What movie are you avoiding seeing, and why?
« on: March 05, 2016, 07:14:38 PM »
  The Witch  :witch:  is supposed to be a masterpiece of horror, but I know I'd regret it later. 
  I don't even want to see the trailer!  Scary movies are fun in the moment, then I repent at leisure.

  I avoid anything featuring Angelina Voight, because I can't fucking stomach that broad. 
   Don't get me started!  :mad:   Not surprisingly, I also skip anything with Brad Pitt in it.

  I also skip anything featuring someone I know to be a Scientologist.  :tinfoil:

  Also anything in the Saw/Hostel  "torture porn" category.   :runaway:

  I also am put off by "rom-coms/chick flicks."  Partly because I'm just not a big fan of the genre,
  and partly because I'm put off by the marketing assumption that "all women love this kind of movie!"  :tard:

Mostly anything shown in cinemas. Poor image quality, bad sound, people who talk their way through the film... It's just not worth it.

  I dislike the trend of remaking classic movies for no reason, or turning old TV series into movies. 
   Really, we're so bereft of imagination that we have to remake some early-60's dreck sitcom?  :thumbdn:

Ghostbusters remake

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Tend to avoid shaky hand-cam movies as they cause motion sickness. Still, enjoyed Cloverfield; just had to take a few breaks and look away from the screen now and then.

  I did like the trailer for 10 Cloverfield Lane.  :o

  The choice of music kept me distracted from the true theme of the movie.  Clever.  :tinfoil:
