I hated Catfish.

But I know a lot of people with good taste, like schaggy, who liked it.

Why did you hate it? I can't imagine having strong feelings for that movie one way or the other.

It's my own fault. I read/heard so much about it when it was doing the festivals, I was really looking forward to watching it.

And then I did, and I kept waiting for something remotely interesting to happen. And nothing ever did.

Maybe saying I hate the film is unfair. Maybe I just hated the experience of watching it. It felt like a complete waste of time.

I know quite a few people who hated it, and I read a lot of negative comments about it before I watched it. So I watched it with low expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. I think if I watched it in a theater when there was so much buzz about it I probably would have been disappointed. That definitely has an effect on the viewing experience. I think the marketing of it also has a lot to do with it, because the previews sell it as a scary thriller, at least that is the impression I got from it, and it is definitely not that. If anything, I just found it an interesting take on social media and the internet in general and ways people can live a new and virtual life through facebook and the consequences that has on others. Definitely not the suspense film it was sold as though.

I am surprised that this was better than I though. Besides, any movie that has "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" is okay with me.

We had broken up for good just an hour before,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

I take it that was the subtitled original. The American remake is actually worth a look on it's own merits.

The fact that Adgy hates this movie make me wanna watch it. I wonder what it takes to make him dislike a movie. After all he can stare at a pile of my dog's **** on celluloid under sickly green lighting and think it's really good and want it on blu ray.

Give it Korean subtitles and he'll say it's a masterpiece.
