31 day movie meme #5
Jul. 6th, 2016 12:23 amDay 05 - Movie you loathe
This is actually surprisingly difficult to answer. I mean, think about it: for the most part movies I disliked tend to be ones that bored me, or were very ineptly made, while ones that I might find objectionable I generally know about in advance so don’t watch them... Whereas “loathe” would mean something I willingly sat through, and which offended me in some other way than mere boredom or incompetence...
Which makes it difficult to think of one that qualifies.
In fact, the only two that spring to mind, for very different reasons, would be:
1) Disney’s Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Because they fuck with the storyy to change it so that the blonde-haired,blue-eyed Aryan guard captain gets the love of Esmerelda, while Quasimodo learns to think that fifteen minutes of fame is what make’s his life worthile before he returns to obscurity. It’s the fucking Leni Riefenstahl version of the story.
2) Insidious. I’m sure it’s spooky and clever, but since the sound track to the first half consists largely of screaming baby and shouting children, it’s just worthless pain and torture for a misophonic, and by the time the actual plot stars, I really, really *need* to either run the fuck into the woods, smash the TV, punch people in the face, or all three. (Seriously, if you’re misophonic, do even think of trying to watch unless you turn the sound off and read th closed captioning.)
