I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
Holy shit, thank you. My husband thinks I’m crazy for not enjoying this film. We saw it for the first time at a special event thing at a theater because he’d always wanted to see it, and I was so fucking bored.
I remember falling asleep to some dude jogging in a gigantic circle, and I woke up and was like “Omg it’s still playing.”
HAL was neat. Have no idea what was going on with the giant space fetus.
I came out saying that it was the most boring yet gorgeous film I’d ever seen. Because I mean, it WAS fucking pretty.
This, like other movies, I think comes down to novelty. Some of the shit done in that movie was truly incredible… At the time. Some bits are still really interesting.
The jogging scene, for example, was done at a time when CG wasn’t really an option. So then you ask the question… How did they do some of these shots? How is this guy seemingly running in a zero g circle but it’s actually a real camera?
Cinematic transitions are another. The bone spinning into the space station was really cool. It’s a shot that has permeated like every form of media. Now it kinda looks cheap and jarring.
HAL as an AI, an evil robot, was an extremely interesting. Now it’s something that has been done so, so many times since.
As a sci Fi I still like it, the slow pace isn’t something that bothers me. I enjoy movies that are capable of taking their time. So many movies move at breakneck speeds. The plot is really cool to me as well.
Otherwise, yes, it’s not surprising that a modern audience finds this incredibly boring for all the points above.
