Ever hated a film so much.....

...that you threw it away?

The two I did this with are the horror that is Diana and The Adventures of Tintin: the former was OK in parts but I am a Tintin fanboy and I hated the latter.

What was it you hated so much about the Tintin movie? In America we have only limited exposure to Tintin's adventures; I haven't seen most of the books since I was a child, and they were old then (I got a few of them when the local library discarded them). So I can't say I'm a fanboy exactly, but I did enjoy the books I saw. The recent movie seemed reasonably true to the spirit of the books to me. I know it mixed a couple of the books together, but that is Hollywood.

I've come close to throwing away a couple of movies, but I gave them away instead. One that I gave away because it just ticked me off was 2012. The basic lesson I took away from that movie was to stay away from John Cusack, because wherever he goes, destruction follows on a grand scale, and only he and his family will escape. Those escapes were so ridiculous that I just got angry that the producers of that dreck expected me to suspend my disbelief so far.

Pretty much everything - the way the books were mashed together and mangled, villains becoming good guys and vice versa, the animation (the film should have been live action) and the fact that a Tintin fanboy (Steven Spielberg) made this dreck.

The only good thing about it was Sir Peter Jackson's "audition" as Captain Haddock on the DVD special features.  :bouncegiggle:

I've never thrown a movie away.  I've gotten rid of them by trading them away.  The one example that sticks out in my mind is Napoleon Dynamite
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
I grew up thinking it was a really good movie and then I watched it at the age of about 25. I realized how god-awful it is. So I took it to the used movie place and they wouldn't take it. So I hucked it out the window ala Shaun of the Dead.

In a related story I bought it about 3 months ago so we could do a podcast episode on it. Got it off Amazon for $.50. So this movie now owes me $20.49.

There are a few in my collection that deserve that treatment, but oh well.   :smile:  The only one's I've tossed were because they were unplayable.  I had a copy of Shark Attack 2 but the guy peeled the rental sticker off the disk, leaving the top of it full of glue so it adhered itself to the inside of my DVD player  :hatred:

I hated that move so much I snapped it after I watched it and threw it out.

One time I was in the now gone Delihaus in Kenmore Square Boston and Jon Spencer Blues Explosions "Bell Bottoms" came on. I hated it so much I almost had a nervous breakdown. I loved his previous band p***y Galore but the Explosion wasn't my style to say the least

I felt like doing that Envy starring Jack Black and Ben Stiller. Man, that was such an awful let down. Instead I just donated it to a church yard sale. I hated Clerks 2 quite a lot as well but thankfully I didn't own that dreck.

:thumbup: don't blame you, that movie has the most cringeworthy dialogue I've ever witnessed in any movie. so pretentious it made me want to punch myself in the ears for even hearing it

funny, I quite liked JSBE for about 6 months then I realised they were a total 1-trick pony. not listened to them since!

Trevor, you actually threw away Diana?  As much as I disliked it as a movie, I very much liked the cinematography, and am hoping to score a cheap copy to study.   :teddyr:

I'm a terrible hoarder of some things.  I'd never throw away a movie unless the disc rotted or something.

zombie - it's weird so did I. something about that song which from their then new follow up album just didn't work for me. in a big way.

AJ- that's one of those movies that looks historically accurate and powerfully boring

Olivia Bauer

If it was historically accurate I wouldn't hate it as much.

It's an exploitation of tragic event and that's all.
