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 😁

Oh no! I love a lot of these films.

I will use my age (25) as my defence and watching them now makes me feel nostalgic. Watched Grease for the first time in years recently and cringed a lot at the plot line. The feminist in me hated it. The child in me loved it.

The Revenant is a waste of time. How it got Oscars I don't know.

Oh god yes - SATC2 is so bad and so offensive on SO many levels I still cannot understand how it was even made.

Fucking Notting Hill.

She is such a godawful bitch in every way, and the film ends with HIM apologising to her. WTAF? She's an abusive arsehole and he's a sweet good guy. Pisses me the fuck off.

I’d never seen SATC until a week ago. What a load of shite! The way they were all persuading Miranda to go back to her husband after he’d slept with someone else because they thought she was overreacting but Carrie was allowed to never speak to Big again because he’d had a panic attack before their wedding. WTF?

Spacecudet I will never forget watching the Nic Cage remake of the Wicker Man at the cinema, and everyone in the room burst out laughing when he got his legs broken. I was desperate for them to just set fire to him already so it would be over.

To be fair, I watch a lot of the (crap) 80s films of my youth in the same way I watch the old black and white classics. Different times. Doesn’t make any of the sexist shite OK, but you’re watching it through a 2019 lens (and in my case, the lens of a middle aged mother who has found feminism). I cut some slack, sometimes.

Mamma Mia 2 mainly because the filmmakers didn’t bother to watch Mamma Mia and none of it makes sense. Wrong timeline, the friends are in mamma Mia 2 when in mamma Mia they had no idea there were 3 potential fathers, none of the fathers look anything like the pictures shown..just lazy lazy film writing

SATC1 was embarrassing watching it again now, although I loved it (and the series) at the time. But SATC2 was just outrageous even at the time. I can’t believe there wasn’t an outcry about it. Racist, religiously offensive, sickening stereotypes. Just dreadful.

Vanilla sky. No it's not 'deep' or 'ground breaking' it's a pile of shite with Penelipe Cruz being her vacant stare into the distance self and Tom Cruise is just his post Cocktail Prick self.
I really hate films that think they are so above the audience.

Ferris Buellers Day Off. I watched it again recently and realised how irritating he is and awful to his best friend.

Taken. The daughter gives me the rage, she is so unlikeable I wonder why he bothered saving her.

The island. Such a good ideas which turned into a crap action type movie and an even crapper ending.

God, Les Miserables. Two and three quarter hours of people unremittingly bellowing and wingeing at each other.

I watched Eden Lake recently after hearing so much about it and I thought it was shite. As if you’d stay more than 5 minutes next to a bunch of scrotes and a pile of dog shit in the first place, let alone have a nap! Then when the bloke is captured, instead of trying to escape immediately the woman has another kip in the woods all night instead of trying to get out. It was completely ridiculous and the couple were very annoying.

That reminds me of Blair Witch. Just follow the fucking river, how hard can it be?

Pretty Woman,
Mama Mia
Home Alone
Gone with the Wind

Fucking pretty fucking woman. There's no happy ending with a sex worker and the man who's paying to rent her vagina for the week

Titanic but not for that reason. I have to turn it off before the floating on the door scene or I get ragey. BUDGE THE FUCK UP, Rose.

Father of the Bride (Steve Martin version). The girl guilt trips her poor old dad into spunking an insane amount of money on a ridiculous wedding; she has swans freezing to death in her garden for her amusement; she tantrums like a two-year-old when her fiancé buys her a blender, but it's OK, we know she is a Good Person and Deserving of Happiness because she doesn't eat veal.

I laughed at THe Wicker Man with Nicholas Cage when he got his legs broken too. You never saw it happen, you just heard him yell ‘and now you’ve broken my legs’ (or something like that). Because you narrate injuries when you’re in pain 🙄😏

Sommersby-awful! Couldn’t understand a word Jodie Foster said.
The Last Emperor-Boring, long, boring.
Anything by Woody Allen-he’s a creep, out and out, in my opinion.

Isn't the point of the Shape of Water that she was potentially one of the fish people all along? The fishman has magical powers that can make people revert to their former selves (like bringing the guy's hair back) and then the scars on her neck become gills at the end of the film? She was found by the river as a baby so that's how I always took it?

That's the end of it yes, but I still hated it

The posts about SATC reminds me how annoying that was. I just don't believe any woman would get back together with a man who stood her up so publicly at the altar. It's also a bad message for young women.

And I’ll add The Goldfinch to that list (don’t even know if it’s made or released yet) but the book was bloody awful, none of the characters were likeable and the “plot” was meh.
