Current Events > Have you ever shut off a movie for being so bad you had enough?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I like some space in my movies. Too many movies now are cgi mass produced action where they make it seem like there is so much going on and it all seems like a big mess to me. I think deadpool is really the only recent superhero movie I liked. And it's lower budget. Every other one I have shut off because they are all the same.

Ypu guys know shitting on Adam Sandler is the standard right? We all know his movies suck.

Recall reading where he practically admited he didn't care about his own movies. He saw them as a way for him and his actor buddies to get paid to go on a vacation as hed always try to negotiate them being cast too and negotiate changing the location. Well the location thing at least supposedly happened with 50 first dates

I absolutely would have turned off "Hillbilly Elegy" if I was the only person in the room. Man, I'll be blown away if Amy Adams doesn't win the Razzie for that shit.

Cliched answer, but Twilight. I've been in a couple situations where I was killing time with someone and they'd pop it in, and I'd watch a little just for the wreck, but I always decided it wasn't worth it and got up at the same point each time.

Only a handful, and they were generally absurdly low-budget "starring" people who clearly never took an acting class in their life (although I've also watched some of those through to the end).

My threshold for terrible is generally going to be far higher than everybody else's, since I've seen a *lot* of shoestring budget indie garbage. In fact, I'm going throw down the fucking gauntlet. Back during Halloween I watched Graveyard Stories (2017). It's not even close to being the worst thing I've ever watched, but I imagine most people here wouldn't be able to make it through it:

(And before anybody gets their hopes up, Lloyd Kaufman is only there for the introduction and iirc he may have popped up at the end. If not for Lloyd Kaufman's presence, I probably would have given up on it quickly. Especially considering how bad the sound editing is at times.)

Most of these really are awful movies

They're bad-for-Hollywood movies, they're not truly awful films.

Basically anything with Adam Sandler in it, I can't make it past 20 minutes. And those are the longest, most grueling 20 minutes of my life.

Murder Mystery was pretty decent, so I made the mistake of watching Hubie Halloween.

Wouldn't really surprise me, but 50 First Dates was actually enjoyable.

Never walked out of a movie theater, but I've given up on a lot of movies before. Lots of horrors that you can tell are gonna be bad, just like someone mentioned.

---

Tons of times just while streaming shitty netflix movies.

But The Last Jedi was really the first movie where I felt embarrassed to be watching it and wanted to leave the theater..

---

Rarely, but one recently I can remember was the conan reboot. Was so terrible.
---

Yes. Black Klansman or whatever its called.
---

Yeah. Movie 43 I think it's called.

Oh ffs, yeah, I gave up on that one, too. It was just a lot of shitty gross-out humor.

Yes, I tried to watch one of the new Spiderman movies yesterday and made it about 30 minutes before I had had enough.
First Marvel movie I've tried to watch since Ironman 2.

---

Rarely, but it has happened. Last time I did it was for Capone with Tom Hardy. I should have read a review but I assumed since Tom Hardy was in it it would at least be good enough to watch. Damn was I wrong, that film was straight up dog shit.

BloodRayne was the first that comes to mind

I love B horror movies and Vampires and all but dear God that was literally more boring than Twilight


---

Yeah. Used to watch a lot of movies *ahem* (yar-har fiddle-dee-dee), and some of these would be so low-budget I just couldnt.

Which is worse, Gotti or Capone?

The Cirque Du Freak movie. I believe they called it The Vampire's Assistant, which is the title of the second book. The movie is a mash up of the first two books I believe.

I really enjoyed the books growing up. Was really looking forward to the movie. Felt like they didn't even read the book. Truly awful. The characters were so off.

Tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, but was so bored I had to stop.

Uncut Gems

it was more annoying than bad. Although Julia Fox's ass almost made up for it

Probably one of the best films of 2019

That movie fucking sucked.

Same with The Social Network.

Literally one of the best movies of the 2010s lol.
