Movies that made you walk out of the cinema

[The Mad Hatter]

I’ve never walked out on a film in the cinema, but I sorely wish I had on these...

Thor

Skyline

Transformers 3

Dragonball: Evolution (the worst movie I’ve ever seen)

The Chronicles of Riddick

Battle: Los Angeles

Iron Man 2

Alien: Resurrection

100%

Although NCfOM is one of my 100 favourite movies of all-time, you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself if it isn’t to your tastes. The Cohen Bros. are not for everyone as a general rule, & they’re not trying to be.

I have a weird relationship with the Coen brothers, I don't really like their early stuff (Fargo just annoyed me, but I love the tv show which is similar in tone) but really like all of their stuff from No Country for Old Men on.

I often think I should do a rewatch of the old ones.

I did not enjoy their debut feature, Blood Simple, as much as I’d hoped to, & Fargo likewise never grabbed me. I absolutely adore The Big Lebowski, No Country for Old Men, & True Grit though.

One of their lesser-known films that I’d highly recommend is 2001’s The Man Who Wasn’t There. This is an extremely charming sort of love letter to old noir films (it’s shot in black & white), & has a killer cast. Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, Scarlett Johansson, James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, & an unforgettably devilish Tony Shalhoub.

Really, a shame it has never found mainstream love.

Battle: Los Angeles

In the same genre as that & in my opinion even shyter was a 2010 movie called Skyline ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1564585/ ) . Same deal, alien invasion but with a direct to video vibe to it. The piece de resistance of script idiocy in this one was people suggesting that they escape to the ocean where they'll be safe somehow forgetting the fact that UFO's can fly, also over oceans. It scored 18% on the Tomato-Meter.

That movie was offensively bad. Interestingly enough, the two brothers who directed and produced it were the VFX supervisors on Battle: Los Angeles who were then sued for stealing the idea.

The biggest wank in the movie is that they make the protagonist (Turk from Scrubs) a VFX wizard who is the hottest thing in Hollywood. Nobody is buying it assholes.

You'll be pleased to know there was a sequel Beyond Skyline. Skylin3s is in production.

Part of that whole era of absolute shite invasion movies like Battleship, Cloverfield, Battle:Los Angeles, Transformers trilogy, The 5th Wave, Cowboys and Aliens, Independence Day Resurgence, Pacific Rim. I'd even chuck in The Avengers too.

Scrap them all and watch Attack The Block and Edge of Tomorrow. And maybe Pixels.

 

[The Charlatan]

Blue Crush - a mate of mine wanted to see it when it came out. Not even being able to watch Kate Bosworth and Mika Boorem strut around in bikinis was enough to save it, it was f**king atrocious.

Deep Blue Sea was another. Just shithouse.

Pacific Rim & Cloverfield get the thumbs down but Pixels gets a pass!? Boooo

Yep.

Pixels was at least a bit of fun. Cloverfield gave me migraines with all its shaky camera. And the characters were so meh, I just wanted to see the 'alien' kill them all.

I had the terrible misfortune of seeing both in the cinema. Those Strauss brothers were the pair behind the camera for the abysmal
AVP sequel. Needless to say, they were done after those two movies.

There is no alien in Cloverfield. I can’t argue with the camera bothering you, but I think the characters are much more smartly realised than a lot of people give the movie credit for.

All these invasion movies are just plodders in comparison to the GOAT battlefield earth

I love your sense of humour, Man-Animal!

.

I notice Frank Grillo is in the Beyond one. I don't mind him as an actor, if you have Netflix check him out in a movie called Wheelman. Pretty cheaply made but packed alot of suspense in my opinion.

From the plot for Skylin3s which made me laugh "When a virus threatens to turn the now earth-dwelling friendly alien hybrids against humans " . Well, gee, the aliens are friendly now. How about that.

I will fight you on Deep Blue Sea. The Sam Jackson scene - you know which one - remains one of my all time favourite movie scenes.

Also the LL Cool J song featuring lyrics like ‘Deeper. Bluer. MY HAT IS LIKE A SHARKS FIN (repeat fifty times)’ is a masterpiece.

Both movies copping a pasting here this morning (Skyline/Deep Blue Sea) have amazing episodes of the podcast ‘How Did This Get Made’ about them. Can’t recommend them enough.

That’s not what you reference if you’re gonna defend that movie

I'll have to check this podcast out.

There's a handful of movies on this list that I like but checking out this list above, they look pretty spot on.

I walked out on Spanglish I got a free ticket for it yet still felt ripped off.
