A few days ago I watched the 2015 movie, "Steve Jobs" on the Tube. One word description: BORING!!! Despite great material to work with, it was one big borefest. Aaron Sorkin's scipt was largely to blame. It didn't feel like real people involved talking. It came off as a platform for SorkinSpeak. You can always tell a movie he has written. It has his peculiar SorkinSpeak which consists of rapid fire chit chat signifying nothing.
Okay, that is my idea of the most boring movie that I have ever seen. What is yours? Remember, this doesn't mean WORST movie, only most BORING movie.
Yup, it was terminally slow.
RE: “Bobby Deerfield” - torturously boring 70’s film.
300 posts so far and nobody has mentioned “Zardoz”???
If I want to watch stupidity and ignorance I’ll watch Congress on C-Span....
+1
I know, I’m still waiting for the sequel!
RE: “Buckaroo Banzai
HERETIC”
Please don't pop me one, lol.
I enjoyed your post very much!
My husband and I refer to it as The Unbearable Movie.
It shares many similarities with Leaving Las Vegas.
Boring. Check.
Arty crap. Check.
Climactic (or anti-climactic..you choose) death scene of annoying protagonist signaled relief because the viewer knew the bore fest was mercifully, finally, ending.
Check.
The last movie I went to see in a theater: Eat, Pray, Love. I would have walked out, but didn’t want to risk a family argument among my sisters-in-law who were also in attendance.
Not one of you can top that. I win the internet....that the UN now owns.
It is a sort of "Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep" kind of thing that has to be appreciated by a true Sci-Fi aficionado.
Natural Born Killers....do t know if it was exactly boring but decided after thirty minutes it wasn’t worth watching and left.
“Jason Bourne” is the first movie that has ever put me to sleep in the theater. To say that it is boring would be generous. Insipid, banal, akin to torture...yes, that’s about right.
Spring 1983, saw “Chariots of Fire” with a girl whom I had wanted to ask out all semester and finally did. I fell asleep about halfway into the movie. Didn’t wake up until the lights came on. Never saw her again.
So many. I walked out of Falling in Love with Meryl Streep and Robert DeNiro because it was so freaking stupid. I also walked out of NATURAL BORN KILLERS because I don’t find people begging for their lives entertaining and also walked out of INTO THE WILD. Rich kid rebels against his parents because they want to buy him a nice car. I swear that’s what I remember. But Boring? Too many to list. I don’t go to movies anymore. You pay so much money you feel beholden to stay. Much better stuff on cable television.
Zordoz was a bit odd, wouldn’t call it boring.
Letters to Juliet was mild-numbingly dull. And stupid.
The first Care Bear Movie.
The first My Little Pony Movie.
1966 - the year England won the World Cup. Sleeper. I think it was fictional anyway.
I have to admit I loved ROAD TO PERDITION. It was slow and dark, but it was brilliant. I just bought the DVD yesterday as a matter of fact.
AMEN..just posted that I walked out of that movie too as people begging for their lives is not particularly entertaining to me.
Hilarious post! Thank you for the laugh.
(I loved that Fantasia. But I didn’t see it until I was an adult. I’m a big classical music fan - but not the pretentious stuffy kind, so almost any reasonable video would probably have worked for me.)
I don’t remember the title, but the silent film of the trial of Joan of Arc. It’s considered a masterpiece, but it’s 95% close-ups of Joan looking like the “before” in an Anacin commercial.
