Name some douchy irritating movies

[UnPRePared]

I wasn’t even sure it was one. Just seems odd to criticize a children’s movie for sucking. “Those Santa Claus movies with Tim Allen make ZERO FUCKING SENSE!”

I think Titans is all ages. That's my out.

And Wizard of Oz sucks.

There's tonnes of great children's media, have you seriously never heard of Hazbin Hotel?

I like the original animated Star Trek, with no irony.

I think Animaniacs is up there with The Simpsons.

Some things transcend age.

The Greatest Showman

Magnolia

this one is a wash because it attempted to be douchey but it is a hateable movie

That was the tagline to Junior.

How is Forrest Gump not douchey? It's at minimum pretentious.

How is The Greatest Showman just hate? It's so up its own ass that if Jackman was smoking, he'd cause an explosion.

it, cheaply, tugs at your heart strings, and uses a lot of nostalgia...also, Jenny gets Aids, and the happy ending with the kid....it's not exactly a Wim Wenders film

Zac Efron can never be in art house shit.....

 

[johnnynoname]

also, hugh jackman is a nice man......leave him alone

First one, I'll concede. But you'll have to give me Nymphomaniac then.

Second, oh yes he can, and it's called The Iron Claw.

I like Hugh too, but if he didn't have Wolverine clout, that movie isn't getting made.

It's a personal pet project he wanted to do, and Orson Welles he ain't.

i was ready for this, and......i'll concede this one because it was marketed as "art house"

Met him?

I have heard really nice things about him. Might be fey, but I don't really care.

 

[johnnynoname]

if he didn't have Wolverine clout

and i'll admit when i'm wrong....yes- he gets away with A LOT of shit (with me) solely on that

 

[UnPRePared]

I'll give you a pass. I like his Wolverine.

It's like a Canadian Mike Hammer who can hang a magnet on his skull.

 

[Kinderman]

I fucking hate that movie.

Also any Star Trek movie without William Shatner in it. Also most of the Star Trek movies with William Shatner in them.

I’ll agree with any Star Trek movie without Shatner. They all stink. I really like most of the six with him. The fourth one with the whales is boring, the fifth is utter shit, but I think the rest are good. The Motion Picture is my personal favorite, but I doubt many people agree with me.

Apparently in the original script there was a whole subplot about will and his masshole friend Chucky evading the government intelligence agencies who were trying to recruit Will for secret research. But Rob Reiner basically too them it didn't work and they should stick to the therapy and romantic plots

Interesting, that certainly better explains the title. I've heard (and this probably supports the Reiner change) that the script was rewritten by some big name writer who got a nice payout to keep their mouth shut, some bitter hollywood dude whined about it in an interview and said the original script was crap and they didn't write the final draft and shouldn't have gotten an Oscar for it - I can see all the joke stuff coming from Damon and Affleck though. I like the film overall, it just has these weird bits that don't match up/seem out of place etc that drag it down a bit.

 

[Sam Bankman-Fried]

Anything by Tarantino after Jackie Brown. His films come off like a bad Elmore Leonard imitation mixed with godawful grindhouse elements. Except Leonard was a brilliant master of crime storytelling and dialogue, and Tarantino is a weird pedo jew defender who makes kitschy, self indulgent, pop culture-ridden dogshit, the kind of movies you think are cool in high school.

The moment I truly started hating Tarantino (including his earlier movies) was when I watched The Hateful Eight and a voiceover was introduced something like 90 minutes into the movie. Any sincere director would've used it consistently throughout the movie, but since Tarantino's entire career is based on randomness, irony and cheap novelty, he wanted people to react to yet another out of left field oddball director decision that has nothing to do with the story itself. "Wait, there's a voiceover?!".

Just a clarification to some of you others, by douchy and irritating I don't just mean bad. Capeshit is bad and embarrassing, but it doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. I'm looking for Louis CK arthouse type movies, where the director and the fans think they're on to something sophisticated that outsiders don't get.

I hate a bronx tale

 

[Suetonius]

Fight Club

It was apparently an NSA Mercury Rising type movie before William Goldman (not Rob Reiner) consulted on it.
