You should've worn a different dress...

I'm in bed feeling like I have the lurgy coming on and I decide to watch some fluffy shit on Netflix. Otherwise known as Maid in Manhattan. Complete and utter shite, but it's shite I don't need to concentrate on. So anyway, I was happily half watching, half dozing and I hear the scene where JLo tells one of the Fiennes (could be any of them tbh) that she's only there to tell him they can't go any further...He replies with 'well you should've worn a different dress', while clearly eyeing up her considerable assets...urgh! I'm now feeling poorly with nothing to watch. What a load of nauseating and misogynistic, old bollocks.

What lines/scenes in films do you hate so much you have to turn them off?

"Is it raining? I hadn't noticed"

Urgh!!

Andie McDowell isn't the best actress (especially given the stellar cast of Four Weddings) but she really makes the worst of this line

RoryGillmoresEvilTwin · 08/11/2018 22:08

olennas yes! Terrible casting and a line so sickly sweet I think I had diabetes coming out of the cinema!

Any line that Martine Whatsit utters in Love, Actually.

RoryGillmoresEvilTwin · 08/11/2018 22:10

Hahaha! Yes agreed. She was definitely the weak link in that ensemble piece.

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."

You do!!!!! You get a piece of paper that tells you exactly what you're going to get. It even has pictures!

And for that reason, I cannot bear to watch Forrest Gump. Entirely irrational. Hope you feel better soon OP.

RoryGillmoresEvilTwin · 08/11/2018 22:24

Don't I think I'm one of the few people who didn't like Forest Gump. Hours upon hours of my life I'll never see again.

And thanks. I'm a miserable old cow when I'm under the weather so fingers crossed it's short lived! 😂

Oh god HATE the "is it raining" line. Delivered like a Speak n Spell.

mycatplotsdeath · 08/11/2018 22:32

" you had me at hello "

Bullshit!!
He had been gaslighting you

CrookedMe · 08/11/2018 22:40

When Martine McC says 'oh piss it' in Love Actually.

Nobody has ever uttered that phrase since the dawn of time.

PawneeParksDept · 08/11/2018 22:42

Oh I love Jerry Maguire! 👀

I find the Holiday really overrated and a lot of the lines in it very cringey

There are also lots of lines in Titanic that make me shrivel on the inside

Wannabeyorkshirelass · 08/11/2018 22:43

'Love means never having to say you're sorry' (Love Story)

Ohhhhh cos it's fine to be a dick to people you love is it?

PawneeParksDept · 08/11/2018 22:44

Oh yes I love Sliding Doors but there's a bit were Gwyneth is stomping downstairs swearing and uses shagging completely wrongly, in a way no one does.

I watched that a few years ago on telly and I was SHOCKED at how dated it was, it'd be worse if I watched it now I'm sure.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 08/11/2018 22:45

@Charlotte You have ruined Forrest Gump for me now, ruined I say. True dat though. Grin

BettyBitchface · 08/11/2018 22:46

Sandra Bullock drunkenly banging on about being some sort of bobcat bendy sex pretzel in Two Weeks Notice. Can't remember it verbatim but it's cringe-worthy and obvious.

Mazzystarlett · 08/11/2018 22:46

The entirety of Titanic. I went to see it with a narcoleptic and he fell asleep with 10 minutes, the lucky bastard. Only time I've ever been jealous of narcolepsy!

AlpacaLypse · 08/11/2018 22:52

@CrookedMe does'Oh Piss It Poo!?' count? Which I bellowed at a tractor that had lurched into the rather narrow and very bendy road in front of me and utterly ignored FOUR decent size laybys for nearly five miles, while the queue behind him and his very large trailer brewed up to over 20 vehicles.

SneakyGremlins · 08/11/2018 22:54

"I got off the plane" At the end of friends.

Should have stayed in Paris.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 08/11/2018 22:55

That FWAaF line is awful. But I do love the lady at the wedding who asks "are you a lesbian?" because "it's more interesting that saying 'oh dear, the right man hasn't turned up yet'".

Wannabeyorkshirelass · 08/11/2018 22:57

Ohhhh and that dire RomCom 'Friends With Kids' where the last line is 'Fuck the shit out of me'. Literally the last line.

It's meant to be an expression of passion and her surrendering to it etc but all I can think about is something shagging someone so hard that they defecate mid act. Romantic.

2ofstedsin24weeksistakingthep · 08/11/2018 22:58

DontCallMeCharlotte I think the Forest Gump line is an Americanism, as every box of American chocolates I have had, has been a lucky dip due to not having the paper menu included. This drives me mad as I hate lots of soft centres. DH likes to wind me up by taking them out!

Mazzystarlet I second Titanic being the biggest waste of time ever. The whole thing could have been covered in under 5 mins.

Wannabeyorkshirelass · 08/11/2018 22:58

I sobbed at 'I got off the plane' (more than once lol!)

Ross

Wannabeyorkshirelass · 08/11/2018 22:58

Titanic... THERE WAS ROOM ON THAT PLANK FOR HIM! Seriously there was no need for him to die.

GabsAlot · 08/11/2018 22:59

i dont agree about life is like a box of chocolates being a crap line

im sure back then there wasnt a list of whats what in the boxes
