Movies you just can't be bothered with

[LynneSin]

A movie you can't be bothered with isn't a movie that is so bad that no one bothers with it - but a movie that seems like everyone likes but you have no interest whatsoever in seeing it.

For me - it's all those Harry Potter movies. Ho-hum, bore me. Just can't see any interest to why I would bother watching these movies. I was never interested in the books and the movies hold no interest to me whatsoever.

What movies can't you be bothered with?

[el_gato]

1. i never saw top gun

and i don't waste my time with the lord of hte rings stuff

or just about anyother big budget garbage

[Larry Gude]

2. Matrix...

...(I'm already ducking) all 3.

I just don't get it.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

11. :: throws boot ::

lol :hi:

[SlavesandBulldozers]

5. you have to see Lord of the Rings

youve got to be kidding me. go rent it.

[Richardo]

10. Estamos simpatico, Gato...

I've never seen Top Gun either. And I like it that way.

LOTR I bored me - and I liked the books in Jr High. No desire to see the other ones.

Matrix was OK, but I have no desire to see it over again two more times.

:boring:

[el_gato]

25. Yo he leido los libros tambien

but i won't waste my time with the movies

[onebigbadwulf]

3. Titanic and Chicago

Eh don't care

[proud patriot]

4. Gone With The Wind

Never have seen it , can't be in the same room
with it on . Maybe it's an allergic reaction
but that movie is like nails on the chalkboard for me .

[SlavesandBulldozers]

Shakespeare in Love

saw the first 30 minutes and walked out, bored silly.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

9. That was on last night where I am

I fell asleep within 30 minutes . Did'nt Gywneth Paltrow get an Oscar for that role ! WTH !

[Cheswick2.0]

6. horror movies

boring!

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. any musical

With the exception of Little Shop of Horrors - which was a cool musical because it had a man-eating plant in it. :D

[dwckabal]

29. Now, the South Park Movie was a musical...

and a damn good one at that!

[Semi_subversive]

8. Any of the Star Wars movies

or any other films of that genre.

[Jonte_1979]

12. Return of the King

From all the hype surrounding the LOTR films, you'd think they were the best thing to happen to mankind since the invention of the printing press or something.


The first two movies failed to appeal to me on an emotional level.

[Sting]

13. hmmmm...

The Matrix, never care to see them ever again, heck, haven't seen the last 2, Titanic (only saw the winslet nude scene for obvious reasons), those new Star Wars movies, and others I don't feel like naming.

[truthseeker1]

14. Arnold Schwarzennegger "action" films

especially now

[wtmusic]

15. The Fight Club

Pretentious

[truthseeker1]

16. Snatch

Absolutely the worst film ever. Couldn't understand a word they were saying and slept through most of it - even though Brad Pitt was in it.

Oh yeah, and Blood Work by Clint Eastwood was terrible!! Utter junk. What is happening to Clint?

I also don't get into Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter - they bore me.

[GOPisEvil]

19. Really? You didn't like "Snatch"?

Did you ever see "Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels"?

I liked them both, but to each their own.

I agree wholeheartedly with your last sentence though. :thumbsup:

[Loonman]

17. The Ya-Ya Sisterhood and similar man-bashing crap

Pisses me off.

[bloom]

21. I just saw that the other night

I thought the men came out looking like saints and the women like nuts -for the most part.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

26. Well, from your statement..

it's clear you didn't see that movie. :)

[cmf]

30. Ditto the others

Men come off looking really good in that movie. Yes, it is a chick-flick, but it's not male-bashing at all. More like crazy mother bashing.

[BurtWorm]

18. Any fantasy/sci fi film is automatically a non-must-see for me.

And that includes LOTR, Matrix, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc., etc., etc. I fell out of love with those genres long, long ago in a universe not far away. I have seen both Harry Potters because I have an 8-year-old daughter.

[Shrek]

20. "Titanic"

Everyone I know raved about it, but I couldn't muster the interest to see it. I knew the boat would sink, so what's the point?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. Anything whose previews contain

a lot of car chases and explosions. This tells me that it has car chases and explosions instead of a plot or characterization.

Any movie whose entire plot is told in the previews. This is why I have never seen "Finding Forrester." Why pay good money, when I saw the whole film in a three-minute condensed version?

Indie films populated by stupid, chain-smoking, foul-mouthed lowlifes, as if that's a really original concept.

[Blue-Jay]

23. Short list of movies I couldn't be arsed to see.

Pretty Woman
Lethal Weapon (all of them)
Top Gun
Die Hard (all of them)
Any Bond movie without Sean Connery
Jerry Mcguire

There are tons more that are popular, but I can't think of them at the moment.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

24. The Matrix - Dull, unoriginal, tedious and pseudo-religious.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

27. Charlie's Angels...

I'm sure this is what Susan B. and the other suffregettes were envisioning back in the day... :eyes:

[On the Road]

28. Pearl Harbor

and stuff like that. I like big visual effects, but not if the plot and dialogue are unoriginal.

[cmf]

31. Finding Nemo

And other children's movies that most adults find enjoyable. Like Shreck, Harry Potter, etc. I just find children's stuff incredibly boring for some reason.

[Zomby Woof]

32. another vote for the Matrix

:boring:

[omshanti]

33. Forrest Gump

*ducks* please don't hurt me!! I just never had any desire to see it. Can't explain why.

[geniph]

34. Anything marketed primarily to teenage boys

which means 90% of Hollywood's annual output. "LOOK! Things go BOOM!" "LOOK! Skinny starlets show their boobies while all the 'teenaged' boys (actually 30-year-old men) keep all their clothes on!" "LOOK! Men with guns!" "LOOK! Boys doing dumbass things (as if that's unusual)!" "Fast cars/boats/planes going BOOM!"

Snooze-o-rama.

I also have virtually no interest in seeing anything that anyone refers to as "heart-warming" - that generally translates to manipulative and treacly.

I haven't seen a Hollywood-made movie in years that deserved to lick the boots of a movie like Whale Rider.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

35. Sorry, but 'Whale Rider' god that was dull.

[skypilot]

36. Pulp Fiction...

...was that movie for me. I saw a trailer for it and it looked totally uninteresting but when it was released EVERYONE was raving about it. I thought that was strange because usually a trailer will make a movie look even better and more exciting that it actually is. After "Pulp Fiction" became a big hit I'd still see trailers for it now and then when I'd rent a video and it still looked completely uninteresting to me. I started thinking that maybe this is one of those instances in which the trailer doesn't do the movie justice. I ended up renting the damned thing when it came out on video. Guess what, I thought the movie was just as boring and pointless as the trailer.

These days it's those damned "Matrix" movies that I can't be bothered with. I actually saw the first one and actually almost fell asleep.

[Mr. McD]

37. Most of them

I may get to one or two a year. I catch up on video.
