FWIW, I have never seen a single ROCKY movie and have no desire to.

I like that CoPilot threw in an astronaut playing the drums.

I don't fear getting flamed for talking about movies.

Sometimes I will review movies positively and get flamed because I didn't praise them enough (this has happened to me with "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Songs from the Second Floor," "Enter the Void," and some others I can't recall.)

this is the only place I talk about films online, but I think like Trevor said it's pretty much friendly banter here  so I feel I can occasionally take potshots at some 'sacred cows' without being atom bombed.

No worries. Nobody will ever know your hate for District 9 online! 

13 for me: I actually walked out of District 9 and demanded my money back. Got it too.

I think I am totally on my own when I say that I dislike The Shining, District 9 and Invictus

Invictus and District 9

District 9 (aside from Sharlto Copley's performance, this is a horrible film)

I only watched Elysium to give SA born filmmaker Neill Blomkamp another chance after the poo pile that was District 9.

I hated District 9 for various reasons. I actually walked out and demanded my money back.

I also never quite understood the appeal of DISTRICT 9 but I did like CHAPPIE.

District 9 (I hated this movie and I wasn't the only one here who did)

I actually walked out of District 9 when I realized what I was watching was nothing more than a thinly disguised anti-South African diatribe from a born South African who must have had a really crappy childhood here.

CHAPPIE (After District 9, no thanks and what is my beautiful flag doing on the shoulder of an ugly robot?)

DISTRICT 9 (anti-South African garbage disguised as a sci-fi film)

Neil Blomkamp must have had a really crappy childhood in South Africa: my theory is that his films District 9 and Elazyium are anti-South African diatribes. 

he passed away last year but he was a damn good filmmaker. Until District 9 came along

Neil Blomkamp's District 9 was an anti South African film disguised (not well) as a sci-fi action film.

If the SA public feels that District 9 is yet another faint reminder of their supposedly unique past, this film will bomb at the local box-office. Many anti-South African films such as A Dry White Season and Catch A Fire among others, crashed,  burned and slid right down the crapper here.

I get asked this all the time and I always say that I love movies like The Shining, the 1973 Lost Horizontally, District 9, Chappie, Invictus and things like Cry Freedom and Lethal Weapon 2 😉😉

I walked out of District 9, Invictus and Master Harold & The Boys halfway through: I got my money back for the first two.

I have also never gotten the hype and acclaim that DISTRICT 9 has gotten over the years.

People know how I feel about DISTRICT 9.

I think ol' Trevor's repeated not-so-subliminal messages over the years might be solely responible for me having never seen DISTRICT 9.... every time I see the dvd on a shelf I'm like, hmmm naah... I mean there's no real logical reason why I haven't checked it out yet....

Hilarious.

RUSH = early 90s drug thriller?
I absolutely hated it the one time I watched it on VHS. In retrospect, I think the intentions were serious and noble, but the (one-and-done, iirc) director wasn't capable of delivering a serious, challenging, good film instead of a boring, overwrought, frustrating mess.

The only films I try [sic] not to talk about online are those born out of such hatred or meanness or bad faith or mental illness that I feel like even acknowledging them will only grant them more power. Still I stumble at times in this effort.
