In Reply to: IMMEDIATE turn-offs in films? posted by tinear on August 2, 2003 at 14:11:56:
will transport you right out of your "suspension of disbelief" just as seeing a modern penny transported Christopher Reeves back to his modern hum-drum life in Somewhere in Time.What makes me turn off a movie (turn off a movie-movie turn offs...same difference) is a musical sequence, especially if it involves two or more characters getting cute with each other, or one character getting cute with herself while looking in a mirror. Maybe the cutsie musical sequence is a new version of what was formerly an intermission...it adds nothing to the picture, and allows you the time to get a drink or go to the powder room.
Muriel's Wedding had a couple of them.
Any Julia Roberts film will have one.Other turn offs....overacted scenes
and violence and gore just for the sake of an "r" rating
and stingy people :o)
