Films that give you the rage!

[crispysausagerolls]

Inspired by the excellent thread on songs.

Mine is Titanic. Billy Zane is marrying Rose knowing he is used as a money mule to help the family - she then cheats on him, flaunts it, and he is somehow the bad guy. WTAF. If roles were reversed it was be horrendous. Just because Leo was hot doesn’t make it ok 😁

Yes, I mentioned Passengers in my first post. The only part I liked was when Jennifer Lawrence first finds out that her pod didn’t fail accidentally and sets off for Chris Pratt’s quarters to take her revenge. The film could have gone in quite a different direction there!

Toy Story 4. Ruined so many of the characters. They should have finished it at 3. In fact I shall pretend this movie doesn't even exist.

Mother! Is awful. Trying way too hard to be poetic/religious and I still don't know what the point of it was

Literally ANYTHING by Richard Curtis - sentimental shite. Hate romcoms anyway, but all his films are so twee.

Richard Curtis ' daughter is a feminist writer so she needs to have a word with her dad about his outdated ideas. In About Time, the main character's sister is hospitalised after a nervous breakdown or suicide attempt, can't remember which. He turns up to visit and says he's going to fix her up on a blind date with his mate and she instantly perks up and is "cured". Who knew that male attention could solve mental health issues.

In Dirty Dancing I think Jonny was also outraged by the way Penny was treated and is respectful towards Baby's feelings. Also suspect their characters are meant to be much younger than the actors actually are.

Mother! What even was that? And Michelle Pfeiffer turning up and acting batshit? Was the whole thing meant to be a metaphor? Literally no idea what was going on there.

Toy Story 4 was ace, I shan't have it

I ❤️ Forky

Absolutely agree about the bad Italian accent. It made it unbearable to watch.

A Quiet Place was also shite. I got annoyed that they were living in danger but Emily Blunt was overjoyed to be pregnant. Too similar to Birdbox which was very well done.

I can forgive Pretty Woman all its faults because Julia Roberts is so wonderful in it, she lights up the screen.

The Holiday gives me the creeps when Jude Law turns up drunk and starts hitting on Cameron alone in an isolated house. Horrible coercive date rape situation, but it's meant to be romantic?

Off the top of my head - and a quick look at my film diary - here's a list of awful SF prison films. Gamer, Alien 3, Darkdrive, Timelock, Dante 01, Fortress, Deathrace (the remake), Deadfire, Wedlock, Lockout, Battlefield Earth, Debug.

Looking through my diary did remind me of a lot of films I really never want to watch again and some I have no memeory of having seen at all. Apparently in 2009 I watched a film called Cannibal Women In The Avocado Jungle of Death

and it reminded me of so many movie that need adding to this list:

The recent Swallows and Amazons which inexcusably changed everything that made the book a timeless classic. God I was so pissed off with this one. .

L'Amant - Five hours (it felt like) of 1930s French people in Indo-China talking in Subtitle English -"My love for you is expired. Now I am dead." Loads of sex though. Loads and loads of sex. God! it got boring. Halfway through I started willing the Japanese to attack. Or a Hurricane to hit, or something. Anything but more sex. Please! I prayed, don't have even more sex and then lie around languidly having yet another elliptical post-coital conversation. Please!

The Goonies - By the second reel I wanted every character in it to die.

Divertimento - Two hours of watching rich French people telling each other their lives are unbearable in incomplete sentences...

Too many...

I hate anything done by monty python I just don't get the comedy at all. DH and many of my friends love them

La La Land. I have no idea what it was really about. It went straight over my head and just bored me.

@fadingstar i dont want to watch it number 3 was the perfect ending and i hate they went for profit on TS

I hate avatar what a load of shit was so bored by the end

I read somewhere (but cant remember) that johnny was meant to be about 27 and baby was 17

Gabs it was such a blatant cash grab. Stick with the first three...I never want to watch 4 again. Lol Vanya Forky was a boring pain in the arse. The trash joke was slogged to death.

Another vote for Love Actually. I was about to say one subplot in it was sweet (the Colin Firth one - but even it is pretty horrible with the fat girl joke). I especially loathe the whole plot line with Liam Neeson encouraging his poor son to go the airport and behave like someone deranged. WTAF...

You say boring pain in the arse

I say best thing in the film

The Cider House Rules.

The book is brilliant, and I love John Irving with the exact same vehemence that I also want him to stop.

The man man has written both some of the best and worst books I’ve ever read.

John Irving wrote the screenplay for the multi Oscar winning “The Cider House Rules” winning an Oscar for himself and Michael Caine.

It’s the worst bastardisation of a book I’ve ever encountered. It misses out an entire generation I.e things that in the book were done in the book by the wife were done by the mother in the book.

And the fact the the same writer did them both makes me absolutely doubt the credulity of Irving as an author.

It’s like he is the Anti JK Rowling. She kept control over her storylines. Irving literally laid himself down and helped them completely wreck his storylines

The World is not Enough - James Bond has a degree in Oriental Languages but cant handle a Chinese character keyboard when he gets into Michelle Yeo’s HQ. Aaaargh

@BathshebaKnickerStickers

Oh I second this :

The man has written both some of the best and worst books I’ve ever read.

I read about 5 and then stopped.

I pretty much stopped because of the one about the boy trying to find his Dad (??) which is massively CSA apologist (??)

It was really distasteful I don't know if I'll read another because of it

I stopped reading john irving because of a wanking scene or possibly a fellatio scene involving a minor

The one I think it was called Before I Find You - horrendous

True Lies makes me foam at the mouth. Jamie Lee Curtis ruins any film for me generally. Doesn't help it was played to death on TV. Only a certain amount of times you can see Jamie Lee Curtis gyrating in her pants before you see red.

*You say boring pain in the arse

😂😂 That just demonstrates how shit the rest of the film was. Haha we will have to agree to disagree. I'll keep thinking Woody is still playing happily at Bonnie's house.💕

Love this thread
Star Wars - so dull
Mama Mia- utter drivel and cheesy ABBA songs. Just ughh
