The leftovers did that to me.
Anything Luc Besson. The scenarios are at most generic stereotypes with empty characters, with the usual ultra cringe sexy girl-child. People love his 5th Element, which is at best a generic action-scifi B movie, with no inspiration except purely stealing from Moebius. He doesn't know how to hold a camera, and he's even worse when it comes to editing. As a French, I'm surrounded by people who grew up with his movies and are very emotional about it so I can't say it too loud but... I hate it soooo much. (and yeah, he's a sex offender... who could have guessed?)
I used to like that movie as a kid, but I've had a different perspective on it, and other films, since coming across this video about the "born sexy yesterday" trope
it's an older video, but still relevant and edited very well.
Fuck Luc Besson, and fuck his creations (I don't believe in separating the artist from the art).
I'm there with two movies.
- Dude, where's my car
- Tropic Thunder
In both cases I know the quotes - I saw each film to the end! - but it seems like 10 seconds of joy in 2 hours of dreck for each of them.
Kelso and Stifler did a good job, and so did RDJ, but these seemed to be so little to work with.
I hope you enjoyed them like so many others.

This is how I felt about Parasite, tbh
Agreed.
And some of Tarantino's movies, though not all.
Fight club was another.
The Godfather. Despite several attempts I've never made it through, it just can't hold my attention.

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".
alexithymia
Huh, TIL.
I don't have this, but I definitely relate to coming around to a piece of media only after I've had time to process it.
