Any movie that was based off a book I read previously. Every single one of them.

Too true.

And most, if not all, movies starring Jennifer Aniston. Love her, hate her movies.

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??

After watching Eat Pray Love, I was mad at myself for even loving the book so much.

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.
