I know it gets a lot of hate, but I enjoyed the first JW movie.

Fallen Kingdom, though? Yeah, never touching that again.

I like them both! :huge:

Fallen Kingdom more than JW. JW is fine but plays things a bit safe.

Add the Fifty Shades sequels to the list. The first one was godawful, I honestly can't tell you a single thing that happened in the movie apart from some really bad banter and watered-down sex scenes, it was that boring and that forgettable. I refuse to even touch the sequels.

I refuse to see anymore reboots/remakes/or long passed the point sequels of famous IPs until people I trust (my friends) tell me its worth it. I am never wasting my money on another Terminator or Alien film ever again. And Disney can go right to hell with all their live action remakes.

Also, any movie centered around some stupid online political poop flinging contest is not worth my time. I don't need to be praised or condemned based on my decision to see a movie, and I just choose to opt out of the nonsense.

Yeah, this has become a really annoying trend recently, especially with the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot. Speaking of which, I can't believe they're already trying to reboot Ghostbusters again and I'm definitely not wasting my money on that. I also haven't seen the last two Terminator films and won't see anymore if they keep churning them out, either.

Requiem for a dream and Ghostbusters 2016

Requiem because it just makes me disgusted and uncomfortable to sit through and Ghostbusters 2016 because it just flat out sucks. I am sure there are others but those 2 instantly came up

Yeah, Requiem for a Dream really pushes the envelop for me, and I watched The Descent yesterday.

Not a movie but I have absolutely no interest in watching the Tiger King “documentary” on Netflix. It looks to be highly sensational (not that I’m against sensational entertainment, but this isn’t fiction) and to be in the same vein of many reality tv shows, or even freak shows of the past. I don’t doubt the events it depicts are legitimate, I’m sure it’s all real. But I can’t help get the feeling it’s purpose isn’t really to bring light to issues but put these crackpots on display. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not judging anyone who likes it, it’s just not for me.

I liked the series and even I have to admit that's one of its major faults. It showcases more of the criminal activity behind the people featured but does little to actually address the problems of the exotic animal breeding behind a few scenes of lip service dedicated to a proposed bill.

I've been roped into watching the first two episodes so far, but I don't have any interest in it, either. I get the impression that, rather than do anything to improve the conditions captive big cats are held and bred in, the popularity of this show is just going to lead a bunch of assholes into emulating these people for money and their own fifteen minutes of fame, and make everything worse.

Yeah I got the impression the show was really only interesting in exploiting the larger than life personalities than actually address any issues. Just seems tabloidy to me. I don’t really think it helps that these people are still alive and now have to deal with their new public perception, whether deserved or not.

Don't think I'd refuse to watch any movie but after watching Cannibal Holocaust I don't think I need to see any more movies with animal cruelty as a 'highlight.'

Not sure if you're aware of this, but the scene in which there's footage of people getting shot is real as well. I did a presentation on Cannibal Holocaust and it's history for a final on my Horror and Film class. It was required watching for the class, though we all got trigger warnings and anyone that didn't want to come for those classes didn't have to lol.

Wait, I was under the impression that only animals where harmed, and that the allegations of it being a snuff film where pure al urban legend.

The stuff that is in the film, like the scene of the woman on the stake, is fake (she's on a bicycle seat like prop). Same goes for any of the other violence in the film, except the footage shown.

However, during the scene where they review documentary footage, the people in the office say it's fake. It's not. Footage of public executions are shown. This is from this guy's regime, and also from the vietnam war:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idi_Amin

In other words, the film isn't a true snuff film (minus the animal cruelty) because it hasn't produced or made any actual violence. However the scenes from the documentary within the film are real. The weirdest part is during that scene when it's shown, the executives say it's fake, though it's all real.

Exploitation/torture porn films in general is stuff I tend to avoid, animals harmed in the movies or no.

Not exactly related (well, I guess it can be), but A Dog's Purpose was under a lot of scrutiny for real life dog abuse allegations.

Those allegations were later refuted, but the damage WAS done to its box office. It's tracking went down 40% or something like that after these allegations were made.
