In terms of wishing the characters were killed in the first fifteen minutes thus ending the movie: "The Strangers," "Saving Private Ryan," "Boogie Nights," "Apollo 13," "Forrest Gump," "American Pie 2," "Spice World," and "It's a Wonderful Life."

Watchmen. Ergh, 3 hours of bad speeches, absolutely no fun, 4 penii, just everything wrong wrong wrong. Have to hate movies that could be potentially great and fuck up in every single way more than movies that were always going to be crappy.

If The Fountain didn't have Hugh Jackman literally turn into a tree, I think I would hate it more than Watchmen.

I'm generally too forgiving of boring mainstream movies, because I like almost all the ones sarahel listed above (especially Spice World which is delightfully campy, actually). I agree on the It's a Wonderful Life hate, though.

Self-importance is the only quality in a movie that brings out hatred imo. Things that are just dull or poorly made I just don't care for (or I love, like Tiptoes.)

Re: It's a Wonderful Life
I probably liked it the first time I saw it, but it's been an inescapable xmas family tradition for more years than I care to remember and I'd gladly burn the master copy to avoid ever seeing it again even if it meant no one else could either.

I think what brings me to hate a movie - as opposed to shrugging indifference - is when it fails at doing something that it is trying to do in a highly calculating manner. Self-importance is one way, ham-fistedly heartwarming is another, and obnoxiously "quirky," "clever," and "weird" is a third way.
However, I often find myself sympathetic to movies that are spectacular failures - like Manos Hands of Fate or Night of the Lepus or Godmonster of Indian Flats.

Mutual Appreciation. Now that I know how boring and pointless mumblecore movies are, I will never see another. Didn't walk out because I thought maybe my boyfriend was enjoying it more than I was, but nope, we both found it to be a huge waste of time.

"I hated Knowing because Nic Cage yelling his way through a movie is a quality in a movie that brings out my hatred."
Ha! I thought he didn't yell enough. Or punch people without seeming provocation. Like watching a muzzled circus bear, its spirit broken (which the old Cage would have punched an yelled at).
― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 20:24 (fourteen years ago) link
