1. Dark and gritty reimagining of fairytales or classic novels.

2. YA dystopian books/movies that start off with interesting concepts but end up about them trying to overthrow the government/system.

3. Zombie movies or shows where "humans are the real monsters."

Homely leads. Just stop. Actors and actresses should be attractive. You arent "pushing boundaries" youre checking boxes.

Most sports movies. Cant get past all the inaccuracies and downright impossibilities.

1. Anything involving kids and abuse. I don't care how good "Lovely Bones" was supposed to be, I could not watch it.

2. Revisionist History (I'm talking to you QT!)

3. Needless race and gender swap remakes.

Kind of on this note, recent movies casting Nicole Kidman as the irresistibly sexy female lead. She was a beautiful woman, but she's ruined her face with plastic surgery and looks like a different person in each movie. It's beyond ridiculous.

Modern Hollywood and ad agencies hate feminine beauty.

Alien is different. An actual alien is there.

The Thing was great. As was Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The many many since that have just recycled that type of plot are boring.
