Unwatchable movies

[CrewsControl]

Nephew: Want to watch V for Vendetta. It's really good.
Me: OK
DVD starts.

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V."

Me (pauses DVD): Does he talk like this through the whole movie?
Nephew: Um... Yeah, pretty much.
Me: Can we watch something else?

District 9 was just gross.

bc

you expected a movie about genocide to be clean cut with roses springing out of the ground?

That movie, had there been an alien visit, I'd predict would probably be what would happen.

Of course there's an endless ocean of obviously terrible independent and straight-to-video cornball films, but as far as major motion pictures go, hands down worst movie I've ever attempted to watch was last year's Conan the Barbarian remake.

I pretty much like all movies. Sometimes the bad ones are even better than the good ones.

You and I have had some disagrrements in the past, but you pretty much nailed it with this comment.

whaaaaat??? How can you dislike "sand villains"?

 

[Kaa]

And, you are all missing the world's worst movie Independence Day.

followed closely by the Tom Arnold vehicle "The Stupids".

The only Will Farrel movie I've been able to make it all the way through was Talladega Nights. I just can't stand him. Every role of his is just him being him which is lost on me I guess.

So in short. Anything with Will Farrel in it.

I have to agree with you there: Will Ferrell is highly over-rated. I just don't see the hilarious uproariness of it all...

Same deal with Adam Sandler movies. Except that he gets on my nerves even worse!

[ThudThudThud]

I had to sit through "Melancholia" the other night.

Don't. Just...don't.

 

[Scobby Bott]

And what's the deal with Swordfish? Why do people like that movie? Are they really big fans of green and orange?

 

[MatticusMania]

Lol I get a kick out of everyone I see in one way or another. But some are just horrible. I can watch anything from any time period. I even enjoy watchin the silent original Dracula. But I'm telling you matticus! This darkest knight movie was so so so so bad. I can't even describe. It's so bad I've only encounters its existence once in a hollywood video (before movie rental establishments got bumrushed by netflix)

Just for you!

Ive run into a movie just too bad to watch every now and then, but I usually cannot recall them afterwards.

I had to sit through "Melancholia" the other night.

Don't. Just...don't.

I couldnt do it! I started it on Netflix, and within 10 minutes said "Naaaaah, this aint happening..." And I wanted to watch the world end!

Judging by your username, you've got no problem with cheese, but there wasn't even any of that to get me through. It was just a hollow shell of excessive "violence" and CG blood. Offensively stupid.

Even so, they should have used some of the film's CG budget to perk those puppies up.

 

[MatticusMania]

Yeah, they werent all that great

 

[BassGuyFL]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show. After hearing the hype for years I rented it a few years ago and I got through less than half an hour and had to shut it off.

I mostly tend to avoid the ones that I know won't appeal to me. I've never seen Titanic and have no intentions to. (I'll save you 3 hours of your live. The ship sinks)

There's also a few that I was interested in and either suffered through or avoided because a certain actor/actress I dislike was in it. As you can guess I don't see a whole lot of movies!

 

[ShredderMaximus]

I'd like to add Rob Zombies Halloween II also. I didn't leave the theater since I paid 9 bucks to see it, but damn, I wanted to. I actually left the theater angry, like I had just sat through an hour and a half of being personally insulted by Rob Zombie.

 

[gjbassist]

King Kong (The 2005 Peter Jackson remake)- So long, boring and gross! My wife and I debated walking out several time but kept telling ourselves "it has to get better". It never did!

Burn After Reading-What a waste of a great cast! Should have been titled "Burn Before Watching!"

 

[MatticusMania]

+1 to the last three movies listed.

 

[Marial]

Another vote for anything Will Ferrell is in. I just do not find that guy funny. Also, pretty much anything Matthew McConaughey is in, though Dazed & Confused is awesome. He should have pretty much hung it up after that role. There was a SiFy-produced movie that had Debbie Gibson and Tiffany in it that I thought would be one of those that is so bad it's good, but it was truly horrid and I couldn't sit through the whole thing. I typically enjoy atrocious scifi/horror movies but I couldn't stomach that one.

Napoleon Dynamite

I have never in my life while watching a movie wanted to just kick something in the head after the first 15 minutes, until I watched that.
