I'm usually pretty good at detaching my real feelings from a fictional movie, even if I'm fried when I'm watching (which is typical for me). But two movies that I can recall actually put me in a very bad mood. I don't mean they disturbed me or made me think about harsh realities -- they just made me twist up my face and yell WTF???!!!

I don't think I could hold a calm conversation with anyone who praises:

1. "In the Company of Men"
2. "The Royal Tenenbaums"

The first is pretty simple. It glorifies machismo and suggests that when hatching an evil plan, evildoers who are evil to the bitter end will end up the winners, while pinkos who go soft and second guess their evil doings will lose. Neitszche, with his idea of the master and slave, would love this movie. I have a lot of issues with people who use people, and so this movie offended me on principle.

The second one is harder to explain. It just naturally provoked an angry reaction from me. I feel like the writer/director was mocking me the audience -- constantly begging for my attention while actually wasting my time, and having the last laugh about it.

I am also angered by reviewers of The Royal Tenenbaums, who claim I'm too dense, or too addicted to flashy Hollywood flicks, or not sardonic enough, to appreciate it. Horseshit. I'm a huge fan of independent and offbeat works, and have been able to appreciate lots of movies that most people I know just didn't get. But in this one, the emperor has no fuckin clothes. End of story.
 
I didn't like Indecent Proposal. It disturbed me for weeks after. I was angered that they didn't give the ending of the movie more of a resolution for me.

I also like to pretend that Thelma and Louise went off that cliff and lived somehow. That movie never settled with me right because of the ending. Perhaps they landed in a tree, i dunno. But in my Thelma and Louise ending they are off living happliy ever after in Mexico where they are lovers.

^^^^^
Thats fiction? %)
 
Midnight Express, because it portrays Turkish people as sub-humans. Everybody talks about this movie when I say that I am from Turkey. It just disturbs me, beleive me we have no relation to way Turkish people were in this movie. And the prisons are not like that either, I have been tothem by the way.
 
Mulholland Drive
I know there are a lot of David Lynch fans out there but this movie did nothing but shit me to tears.
Confusing, drawn out and far too long.


House of 1000 Corpses
Terrible editing, pointless add-ins just to make the film *bizarre*, bad acting, irritating ending ugh. UGH. I felt violated after this movie and as if I had been robbed.

You shoud've watched a Rob Zombie or White Zombie video before watching House of 1000 Corpses! That's what a typical music video would look like.

Anyhow, I'll take what you said and make it better....

Donnie Darko
Terrible editing, pointless add-ins just to make the film *bizarre*, bad acting, irritating ending ugh. UGH. I felt violated after this movie and as if I had been robbed.
 
Baise Moi: the whole thing was just appalling. Not from a moral point of view, from an artistic one. It would have garnered precisely zero attention were it not for the hype caused by religious groups trying to get it banned. It was a pointless mess with only one redeeming feature, its brevity. No-one involved is fit to be in the same room as someone like Tarantino.

I disliked Forrest Gump as well. With the implications that the real bad guys in America in the 1960s were the anti-war movement, and with the way any woman who displayed sexuality ended up suffering. And the way Forrest was made out to be some kind of hero for being dumb and never questioning anything. Very sinister film.
 
The Quest with jean claud van damm. The whole movie was a complete rip-off of another one of his movies, Bloodsport. What made me angry was that he produced the movie himself, and he just blatantly ripped off someones story without giving them any credit. I laughed when I heard he got sued over it, there were like no differences at all between the scripts.
 
Dancer In The Dark made me so angry throughout the first half of it that I was sitting there in the cinema with a scowl on my face and my arms folded...there was such blatant emotional button-pushing in this movie, it was on the same level as a Disney movie..."this is the pure faultless heroine, this is the evil American bad guy". To the director's credit he manages to make that work incredibly well (it's one of my favourite films now), but it pissed me off until it actually began working on me.

The only movie that's made me angry enough to want to walk out though was Star Wars:Episode 1 with its hardcore racist subtext. The only reason I stayed was that we were seeing it as a birthday thing for one of my friends and we ended up having a massive argument about it afterwards anyway...
 
Good call on Forrest Gump! I found this just a feel good movie for nostalgic nationalistic Americans. I can't understand how it made some people cry. It's a story that keeps alive that great American lie -- that in America, the dumb man with heart and dignity is just as capable and bound for success as the smart man. I think we Americans are very threatened by the idea that some people are in line ahead of others just because they're more intellectually capable.

The new Star Wars movies are a disgrace to the name Star Wars.

I used to like David Lynch. I still like his earlier movies. But I have the same problem with him that I have with Quentin Tarantino: Creepiness and artistic violence don't say anything, and don't constitute entertainment. There has to be some sort of engaging plot.
 
star wars episode two angered me even more than episode one... a bigger disappointment and disgrace to the orginal trilogy
but who expected a love story to be such a large part of star wars, perhaps that is why i have this view

i'm totally with you on that :)

generally though, i'm not the type to get angry as such at a film, but more at its audience. obviously this is just when it's so bad that i want to cry, but everyone goes to see it anyway. that just stresses me out :)

but i guess i could think of a couple, if i tried really hard ;)

coyote ugly
just for the pure fact that it really didn't even try to be a real movie, in any sense of the word. it took the most horribly derivative of stories and added a whole bunch of pretty girls and alcohol, and voila, expected the public to flock to it, and love it. and they did. stupid cunts :(

the others
omg, worst script ever. this was so shameful, yet so lauded at the same time. it made me angry purely for the fact that kidman managed to do a pretty reasonable job, it wasn't filmed (in terms of its cinematography) too badly, and the kids were quite acted...yet it still sucked massive amounts of dick. i really hated it :(

werd shouzerpuff.... but my reason is I whispered to my friend what I thought the catch was in the film at the beginning.... I said it half-jokingly ending with "if i'm right I'm going to be PISSED". Still am today.


Another film that pissed me off was Bowling for Columbine but let's not bring that up again ;)
 
pi- i expected there to be more of an ending than the dude killing himself. that was a real disappointment. he figured out the number then kills himself. with the hype i read about, i expected some real big shocking/creative ending
 
the stand- the book and the movie. i cannot believe the ending. i feel such fury and indignation that king can write 900 pages of plot/have six hours of movie and wrap it all up neat and tidy with the fucking hand of god. i felt like it was a complete jip and cop out... like he got tired 99% of the way through and just wrote the easiest and most expedient ending

How is Starwars1 racist? Let alone "hardcore racist"?

Just wondering....:\
 
Nothing...no movie has ever really pissed me off. Sometimes i sort of disagree with what it might imply (Boondock Saints) but no well made movie ever did that. And even so, if a movie has good special effects, violence, or sex, it is somewhat redeemed.
 
Gee...this seems awfully familiar to the thread regarding Movies that you hate/think are worthless.

Regarding the initial poster's hatred for The Royal Tenenbaums...you're definitely not alone. While most seem to have enjoyed the film, there is the hardcore minority of haters for this Wes Anderson flick.

Personally, I enjoyed it, but I definitely can understand why people would be turned off by it. I guess I'm just a Wes Anderson mark, as I've loved all of his films for his subtle humor and style. Did you like any of his previous work? (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore)
