Big films in general, the more the hype the more I know I will get the urge to walk out or switch off before the end.

Someone. possibly one of the wise sages on here, gave a rule-of-thumb that any film they had to advertise on the side of bus would nearly always be pants. This is nearly the same as the "big films" category.

That said, I thought that Ender's Game was pretty good, and Gravity was far better than I expected, or far better than I feared anyway, and even Hunger Games was rather well done despite being derivative tosh underneath

My george foreman grill. Just been dumped in the bin as it has sat at the back of the cupboard for at least 5 years without being used. Total crap, the temp couldn't be regulated and cleaning it was a pita.
