    Once upon a time in Hollywood.

    Closely followed by anything that’s self-jerking Hollywood’s ego. I’m looking at you too La La Land!

    I couldn’t get into any of the LOTR movies. I like fantasy, I like adventure, I like fighting, but those films are boring as hell to me.

    I know this is heresy but any Godfather movie, or the Sopranos, or anything that romanticizes the fucking mafia. To me organized crime characters are pieces of shit I can’t admire or relate to. The only movie that ever made me root for gangster types was Pulp Fiction, which is a masterpiece.

    Eternal Sunshine if a Spotless Mind has such good reviews and people speak fondly of it online. I hated it, just thought both characters were insufferable, and there was nothing remotely romantic about it. Felt like I was trapped in the bad relationship with them.

    Uwe Boll’s “Alone in the dark”

    I rented that movie, and it was so bad that half way through it I turned it off. When I went back to the rental store they offered me my money back.

    I said no. Because some lessons have to be painful in order to learn from them.

    If The Sopranos was boring, what you’d get is The Godfather. It’s boring. And it insists upon itself.

    BladeRunner - is like they wrote the screenplay based on the excellent source novel, then cut most of the ideas out, leaving only things that make no sense. Rick Deckard is a terrible detective, and only wins the final confrontation because Roy Batty… just gives up? I recently decided that my teenage self might have been wrong and rewatched it… nah, still terrible.

      The directors cut/final cut does improve the plot line but admittedly the original movie is more vibes than substance. I think a lot of the “neo-tokyo” cyberpunk aesthetic we take for granted had tropes which originated in this film.

    Super Mario Bros (1993) - it is just horrible, the only good thing about the movie is that it has a practical Yoshi puppet.

    Honestly, any of the Monty Python movies. I know people love them, and they have a few funny jokes. But man are they ever drab, I just can’t get into them.

    Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

    Absolute snoozefest with possibly the worst cast leads in modern history.
