Movies you couldn't even finish

Finding Neverland

Libertine (who on earth forced me to watch this 🙂)
There’s going to be blood (just fast forward through the 😬)
I haven't even managed to sit through the entirety of Gone with the Wind once... 🤣
nor have I ever finished a single James Bond
let alone the Lord of the Rings (though I think I caught two of the sequels)
or The Matrix

There are plenty more, I just can't recall them all right now... 😁

So, something absolutely tragic happened to me yesterday. I was watching this old 70s Italian horror thriller Giornata (basically Black Day for Sheep) starring Franca Nero, and the stream cut out just five minutes before the end... right at the moment where Nero finally grabs the killer and starts pulling off the hood. Turns out my RS stream was just broken; even trying to patch it with a VLC fixer did nothing. So, if anyone has actually seen this movie, just shoot me a private message with the killer's identity. That’s all I want. 😁

Scarface, nodding off right when Lopez starts talking about loyalty 😁

Kum - honestly, those gangster vibes just aren't my thing, but I gave him a fair shake out of pure respect. Ended up turning it off after thirty minutes because, frankly, I was bored to tears.
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle - absolutely pathetic...

It is quite rare for me to actually turn off a movie mid-stream, but today was an exception; I reached the halfway point of my second film and simply decided to call it quits.

1. 60 Million Dollar Man - one of those numerous parodies starring Stephen Chow, but much like From Beijing with Love, this one was utterly unwatchable.
2. So I Married an Axe Murderer - despite being labeled a "hilarious" comedy in several places, I was expecting something a bit more engaging than a total sedative.

"Mad Max" - she got up to pee, made a sandwich, and eventually just shut off the TV with a laugh.
If nothing else, Gibsonić is quite young, and pretty good-looking.😂

The Godfather is trying way too hard to be important—it’s incredibly pretentious, there’s hardly any actual action, and on top of all that, it drags on for three whole hours. What a lovely way to watch your Saturday night vanish into thin air, right?

So you decided to dig up half a dozen dead threads just so you could trash The Godfather...😁
I love seeing people this fired up about nothing.☕

man, I love and other drugs🙂

Battle Royale, any transformer, Trainspotting, or even Bond...

hahaha, not really—I am simply exploring various cinematic topics in general. 😁

Hopefully we've actually gained a decent cinephile here on the forum.😉

Feeling blue
I’ve already flipped the switch on and off a few times after about 20 minutes 🤷
Gonna give it one more shot...

Look, if it hasn't grabbed you by the third viewing, it's probably not going to happen. It’s one of those movies where it’s either love at first sight or you just can't stand to watch it.

Last on the list: (500) Days of Summer.
It’s just like most romantic comedies... something catches my eye, I start watching, and then I simply can't bring myself to sit through to the end.

Just try to hang in there until the end.
It’s definitely not your typical, cookie-cutter romantic comedy.

So, I ended up at the local AMC over in a small town outside of Philly with some buddies to catch that new movie. Honestly? About halfway through, I just couldn't take it anymore—I basically jumped out of my seat and bailed. It was just way too slow for me, and I guess it just didn't really live up to the hype I was expecting.

The Killer Inside me - what a morbidly ridiculous movie!

Sure, the movie is pretty twisted, but I wouldn't call it stupid.
I'd give it a solid 6.5/10.
