Ten Movies I Wish I’d Never Seen: Thelma & Louise (#1)

Tweet

The bad list is DONE! The final list, movies that have had massive praise and I’m glad I did see them, will be next. Meanwhile, here’s the final movie on the list of those I saw and really, really didn’t care for. #1: Thelma & Louise Hmm, honestly, this is NOT a “how many Harvey Keitel movies do I hate” list. (But then, he was also in Mother, Jugs, and Speed, And I didn’t care for that, either.) He kept his clothes on here, too, it it didn’t help me tolerate this movie. In fact, Charlie Sexton singing a John Hiatt song did little more than offer temporary respite. So this is supposedly the ultimate “chick flick,” huh? Hey, Bruce Jenner, can I have your used parts, then. The only thing I liked about this was when “the end” popped up. Well, and the inclusion of “Tennessee Plates,” one of my favorite John Hiatt tunes, and a great Glenn Frey tune (“Part of Me, Part of You”). Nonsensical to the nth degree. Louise kills a man who was trying to rape Thelma, and they run instead of giving the cops the explanation. Apparently, given how she doesn’t want to set foot in Texas, it’s a repeat of something that happened to her there earlier. They take the long way to Mexico, ending up at the Grand Canyon, and, with the cops behind them, drive off the cliff. Wish they’d taken the print of this film with them. I prefer The Ghost and Mrs. Muir as a great chick flick to this drivel. Apologies to those who like this movie. And to everyone, thanks for reading.
