    I'm trying to think of one.. But I really only see movies I'm sure I'll like, so this rarely happens. I'll keep racking my brain.

    This is really digging, showing my age ... Woodstock.

    The music was fabulous but the movie? I was so totally alienated. Woodstock, at least in the movie, was totally a man's world. Men made music, built the stage, battled the rain, talked to local residents, were interviewed for the flick. Women cooked, fucked, took care of children. I don't recall a single woman participant speaking on screen and the only female performer they showed was Joan Baez, talking about her husband. And some of my friends were acting like it was some kind of utopia but I just said no thanks. The movie was Father Knows Best in tie-dye.

    The Hangover 2 was really bad... Essentially the same movie.

    A friend had recommended Swingers a lot. May have been the most boring movie I have ever seen.

    Hated these the first time and they grew on me over time:

    Zoolander
    Napoleon dynamite
    Super troopers

    Maybe that's because the first "prequel" offered almost nothing of depth to fans of the originals, instead sticking to fancy CGI shots, inconsistent (and unlikeable) characters, and cheap, gross-out scare tactics?

    They must have put all the substance in the second prequel.

    On a different note, I think I'm gonna run out and rent Undefeated. Looks good.

    I really wanted to like We Are Marshal (or maybe it was just called Marshal).

    But it lacked an emotional punch (I did like Radio, even as cheesy as it was at times).

    I don't think Janis Joplin was there - she certainly was not in the flick.

    Sideways was annoying. Safety Not Guaranteed wasn't half as good as I was hoping, and when the thing happened that you wanted to happen, you realized you were stupid for wanting it to happen.

    Batman Begins was unbelievably tedious. The Dark Knight was marginally better but it must be the most overrated movie in the history of time. Yeah, Heath Ledger is great. But he's only actually on screen for about 1/3 of the film, and the rest of the time is tedious and underlit. I haven't even bothered with the third one. What's the point, if the Penguin isn't going to be in it?

    The drugs must have been too much for you. But she was not in the original movie release.

    What a horrific pile of shit this ended up being. I thought it might be a satire flick like an Oliver Stone Natural Born Killers, or even a campy comedy that could make fun of itself. Instead, it was about ... what, exactly? I watched it because it is a Harmony Korine movie, so I thought it might be at the level of Kids. Instead, it may well be the worst movie I've seen in recent memory. Sharknado was more enjoyable by a longshot.

    The only reason I watched the entire movie was because James Franco did his usual stellar job.
