Movies you just didn't finish?

[The Burgomaster]

Rebecca

Please say it isn´t true . . . this is a great movie.

[Psycho Circus]

Rebecca

True. Same with the book, neither held my interest.

[WingedSerpent]

Superbad

I was 30 minutes into this movie wwhen I stopped.  I found it more boring that funny.

[Doggett]

The Messengers - A haunted house film. If it doesn't have the fun of Poltergeist or the chills of The Innocents...then I just don't want to know. Silly CGI nonsense with scares that I'm sure we've all seen in a million other films.

My Little Eye. - It's Big (boring) Brother.

[D-Man]

Heaven's Gate immediately comes to mind.  It was very well crafted and all, but it had the pace of a Romero zombie.  Plus, who the hell uses mandolin music for the score of a Western?

For me the downfall was a piece my wife pulled up from netflix called "Rachel getting married".  To save you pain suffice to say it is about a dysfunctional family in which one of the sisters comes out of rehab in time to go to her sisters wedding.  I don't know what happens at the wedding because we never got that far, after the half hour of "real time" footage of the rehearsal dinner the family went home and rachel announced she was pregnant (poor kid) I begged my wife to end the pain.  To my surprise she agreed saying she didn't know the movie would be this goodawful and we threw the wrteched thing back into the mailbox with disgust in hope that something which does not suck would return to us from the ether of netflix.  The movie has that akward "realism" feel like watching home movies of a family that all secretely hate eachother but it always stays within that quiet, loathing stage. There was only one thing that could have saved this film... a horder of zombies to lustily snack on the main characters until there was not a single one left. Unfortunately that didn't happen and there was no indication that this was pending...  Where's the zombies when you need them most?

Miami Vice.

It was on ITV2 last night...saw about an hour...it was alright. Not as bad as I thought it would be...but I just couldn't get into it. I'm willing to give it another ago.

Coraline is a great movie!

Anyway, like many of you, I pride myself on being able to finish any movie. I've sat through incredibly boring movies, even if it took several sessions. I've also sat through completely disgusting and stupid trash like Feed. (Don't watch Feed, it's awful.)

The only recent movie I had to turn off was Period Piece, and even as bad as it was I kick myself for.

Period Piece is pure garbage. I've read a lot of defenses of the film, which try to portray it as something it is not. For example, the head review on IMDb says it is "the best portrayal of the loneliness that our so called civilized world drives many unique persons to if they are no longer of any use."

If you want to know what happens in this movie, well it is basically loving close-ups of a senior citizen's junk, extended sequences of men raping plush dolls with cans of baked beans, and even more extended sequences of mentally challenged homeless men expounding on all their favorite porn in the most obscene manner possible. I suppose you could graft high-minded ideas to this garbage, but all I saw was a geek-show. A geek-show dedicated to mocking its protagonists, reprehensible as they are.

Just the worst thing I've seen trying to pass itself off as a movie. I stopped it after a long forty minutes, more out of boredom than disgust. Pure garbage. Of course, I still kick myself for breaking my resolve to finish every movie I ever start. If any of you ever finish this, I'll do it. Don't start it though. There's nothing good here.

The first part of the millenium trilogy, boooooring...zzz...

Surrogates. In this film, Bruce Willis' surrogate has the same hairdresser of Nicolas Cage.

Pandorum. I love "dead space" videogame, but this one was sooo boring too.

"Sukiyaki Western Django"

Since I like spaghetti westerns, Tarantino movies, and cheesy Asian cinema, I thought this movie would be a sure thing.  I rented it from Netflix and tried to watch it today.  What little of it I sat through was so painfully retarded that I had the disc sealed back in the envelope and ready to go less than 10 minutes after I inserted it into the DVD player.

I can pretty much tolerate any movie, good or bad. At the moment though, I'm having a tough time getting through PENITENTIARY 2. Seeing mr.t helps,but an ex boxer/ex con who is now a rollerskating messenger on wheels makes it had to take the movie seriously.

[Criswell]

This sound cliche but ANY chick flick

I was watching that with friends and we made fun of it..  If I'd been watching it alone, I also would have turned it off.  Rest assured you didn't miss much, it's an AWFUL film.
