Movies I Never Want To See Again

[naamah_darling]

Well, alainbriongloid asked me for a list of movies I never want to see again, and I couldn't resist the opportunity. So, I compiled a partial catalog of stuff I could go the rest of my life without seeing ever again

DAMMIT! Fitted underpants!? I'm repressing TOO MUCH!

Fuck. Now I have to locate screencaps.

O_O

Must check internets. Will make full report later!

I really haven't watched very many movies in about a decade. I'm not entirely sure why, although I think the second-shift job I used to work had something to do with it. I got out of work at ten, and I've never been enough of a night owl to go watch a movie at that point; I have to start winding down for bed.

I've never been into horror flicks per se, although I've made exceptions for unusual or genre-crossing ones like Scream or The Silence of the Lambs. Not into that much S/F, either.

The movies that occur to me when I think about those I never want to see again are more likely the ones that everyone else has already panned. The hideously misogynist Fatal Attraction comes to mind, as does the stunningly AWFUL Lonely Lady, starring Pia Zadora. Natural Born Killers - another lurid, manipulative piece of shit from Oliver Stone that purports to say something deep but fails in a big way. And a great many so-called "comedies" starring Saturday Night Live detritus come to mind, too. (The most amusing thing I've ever seen with Chris

Oh, man, I actually adored the Scream movies. They were great fun.

Natural Born Killers is already on my second list, which is growing by the hour. I saw what it was doing, I got the idea, but I just think it was . . . well, it just didn't work for me. At all.

You know, I have yet to see an Oliver Stone film that does not make me angry at it, and at him. I felt this way about JFK, Natural Born Killers, and U-Turn, and I think three movies is enough of a sampling to know that I despise the man. His directing just plain sucks, and his movies are infuriating.

Haven't seen them all...so the ones I have seen

[naamah_darling]

Catwoman! Safeword! Bwahahaha!!!

I agree with all your points, actually. For the movies I've seen, anyway.

Batman and Robin was just . . . man, these are great characters, EPIC characters, and they were reduced to a bunch of bumbling clowns. I couldn't stand it!

I never saw Batman and Robin. Who played Batman in it?

At the time I saw it (I was a wee one) I liked Batman Forever. But now I'm a Batman Begins girl all the way home.

[naamah_darling]

George Clooney! He himself says that he played "the gay Batman."

I like George. I like gay people even more. But he's totally right: that was the gay Batman. Not fruity, not nelly, just . . . he was gay. The end.

It's worth seeing for the camp value, but I don't know if I'd want to see it after seeing Batman Begins. I hate to sully the awesomeness with anything sub-par.

Christian Bale was an excellent choice. Oh, yeah.

[naamah_darling]

You make a good point. I hate space movies, too. A lot. Even the ones that aren't supposed to be scary scare the shit out of me.

*shudders*

For me, it's the visceral empathy to someone in a small metal container that is volunerable to cold, rupture, and radiation.

[deire]

Vulnerable, that is.

[phyrbyrd]

And Batman and Robin had REALLY STUPID MOTORBIKES, too. I mean, honestly. It was a crime against bikes.

[naamah_darling]

We'll add that to the list at the cinematic crimes tribunal for sure.

*shakes head*

How do you screw that up? REALLY.

[siliconshaman]

I dunno...Robin's bike wasn't too egeriously bad, I've seen worse in real life...[still bad, but bad in a believable way], but Batgirl's monstrosity?!!!
How the fuck did that even stay upright, much less move?!
