Streaming for movies and TV series. The idea was great on paper but there is hardly anything worth watching and the execution is so awful. I did multiple trials for different services and they all sucked. Music streaming however is great, it’s not even 2 Eur for one month and the execution is amazing.
Hostel! It was mega hyped for a year and Tarantino wouldn’t fucking shut up about it, but then it was shit and ushered in that period where no horror movies were made except torture porn :(
I always thought that was Saw’s doing
You’re actually right saw released 1 year earlier I must have missed it at the time
3D TVs. Not that 3D and very little content. Not worth the money.
Probably same reason why the Nintendo 3DS died.
Very gimmicky.IMO: VR is better anyway.
I really wish they’d been more successful
Yeah, the tech is there but content is not.
Phantom Menace
Rogue One
Last JediThe last Jedi was so bad I wanted to leave the theater after the fight with Rey and the red troopers but I had my 10 year old niece with me and she was into it so I didn’t lol.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
I was hyped up for that game. Twilight Princess was from way at the beginning of the Wii era, and then way at the end was finally another game, they had released some cool artwork for it, who was this mysterious maiden figure…
GOD what a trash game.
I bought a kindle to do the ebook thing a while back to save space. It’s so buggy and slow it gave me the ick for ebooks. Like the way it looks, like the idea of it, but the way it works is another ballgame.
I’m using a very very old nook and enjoy it. I kinda want whatever I use to be just for reading, and nothing else. This way it all points to one thing. I also have like a first or second Gen kindle but it, while technically better, is slow as heck and filled with bloat.
I am tempted by modern colored e-ink, but I hear it isn’t super color accurate yet.
Diablo III
Happy Gilmore 2. I absolutely adore the first one, and I thought “Well, the second one can’t be bad. it’s such a great first movie!” Ugh. I was wrong. So very wrong.
Worst. Movie. Ever.
Yea I haven’t seen it yet but a lot of my dumb coworkers were explaining it to me and just from there explaining I was like nah no thanks. I say dumb coworkers because all of them are extremely conservative and all on the anti woke bs.
Save yourself the time. Dont bother with it
The excessive flashbacks were what got to me. If any movie could expect that fans would’ve watched the first movie 50+ times and be able to quote most of it, I think Happy Gilmore would be on that list.
You’re gonna die, clown!
The Hobbit (trilogy)
I love the LotR trilogy, just so well done. I knew De Toro started the Hobbit and I was hyped! Then he departed and it was a bit concerning, but Jackson was coming to the rescue so it couldn’t be that bad, right?
It did not need to be a trilogy. Adding more characters who are women was a good idea, but doing it for a romance subplot was stupid. Legolas didn’t need to be included at all, there were enough characters already and another dude didn’t help out.
Then there was the inconsistent tone, the stupid barrel ride crap and goblin caves super mario scene and the whole thing missed the point of the book which was about a bunch of bumbling dwarves, most of which were past their prime, hiring a hobbit to be a spy to raid a dragon horde. Instead we got superhero dwarves doing outrageous stunts and a ton of side characters padding out a trilogy.
Ugh.
Good answer.
💯 so much garbage. The 2-3 hour fan made cut-down versions are good though.
Made me even more pissed that they left Tom Bombadil out of LotR.
It’s weird, because OP says “form” of entertainment, but everybody is reporting “piece” of entertainment.
I’m drawing a blank of form of entertainment. On piece of entertainment… I mean, I don’t know. I don’t get excited for things pre-release. Hopeful, at most.
I’ll say that the first Spider-Man movie is SO much worse than you remember.
I feel like dictionaries are over rated as a form, since they lead to nit-picky comments like this :P
I don’t know, I don’t like throwing dictionary definitions around in arguments as if they carried any authority, but in this case those two phrases mean very different things. I genuinely misunderstood what the OP meant. I think if people don’t understand what you mean it’s not really nitpicking.
Probably BluRays. DVDs were much better than VHS, but storage got a lot cheaper to get me the quality I wanted from films from downloads.
I appreciate that BluRays have a need, so I wouldn’t call them trash. I just don’t need them.
Also not really a new form of media, but modern video games. There isn’t enough of a technological jump anymore. The last thing that got me excited (or at least curious) was VR. But that’s not really approachable for me, so I can’t enjoy it.
Probably BluRays. DVDs were much better than VHS, but
… sony lobbed a crazy amount of payola to beat Phillips, even though blu-ray had worse error-correction and became unusable faster.
I largely agree on the modern games thing. The problem isn’t even technology for me. It’s scale. Modern AAA gaming is made by such large teams, often multiple studios each with hundreds or thousands of people. With that many people, you just end up with generic crap, and the studios are investing so much money on any one game that generic crap is all they’re willing to risk making.
Take that budget and spend it on 100 small games made by teams of ~100 people or so and we’d get some really interesting stuff. Sure, a lot would fail, but they can afford that. Let artists make art, not business-people.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie. Gawdawful, glad that Douglas Adams didn’t have to see it.
The weirdest part was they included the setups for the jokes, then skipped the punchlines.
I really liked how they had Mr. Prosser (the guy with the bulldozer), wearing a fur lined Mongol hat, but if you hadn’t read the book, you’d have no idea why that was funny.
“Mr L Prosser was, as they say, only human. In other words he was a carbon-based life form descended from an ape. More specifically he was forty, fat and shabby and worked for the local council. Curiously enough, though he didn’t know it, he was also a direct male-line descendant of Genghis Khan, though intervening generations and racial mixing had so juggled his genes that he had no discernible Mongoloid characteristics, and the only vestiges left in Mr L Prosser of his mighty ancestry were a pronounced stoutness about the tum and a predilection for little fur hats.”
He wrote a significant part of the script before he died. Personally I think he would have approved.
The Doom movie.
It wasn’t even originally written to be Doom; just a bullshit, mediocre sci-fi nobody would have cared about until they forced the Doom franchise upon what would have worked better with Resident Evil because it was less Doom and more Resident Evil in spaaaaace. It also made me dislike The Rock because he lied his fuckin’ ass off about the movie.
Mario Bros would be here, but it looked like crap even from the trailers as a kid.
Almost falls into the “so bad it’s good” category for me.
Almost.
The ending part with the FPS was kinda ok they should have just made the whole movie FPS like hardcore Henry.
I don’t usually watch series. But I had so much hope after a friend made me watch Westworld. Then when Westworld 2 came out your title describes how I feel about it.
Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace.
I remember sitting there thinking “holy crap! I’m going to see a Star Wars in the theatre”!¡!
It came out when I was a kid and I thought it was okay. Seeing the amount of toys that came out of the prequels, I don’t think it was meant for anyone past the age of 15, lol.
Yeah. It was totally marketed for kids.
Nobody who had hit puberty enjoyed Jar Jar Binks.
MEESA WANTS TO KILL MEESA SELF
Yeah I was a senior in high school and everyone was skipping class on opening day to see it. What a goddamn disappointment!
Yes I was a freshman in high school went it came out and me and my friends went opening nite and we were so excited afterwards, then I went by myself the next nite and yea it wasn’t good. Even now watching it it’s not great. The pad race was good but that’s it.
