Who makes you completely avoid a movie or tv show?

    Had a look at tonight's movie offerings on tv, and there is one called 'Obsession', I automatically discounted it. Looked it up on metacritic and it has 25%, system works.

    It stars Beyonce.

    There is a long list of people that will automatically and usually correctly make me discount a movie ****, or only be in **** movies - and some who also whose face just annoys me.

    I'll add to this as we go as I am sure you are keen for constant updates.

    If the following are in a movie , it will most likely be utterly be gash or at minimum: it will be ****tier for their awkward presence:

    Any rapper at all: 50 cent, icey cube, ...the rest
    Justin Timberlake
    Beyonce (not that I have seen any)
    Any popstar probably
    Reece whatherface
    Bridget jones ****
    Sarah horseface
    Those annoying cunce from mike and molly - the show about sitcom about a morbidly obese couple
    Tom Cruise
    Anything Adam Sandler touches (aside from maybe 3 movies 10-20 years ago)
    Anything Christian Slater goes near
    Any **** Johnny Depp does since 20 years ago
    Tobey Maguire
    Elijah wood
    Anything with Vin Diesel (actual name: Mark Sinclair).
    I permanently look I'm staring at the sun: Josh Hartnett, also talentless.
    Sean Penn - the man should grow some stubble, his clean shaven look makes him look like a 70 year old woman these days, probably not helped by him playing women.
    Actually any movie where one person protrays someone from the opposite gender, it's a gimmick and they look creepy.
    Anything that geebag M. Night Shyamalan does

    I could go on.
    This has been cathartic, thank you.

    Nothing. I genuinely watch everything on it's merits. Can't abide Amy Schumer for example, but went to see Trainwreck. Sometimes you'll just be confirming what you already thought, for sure, but oftentimes, if you let your previous opinions on someone influence what you choose to watch, you might just miss a gem.

    All of them.

    Alan Smithee.

    Nearly every film he's made that I've seen has been crap.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,628 ✭✭✭Señor Fancy Pants


    Any TV show that features a person that is only famous for being famous.

    Most "reality" type TV shows.

    Film wise, anything with nudity in it, if I wanted to see nakedness I just wouldn't get dressed in the morning. Bunch of perverts the lot of ye.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,116 ✭✭✭RDM_83 again


    Wes Anderson, Woody Allen and Kevin Smith.

    God I hate whimsy with a passion and Kevin Smith stuff just isn't funny. Also all the characters in each of their films seem strangely obnoxious even when your meant to be sympathetic too them


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 714 ✭✭✭PlainP


    Has to be Adam Sandler.

    Kristen Stewart.
    Eddie Murphy.
    Ray Liotta (in too many films!!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,962 ✭✭✭✭dark crystal


    Johnny Depp. He stopped making films of any merit about ten years ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Mary Kennedy. She really grates on me.

    Dermot Whelan, he always seems both smug and unfunny. And the red-haired chap who is/was on The Republic on the Telly, Bernard I think. Just unfunny and a bit annoying.
    And of course Jennifer Maguire. She just seems like an unpleasant individual.
    Actually, lump in the whole RTÉ Comedy Department.

    Spaceships

    Anything where the plot involves "the troubles" in Northern Ireland.

    Yeah I'm looking at you Mickey Rourke ya plastic faced eejit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,797 ✭✭✭Sir Osis of Liver.


    That Steve Martin is an awful pain in the hole.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,145 ✭✭✭Katgurl


    Any movie in which a child or a dog plays a pivotal role (except ET and The Neverending Story).

    Cartoons / animation.

    James Bond.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭NachoBusiness


    It's quite fashionable to hate on Sandler for some reason.
    Don't get it myself and I disliked 90% of his films.

    Hugh Grant ... c.unt

    Any film with a dog where it can reasonably be expected that it'll die before the end :(.

    Also any superhero film churned out on the Marvel/DC conveyer belt.

    Always the same stories, just the costume changes. Generic doesn't even begin to cover it. Last good superhero film I saw starred Christopher Reeve.

    Kiera Knightley. I don't actively dislike her but if I saw a movie on that she was starring in, odds are, I'm not watching that movie.

    At least with that I was too distracted by being scared to be very sad.

    But every time I watch it I'm still relieved when the Norwegians don't manage to shoot the dog/thing at the start.

    It's due to fashion, it's because he makes the same increasingly **** movie 1.5 times per year. He also could attempt some good movies/interesting roles if he wanted I imagine, I think he is capable of it but clearly doesn't give a bollox.

    His unfunny cunce friends he puts in every **** movie can all **** off too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    jeez I really can't stomach most of the cunce mentioned. Think I need to make peace and try to like them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,554 ✭✭✭Pat Mustard


    Woody Allen

    I can't stand Woody Allen films. I don't think he ever made a film that I could watch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,040 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover
