Movies you found were incredibly hard to watch

[Vausch]

I'm probably going to be burned at the stake for this but... Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. I honestly just didn't find it that entertaining, I really don't see what moviebob fell in love with so much that he proclaimed it would be the one film that defined this generation.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and mine is that I hate you now.

I kid, but often times when a person really likes something it makes little sense to them why anybody else wouldn't.

Scott Pilgrim was liked by me (and I assume Moviebob, I won't speak for him) because it was just so different yet familiar. It's the kind of world people like me would love to be in, where video game logic is just an everyday occurrence. Also it was a romantic teen comedy that didn't focus completely on sex and drinking and putting their parts in holes while also being very funny because of the off-handed or direct references to things we enjoy.

I don't think I'd go so far as to say that film alone would define this generation, but I do think it would be in the group.

Scott Pilgrim, 7 minutes in I felt I was getting dumber by the second, OMFG i'll never get those 7 minutes back.

I loved Scott Pilgrim. I know I shouldn't have, but I just found myself smiling the whole movie. And that's a good feeling.

Never before has a movie emotionally destroyed quite like Moon did. I've never cried during a film, until Moon.

I can't watch it again. I own it. I loved it. I look at the case every now and then, wondering to myself, "is today the day I watch it again?". I don't think that day will ever come though. I just can't.

You are a good man. Moon was simply a masterpiece.

It's always really hard for me to watch the end of Marley and Me. It was especially difficult for me the first time I saw it since my dog had died the week before.

I love the guy too, I mean I can't think of that many people to play Captain Britain (god willing) and I was trying to like it but 20 minutes in I was in physical pain! I kept coming back because I kept thinking "the worst part has to be over, it just has to b- why are they in Kaiju suits?!"

He kissed the stripper and I said "Done!" I had to turn it off at that point...I don't know if it got any better after that, and I sure as fuck don't care to find out.

It didn't. Between the jabbering Asian hooker that was like Short Round but somehow MUCH more annoying and this one scene involving a psychiatrist having an orgasm as this guy describes how he's going to improve his life before getting shot in the head by a ricocheting bullet, it just kept getting worse and worse.

I can't really think of any movies, mostly because I block out the ones I hate, but I'll put a special mention in for TV shows: Anything on Adult Swim that ISN'T Family Guy, American Dad, or Robot Chicken.
And seeing as the first two are technically not even Adult Swim shows, basically the entire AS line-up except for Robot Chicken.

 

[redspud]

Black Swan. Only one scene I found watchable and I don't think I have to explain myself.

 

[lacktheknack]

The original Hangover. I got coerced into watching it with my friends, many opinions were damaged and I now solemnly swear NEVER to watch comedies with my friends again.

 

[blankedboy]

Superbad

not a bad film..just not to my taste

I was gritting my teeth the whole way through think...uhhh I just want to watch somthing else, I dont like this shit

Transformers "why cant everyone just calm the fuck down and explain things to each other?"

28 weeks later "oh fucking great, this feels soo americanised, the army are being dicks...but not in the intersting way presented in the first one..in the SHOOT SHOOT TRADGEDY! way"

Crossroads...was actually fun to watch just to make fun of

Eh? What didn't you like about Crossroads?

 

[philzibit]

2001: A Space Odyssey. The pacing by today's standards is slow as shit. I can appreciate it, but I can find a lot of reasons to avoid watching it.

Citizen Kane. I feel it was built up to much and saying it's over-rated is an understatement.

Natural Born Killers. It's just a fucking dumb movie. It's like a Nickelodeon show with gore.



Of course, I know they're will be plenty of people who disagree with me.

 

[funguy2121]

"The Human Centipede"....enough said, that film is.....is.....I don't even want to know what the writer was thinking, nor do I want to know how the actors felt doing those roles. Its not as gruesome as I thought it would be based on what people told me, but it didn't need to be, it was disgusting as it was :/

So yes, name some movies you found hard to watch for some reason or another, either particular scenes or the entire movie.

Did you watch the deleted scene where the psycho dances? Apparently it "makes" the film.

 

[jdogtwodolla]

I love you man

I cringe while watching people make asses out of themselves (besides the jackass people) and the "slapin da bass mon" scene was the hardest thing to sit through.

 

[pearcinator]

I couldn't watch Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift because I couldn't stand the main characters voice and his character was a total unlikable douchebag.

I couldn't finish Juno because it just screamed 'chick-flick' and I was so bored watching it.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

The Room. It's bad and awkward. I was cringing through most of it. Luckily, I didn't pay to see it.

 

[Calax]

X-Men Origins Wolverine

Paul Blart Mall Cop (That's the first and only movie I've walked out of thus far)

Amazons and Gladiators (Think a cheap knockoff of Rome and/or Gladiator... Only thing that made me keep watching it was the fact that women went topless every so often and I was 14 when I saw it)

I'm probably going to be burned at the stake for this but... Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. I honestly just didn't find it that entertaining, I really don't see what moviebob fell in love with so much that he proclaimed it would be the one film that defined this generation.

I don't think I'd go so far as to say that film alone would define this generation, but I do think it would be in the group.

Basically, you liked it because it was a teen movie without going being Superbad? (This is going off Superbad's previews as I found the movie wayyy to stupid to actually WATCH just from the previews)

OT: I've always had trouble sitting through those torture porn flciks. I kinda force myself, since I pretty much watch every movie that comes out in theatres.

Oh, that made me think of one. All of the Jackass movies. Also, thank you for reminding me of that scene. I actually like that movie, but that scene...

 

[Waaghpowa]

So far for me it's Anything "American Pie" and anything by Sacha Baron Cohen.

 

[KanHanderan]

Monty Python's Life of Brian. Sure, there's quotable lines ("Romani i domo"), but it is no where near the level of Holy Grail, where practically every line can be quoted. I just didn't find it funny, even in a blackly humorous way.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Scott Pilgrim, 7 minutes in I felt I was getting dumber by the second, OMFG i'll never get those 7 minutes back.

That was an odd case of movie. It was polarizing to the point where "average" has yet to be applied to its description, for whatever reason.

My personal worst was the movie "Barnyard". I'm not entirely sure why I saw it, as I jeered it from the first commercial. It was free tickets or something, and I only didn't get up and leave out of my intense apathy.
Besides the numerous anatomical mistakes with the animals (I let them take liberties, but udders on dude cows is a little odd...), the most it made me do was chuckle at one scene, but I don't even remember it, and I had no other emotions.

 

[Dash-X]

Movies I've had a hard time watching?

Terminator
Terminator II
Any of the Die Hard movies

I don't know why, but whenever I try to watch them, I always fall dead asleep in the middle. THAT'S why they're difficult for me to watch.
