Movie Deal-Breakers
May 10
If this applies to that movie, I’m not watching:
- Based on a book by Nicholas Sparks.
- It’s about a horse.
- Starring Reese Witherspoon.
- Someone alive falls in love with someone dead, or vice versa.
- Live action animals with CGI mouths.
- Babies fighting crime.
- “Tyler Perry’s…” anything.
- A group of sassy women bond over a break up.
- Starring a country singer or professional wrestler. (Pure Country is the singular exception.)
Your turn. Finish this sentence: I refuse to see a movie that ______________.
Ready? Set? Go!
1. Animals fighting crime
2. A female is the lead in a superhero movie (ie Catwoman, Elektra)
3. Any movie with Paul Walker
4. Any movie that has a cover like this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xqU8aCV8ADc/TSlXEwcLAFI/AAAAAAAAAsY/139EekZKO8s/s1600/cvsa.jpg
5. Any scary movie. Period.
6. Any movie where an abled body female falls in love with a special needs male.
#6- Does that include Forrest Gump?
I refuse to see any movie that:
1) is or will eventually be shown on lifetime
2) is produced/written/supported by Michael Moore
3) is a spinoff of an MTV show or star members of an MTV show
4) stars a nice-guy as a tough guy or vice-versa (ex Vin Diesel + Chronicles of Riddick = Good, Vin Diesel + The pacifier= Bad, George Clooney in Ocean’s 11/12/13=Good, George Clooney as Batman=way bad)
5)is in the Anime genre
6) is a spoof or sequel to a movie that wasn’t any good in the first place. (Most spoofs are bad anyway)
I love #4.
You’ve found the exception.
YES! +10 pts
1. Is based on an 80′s TV show.
2. Involves exes who are forced to collaborate.
3. The trailer features the song “Who Let the Dogs Out?”.
4. Is a sports underdog story (haven’t we seen every possible outcome by now?).
5. Sophisticated _____ teaches rough, inter-city _____ to _____.
Oh, and
6. Opposites trading places, with the exception of “Trading Places”.
Literally laughed out loud at #3. Number five was good too.
