I really don't find myself hating too many movies, but when I do, it's usually vehemently. When I first started seeing the previews for Mother!, I was so psyched. It looked intriguing. It had a fantastic cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Michelle Pfeiffer. However, what started out promising soon became...I still don't even know what. I sat there thinking, "What the hell am I watching?" After it was over, that became "What the hell did I just watch?" I remember there was a guy who left well before it got really bad and I thought, as I always do, "How can someone leave a movie before it's over." Later, I wished I had done the same. Disappointing. All things considered, when the movie popped up on Hulu, I thought about watching it again...just to see if my opinion might change, as it has before, on a second viewing. I still haven't worked up the courage to watch it again. I know it's supposed to be this sweeping epic allegory on climate change, and since I care about the environment, I should consider the movie genius story telling. Maybe I'll get there eventually?
What is your least favorite horror film of all time?
I still haven't seen mother! because I've heard nothing good about it. I mean, usually *someone* has something good to say about a movie, but not this one.
