So happy none of you are my friends.

I can't stand westerns, or most movies with a time date that preceded the automobile.
War movies, we had to watch Saving Private Ryan in school, uess there was a halftrack on screen- no effs given. I did watch Full Metal Jacket, because my friends like it, and I never saw it, and don't want to, not even a single halftrack. Funny because I love M.A.S.H.
Chick flicks
Musicals, though I do like Idlewild, and pitch perfect, because there is an excuse for the singing..
Some comedic movies I can't stand, like anything with Dane Cook.
Dance movies, like the Step-up series.
Phsyic thrillers, nothing is ever resolved properly, or wrapped up, a movie shouldn't make you think that much.
Horror movies, they are so predictable, and most of them I just find funny.

Westerns and war movies.
I like dramas for the most part, but a couple of years back there was a film the name of which I forget that starred Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. It was about baseball but mostly about statistics and how they are used in baseball. It was the most excruciating, soul-drainingly boring film I have ever had to endure. Ugh.

I am amazed at how many people hate horror movies. It's my favorite genre. I personally am not a fan of Rom-Coms. I hate sappy romantic comedies. Probably weird for a girl, but I much prefer action packed/blowing things up/slasher/face eating zombie types of movies.


I like most genres of movies.

Movies that try too hard to be artsy-fartsy-different.

Horror especially without good storylines or good character development. Most are the sane plot, teenagers that run a foul of a spirit, monster or human.

Some people like simarlarities between people, others want to have differences. Me I like differences but not polar opposites. When it comes to movies, I don't really like differences too much though I am getting better coming out of my movie comfort zone.

I am not a fan of the "Action movie".

I have seen many good movies that were action-filled and probably even classified as such, but action, for the sake of action, usually tends to take precedent over developing an actual story line.

The Expendables - blah
Fast and Furious - blah
Van Damme movies - blah

I just have very little interest in these types of movies.

Most relationship movies. Some rom-coms are tolerable, but those serious, dramatic films that mostly involve conversation between two people bore me serious.

A lot of those black and white political crime type movies. There's so much dialogue and you have to concentrate so much on the plot.

Slasher/Zombie flicks. Zombie movies especially are sooooo boring. Like an hour of a half of killing thousands of zombies.

Movies that are too arty, symbolic: A lot of European films are like this. Honestly, I can't be bothered being all intellectual and analytical when watching a film. I want to be entertained. All that symbolism crap reminds me of high school.

Films like Yentil, enough said, lol.

There are probably more but that's all I can be bothered thinking about right now lol.
The whole zombie thing bores me silly.

Please...Make it stop! LOL. When oh when will it end?? I mean, the Vampire thing lasted about three years, right? So I was hoping that the zombie thing would follow suit and be done with by now. How long has it been? About five years? Man......it's crazy. I can see a 13 year old boy digging it, but what in the hell is up with full-grown adults enjoying and paying money for zombie movies? Maybe there is a much higher percentage of retards among the adult population that I formerly suspected? This would indeed explain a LOT!

Walking Dead?

Really?
