What Is "Movie Hell" For You?

Imagine you’re in a damp movie theater. Popcorn and gum everywhere. It’s 100 degrees outside, the a/c is busted inside. The snacks are stale, the soda’s flat, and Satan has queued up, just for you an eternity of _________

I fill in the blank with “Pedro Almodovar films”

Yeah I can go with Merchant/Ivory films being hellish — except for the one Jane Austen movie they did. I’m a sucker for film adaptations of her work even though an eternity in hell would be spent actually reading her books.

For me it would be a toss up between any of Tim Burton’s live action films (I have time for his animations) or any film that requires me to endure Winona Ryder’s horribly fake acting. I just can’t decide – both are too infernal too imagine.

“My Favorite Things are playing again and again/But it’s by Julie Andrews/And not by John Coltrane”

Fireproof and Palindromes. That would just about end it for me.

Stuck watching Jodorowsky’s entire filmography while the person in front of me is texting and the person in back of me is kicking my seat and a kid is screaming next to me.

Burton double-bill: The Corpse Bride & Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Don’t get me wrong, I grew up watching Tim Burton movies, and I really like a few, but I really can’t stand some of the later ones.

Anything with Sylvester Stallone or Liza Minelli.

Gary Marshall. Gary Marshall. Gary Marshall.

Except when he’s acting. I find him bracing and hilarious.

Same goes for most anything Pollack has done in the last ten years.

Although, he is a captivating character actor. Plays seemingly upstanding but actually corrupt very well.

Every Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez movie ever made. (Except Office Space and Out of Sight)

Those new horror remakes that are produced by Michael Bay…

…actually, ANYTHING with Michael Bay’s name on it. * shudder *

Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant make me want to bash my brains in! So anything involving them. Oh and movie’s with Rosie in them too. Also Kevin Costner and Mel Gibson, aside from Gibson in “Mad Max” and “The Road Warrior”. How could I forget the horrifying Nick Cage. I can’t stand that man!

Kids movies. Disney, Dreamworks, Nickelodeon, whatever. I hate kids movies with a passion.

I agree, Zach Braff. I also hate theaters that allow food or drink. Movie theaters are temples and should be kept sacred. People probably piss in the butter, so beware the next time you soak up your little kernels. I hate Zach Braff.

The Center Of The World. That movie was SHIT.

None of the things mentioned seem that bad except for the Fanta commercial and the Kid Rock video. (especially if it’s the “Warrior” recruiting video they’ve been playing in theaters.)

Okay, Zach Braff sounds pretty bad, but there are redeeming qualities to his two movies I’ve seen, namely attractive women. It would need to be a movie completely devoid of joy for me. Something without the slightest hint of hope. I dunno. I haven’t figured it out yet.

This is Hell:
A triple bill of Pauly Shore is Dead, Kingdom of Crystal Skull, and Spiderman 3
