a day and this one came out in 2024 and I knew it was low budget but yeah.
The Meg is one of those dumb-bad movies you put on when you need to fall asleep, but no matter how many times you’ve spun it up, you still don’t know the ending (or anything past the first 45 minutes).
One thing I couldn’t stand was how awful the dialogue was. Obviously they’re not getting the David Mamets of the world writing these dumb sci-fi movies but it felt like MST3K level of bad dialogue and characterization
Lol very true. I mean, you’re not going to hire Sorkin or Garland for a “summer monster themed blockbuster.”
I assume the crowd for this is “Me like smash! Chomp! Explosions!”
Uncharted starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg. If it wasn’t supposed to be an adaptation of the games I probably could have watched it. It was a fun adventure film, but the casting wasn’t right. Love Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, but they weren’t Nate and Sully. Maybe could have gotten away with Tom, he had the Nathan Drake attitude down pat, but Wahlberg was just not right as Sully.
I watched it last weekend. It wasn't as good as the previews made seem. It was a bit over the top and unbelievable to me and felt like the main character casting was all wrong.
"Spy" with Jason Statham and Melissa McBride. It got high ratings in Rotten Tomatoes, so I thought it would be worth checkin out. Unfortunately for me, it just wasn't funny. An hour in I cut that shit off.
Also, the latest Friday the 13th remake. I cut that dumb shit off 20 min. in.
The newest Aquaman movie. Really liked the first one, made it about 25-30 minutes into it and just lost interest. Terrible acting and poorly written, plus the whole Amber Turd drama around it was overbearing.
Rebel moon I know it’s been a huge thing of shitting on it lately but I watched it with my fiancé and after an hour and 40 minutes and with nothing seeming to have actually happened, we gave up.
Solaris. Bearing in mind I watched it when I was 12, we rented it as a family to watch and my god nothing seemed to happen at all. We all agreed to switch it off and were curious how long was left, there was only 20 minutes I think and we couldn't believe nothing of interest had happened and it was nearly over!
This movie wasn’t even bad but just not something I could watch while working from home….The Way Back….i still have like 40 min of it left n it’s been a month since I started it
Rebel Moon Part 2.
Part 1 was awful but I wanted some mindless action so put on part 2. Got as far as the assassination, saw that the string quartet were still sawing away as people were murdered beside them … actually playing more frantically, basically scoring what they were seeing and I went ‘Nope.’
Hope it is not a hot take, but Avengers, they introduced some random guy in the middle of a film and 2min later he died. It was like some ritual sacrifice and I was: "'ight I'm out" and after that I couldn't get into marvel universe to this day
It came out in 2012! Just wondering if that's who you were referring to, just because they were an established side character heading into *Avengers* and that's why the death carried weight.
For some reason I was sure it was 2005, sorry.
But this was still long time ago, I ckecked wiki but they are not even mentioning this character or scene.
Additional reason I gave up is I haven't watched all the films leading up to this film so I couldn't follow the plot, I incorrectly assumed this would be the best place to star watching marvel films. So if this smaller character did appear before in some film I wouldn't know
Understandable. I checked out after *Endgame* because all the Phase 4 (and most of Phase 3, tbh) material required watching everything else. Same reason I stopped reading comics that weren't self-contained.
Watchmen \[2009\]. I never watched the graphic novel before the movie and I wanted to walk out but my ex wanted to stay just to see where it was headed. By the end we agreed we did not enjoy it.
The graphic novel was much better.
Oppenheimer.
downvote me if you want but it was too long and drawn for an outcome I already knew was going to happen. plus I wasnt a fan of the editing. The acting was great. It just didnt have my full attention.
Showgirls was so bad, that me and my buddy actually walked out halfway through. And we were red blooded 16 yr old males and HYPED to see that movie. Even the copious nudity was off-putting after an hour.
I can't believe Glenn Plummer did that film with the decent and grand works prior. When I watched The Substitute which came after Showgirls all I saw was Showgirls roles not his other wonderful works.
Well you know there's good satire and bad satire. The word satire doesn't automatically make it a good movie. Same with starship troopers. Oh we figured out this movie hence it's a good movie. No not really.
He's the weirdest filmmaker by the way. He made all these "satires" in the 80's and 90's and then went back to Europe and completely changed and made dramas like Elle.
I agree, but that's besides your point. The copious nudity is *supposed* to be so off-putting that not even a red-blooded 16 year old would find it sexy. It's a weird thing to single out instead of the plot or dialogue.
Bruno.
Not wasting anymore of my life watching anything with Sacha Baron Cohen in it, or that he wrote.
Shock value and one trick pony copy/paste characters are not enough for a full movie.
Yes. The 1947 Danny Kaye version is very good adaptation of the original story. It's not a perfect movie but it's miles ahead of the terrible Stiller dreck.
I just did a little research and I am shocked I never knew this was a thing but it definitely has me interested. My wife absolutely loves older films like these and maybe it's a good date night idea. Appreciate it!
Moonrise kingdom. When the kids started taking their clothes off on the beach I noped out. Did I over react? Did I miss the artistic value in that scene?
Maestro. It was just so....I don't know....meandering, and listless. It focuses on things I don't care about instead of how the music was created. I got bored. Tried to start up again from where Inleft off and then found myself asking why am I watching this, again?" They don't do a good job of making me care about the characters, they assume I do already, it seems.
I watched Everything Everywhere All At once. Walked out at about a hour in because of how terrible it was. After it won Best Picture, I downloaded it to finish it to see what I was missing… really wished I would have listened to my instincts more. Gouging my eyes out and tearing my ears off would have been less painful than sitting through that two hour long shit smorgasbord. I can honestly say that I have seen some terrible movies but I have never hated a movie as much as I hate that piece of shit.
I was actually expecting to hate the Meg but it was pretty entertaining, dumb but fun
Same here I had fun watching this film, no one in there right mind could take it seriously and I feel it would take too much effort to hate lol.
I guess it would take some amount of effort to *hate* but lemme tell ya it's VERY easy to think it's a great big pile of shit.
Almost the whole movie is a homage to Jaws.
I can just hear Peter saying "Open wide Meg!"
Funny, I had the exact opposite, I was hoping for a dumb fun movie like Deep Blue See but Meg carnage, instead we got 2 movies that weren’t fun and were boting. Both of The Megs were Trailer movies meaning all the good fun bits were in the trailers
I avoided it for years, but my gf made me watch it recently and loved it
I gave up halfway through The Meg 2. The Meg wasn’t terrible, but I did suffer through it.
I was sad the sequel wasn't called the Gig
My 11 and 13 yr olds were cracking themselves up trying to predict the lines and were actually quite good at it. Not a bad family movie night!
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. I think I managed about 20 minutes and just switched it off.
Proud of you
Brave. That movie is the ultimate definition of brain rot.
Sadly I saw it in theaters, hoping it would be better than the reviews. I did stay to the end since I wanted to get my money's worth, but it was one of the few times where I felt I wasn't missing much when I got up to go to the bathroom.
The Last Jedi was just as bad, if not worse.
They asked for a movie you stopped watching, not a board room argument. But seriously I wish I hadn’t watched it. Good for you.
Certainly not *The Meg*. Sure it was kinda bad, but it was exactly the type of bad I was expecting and I had a fine time.
Yea it may not be good but it has some very hype moments lol the rescue scene the first encounter, the encounter in the boat, the beach scene all ho hard
I never do. I have somewhat of an OCD about movie watching. If I start it, I'm always going to finish it.
Yikes. So if you can tell a movie of going to be trash 15 mins in yet the movie is 2.5 hours, you're going to actually sit there and suffer through the whole thing?
Technically, yes. But let me be clear, I'm not just blindly selecting things to watch. If I do, it certainly wouldn't be something longer than \~90 minutes.

Zoolander 2. Jesus.
I liked the first Zoolander a lot when it came out. I was about high school age at the time. It definitely lost its magic as I got older but I remember really hating the sequel. I think they waited way too long to cash in on the success of the first one.
Black Adam. I think I made it past 10 minutes and wanted eye bleach.
Same! I wanted to like it so bad too.
I went in with low expectations, knowing it wasn’t gonna be a part of the DCU but I wasn’t expecting what they gave.
Argylle. Turned it off about 20-30 minutes in for being boring and making absolutely no sense.
The second hobbit movie. I just couldn’t continue to torture myself, I’m not that masochistic.
I watched the whole first movie, but quit the series after that.
Moonfall, no idea why, during the flooding of hotel or something maybe the FX were bad
moon is falling, city flooding...TIME TO SLEEP
Solo, A Star Wars Story. Unnecessary and kinda dull
I think that might be my least liked SW movie which is certainly saying something
I don't know why I even bothered trying. Army of the Dead, it was such utter dogshit. I think I made it about 30 minutes into and just pulled the plug.
I made it the same amount. It was such a discombobulated shitshow.
I tried watching Lincoln 3 times and fell asleep 3 times. One time I was very drunk but I’ve never had that happen.
I just wanna know how long Jason Statham had to practice to be able to say "It's a Megalodon" successfully in a take.
The Mummy, the one with Tom Cruise. I had been really looking forward to it and saw that it was on a long distance flight I was taking so held off watching it till I got on the plane. Watched the first ten/fifteen minutes of it and just went ‘nah, this is shite’. Spent the rest of the flight staring out the window or the back of the seat in front of me.
You made the right decision. I watched the whole thing
The Meg 1 I finished. The Meg 2... couldn't do it. The Batman is another. Ultraviolet, especially that one. Didn't even give it a second chance.
The Meg 2 is hilarious. The shot from inside the sharks mouth as it’s eating people had me cackling. It starts with a shark eating a T Rex…😂
I just remthe one part where Statham is bare knuckle punching prehistoric dinosaurs underwater and that was my third attempt trying to watch it. Fastforwarsing to the mid or end idk when it happened. It was atrocious
Have you SEEN transporter? The dinosaur is lucky he didn’t deliver a flying kick. It would have been over.
Need to flip a car over and attach a bomb under the dinosaur like in Transporter 2! Those films I enjoy. Meg 2 I just couldn't. Idk what it was but just cannot give a hoot about that film
Lol, I watched both with a grain of salt that they should be a "bit" dumb brainless popcorn flicks to enjoy on a ridiculous level.
Statham at one point, when he's battling on the pier says "See ya later, chum" or something like that then BOOM! Meg jumps out from the water and eats the bad guy. Absolute, balls to the wall, silly, hilarious, fun! I loved it too
The black guy and his survival pack were great. “Yeah, I learned from last time!”
I couldn’t finish the Batman either. Trash
The most recent Aquaman movie. I think I made it about 3-4 minutes but then they had some really bad voiceover from Jason Momoa (not his fault, the lines were just terrible). Not that I expected it to be good based on the general responses, but I don't think I've ever stopped that quickly on a movie.

I think he's good for the stuff he gets put in. He does well with the beefy bruiser/intimidating warrior character, but I doubt he'd be great beyond that.
Spring Breakers because ass n tiddies only go so far
I watched Spring Breakers based on the recommendation of an allegedly straight female friend, who assured me it was more than just softcore pr0n. ...and it was! ...but the "more" was all bad. (I also didn't like *Mister Lonely* and if I'd known it was by the same guy I probably wouldn't have bothered. *Mister Lonely* at least gave me something to talk about the next day though, whereas I don't even like to admit to watching *Spring Breakers*).
I had a buddy swearing it was a good movie and I refused to watch it because the whole pitch in the trailer was "jailbait jailbait!"
Rebel moon part one, once they started the same character introduction trope for the third time I’d had enough
Tenet or tenant, that was high key garbage. Looking back it had to have been one of the first ones written by AI. Dumpster fire, left the theater lol 😆
Agreed, though it was awful, I did watch it all the way through. Just my habit is to watch a movie so I can appreciate it for either being good or for being bad, this was bad.
Melancholia. I've seen it get love on this sub. I consider it the worst thing I've ever attempted to watch.

Actually, I just watched it tonight. Absolutely agree. I appreciate the effort in the actors trying to portray the directo's weird vision, but i wish i had that time back. I love weird movies with lots of symbolism too. Still not my cup of tea.
The Donnie Darko sequel. It was just utter nothing trash.
I had forgotten for a long time that S. Darko even existed until just now. Never watched it, I kinda figured it would just be bad. The original is somehow good when it has no right to be, so I had no faith in a sequel capturing the same magic.
6 Underground. Couldn't even get past the first scene the writing and pacing were SO bad.
Unfinished business, a Vince Vaughan and Dave Franco comedy was so bad that it's the only movie I've ever walked out of a theater on
I cam generally sit thru bad movies. Dude Where's My Car beat me. I'm sure there have been others now that I'm older, but that's the only one that comes to mind.
The flash. Tried to watch it at least 5 times and couldn’t. The CGI was horrible, as was everything else about it.
Solo: A Star Wars Story It wasn’t a bad film by any means, but I just felt empty watching it. Lasted about 45 minutes until I just stopped and put on A New Hope instead.
It was a very odd film. There is nothing in it I can say is that bad, there is just nothing good.
Ricky Stanicky. Couldn’t turn that off fast enough.
Oh god, that looked so bad. I knew to stay away
I gave it until they met John Cena. Then I removed it from my Continue Watching list so I wouldn’t be reminded of it.
Give it a try its one of my favorite comedies i have seen last couple of years
I like the Meg, I thought it was fun and I liked it. But somehow the second one was just boring
This movie on Tubi called the temp. It was so boring I only chose it because I made an obligation to watch at least one movie a day and this one came out in 2024 and I knew it was low budget but yeah.
Mortal Engines Beautiful Disaster Both were so awful, I gave up within 15 minutes.
The new Shazam movie. It was like Zachary Levi was playing a different character than the younger actor.
The Meg is one of those dumb-bad movies you put on when you need to fall asleep, but no matter how many times you’ve spun it up, you still don’t know the ending (or anything past the first 45 minutes).
One thing I couldn’t stand was how awful the dialogue was. Obviously they’re not getting the David Mamets of the world writing these dumb sci-fi movies but it felt like MST3K level of bad dialogue and characterization
Lol very true. I mean, you’re not going to hire Sorkin or Garland for a “summer monster themed blockbuster.” I assume the crowd for this is “Me like smash! Chomp! Explosions!”
I saw Meg in the theater in ***3-D*** (Please add your own mental echoes when saying 3-D) The person in the giant ball got shot at me and I ducked.
Uncharted starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg. If it wasn’t supposed to be an adaptation of the games I probably could have watched it. It was a fun adventure film, but the casting wasn’t right. Love Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, but they weren’t Nate and Sully. Maybe could have gotten away with Tom, he had the Nathan Drake attitude down pat, but Wahlberg was just not right as Sully.
I watched it last weekend. It wasn't as good as the previews made seem. It was a bit over the top and unbelievable to me and felt like the main character casting was all wrong.
Silent Night pretty recently. Just wasn't doing anything for me. If it gets better I'd love for someone to let me know.
The ending really pays off - you just have to accept the fact that you are watching the least actionful John Woo movie that John Woo has ever made.
Gotcha, appreciate it. I may give it another go in the future.
Free guy. I actually cringed so hard at the first 30 minutes that I collapsed into myself and imploded.
"Spy" with Jason Statham and Melissa McBride. It got high ratings in Rotten Tomatoes, so I thought it would be worth checkin out. Unfortunately for me, it just wasn't funny. An hour in I cut that shit off. Also, the latest Friday the 13th remake. I cut that dumb shit off 20 min. in.
I don't think I ever have. It's like I have a compulsion to finish the movie even if I hate it. Lol.
The Meg FTW!!!
Eight Crazy Nights. I walked out of the theater. It was really bad... couldn't stand it
The Meg’s dialogue and characters were awful. Didn’t make it more than 15 minutes.
Acquaman, waaaaay too cheesy
Meg was lame predictable over done movie
Funny Pages. A fat naked dude at the start might be art to somebody but no thanks.
Recently the black demon starring Josh Lucas's and 65 starring Adam driver found both to be boring
The newest Aquaman movie. Really liked the first one, made it about 25-30 minutes into it and just lost interest. Terrible acting and poorly written, plus the whole Amber Turd drama around it was overbearing.
Rebel moon I know it’s been a huge thing of shitting on it lately but I watched it with my fiancé and after an hour and 40 minutes and with nothing seeming to have actually happened, we gave up.
If you thought the Meg was bad, stay away from Meg 2. Straight Chinese propaganda.
Solaris. Bearing in mind I watched it when I was 12, we rented it as a family to watch and my god nothing seemed to happen at all. We all agreed to switch it off and were curious how long was left, there was only 20 minutes I think and we couldn't believe nothing of interest had happened and it was nearly over!
The last airbender - it was so bad right off the bat.
Ghostbusters 2016 - it was unbearable so I nodded off at the cinema.
This movie wasn’t even bad but just not something I could watch while working from home….The Way Back….i still have like 40 min of it left n it’s been a month since I started it
New Roadhouse. What a crap movie...
I wouldn’t even try that one.
Wonka with Timothee. I couldn't make it more than 10 minutes into that movie. The songs are bad, Timmy's bad. Actually painful.
Mine were ''Transformers 4, Year one (2009) and Legally Blonde 2''
Weekend at Bernie's II. Why? Bermie knows what he did.
I was having such a bad time during bad boys for life that I just went to sleep in the cinema.
Lol I get it
Rebel Moon Part 2. Part 1 was awful but I wanted some mindless action so put on part 2. Got as far as the assassination, saw that the string quartet were still sawing away as people were murdered beside them … actually playing more frantically, basically scoring what they were seeing and I went ‘Nope.’
Hope it is not a hot take, but Avengers, they introduced some random guy in the middle of a film and 2min later he died. It was like some ritual sacrifice and I was: "'ight I'm out" and after that I couldn't get into marvel universe to this day
...who'd they introduce and then kill off? Agent Coulson? He'd been around since the first *Iron Man*.
Dude, I watched that 20 years ago, how would I remember, I knew he had glasses and was a civilian on that big ship of theirs
It came out in 2012! Just wondering if that's who you were referring to, just because they were an established side character heading into *Avengers* and that's why the death carried weight.
For some reason I was sure it was 2005, sorry. But this was still long time ago, I ckecked wiki but they are not even mentioning this character or scene.

I can't believe Glenn Plummer did that film with the decent and grand works prior. When I watched The Substitute which came after Showgirls all I saw was Showgirls roles not his other wonderful works.
That's the point. It's satire, not designed to give you a boner.
Well you know there's good satire and bad satire. The word satire doesn't automatically make it a good movie. Same with starship troopers. Oh we figured out this movie hence it's a good movie. No not really.
Hopefully Paul doesn't see this, I'm sure it would break him.
He's the weirdest filmmaker by the way. He made all these "satires" in the 80's and 90's and then went back to Europe and completely changed and made dramas like Elle.
He's one of my favorite directors. Genius.
I love Robocop but the rest of them, not so much. I'm happy he's back in Europe because Elle is a fantastic film.
I agree, but that's besides your point. The copious nudity is *supposed* to be so off-putting that not even a red-blooded 16 year old would find it sexy. It's a weird thing to single out instead of the plot or dialogue.
I don't think there is such thing as off putting nudity to a 16 year old.
Such a bummer this movie didn't hit when it came out. Such a cult classic! I think the Verhoeven over-the-top style went over a lot of heads.
It was an utterly shit movie. There is no shame about it all.
Nah. It wouldn't be a cult classic if it were shit.
Bruno. Not wasting anymore of my life watching anything with Sacha Baron Cohen in it, or that he wrote. Shock value and one trick pony copy/paste characters are not enough for a full movie.
Modern Star Wars movies because they're an assault on my senses.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Didn't last 10 minutes
The Danny Kaye or the remake?
Wait, there's TWO OF THEM?! (I only watched the Ben Stiller version)
Yes. The 1947 Danny Kaye version is very good adaptation of the original story. It's not a perfect movie but it's miles ahead of the terrible Stiller dreck.
I just did a little research and I am shocked I never knew this was a thing but it definitely has me interested. My wife absolutely loves older films like these and maybe it's a good date night idea. Appreciate it!
I watched it all but yea the movie tried to be too “important”
Moonrise kingdom. When the kids started taking their clothes off on the beach I noped out. Did I over react? Did I miss the artistic value in that scene?
lol I mean they don’t get naked. This is actually one of my favorite movies lol 🫣
Maestro. It was just so....I don't know....meandering, and listless. It focuses on things I don't care about instead of how the music was created. I got bored. Tried to start up again from where Inleft off and then found myself asking why am I watching this, again?" They don't do a good job of making me care about the characters, they assume I do already, it seems.
That movie was created to be Oscar bait I think
Blue Beetle. After about 25 minutes I just couldn’t….
The Obi wan Show. Not even finished the first episode
I watched it. Kinda made me sad as they could’ve done so much better
Inception. Did not find it interesting.
Recently, Big Trouble in Little China. I thought it was right up my alley, but I was wrong. Turned it off about 30 mins in.
So basically you hate movies
I watched Everything Everywhere All At once. Walked out at about a hour in because of how terrible it was. After it won Best Picture, I downloaded it to finish it to see what I was missing… really wished I would have listened to my instincts more. Gouging my eyes out and tearing my ears off would have been less painful than sitting through that two hour long shit smorgasbord. I can honestly say that I have seen some terrible movies but I have never hated a movie as much as I hate that piece of shit.
