ABC Family and straight-to-DVD movies.
You know what bugs me? Wait, you do. Ok, lame intro aside, I get terribly annoyed by ABC Family movies, and their predictable nature. You can assume they took a good movie, example: Mean Girls, throw in similar characters (sometimes a near relative), and modify the plot a teeeeeensy little bit, and BAM! New made for TV movie!. Even worse are the straight to DVD movies. Although I have never seen a single one, I crown the worst offenders as Air Bud and the like. They can't really make that much money on them, barely even breaking even seems impossible to me, but they keep making them! They serve no purpose besides in-car entertainment for 5 years old on road trips. They also suck with naming them.

The length of good movies.
Seen any big movies lately? I'm talking about the huge blockbusters like Harry Potter, Inception, the like. Nowadays, most of these movies are over 2 hours in length. People complain that movie ticket prices are going up, but you really are getting more for your money. But it is terribly uncomfortable to sit in a dark theater for that long without moving. I say we go back to the days of movies with intermissions. You're also lucky if your popcorn and soda last past the previews, so what are the chances of them lasting the whole movie? None. What about going to the bathroom? I don't want to miss the good part, so I have to carefully choose when I think I will miss the least. Intermissions FTW.

Jack Black comedies.
You know who isn't really that funny? Jack Black. Especially when he is reading scripted comedy written for award shows. Watching the VMAs the other day reminded me of that. I never even had the slightest want to see Nacho Libre, even though at the time, people were telling me it was hilarious. Tenacious D was stupid. Kung Fu Panda? Hardly funny. I don't think he even has a future if he switches to serious movies. His humor is quite childish, and yes, I do realize that most of it is aimed at children. And he need to shave his beard. Ewww.
