This is me with literally any movie that tries to get me to feel things. I'm pretty sure I have alexithymia.
Though sometimes I find myself thinking about a film weeks after I watched it, and I then it's like "I guess maybe I did like the film".

Don't look up was that movie for me. Almost everyone praised it to high heavens, with me smirking at maybe 2 lines / scenes throughout that entire slog.
Each to his own, I guess...

I thought Black Panther was mid at best but it made me sound like a racist whenever I mentioned that.
Ironically, this movie is pretty racist. The opening scene is a cliche basketball scene, and Wakanda, despite being a futuristic society, still uses tribal law and decides its leaders by fighting half naked to the death.

Aquaman too.
Dudes are out there celebrating some aggressively average movies.

For me, it's Scott Pilgrim
Yeah never got that one sure there are funny things in it like people dropping video game coins when they get defeated, but Scott is a bit of an asshole and the girl he fights for is an insufferable entitled bitch. There is no believable reason why the exes would want to fight him either.

counterpoint: there are worse things than this
Not a movie, but for me House of Leaves was awful. Most of the characters are extremely flat and we barely get to see them interact. The central gimmick of run-on footnotes and rabbit holes is more annoying than profound, even if it did tie into the themes well. The author also clearly has something against women, since I can't name a single female character who isn't a either sex object, a prostitute, or an adulterer. The horror atmosphere also didn't land for me, mostly because it's so surreal that I can't get invested in the characters as actual people.
Breakfast Club
multiple hours of horrible teenagers and some horrible adults learning no valuable lessons and their actions being glorified
also the two love interest characters fall for each other despite having zero chemistry, cuz fuck you can't have a teen movie without a romance i guess

Beetlejuice. What an awful fucking movie.
Me with Breaking Bad. Couldn't get past the first season
I forced myself through the first two seasons, and it turned out to be my favourite series, same happened to a friend. The show massively improves in season 3.

The first season or season and a half are pretty grueling. I found it hard to watch at times. But as it got later into the show it really hit its groove. Still, I get where you're coming from.
