I think you should check out Jackie Brown. Despite being a Tarantino film, it’s the least “Tarantino” film he has made, and one of the best IMO. It’s no where near as violent as his other pieces, and has a great female main character.

Oh, I don't see them because fans are annoying to me and I dislike feet guys.

You might as well throw in Woody Allen and Victor Slava in there as well.

That really was one of the worst movies I've seen myself as well. The only movie that came out this decade that was worse was The Last Airbender, but considering how I'm a dinosaur nerd and have been a fan of this franchise for a long time, JW:FK made me for more disgusted.


I'm also going to add in the lazy 1960 slupasaur Irwin Allen version of 'The Lost World'. It not just the animal fight scene or how lazy it is, but how the legendary Willis O'Brien was supposed to be special effects technician, but given how the movie did what it did, he was basically wasted.

JW:FK was good/decent until they got to the house. After that, it fell apart, but I wouldn't go as far as to call it "one of the worst movies ever", not even close. I'd much rather watch it than Battlefield Earth, Human Centipede, Hostel, A Serbian Film, House of the Dead, BloodRayne, Alone in the Dark, Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, The Last Airbender, Jack and Jill, Rollerball 2002, Movie 43, the list goes on.

Tarintino Fans, the types that think he's the greatest director ever, and have zero inclination to watch the actual films Tarintino is referencing, are annoying. I knew a ton of fratty-type film students in college who couldn't stop creaming about Pulp Fiction.

I love a lot of Tarintino films, and he's a fantastic director. But I honestly don't get it when people say he is the best.

I think Quentin Tarantino is the best currently-active film director because he writes excellent scripts, directs excellent casts and has trademarked his own style of films that tend to blend many different genres and are always extremely entertaining. I understand that his movies aren't for everyone, though.

Out of curiosity, who do you consider the best filmmaker who is currently making movies?

Not him, but there is no best filmmaker currently. There never will be. Each one brings something different to the table and each one has problems. There's no quantifiable "best" unless you pigeonhole yourself into certain categories.

Once you get past the absurdity of the lizards with prosthetics being passed off as dinosaurs, it's just a dull film. Lots of boring exposition delivered with everyone standing stationary in Cinemascope tableau, and no one showing any intensity other than Fernado Lamas. It's like the 1959 Journey To The Center Of The Earth would be like, if it sucked.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel.

For me, it would definitely be any kind of horror film that relishes in torturing their victims, in other words torture-porn. This goes to films like the Human Centipede films and the Saw films. To me, it isn't scary, it's just disgusting.

Other than that, I have no intention of looking at most of the films coming out today because of the woke trash......

Less specific films and more experience: I refuse to see any movie I'd have to see alone. I can't think of a bigger waste of my time than paying to go to the theater without any friends. If I can't at least drag someone else along, I will not watch it. I'll wait to see it online if I'm still interested by then.

Also the Disney remakes.

I guess it's more of a lack of interest than actual refusal, but I haven't seen any SW movies after TLJ. Also, TRoS' plot got leaked and proved legit by new clips. It sounds awful.

I always see movies on my own. Friends are overrated.

Rogue One
Pretty much any slasher films
Most modern Disney animated films. Have almost no interest in the post CGI stuff.

That's it for now. Gotta get ready for work.

Also like to add any Roman Polanski films to the list. I'm never giving the scumbag a cent of my money after he molested a child.

Woody Allen, Harvey Weinstein, Quentin Tarantino, Marlon Brando, Kevin Spacey, and Bill Cosby are a few other Hollywood people off the top of my head to avoid if sexual assault and/or kiddy-diddling is reason to boycott films.

With the exception of Shazam!

Any of the DCEU films especially Man of Murder (2013). If you actually think Brandon Breyer is Evil Superman then you haven't seen this film where Clark actually ended up getting more people killed in the process then Brandon did.

I find it remarkable that Godzilla in Legendary's Godzillaverse has more regard and respect for basic human life-even after all the failed attempts to kill him-then Snyderman ever did.

Their first 4 films have more or less been duds, but they've started to turn things around with their last few solo films (Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Shazam!).

However, it looks like they're back to square one with Birds of Prey, which looks terrible.
