I mostly don't like popular movies and it has never and probably will never strike me as my fault.

I'm there with two movies.

  • Dude, where's my car
  • Tropic Thunder

In both cases I know the quotes - I saw each film to the end! - but it seems like 10 seconds of joy in 2 hours of dreck for each of them.

Kelso and Stifler did a good job, and so did RDJ, but these seemed to be so little to work with.

I hope you enjoyed them like so many others.

The leftovers did that to me.

Not a movie, but for me House of Leaves was awful. Most of the characters are extremely flat and we barely get to see them interact. The central gimmick of run-on footnotes and rabbit holes is more annoying than profound, even if it did tie into the themes well. The author also clearly has something against women, since I can't name a single female character who isn't a either sex object, a prostitute, or an adulterer. The horror atmosphere also didn't land for me, mostly because it's so surreal that I can't get invested in the characters as actual people.

I haven't seen it since we watched it in a high school class, but I remember the movie Elf being irritating and cringey. Apparently a lot of people adore that movie, but I just don't get it.

Ditto with pretty much everything I've ever seen by Adam Sandler. Though, at least I've heard people dislike Sandler's work before. I've never heard anyone say they don't like Elf.

I still haven't seen this movie, and at this point I don't think I will, just because I enjoy people's reactions when I them I haven't got round to it yet.

The Godfather. Despite several attempts I've never made it through, it just can't hold my attention.

For me, it's Wicked.

I generally like musicals, and I watched both the movie and the musical (w/ my SO, who loved it), and neither clicked for me. I felt the musical fell apart in the second half (I didn't like the ending at all), and according to my SO, most of my complaints are where it deviated from the book. The movie was a bit better (and I'll probably watch the second one, just to compare), but I still felt it was a bit generic. It goes way too hard on DEI concepts (skin color), and the characters seemed a bit shallow. I hope the second movie draws more from the book than the musical. It wasn't "bad," it was just pretty mid for me, not the knockout experience it was claimed to be.

The music was pretty good though, I'll give it that.
