I know, I’ve said it before: I don’t believe in absolutes and therefore o should not believe in the word (and concept) of never. BUT when it comes to film, I’m one picky, snobbish pain in the arse; just a smidge under the pain I am about grammar, spelling and page numbers (ask my students).
So without further ado, here’s the short list of films/movies you won’t be able to have a decent convo with me about because I have never (nor will I ever) see them.
Of course, you can always try to convince me othewise.

Ok… so here’s my beef:
Wont watch Jay & Silent Bob but only weekend at Bernie’s TWO made the list and not the first? REALLY?
That’s cause I saw the first weekend and it wasn’t so bad. But I knew that número dos wouldn’t be so good. Did YOU see it??
Yes…. and then promptly drank enough rubbing alcohol to make me blind. I cannot believe you wont give Jay and Silent Bob a chance? Or Harold and Kumar.. I’m not a “pothead” movie fan by any stretch but Neil Patrick Harris is THE reason to see those movies. PERIOD
I think Strike Back is worth watching, if you are a Kevin Smith fan. It’s definitely not the best of his canon (is that even appropriate to term his work as such?), but it’s full of inside jokes that are a pat on the back for fans that have seen the other movies.

Jay and silent Bob is not a good movie, and i understand why it’s on the list, but district 9 is a good science fiction film. Also the time travelers wife and the notebook are not the worst romantic movies out there, have you seen the wedding planner??
I find this list to be odd. I would tend to ask questions like Leo did… lots of worse movies out there.
Hi Ro, it’s Jessica from MMC–how I found myself on your blog I don’t know. But I’m intrigued… Why won’t you see District 9??? It was the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve heard practically no negative feedback so I’m really interested to know your thoughts…
Well. I reckon then that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen probably won’t float your boat either, but I have to say, I rather enjoyed it. As for your list above, I would like to see 1, 2, and 20. I have seen 15 & 16 and rather wish I had read a book instead. Or washed my car. Or had a minor operation of some sort. Perhaps have had a small case of measles.

Now tell me one good reason why you wont watch Grease 2?
That movie is phenomenal. It is a jewel in the crown of american cinema.
No, but srsly. What’s wrong with Disctrict 9?
