10. Entourage: The Moment You Realise Its More Toxic Than The Show
Because eight seasons of horrifying douchebaggery weren't enough - and because, presumably, most of the core cast didn't have careers once the TV series closed up shop - HBO elected to ignore the big screen potential of Deadwood, The Sopranos, The Wire and every other award-winning TV series its produced over the years, and make an actual, real life, feature length movie out of bloody Entourage. Like the Paul Blart sequel (which no one wanted either), Entourage rewinds the character development of the series finale in order to be able to tell stories indistinguishable from the television show... except for where it actually amps up the casual misogyny. That's right: the movie Entourage hates women even more than the TV show Entourage did, levelling up the toxic protagonists from merely oblivious douchecanoes to actual horrendous scumbags. Fortunately (for the sanity of errant but fundamentally decent cinema lovers the world over), this ugly backwards turd of a film barely made back its shooting budget at home in the USA. That means - in a lovely reversal of our previous M. Night Shyamalan problem - that we'll never need to see any of these human jockstraps on any kind of screen, silver or otherwise, ever again. Oh yeah.
