Mine are as follows:
- I will never ever see a film with Adam Sandler in it. Yes, I've seen some of his films in the past and I regret it.
- I will never ever see another film that has been directed by or has Kevin Smith in it. To me he epitomizes the kind of self referential pop culture wanksterism that I so despise. He's under the impression he's talented and witty. However the reality is he's a fat blowhard who's fifteen minutes of fame were up years ago. Seriously Kevin, stop raping the corpse of pop culture and go get a job that requires you to give back to the world for a change.
- I will never ever see a film where the star plays either a retarded person or a racist who sees the light through the power of the love of a good man or woman or because of Jesus.
- If a film has a performance in it that's labeled 'brave' or 'fearless' I'm not seeing it.
- I won't buy Elvis Costello CD's that are jazz, classical, or Burt Bacharach inspired.
- If Julia Roberts is in a film, I'm out. Forget it. I will not see her in anything.
- I'm all in on films about con men and dystopian sci fi films.
- I'm all in on comedies featuring Steve Coogan, Dawn French, Ricky Gervais, and Peter Serafinowicz.
- I'll watch most anything with Olivia Colman, Jessica (Stevenson) Hynes, and all my adopted actors.
- Films made from characters from Saturday Night Live sketches? Never. Forget it. Not gonna see them.

My favorite is your last point. Couldn't agree more!
re: Adam Sandler. I feel the same way about Ben Affleck.
Elvis Costello lost me a long time ago for the same reasons. One can evolve and grow as an artist without losing what made them so special in the first place.
The only movie I would see Adam Sandler in would be a gay porno movie. He's incredibly hot looking, but his movies are too stupid to be bothered with.
Not a bad list, Dr. Monkey.
I like caper movies, so those almost always get a green light. Gimme a good heist movie any day, and I'm happy.
I was stuck on a transatlantic flight years ago and due to a malfunction all the way from California to the UK, The Runaway Bride played nonstop in a loop. I have seen a lifetime of Julia Roberts for the both of us.
