Deplorable films

Exit

What film has actually made you stop watching because you were so digusted by it?
Not ****ty plot or anything, but something that completely turned you off.

Mine would be Gummo. It had nothing at all decent going for it. I turned it off when some white trash loser pimps his mentally handicapped sister to two teenage white trash losers. (It was a film about white trash losers) I'm surprised I made it that far to be honest.

The Piano Teacher came very close but I sat it out. That's the only one...

Rules of Engagement. Seriously SERIOUSLY pi$sed my mate and me off. The way they justified their massacre of children sickened me and I was very close to walking out.

Pigman II

I'm proud (crazy?) enough to say I've never stopped watching a film for disgust (or any other reason). I ALWAYS have to see anything I watch I thru to the end once I start (even if it's only in 10 minutes at a time on DVD/Vhs) no matter how bad/preachy/disgusting etc they are. I think if I didn't I'd just be bugged afterwards wondering what did/didn't happen.

As to most disgusting - perhaps that guy in Audition getting his foot chopped off?

BTW, I didn't find gummo to be disgusting, merely annoying and boring - you were right IMHO to jettison it.

Karl Hungus

You know, I can't recall anything that was so bad it made me stop watching.

Personally, I enjoyed Gummo.

Yeah, that's one of the few films I've ever seen that really turned my stomach (and I've watched Cannibal Holocaust uncut ). What all those (reasonably) big names in the film were thinking when they signed up for that is beyond me.

UnrealQueen

Vanilla Sky definitely. I couldn't wait for it to end. I think it's also the first time i was asleep in the cinema.

Batman and Robin. Neon circus bull-****. The only movie I've ever said 'fuk this' and turned off.
I've never turned off a movie out of disgust though, and I make a point of searching out movies that test me in that regard.

Gillie

Wrong Turn.
The League of extraordinary a$$holes.

That is all!:mad:

Retr0gamer

I always watch films all the way to the end but there are a few times when I regret it, namely:

Hudson Hawk
Hook
XXX
and recently Hollywood Homocide

theres many more but they are what come to mind at the moment.

Clintons Cat

Irreversible,pretentious shite

Yeah, I've read those before. Some are unreal, I can't figure if the one from Audie-T in Holland is a joke or not.
But given that the only positive reviews seem to come from Americans, I'll take it as sarcasm

azezil

Bad boys 2 and the Hulk, turned both of them off after about 40 - 60 minutes.

shotamoose

'Happiness', by Todd Solondz. Dunno if I was really disgusted, I think I just wanted to to retain the will to live and this film was sapping it by the bucketload.

Dr. Loon

Femme Fatale with Antoni Banderas and Rebecca Romijin Stamos. I didn't turn it off but I should have.
Tombraider 2.

RE*AC*TOR

THe Avengers. I think i actually watched about 90% of this and I turned it off about ten/fifteen minutes from the end. I couldn't fathom how a movie could be made that bad.

Kalina

American Pie: The Wedding was so bad I didn't bother watching past the scene where the guys are in the gay bar. I know loads of people found it a halarious movie but I thought it was pathetic, and nowhere near the league of the 1st movie.

i thought that was an excellent film:(

LOL that's a class film!
Its like an Australian Lock Stock heehee

The Hunted.

Absolute disaster of a movie. Bad is in the forest, and he uses his army skills to light a fire and turn a rusty iron bar into a knife. Meanwhile the good guy is fashioning a similiar weapon smashing two rocks together. Bad guy also managed to set up some lovely booby traps in the forest, before escaping to a nearby train (on the roof of course) leading to further excitement.

*shudder*

I watched Veronica Guerin recently on DVD, and I have to say I was absolutely disgusted with it. Not because it was a bad film, but because it was simply very average. Yet to listen to some of the Irish reviews, you'd think it was the greatest film ever made - it even won a bunch of stuff (including Best Film?) at the recent Irish Film and Television Awards. The Smug and Self-Satisfied Backslapping Film Awards more like. Oh and "She does a perfect Irish accent" does not a good film make.

Actually, I nearly choked when I heard the strung-out female heroine addict on the stairwell talking in a D4 accent. FFS. Doesn't the Gaiety School of Acting do a class on authentic skanger accents? Was there no female actor with a real inner-city accent around?

ReefBreak

No wait, change that...the more I think about it, the more I realise it was a bad film. The first half hour concerning The General was completely pointless, the rest of the film was very poor.

Dr Pepper

Saw it last night.. Complete brutality!!
'Legally Blonde 2' and 'Waking the Dead' also spring to mind... and half of the other films I've see in the cinema in recent years. Rubbish!!

edit: opps.. 'Bringing out the Dead' (Nicholas Cage)

Couldn't agree more. What was up with that chicken speech? Benicio Del Torro, hang your head in shame.

Oh and SWAT. God that was awful.

- tch tch, should have waited for the last scene, which contains a truly off the wall bit of humour.

I agree with davidwalsh that the Avengers is muck, I didn't even make it halfway

Lethal Weapon 4

Next Friday, what a disappointment after the brilliance of Friday

my whole experience of viewing that film has left me emotionaly damaged.
i was with my sis in the cinema and 10 mins in the couple beside me started sucking the faces off eachother (cant really blame them though) anyway my sis and i desparately needed to escape from the sicking horror othat was hugh grants foppish acting but to do this we had to get past the face suckers and that wasnt gonna happen.so i clung to my seat in pure terror until my sister realised that you could hear the phantom menance from next door. so we amused ourseleves by doing our best portman impression and saying "i was not elected to watch my people suffer and die" until the horrible train crash of a movie that was notting hill was over. i went to it because of four weddings the word regret dosent even cover it!:eek:

Autumn in New York.
Went to the cinema one time, and there was nothing on, so my girlfriend just picked it, even though its not her kind of film, and i warned her.... spend the first 20 minutes slagging Douglas(or was it Gear?? anyway) slagged it, then left. resulted in my girlfriend being banned from picking films when we go out... self imposed too (she didnt want to be responsible for a repeat).

Legally Blonde 2 was utter tripe.

Oh, and a crap movie I watched on Sky Movies about a week ago, Firefly/Dragonfly or something to that effect. God, it was rubbish!

krattapopov

ive always watched a film to its end....... just have

Pepe LeFrits

i liked femme fatale... the hulk was alright, a little... strange, though.

Senor_Fudge

i was watching caligula with a few friends of mine and they turned it off because there was too much shlongage in it ^_^
i own it and think its great however

Owenw

LOL I misread "shlongage" as "shlong-gauge" for second! *shudder*
The World is Not Enough had to be the most deplorable James Bond film ever with Die Another Day a close second.

I couldn't ever not watch the end of a movie.. against my personal dogma I'm afraid.

Times I have doubted this conviction of mine were watching 'Muriels' Wedding' and the french film called 'Irreversable'.... Though I'm disgusted by them for different reasons.

'Vanilla Sky' however is one of my fav movies.... I'd love to see the original. That movie is the bovril of all movies... either love it or hate it.

Makaveli

Irreversable is backwards though. Surely watching the last 20 minutes is no bother. After the rape scene it's a normal enough film.

xm15e3

Steven King's "Dreamcatcher". WTF!?

Rumplestilsken - Its painful to watch

My ex went on a lengthy rant about this film. I actually quite liked it when I first saw it, but post-rant I couldn't help but agree that it's a pile of poo.

Basically, Julia Roberts treats Hugh Grant like he's nothing more than a piece of **** for most of the film. He's so ****ing upper-class that he can't help but keep coming back for more! And then when we think he's finally copped on that she's ****ing bitch and he's better off without her, he goes right back to her! And she takes him back on condition that she's allowed to be a bitch to him in front of the media! And we're supposed to be happy for him??? WHAT THE ****???


Vanilla Sky was a good film for the most, but then it just stopped making any sense and dragged on for about an hour longer than it should have. And when we finally have the 'Oh NOW I get it!' moment, we've already fallen asleep and just want it to end.

Irreversable is backwards though. Surely watching the last 20 minutes is no bother. After the rape scene it's a normal enough film.

The rape scene is about half way through the movie... the opening part is in the gay club... both were really horrific.... the entire movie though maintained the horror of these scenes because it was shown backwards. It meant you knew that all you were watching would lead to the opening/rape scene so you catch forget about them. Left me funny for ages!

it just stopped making any sense and dragged on for about an hour longer than it should have

It was hardly that conplex.... if you watched it you'd be able to follow it alright. (i wouldn't watch perfect blue if you're losing the plot with Vanilla Sky)

Anyone seen Last Days In Dublin?
That was so bad, it was good:D
Looking forward to seeing Mel Gibson's Jesus show. Shd b a good laugh.

peeps

one of the worst films i paid to see was The Astronauts Wife, now i love johnny depp as much as the next girl but this was utter tripe. i would have left along with the half of the audience that walked out, but i always have to stay to the end "just in case" it gets better.

my secret shame is staying to the end of both batman and robin & the avengers in the cinema. ive learned my lesson. god they were bad.

"once upon a time in mexico"
it was so terrible that after watching i was compelled to tell everybody i knew how brilliant it was in the hopes of sharing my pain. it worked. my brother ended up walking out halfway through...

flogen

add Somethings gotta give there, another choice of my girlfriend (her first choice since the ban was lifted, and needless to say sanctions were re-imposed)

it was as predictable as what happens after eating 2 tonnes of All Bran
as subtle as a train wreck
as enjoyable as piles
it felt like it was 15 hours long
Nickelson was dire (and i like the guy, just wish he'd start acting and give up playing the 60 year old smooth single lady killer)

just a dire piece of trash

Creature

Batman & Robin.


Why?

"you are not sending me to the cooler"

Worst script EVER!

Charlies Angels 2: **** Damn - I can't believe I even lasted 15 mins on this one :dunno:
