Look for the funny in it - mainly the dialogue. What is he praising? The props? Costumes? Settings? Because those do deserve attention.

Or you can hide or break the DVD.

[othellia]

IDK, if he really does like the movie, tell him that the cartoon is way better. And even if he says he doesn't like cartoons, say it really means a lot to you. Or promise to try out/watch something that he really likes but you don't.

If he refuses to budge on the subject despite your obvious attachment to it just because it's a cartoon, then he's not too much of a boyfriend. :\

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure I'd hate that movie even if I didn't love AtLA. It was just so bad in so many ways.

I know that AtLA is technically a cartoon but I just never think of that way. I'm always kinda surprised when someone brushes it off because they don't like or are 'too old' for cartoons.

[(Anonymous)]

Granted, I love cartoons. I don't like anime-style cartoons. My boyfriend started me on Korra, and I was hooked, so he then made me watch ATLA. Uhhhh... I kind of inhaled it within a 2-week space.

[(Anonymous)]

Or you could tell him before this becomes a big deal. I wouldn't want to inflict a movie she hates on my girlfriend, and if I found out she'd been gritting her teeth and putting up with it for months I'd be irritated she hadn't mentioned something sooner.

Aw, you aren't a horrible person...

[insanenoodlyguy]

No, you are just an idiot.

You can tell him the truth. That this movie's following is for it's utter horribleness. That it's a camp following that mutilates your favorite cartoon. If you want to be nice, tell him you have gotten tired of it. But if you lie about your taste, he will assume you have shit taste and proceed in the future accordingly.

Be honest. Tell him you were being nice. It'd be better then you exploding later. If you can't convince him to try the cartoon, then fine. But that doesn't mean you have to watch this.

For fucks sake, if you can't be honest with the one you want to be closest to, WHY FUCKING BOTHER.

[azi]

OR! You can act like an adult and actually tell him.

It's a bad movie. I'm not overly familiar with the series and I thought the movie was bad. It's like a shitty Made-For-TV-Movie with a higher budget, but nothing to show for it, and it's just plain bad.

Regardless of that, being made to watch the same movie over and over again? That'd get old even if you DID like it, once upon a time.

[unicornherds]

I don't see the problem here. Just tell him you don't like the movie. You don't have to be dramatic and insulting about it, just say you don't care for it and put in a different movie. You're making this into a big dramatic issue when it's not.

[eaten_by_bears]

I wouldn't criticize you for being unhappy about watching a movie you hate. I'd criticize you more for lying extensively and needlessly. He probably won't mind that much if you say it was a sweet gesture but it's not really your thing. You're just making yourself unhappy.

[(Anonymous)]

oh for pete's sake stop with the ridiculous 'omg i am just such a horrible person' martyr crap. It is a shitty movie, but even if it was the best movie in the world that angel's wept to see, you shouldn't have to watch it. And neither should your boyfriend have to watch ATLA if he doesn't want it.

you need to sit down and properly communicate with your boyfriend. not just for the sake of not having to watch that shitty movie anymore, but also cause wow if you are already ending up in these huge sort of situations over a movie, i wouldn't want to see you tackling actual problems with your relationship.

[caecilia]

Maybe he'd buy it if you said you were just sick of it? I know I couldn't stand to watch the same movie over and over.

[shinyhappypanic]

You don't even have to tell him you've secretly hated it the whole time...just tell him you're bored of watching it and suggest finding a new film. I pretended to like (or more just never admitted I disliked) Lord of the Rings because my boyfriend loved them, but one day I got fed up and said something like, "Let's watch something we would never watch ever just to try something new." now watching foreign horror movies is kind of our thing and we both enjoy it. it's that easy

[amanuensis1]

Watch it with the Rifftrax! It's hysterical. And you can tell him that you've just found a new way to enjoy it and now you like it that way best. (Nice if it all went that easily...)

[dancing_clown]

The next time he goes to put it in, tell him you'd rather watch something else, because you're a tired of the movie. There's no need to go into how much you hate it -- that will only lead to hurt feelings -- just appreciate the intent behind the gesture and move on. And for god's sake, if he doesn't want to watch your cartoon, then let it the fuck go.

[gobbledigook]

What are those things called, like when you watch a movie and download funny commentary to it? Maybe you could try that OP, make the experience of watching the movie new for the both of you while making it amusing for you!

[sootyowl]

Having watched the movie myself, I can feel your pain OP. Everything about it was bad. So so bad.

Just tell your boyfriend that you don't like it before you dig yourself an even bigger whole and never escape watching it. It doesn't make you a horrible person for not liking a movie. And obviously you really appreciated his gestured as you have watched it a bunch of times with him. If he's a good guy, he'll understand your pain.

[(Anonymous)]

uh i'm gonna be honest with you op

if your boyfriend actually likes this movie and thinks it's good, he's probably a fucking dumbass. you could do better.

[zenity]

Why weren't you just real with him in the first place? You should probably just tell him exactly what you said here in the secret.

If anything, tell him how much more in depth the show is and watch it with him?

[writerserenyty]

... tbh this is my worst nightmare; I try not to be a movie snob, but hell I'm sometimes a movie snob. I'd try to be gentle, but I can't even imagine sitting through that once, let alone multiple times, without at the very least making tons of snarky comments.

[cadremage]

Look, friend:

You gotta be honest with people. You gotta be who you are.

If you don't like something that your boyfriend likes, then tell him. Be respectful about it, but tell him. Don't passively accept being subjected to his interests, because you'll always wind up in this exact same situation.

Relationships are about communication, and that includes communication about interests. You and your BF should be able to talk about what you do and do not like. And both of you should be able to not freak out when the other's interests diverge.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry but this is hilarious.
and wtf about hating this movie makes you "irrational" or a "horrible person". That is some pretty shitty language to be using about yourself, and not even vaguely justified. Just tell your boyfriend the truth: the cartoon has a huge adult fanbase which universally abhors the movie. There is nothing wrong with you besides feeling inexplicably guilty about having good taste.

[(Anonymous)]

Why not tell him that you've gotten sick of it and no longer want to see it with him?

[charming_stranger]

I'd get sick of watching the same movie after a while even if I actually liked it, and I find it kind of weird that the boyfriend here insists on them watching the same thing over and over.

OP, you don't have to keep watching this movie or pretending to like it, and it might be better if you don't. Talk to your boyfriend. It's perfectly possible to like different things in a relationship (granted, it can be a bit frustrating sometimes), but you might want to find something else to do together instead of watching stuff.

[sensualcoco]

Maybe explain that the cartoon goes so much deeper into things than the movie and it's a real adventure to watch it unfold. Hey maybe he'd enjoy Korra, that starts off with a bang.

But if he's still not interest just let it go. He tried to do something nice, just move on to other things and try to leave the movie in the past. Like other people said, just say you've watched it a lot recently and want to give it a break.
