It's the "Things we Hate" meme! Is there a song, film or book that you thought was terrible, but to your continuing amazement everybody else seems to love? Show them how foolish and deluded they are by listing it here! - tyrell via marysiak

Movie: Inventing the Abbotts strikes me first. It was on cable and I was watching it out of utter boredom until a plot twist out of nowhere just...utterly ruined the movie for me, and I couldn't even finish it.

Books: Portrait of a Lady by Henry James. Took an entire class based around it. One of the worst experiences of my life. Awful, awful book, I'm sorry. Made me want to dig up and desecrate his corpse.

Music: "Give a Little Bit," the Goo Goo Dolls. Seriously. I will not brake if I see them crossing the street. An atrocity. I'm not saying Supertramp is implacable, but this is emblematic of a song remake that didn't need to be made by a group that doesn't get it. And it's not hard. Still. It's a travesty.

Re: Thomas Hardy's Tess Of The Durbervilles

I suppose I should look for a copy of Portrait of a Lady before I argue the matter, but if it truly is worse than Tess, I would most likely use a spork to gouge out my eyes in an effort to blind my mind's eye. This of course would leave me sightless with only the mental images from the book to give me solace. It would be utterly maddening.

So, on second thought, perhaps I shouldn't.
