Not a series, but always more of the SOS, I completely gave up on anything from Woody Allen. I think Annie Hall was the last.
the Ghostrider movie. Has anyone seen that garbage? At some point, he's riding his bike up a skyscraper, like you know, outside, straight up the fassade. So I bowed over to the girl I was with and said, I bet you whatever you want he'll turn in a second and drive it back down. Yeh. He did. We left. Only time I ever stood up in the cinema and left.

Well, that should have been his swan song.Not a series, but always more of the SOS, I completely gave up on anything from Woody Allen. I think Annie Hall was the last.
I'm always surprised by how many folks agree, and yet how Woody keeps on...

Lost interest in Star Wars after the stupid "Special Editions". Started describing myself as an ex-fan after the first prequel. Still haven't seen the third prequel. Still call myself an ex-fan, though I did like Episode 7 and rogue One well enough (actually, Rogue One is the best film in the entire Star Wars catalogue - better even than the original Star Wars. (Not "A New Hope". It has only one name, and its name is Star Wars. "A New Hope" is George Lucas Bovine Excrement Revisionism, and I'll have no part in it.)
Buffy jumped the shark around the end of the penultimate series, or was it the one before that? And the musical episode was the stupidest thing in the stupid history of stupid things. And it was rubbish. And had only one decent song. And Alyson Hannigan's inability to sing wasn't funny. Especially when most of the rest of them blatantly couldn't sing!
Lost interest in the X Files when Mulder left.
I still love the Walking Dead. All the more for everyone who quits because "Waah! there wasn't enough gore I this episode! Waah!"
That was disappointing. I mean, it was such grounded realism until that point.
Just thinking of Allen trying to sling that sledge hammer while singing makes me giggle.... And the sight of me giggling is a terrible thing to behold!"Take The Money" is one of the funniest pictures ever made by anyone anywhere anytime. Anyone who doesn't think so needs to be locked in a sweatbox for a couple of days with an insurance salesman.
Remember being forced to go see the first Star Wars prequel with my sister and her new husband when it first came out. I had my forehead on the seat in front of me and was staring at my feet not twenty minutes into the mess. I only saw The Force Awakens when I found out Han Solo died. As soon as he shouted "Hey!" I knew exactly how it was gonna happen. Thanks, George, for ruining my childhood AGAIN.
Buffy had a musical episode? I quit after two seasons & I can't for the life of me remember why. Maybe it was the music, or something equally stupid.
NCIS. DiNozzo made that show. Don't bother with the others.
Preparing myself to be enraged by the finale of Doctor Who. Seems the showrunners are wiping the slate. I wouldn't be surprised at all if 12 changes into a woman. Part of me thinks "It's about time" and part of me thinks "I don't know." We'll see.![]()
Not a show, but I stopped reading comic books in 1986 because I was so outraged about the ridiculous "Crisis On Infinite Earths." I never bought, or even looked at another comic again for nearly thirty years. I still get mad thinking about it.
It did. Some demon they had to fight who made them all communicate in song.... it was really weak. Loads of people love it, know all the songs, bought the CD.... unfathomable to me. There was one truly great number in it which beautifully parodied early sixties Hollywood screen musicals, but the rest were pathetic.
I've watched a fair few episodes here and there, but frankly, nice show as it is, I've only ever primarily watched it for Pauley Perette.![]()
I enjoyed it a lot. I could have lived without one element right at the end (and I do really hope Chibnall is able to commit to finality in a way that Moffat has never been able), but overall, it was great. A whole series of Who without a single episode that I found abysmyl - eighteen months ago that was unthinkable. cleary someone stepped in and pulled the strings behind Moffat.
Chibnall's first episode will be the Christmas Special, so we'll begin to see how he fits then. He did a lot of writing for the first series of Torchwood (which was a mixed bag, but more okay than not imo), so hopefully he's well grounded in the universe. Can't get worse than what Moffat did with the latter days of Smith and the 50th anniversary, though.
