No Country For Old Men. Couldn't stand it. And, every movie that ends with an ambiguous ending. I figure, why did I pay money to see a story you didn't bother finishing??

Not sure if I'd add The Help to this list. Loved the book and I didn't hate the movie, but it didn't do for me what it did for my friends who didn't read the book.

This movie has become a national phenomenon and I find the national response to the movie to be very strange. Bookstores have stocked up with the book and ads and commercials everywhere. I was in the bookstore finding amusement that the book was stocked up by the front door and wondering whether I cared enough to buy the book. This much older white man smiled and said "you'd love this book...it's REALLY good." I smiled and said "I heard!"

ETA: Ditto Black Swan. That was one of the worst movies ever. I hated it more than SATC2. I've sung this song on GC many times.

Thank you.

If they do a SATC3, I will bump the SATC2 thread and further discuss how horrid it was.

Watched SATC2 recently, but just for the shots of Marrakech (they filmed there, not in Dubai) I skipped most of the dialogue, cringe-worthy

When I like a movie I will watch it a kazillion times, buy the dvd, and watch it everytime it comes on television. That is what I do for SATC episodes and the first movie.

SATC2 can go to hell.

Sorry, but the television show was bad enough. I can't imagine sitting through 2+ hours of those over-sexed hags.

Inception and The Matrix. Those two movies were awful. I walked out in the middle of both.

This thread reminded me of this audience reaction video of the movie:
