Breakfast Club

multiple hours of horrible teenagers and some horrible adults learning no valuable lessons and their actions being glorified

also the two love interest characters fall for each other despite having zero chemistry, cuz fuck you can't have a teen movie without a romance i guess

Young Frankenstein. I'm a fan of Gene Wilder and a huge fan of Mel Brooks, but somehow the comedy in that particular movie had me going "hmm, yes, I can see how people would find that funny" rather than actually laughing.

I think the alternative ending (that follows the book) makes it a much better film.

Finished severance s02 this weekend. Very disappointing ending to me (that I will not spoil), even though it seems like it's all anyone could talk about a couple months back.

Maybe it's because I just played Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and we were spoiled with incredible writing that does foreshadowing excellently with deep and nuanced themes, but while Severance's execution is great in the details the overarching plot left me severely disappointed. As if they got great directors, actors, set designers, dialogue, but just wrote the s01e01 hook and then kind of just made up the plot as an afterthought. Keeping up mystery for its own sake because once the curtain is pulled back, we realize the stage pieces are not that impressive.

It's still good TV but it ain't that deep and IDK why everybody's raving on about it. Anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Parasite for me.. I know I'm wrong but I don't know why.

I absolutely hated both Dune Movies... Such a boring and in my opinion incoherent mess. My jaw dropped when i found out it was So universally highly rated. It still makes me angry when i think about it.

Interstellar for me. Great soundtrack though.

When you find mediocrity unacceptable, popular shit doesn't usually suit your palate. This isn't a bug, it's a feature.

I'm like this with a shitton of movies because I just find drama boring and most of the big, popular films are dramas.

I like stupid action movies (Commando, Last Action Hero, Predator, etc), stupid comedies (Adam Sandler's old shit, Grandma's Boy, Dude Where's My Car, etc), and sci-fi. Sci-fi is also very much like drama, but at least it has lasers.

Never liked Star Wars. The original trilogy. I watched it and nothing no sense of adventure no tension just blah. The new ones are worse, watched all of those too but they fail even harder for what feels like the same reasons. To be clear I fucking love Sci-Fi books/movies/tv shows doesn't matter. Some of the starwars books are ok like anything with Kerra Holt in it

First off, Star Wars isn't scifi. It's a space western/opera. Its the same story told a thousand times before but in a different setting. It doesnt offer any philosophical quanderies or insights that actual sci fi does .

It has always been about being a great cinematic achievement for it's time. Theaters have great sound systems because of Star Wars. If you werent of the age to experience it at a time when the biggest movies were 'Kramer vs Kramer' and 'Harry And Tonto', it really isnt very good.

It's totally okay to not like it. I was a HUGE fan when it came out but I understand that it doesnt keep up with the cinema tech that it inspired.

My wife and friends think I'm a Star Wars nerd and keep giving me gifts and swag. I have never liked any of it past the original trilogy and I outgrew that a long, long time ago. In fact, all the other trilogies just downright pissed me off for how awful they were...just horrible dialogue, acting and storytelling.

I gave the exact same movie elsewhere in this thread. You're not alone

Anything by the Coen brothers. Especially the Big Lebowski. I just don’t get it. But I’m probably not the target audience, either…

Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind. I walked away thinking wow that was boring and I really hate Jim carry.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Jim Harry's best role was the mask. Because his normal stupid Jim carry shit fits well with the character. Other than that he annoys the shit out of me.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I like Jim Barry but I can see why if you don't click then his antics would get annoying very quickly.

Everyone around me said i should watch Napoleon Dynamite because it was sooooo funny. It was just an autistic kid doing and saying cringey things.

I also hate Donnie darko, Requiem for a dream, 90 % of David Lynch (especially Mulholland drive), citizen Kain, etc. Too many to mention.

Thor Ragnarok for me. I don't think there's something wrong with me for not liking it though. I have the objectively correct opinion about that movie and everyone who disagrees is wrong.

[–] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I mean... It's not high art, it's just effective at being stupid and fun. It's not really trying to be traditionally "good" and I think that's why people liked it.
