The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

What have you always thought sounded fun or interesting and tried watching/reading/etc but just couldn't seem to get into?

For me its Discworld. It seems so fun! But unfortunately I just don't vibe with Pratchett's writing :(

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

Jupiter Ascending. And the problem literally was lack of chemistry - I've liked Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum in other things but they were awful together.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

I hate when on paper I am into a pairing but then you see them in action and the chemistry just isn't there.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

I couldn't find that movie more than fun to watch once, and the reason is entirely that I find Channing Tatum ugly. If not for that, it would be one of my favorite movies.

I feel bad because I don't have anything against him as an actor in general, but him playing what was specifically designed to be a hot character in a sexy romance was too dissonant.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

I've tried watching Wakanda Forever many times, but I've never gotten more than half an hour in before being distracted by something else. It just doesn't hold my interest.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

I can't get past the prank call opening on Star Wars The Last Jedi. I dunno what the rest of the movie is like because that opening is just so fucking dumb I cannot move past it.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

I could not for the life of me figure out what you were referring to so I had to do a search. Took me a minute but I found it. It obviously left a much bigger impact on you than it did me XD

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

I'd swear to god that I've seen this movie but I just rewatched the scene and have no memory of it. Is that... is that real, or a BTS joke?

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

Fantasy unfortunately. I enjoy movies and shows well enough but cannot get into fantasy literature. I tried GoT three different ways, never felt the urge to read Harry Potter, and while I enjoyed the first Rivers of London, never felt the need to read the rest.

I've tried multiple times to get into Stardew Valley and just get bored. Same with Pokemon games. I cannot stand how you have to fight everyone.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

as an old fart I always wanted to try D&D but y'know, satanic panic forbids it, so now I'm old enough and have gamer friends and...yeah, just couldn't see what the hype was about. I could not for the life of me enjoy it.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

I have always wanted to try it but I secretly feel/fear that I would end up the same way, just nit really getting it

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

Aw, sorry to hear that, Anon. Probably doesn’t help that the D&D experience is HEAVILY dependent on your DM and the group you’re playing with. If you don’t click with the DM’s style or the people in the group, it wouldn’t be much of an experience.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[sparklywalls]

I apparently made the mistake of starting with The Colour of Magic because yeah, I just abandoned it and didn't really want to try again.

For me: I know it's one of those things where it's almost cool to be contrarian and hate on it for being popular, but believe me on paper Rick and Morty sounded like it would be up my street but Rick and his constant drool/vomiting meant I just couldn't continue. Also I just didn't find it as funny overall as I was led to believe.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

Anything Star Wars outside of the movies. I've tried to watch some of the shows over the years and I don't know what it is but I get bored stiff whenever I've tried and this isn't me trying to just watch the new stuff, my gf tried to get me to watch The Clone Wars yonks ago and I shit you not in like 5 mins I was on my phone looking at other things because it could not hold my attention.

I think the universe is a fun sandbox for story ideas but something about it just bores the snot out of me.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

Farscape. I love scifi that is mixed with fantasy. And I don't even mind weird effects/looks. I love Doctor Who. But Farscape just doesn't work for me. Maybe just none of the characters really grabbed me? I don't know.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

I always feel rather guiltily glad when I hear someone else say that they could never get into Prachett or Discworld. He seemed like a great guy, and so SO many people love the series so much, but I just can’t get into it at all. It’s always a bit of a relief to hear I’m
not the only one that doesn’t vibe with it.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[kamino_neko]

Discworld for me, too. I've succeeded in finishing exactly one of them - Wyrd Sisters. Made good progress on Last Continent, but couldn't finish. Barely got through the first chapter of Mort, never managed even that for Monstrous Regiment.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

D&D movie. I can't get more than 30 minutes in before I'm bored out of my skull.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

Avatar the Last Airbender. On paper and from everything I know about it, that should have been my show but I just never clicked with it.

The Zoro/Sanji ship on One Piece. Again, it hits all the right notes for on paper, but I just don't care at all unless it's with a gender bent Zoro, because then it's interesting to me because of Sanji's issues with women and Zoro's issue with being the best. But aside from that, just give me all the platonic fic about them, now THAT'S my jam.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

Same with Pratchett. Also Ursula K LeGuin and Octavia Butler's novels. I love their short stories, and I love the concepts of the novels I've read, but I got bored with all of them quickly.

Re: The want is there, but no chemistry

[(Anonymous)]

Percy Jackson. I regret that I didn't read it when I was much younger, because maybe I would have loved it as much as everyone else.

Inspired by #4, What is your favourite Bond film?

[(Anonymous)]

'Licence to Kill' is my favourite, followed by 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' and 'Skyfall'.

Re: Inspired by #4, What is your favourite Bond film?

[(Anonymous)]

Casino Royale, because I love to watch Mads Mikkelson torture Daniel Craig's balls.

Re: Inspired by #4, What is your favourite Bond film?

[(Anonymous)]

I think my favorite has to be From Russia With Love. Obvious answer but what can you do? It really is the best.

Honorable mentions Goldeneye, License to Kill and Living Daylights. Side note: why do I like the Bond movies from the late 80s / early 90s so much? Even View To A Kill is one of the most tolerable Moore movies. I think it's just that the style of those late 80s movies, with the aesthetic moving away from goofy 70s cheese and with the 80s/90s technothriller vibes being in the air, works really well with my personal preferences for Bond.
