Entertainment things you HATE

The favorite novel thing leads me to wander what your LEAST favorite books, songs, TV, movies are.
My mother tried to get me to read The Good Earth and Grapes of Wrath and I hated them both. A Chinese guy who works his whole life to make it and get land and his kids just go and throw it all away?? Where's that get fun??
I hit the umpteenth page of Grapes of Wrath where they talked about how dry and dusty is was for page after page after page and JUST COULD'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! We GET IT. It was dry and dusty and horrible...And mind you, I used to read grandpa's Zane Grey novels when I was at their house because they didn't like the TV on, so I can read ANYTHING 
Songs I can't stand: Lou Cristie's "Lightning is striking me again"
Black Eyed Peas "My Humps" and Kesha's "Timber".
Just about any song that repeats itself too much makes me want to have a stroke. I don't know what it is about the first one, but it really does actually HURT my brain. Maybe it's the same frequency as nails on a chalkboard, I dunno.... I actually like pretty much all styles of music in general though.
Worst movies ever? I know we did the movies you hate thing a while back btw. Who can find that stuff though??
Highlander 2, Tale of Desperaux, Deuce Bigalow 2, Grease.
I actually liked Cutthroat Island and The Postman and those are on a lot of people's hate list.

I read The Hobbit and enjoyed it immensely. But I only made it through half of The Two Towers before I gave up. I mean, they walk through a FIELD and we have to hear the history of every battle ever fought there? It's a FIELD. They're passing THROUGH it. That's all.
I hate "Another Way To Die", Justin Bieber and most rap, Highlander 2, Matrix: Revulsions, & American Hot Wax are my most hated movies, Superboy was some pretty terrible TV...

I was about to make a very similar post. I read thru LOTR once in college. Tried to read it again later, and bogged down in a very similar place: halfway thru The Two Towers. Put it down and walked away and never went back.
And it's worth mentioning that while Dune is one of everybody's faves, including mine, the sequels start out BAD and get worse. I got through a couple of them, and then skimmed bits of a couple of the others, but no way.
Movies, TV, music, other entertainment, Oy!. There's so much of it that's terrible, the list would take forever.

In Talk Story, I started a thread about movies which surprised you, for good or bad. In keeping w/ the theme of this thread, I'll stick to the bad ones, and which I had hoped for better, Buddha only knows why.
Save for Happy Gilmore, most any Adam Sandler movie.
Grease has, and always will annoy the hell out of me ( 30+ year olds playing the role of HS kids ) ,but it's too entrenched in the society now. I can ignore it, but I have to recognize that some folks just dig it. At least Rocky Horror , though still not really my thing, has merit. Grease is just horrid.

I guess that's where not having the greatest attention span came in handy, I just skipped ahead. I do that with TV all the time, I'll just watch the last fifteen minutes because they do a recap in a lot of them most of the way through and I just play at guessing at the rest of the story. Drives my OCD hubby nuts though
I'll do that the other way too, watch ten minutes and guess the plotline. I even do that with books when the filler takes over the plot and there's too much blah blah blah.Wow, I really do have a low thresh hold for boring now that I say it

Sorry, try again. This has been debunked. Once again, you are demonstrably in error, and ensconced in the endless anti-whom-you-hate bullshit. Feel free to go on, and prove yourself more the idiot than you have already (Heh, if that's even possible at this point).
You proved me right here.
Thanks.

Before everyone's time:
You Send Me, Sam Cooke & Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Brian Hyland
OK, I did see Reefer Madness, so dumb, it's classic; I barely remember it.
...........
I happily missed some of the reputed worst, Howard the Duck, Battlefield Earth.
Yeah, Catwoman was bad, but not bad enough for my worst list. I was able to
watch the whole thing.
I seriously hated Dangerous Liaisons. Maybe it was well done, but the subject
is too offensive, as it was intended.
Everyone else liked it, Puss in Boots but I only endured it cause my brother
took me to it on my birthday & he enjoyed it. Couldn't tell him it sucked.
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
I've given up looking for the meaning of life. Now all I want is a cookie.
