In reply to the discussion: Ever watch a movie that was so bad you couldn't finish it? [View all]frogmarch
(12,251 posts)2. Offhand I can’t think of
any movies on TV Ive become bored or disgusted with and stopped watching them, but I always read the onscreen guide blurbs about them before I tune them in. I avoid movies whose blurbs have drug kingpin in them or to hunt down the person who killed his or her partner/wife/husband/friend/parents/sister/ brother/family. I dont watch movies that I think will contain a lot of violence or excessive profanity, and if I think a movie will include the death of an animal, I wont watch it either.
I loved The Weight of Water, but I can see why it wouldnt appeal to everyone.
The movie had almost too much gore and violence for me, but by the time it appeared I was hooked on the movie, so I ewwwed my way through it.

The worst movie ever IMO, but I got through it with much use of the FF button

I should've realized that movie was going to be boring when the book itself was boring as hell

The animated movie "Doogle". Really bad, and Jon Stewart did one of the voices!

Top Gun...a macho barf-fest; although trying to pass off American F-5 fighters as Migs was cute.

Not so many, as I tend to be pretty fussy about what I watch in the first place; BUT
