'kay, let's go for another round of suggesting what *not* to do. This time, for watching movies.
The other thread on books seems to be going well despite mentions of both Twilight and the Bible, so I will simply ask y'all not to derail the thread. I can't think of any movies that would, but maybe you can. Just be polite (to us, not the movie). Feel free to tear the movie to shreds.
My first suggestion is Good Luck Chuck. I thought it would be a knowingly raunchy yet pleasing sex comedy with a few boobie shots and a happy ending. Instead, it was obscenely, offensively vulgar, the boobie shots all made me feel like a filthy creep for even being in the theater, and instead of a happy ending, we get to watch Chuck gradually emotionally destabilize into a stalker. Whose behavior actually seems to be rewarded (by the plot). This movie was not only bad, it was offensive.
BTW - I heard someone mention in the book thread that Wanted (the comic book) was pretty offensive too. I was thinking about picking up the movie. Can anyone suggest why I should not do that? I wouldn't want to waste my time and money on offensive crap. Again.
Thanks
