Last night I went to an absolutely horrendous movie which I did not want to see staring a very overrated comedian who isn't funny called Kevin Hart. For whatever reason my girlfriend loves Kevin Hart and thinks he's hilarious, so I begrudgingly took her to see it. I swear it was one of the most painfully stupid and unfunny movies I have ever had the misfortune of sitting the entire way through. 90% of the audience, which happened to be black, was laughing throughout its duration while I could not even muster up a grin. I don't see how anyone could possibly find this mindless garbage funny. Not to mention the audience at movies like this tend to be terribly obnoxious and loud, answering their phones during the movie, talking out loud, hooting and hollering, etc. My girlfriend almost seemed offended at the fact that I told her I thought the movie "sucked" and was incredibly dumb.
Just went to google him, see what movie you are talking about He is doing a standup tour here in Aus, in Feb, two shows at allphones arena in Sydney, which has a capacity of 21,000 Two shows? Dafuq? I assume you are talking about Ride Along 2
My condolences and hope your GF has gotten over your tactless honesty. I admire honesty and try to be honest in expressing my opinions, but sometimes there are consequences. And welcome to intercultural sensitivities. My unfortunate wife had to sit thru 2 hours and 40 minutes of Amadeus because of me. She didn't trash it but I know she was just being polite because I really liked it. For a guy who has an axiom "I Enjoy Bad Movies" when noticing that I disagree with unfavorable ratings from the critics and audiences (I like the new Fantastic 4 for example) there are some bad movies I see coming a mile or two down the road in the trailers like Hot Tub Time Machine, The Hangover & Ride Along that fortunately I am not required to attend. (I had to see Hot Tub Time Machine, accompanying intellectually disabled adults where I worked, and for which I was getting paid. They enjoyed it immensely). There are some comedians whose movies I do not like such as Will Ferrell (except in Stranger Than Fiction), Ben Stiller and Kevin Hart. I enjoy Robin Williams movies but his frenetic spiels get on my nerves.
I can vividly imagine this situation. The unfunny 'comedy', the obnoxious loud audience that laughs too hard at every joke. Even if the comedy would be bearable such loud people in the audience would still annoy me. I also get offended when people say they didn't like Zoolander (don't mind if people dislike Ben Stiller but if you don't like that movie...! )
I can't say anything bad about Zoolander. Spoiler (Except, I didn't see it because I saw the trailers and it looked like a stupid, Ben Stiller movie. ) :unsure:
I haven't been in a move theater in at least 10 years...maybe longer. I'd rather wait and watch it at home...if someone with me likes it and I don't, I can pick up a book but still keep them company, if I'm alone...I can turn it off.
I just saw an article about how germy movie theatres are. I'm no "phobe" and do not carry or use toxic hand sanitizer, just common sense. But....just think...constant parade of people...babies, kids, teenagers (which are the nastiest things on the planet) sitting in the dark doing...well whatever they do. Picking their nose, scratching their butt....cloth seats. I bet they are extremely germy.
The only movie I've seen in theaters which I actively disliked was "Bruno", and then I liked it a lot better when I saw it a few years later. Usually if the crowd is having fun, you can't help but have fun with them, or you go in with such a strong expectation that you won't have fun that you end up getting even more annoyed by the end. I'm looking up Kevin Hart and I don't recognize him at all. I asked my partner what he knew about Kevin Hart and he just said: "black people love him." Sooo yeah.
ask yourself two questions: is she worth it, and, is she buying the tickets. its probably not too likely the rest of us will remember your taste in movies only that you didn't like the performance of someone i've never heard of anyway. only movie i'm planing on is furtopia. last one i've been to was guardians of the galaxy, and before that, sky fall. i think the last one before that was the first men in black movie. the ice age ones and how to train your dragon and the fantastic mr fox, i've all seen from dvd's at parties or on my own computer screen. the first two or three star wars movies lucas made were pretty good, but they seem to have gotten kind of repetitious since. there's some things i've seen on youtube that were pretty good. i don't usually remember the names of them. anything mundane is prettty much outside of my genre of interest. mysteries are ok, but mysteries and real science fiction, there's better stuff in books then movies.
High rise is going to kick such a wide and varied selection of arse, it'll make up for almost every other shitty film in the coming year (prediction) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g6izQcDNNA I don't know much about kevin hart, but I vaguely recall people saying he did excellent stand-up but made shitty movies. I've seen neither, does this sound like a reasonable description?
if you're going to date a black girl, you have to put up with some kevin hart bullshit. just be thankful you weren't with her back when tyler perry was alive.
What the hell is there to like about that movie? its not funny, its just dumb, soooo dumb ??? When it comes to people that think that movie is funny , I'm like the guy that never sees the dolphin in the 3D picture, where what??? Its not funny, whats funny? where what??? Same with Anchorman, some people say they liked that, I look at them weird
That sounds awful. Were there any good previews at least? Obnoxious people at the movie theatre annoy me greatly, and send my anxiety through the roof. My favourite time to go to the cinema is a weekday matinee showing, and I prefer to go alone. There is usually less than 20 people in the theatre, so I don't have to deal with that obnoxious, general public bullshit. I think, the next time you and your girl go to the movies, you should get to choose what you go see.
That is my preferred time to go to movies and tho this pic was taken some years ago by an usher, quite often I am the only one in the auditorium for a private screening. And, this is my favorite seat, so I can lean back and put my feet up on the rail.
Anchorman and Zoolander are both very funny. They're often on the edge of funny because it is that typical Will Ferrel humor often with a sniff of Adam Sandler and yes that's often a bit easy and lame. Not every comedy of those guys by far is hilarious. But Anchorman, due to the setting and how they make fun of it and in Zoolander also of course, the fashion industry and those stereotypical guys... yeah it's funny dude. Did you dislike Meet the fockers to the same degree as well?
There are movies that I love and could not for the life of me see why others didn't feel the same way. Different strokes for different folks.
