Movies that you refuse to watch.

^Cabin Fever is hilarious, man. How can you not love the sheer brilliance that is the "PANCAKES" scene?

Anything made by or starring Eli Roth.

I've never paid to see anything he has had a hand in but i still feel like he owes me two hours of my life back if nothing else after watching Cabin Fever.

I like the Hostel movies. They're fun to watch.

I know it was made as a so-bad-it's-good horror but in some cases an ironically bad horror movie is just bad.

I actually had more fun with the sequel, which wasn't trying so hard to be bad - it just was.
 
That part where the guy's dick was coming off in 2 made me (:_(

Yeah Cabin Fever 2 was a lot of fun. It reminded me of movies like Class of Nuke Em High and Slime City, which were crap films but they had a certain charm to them.

Haven't seen Cabin Fever 3: Patient Zero quite yet but from what little I've heard, it appears to take the more serious route. *SIGH*
 
"Minuscule: Valley of the Lost Ants", or at least its localized version, "Robaczki z zaginionej doliny". Who the hell had the bright idea to take a completely silent film, and add a narration of an old man and his grandson, describing everything that's happening on the screen? And to add insult to the injury, the old man is voice acted by the actor playing the main role in the most popular sitcom in Poland. It cannot be un-heard. Imagine Homer Simpson, or Al Bundy, talking to some random child over a fucking silent movie. There is not a single word uttered in the original. That's completely unnecessary to add narration, it's a movie for children, and I'm sure had the movie been silent as intended, my little brother would have talked to his mom about the events on the screen and get a more interesting experience out of that. Lastly, the narration is often not even related to what's happening in the movie, and includes some gratuitous, unrelated old-timer jokes, like the man calling the red ants "the reds" ("czerwoni" - as in, the commies), and when the grandson asks him at one point where a single red ant is going (it was heading back to its anthill), the man replies that it's going East.

Well, my brother liked the film anyway. I, however, am upset. What a massacre on the original, and a murder on its calm, quiet atmosphere. The narration tramples all over that. It's quite shocking. Did someone think Polish children too stupid to understand a silent movie, and that they need to have everything explained to them, step by step?

EDIT: but here's the best part: the viewers have already made their collective anger heard, and thanks to that, the authors ordered the Polish distributors to re-release the film without the added narration. That's good! Although I don't think the original version was available in the cinema in my town.
 
Man of Steel

This is one of those occasions where, through one source or another, you know the entire plot of a movie before you even see it. And what I heard sounds like shit.
 
This is a pretty obscure B movie, but Nukie looks, and sounds, boring as shit. Unless someone is riffing it, and they are good riffers, I'm not gonna watch Nukie. Nukie looks 100 times worse then Mac and Me. BTW Nukie is an E.T like movie, its South African I think, or at least takes place in, and was shot in South Africa, if I remember right.
 
Innapropriate Comedy (name of the movie by that Shamwow guy, seriously). If you go out of way to offend as many people as possible, you're not worth my time. Frieberg and Seltzer has one thing going, they didn't make THAT movie.

The Shamwow guy got to make a movie? What the fuck?
 
The Notebook.

Maybe it's good, maybe it's not but enough people told me "OMG I CRIED SO MUCH, it's SO GOOD!" that I just made my mind up to never watch it.

He also made one back in like 2000 or 2001 called "The Underground Comedy Movie" or something like that, back way before anyone knew who the hell he was. I don't recommend checking it out.
 
I love The Breakfast Club, but I admit that emotionally, it's a rough film to watch. It does NOT paint a good portrait of humanity. In fact, the universe of the movie is arguably as cut-throat as A Clockwork Orange.

I'm a horror fan myself. But I steer away from torture porn, gore, and rape. I mean that stuff is already horrifying in real life, why make a movie of that? Who the hell kind of sick fuck would enjoy watching that? :C
Probably loveshies.

Speaking for my client, the devil. I'd like to say I didn't have a problem with the Megan is missing ending. I can't say I enjoyed it but you're not really supposed to enjoy it. I just feel like sometimes you have to put some seriously fucked up shit in a movie to get your point across or accomplish an artistic goal. I'm not commenting on what the writers or director's goals/points were. I'm just saying that sometimes art has to imitate life in unsettling ways to get the audience's attention.

Literally only thing I know about you is how much you love The Breakfast Club

You're weird, man :arrow:

Speaking of horrible rape movies, I've never seen "I Spit on Your Grave". That's weird because...I'm a HUGE fan of Camille Keaton and have seen at least 8 of her films (including all the incredibly rare and obscure Italian films she did). I guess it's because I heard that the rape scenes are long and drawn out which is not something I want to see. Some time in the future, I might check it out. I have, however, seen "Savage Vengeance", a HILARIOUSLY bad 'sequel' to ISOYG which also stars Keaton!


The rape scenes aren't that bad. I won't spoil it but theres a scene in the bathtub thats pretty rough though,

I think you're reading a little too far into it. The Breakfast Club's portrayal of teenage life is bleak but it's nowhere near dystopian. It's actually very much grounded in reality and a very fitting deconstruction of stock highschool characters.

Doesn't seem that bad, actually. I doubt it would scar me more than Putrid Sex Object and 3 Guys 1 Hammer did.

And theres my pic for shit I won't watch. I don't know if it counts as a movie per se but fuck everything about that shit I won't watch it.

I haven't even watched 2 girls 1 cup.
 
I refuse to watch Scott Pilgrim.

I've never read the comics, but I know the general premise. But it seems like the movie was made in the height of the media's current put-horn-rimmed-glasses-on-people-and-call-them-nerds-to-get-nerd-money nonsense. And what infuriates me is when people wonder why I don't like the movie, because "you're so smart and into nerd stuff!" (They are likewise flabbergasted that I don't like the Big Bang Theory. Since, you know, all smart people are supposed to fit into one mold of bullshit.)
