Name a popular movie and TV series you've seen...

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

...(at least 30 minutes of) and just don't like.

For me, The Godfather movies were like baseball, 15 minutes of excitement packed into 3 hours.


Seinfeld, I like Jerry; I don't get the others at all.

[FSogol]

1. I appear to be the only person who doesn't like the movie, Silence of the Lambs.

Jody Foster is supposed to pick the brain of a evil cannibal mastermind to solve a murder, but Anthony Hopkins only solves it because he personally knows who did it.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

11. Birds of a feather

I like the movie but admit some of the plot was a bit weak.

[TexasBushwhacker]

20. I never liked it either

Oddly enough I had a boyfriend who had a tiny part in it.

[Iggo]

22. It's a movie about a prison break.

Clarice is a dupe.

[NightWatcher]

27. She didn't solve diddly. Hannibal harassed and toyed with her.

[rurallib]

2. Seinfeld and Friends - just couldn't understand what people thought was funny

Movie? To be frank we just don't go to many movies anymore because they just don't deliver.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

12. Agreed, thanks

[True Dough]

3. I have plenty!

I give up on TV shows very quickly. I had high hopes for The Man in the High Castle but turned it off after about 30 minutes. Too much James Bond-like beating the odds. I have read that season 2 of that show really drops off anyway.

And, man oh man, do I dislike The Big Bang Theory! No laughs for me at all.

As for movies, the wife and I are very discerning about what we go to see. It's usually not the popular ones, it's the low-budget and foreign ones.

[dhill926]

4. agree on Big Bang Theory...

friends whose taste we respect recommended it. So we watched and we're like.....the fuck? Matter of taste I guess...

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

13. I don't know 'High Castle' but I'll steer clear

Big Bang is okay but I lost interest.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. I couldn't stand Seinfeld, either.

I also didn't like Married with Children or Friends. MWC was just stupid, and Friends had some pf the most irritating characters ever to blight a TV screen.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

14. Seinfeld, MWC and Friends

Package them and drop them all on Putin. Bombs everyone. Thanks.

[Skittles]

6. Survivor - sickening

rewarding bullying and bad behavior

and a pox on EVERYONE who watched The Apprentice

I also disliked STAR WARS - thought it was stupid, still do

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

15. Well now...

The Apprentice......
Star Wars...... saw a few, was lightly entertained, might watch one I haven't seen on TV but won't pay for it.
Survivor...... I don't get the rules, it reminds me of chemistry class, plenty of unrelated crap wrapped up together.

[Dulcinea]

30. I hate that stupid show too.

My husband loves it.

[Initech]

7. Just about anything with Kevin James in it.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

16. Irritating actor

Always plays a character I don't like.

[LeftInTX]

8. Lost in Space, Star Trek, Batman, Gilligan's Island

Star Wars

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

17. Agreed...

...except Star Trek. I liked some of TOS. I was bored fast the other series. The even numbered movies were good.
The movie reboots were varied for me. I liked the first a lot.

I like Batman Begins.

[oasis]

9. The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice. They both stunk.

How shit such as that lasted so long is a bad reflection on American tastes.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

18. I have yet to find...

...a "reality" show that I won't sleep through. They are all a waste.

[TexasBushwhacker]

21. I'm with you on that

I HATE "reality" television.

[mythology]

10. In addition to the first two Godfather movies and Seinfeld

I'd include Gone with the Wind and Fargo (the tv series) and Dexter.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

19. Agreed.

Nothing to see anywhere in there.

If I want to watch a movie with little plot I'll watch Rambo 2008.

[Generic Brad]

23. Any and all realty series

None of them resonate with me it's just loosely scripted and poorly acted dreck.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

32. contrived, all of them n/t

[OrwellwasRight]

24. West Wing, Six Feet Under, Rocky I,

Rambo, Die Hard, Heat, Face Off, Alcatraz, Family Ties . . .

Of the newer stuff: Arrow, Grey's Anatomy, The Voice, Elementary

I could go on and on.

As to the Godfather, I think it would be a great film if they edited out the 20 minutes where he walked aimlessly in the Sicilian countryside. That was boring story-wise and boring visually: too much tan color as far as the eye could see and that supposed love story between Al Pacino and the girl who didn't speak English I found wholly unbelievable as well. Godfather II, which included no aimless wandering in Sicily, was FAR superior.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

33. West Wing, Six Feet Under never saw them

Rambo & Die Hard: Watched a few in the series. Rambo 2008 was watchable if you're okay with blood. I only really like Die Hard 4 out of the series.

Heat & Alcatraz: I can't remember very well so it weren't that good.
Face Off: Never saw it or saw part or gave up after it started
Family Ties: mindless but acceptable.

All that newer stuff I never saw.

Both Godfather films moved too slowly for me. Whatever they were conveying was lost.

[NobodyHere]

25. Breaking Bad

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

34. Never got interested

[sarge43]

26. Game of Thrones n/t

[Laffy Kat]

28. Anything with a laugh track.

American situational comedies are abysmal. The BBC had/has some good ones.

[Jamaal510]

29. Big Bang Theory. nt

[Dulcinea]

31. The Matrix.

That's 2 1/2 hours of my life I'll never get back.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

35. I thought it was watchable but...

...kind of a waste. Way too long.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

36. South Park and Simpsoms bore me

...a lot!

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

37. Lost

I turned it off after the first 10 minutes, wherein the lead characters are standing next to an exploding aircraft full of of fuel and get off without so much as a singed eyelash.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

43. I watched a few episodes, some non-sequential

I never got the point. None of it made sense.

[jmowreader]

38. I could not STAND the Lord of the Rings movies

As for the TV show...I don't like Andy Griffith's Mayberry shows.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

42. There are some shows like Andy Griffith...

...that are mostly similar. They have a regular guy surrounded by a bunch of cartoon characters. At best some may be entertaining for a season or two.

[hunter]

39. Friends, Seinfeld, and The Big Chill.

But maybe I haven't seen at least 30 minutes of Friends.

One of my kids watched every episode of Friends, for fun and research, and wrote a few college papers about it. A Friends expert, of sort...

I couldn't stand Seinfield, the bits I've suffered are mean and cynical, but far too shallow. When I'm looking for mean and cynical give me a grouchy old George Carlin.

I consider The Big Chill a horror film. When I was forced to sit through it on a date that was rapidly going downhill, I remember thinking if I ever became any of those people I'd have to kill myself. The only character I identified with was the dead guy.

[femmocrat]

40. Game of Thrones.

Too violent for me.

[A HERETIC I AM]

41. Just about every single "Reality Show"

They tend to make stars out of morons and assholes.

"Ice Road Truckers" and that stupid show about the duck call makers are perfect examples
