What movie is most likely to get caught in your challopian tube?

but the "play" was AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION! what a property to make into a film!

Hey, they're making films of a wide array of Milton Bradley board games. Seems like anything's fair game at this point, however little sense it makes.

you know what, I think I hated forrest gump even more than forest gump

Well, let me tell you: don't even bother with Forrrest Gump. Although Forrrrest Gump was actually pretty good.

Fight Club. Hate it so damn much.

Nothing brings me closer to ILX than it's blanket condemnation (or thereabouts) of Crash.

Requiem for a Dream

not quite blanket condemnation (where's Dan...)

x-post

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."

A special kind of loathing is reserved for "Southland Tales."

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.

Signs

jesus h christ people apollo 13 is not a good answer

well why don't you tell us what movies we should hate then?

peter jackson's King Kong! fucking horrible

Serendipity.

xxp i just don't see how one can find it contemptible unless it's very MOR-ness is what makes it contemptible for you in which case whatever

Love Potion No. 9 with Sandra Bullock is some shit

I forgot - the one with the pianist, drillbit taylor, and that smarmy guy with bad facial hair on a train in India.

have any of you successfully gotten your money back for hating a movie? this seems like a fun thing to do and would almost be worth hating a movie for.

i just don't see how one can find it contemptible unless it's very MOR-ness is what makes it contemptible for you in which case whatever

That's a large part of why I dislike it (and It's a Wonderful Life).

Conspiracy Theory but I'd have a hard time explaining why exactly

Saw Watchmen for free. Asked my friend who works at the odeon if I could get those 3 hours of my life back, she called me an ungrateful cunt.

Paid for The Golden Compass though ;_;

it smells like challops in here.

I can't really work up much vitriol for boring mainstream movies that are boringly mainstream.

I can if I've wasted hours of my life watching them.

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.

"i love everything"

I hated the concept of It's a Wonderful Life for a long time, and then I actually watched it and thought it was great.

I love It's a Wonderful Life--it's a wonderful movie!!!!

yeah this is me not touching this thread with a ten-foot pole

awwwwwww c'mon

also it's hard for me to hate a movie because i like movies and i love bad movies

The Dark Knight.

it smells like challops in here.

with the title of this thread, what did you expect? It's like being shocked to find challops in a thread with "Pitchfork" in the title.

with the title of this thread, what did you expect?

challops with less of a fishy smell, I guess.

so I shouldn't suggest scallops as a viable pizza topping then?

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.)

Ferris Bueller. or maybe Kids.

it smells like challops in here.

with the title of this thread, what did you expect?

Mods, change thread title, plz

I hated Knowing because Nic Cage yelling his way through a movie is a quality in a movie that brings out my hatred.

how's that for a title

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.

good title!

xxp about as witty as we can expect

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.

I recalled some also rans:
* Deja Vu - wormholes in photographs WTF
* That cruddy Nic Cage movie where he's a magician. With magician hair.
* Because I Said So - Diane Keaton at her shrillest, most awful worst ACK I can't even standing thinking about that goddamn movie

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).

Has anyone mentioned "The Squid and The Whale" yet?

No, but thanks for mentioning it. HORRIBLE!

Huckabees was a big bag of WTF.

human traffic, requiem for a dream

i think i just hate all 'young people take drugs' films

I started off taking Huckabees seriously and hated it, then I slowly realised it was completely taking the piss, and decided it was grebt.
