We all have that friend — the one who wants everything to be their own idea or is so obstinate they won’t try something you recommend just because.
You know exactly who I’m talking about.
Well, these 15 people might be that friend because they all have a movie they simply refuse to watch.
They have their reasons. You’ll have to decide whether or not they’re legit.
15. You can guess why
“Marley and Me. You can guess why…”
14. I can’t even now
“The Land Before Time.
I couldn’t get past Littlefoot’s mom dying when I was younger and I don’t think I can even now.”
13. I refuse to do that to myself
“The newest Wrinkle In Time movie.
That was a defining book of my childhood and I know that I’ll be thoroughly disappointed with the movie so I refuse to do that to myself.
I’m not saying the movie is bad at all, it’s just that any movie adaptation probably won’t capture the magic of that story for me.”
12. A bland, corporate mush
“The Emoji Movie
I’m afraid it’s going to dumb my brain to a bland, corporate mush.”
11. How bad it is
“Any of the twilight movie.
My friend in college loved them. It was always one of those things that lead to an argument.
“IT’S MINDLESS S**T! VAMPIRES DON’T F**KING SPARKLE!!! THERE’S A WEREWOLF IN LOVE WITH HER BABY OR SOME S**T! HE DIDDLES KIDS!”
Edit – so apparently now that the hype has passed, it’s pretty goddamn entertaining watching these movies because of how bad they are or something. I can’t say on all honesty that I’m going to, but I’m honestly debating getting super stoned and watching one just to see how bad it is. I hate you guys and love you at the same time.”
10. Because books are better
“The ” Eragon” movie”
9. Noped out
50 shades of grey. As a veteran kinkster, I read the first like four chapters of the first book and noped out. So much abuse.
8. A bad sign
“Paranormal Activity and the whole haunting movies like that – only because the one time my partner and I put on Paranormal Activity in our old apartment, our dog (who never barked in the apartment) randomly went to our pitch black bedroom and just started going ape s**t barking at the doorway within the first 10 mins.
Nope! That was a quick sign to turn the movie off and never watch it again.”
7. Nobody asked for that
“The Footloose remake. Nobody asked for a remake of the greatest movie of all time.”
6. I know I will cry a lot
“Hachiko.
Bought it on DVD I think because the trailer was really nice and I love dogs.
At that time I was still living with my parents and our family dog and my mom wanted to watch it, so I gave her the DVD. She returned it right after watching it, tears all over her face, just sobbing.
After that I didn’t have the courage to watch it and after our dog died I don’t want to anymore because I know I will cry a lot.”
5. Just no
“Human Centipede. No…just no”
4. I can’t handle that
“Serious answer?
Irreversible. When people bring up the most brutal scenes in movies, they always bring this one up. Apparently it’s some 15 minute rape scene. I can’t handle that.
Sort of serious answer?
Hachi: A Dog’s Tale Look, I can barely f**king handle Jurassic Bark I’m not watching this goddamn movie f**k that.”
3. Who thought of this crap?
“Suicide Squad.
First ten minutes, and I am already like – “Who thought of this crap ? What were they even thinking ?””
2. It’s already a disgrace
“The Grinch remake by Illumination. Hearing from reviews it’s already a disgrace to the Chuck Jones animated special.”
1. Out of needless spite
Titanic.
I refuse to watch this film out of needless spite. When I was around 16 or 17, my girlfriend at the time and I had a play argument about her refusing to watch Planet of the Apes (one of my favourite films) and I said I’d never watch Titanic just to spite her.
She reckoned I couldn’t go my whole life without seeing it. Well I haven’t seen her in around 17 years, nor have I watched Titanic, so I won, I guess? Maybe?
edit: it’s one of those films that has just seeped into my consciousness through parodies and references from other people/tv shows/films.
So there, Hollywood! These people refuse your cinema!
Which one are you completely uninterested in seeing?
