What is your suspension of disbelief? If you don't already know, it's when you're reading something (or watching, or listening to) and what's going on is so grossly beyond reason that your disbelief is triggered. But if you're entertained enough, usually you can trigger the suspension, and push that disbelief to the side for the sake of a couple hours of entertainment.
But there comes a point in whatever it is you're watching or reading that you will no longer be able to do that. The illogical and nonsensical becomes so overwhelming that the suspension just gives up and your disbelief reigns supreme, destroying whatever enjoyment you may have derived from your given form of entertainment.
Everyone's breaking point is different. For some it doesn't take a lot. For others it has to be blatantly obvious. But it all usually depends on what you've ultimately immersed yourself in. For me with Wither, so much science was stepped upon that I just couldn't take the rest of the book seriously. The entire world of Wither just didn't make a lick of scientific sense and I couldn't notch up that suspension enough to override it. There were too many 'buts' going on that kept knocking it away. But a lot of people had similar issues that I had with Wither going on with Lauren Oliver's Delirium, which I loved. There, for me, the good in the book vastly overrode the bad. Not enough nonsensical stuff was snapping out at me to draw me completely out of the story. So I was able to put up my suspension shield and go on loving it.
Don't even bring the Twilight series into this discussion. I'd wear out my keyboard.
So what it is for you? Which books (or movies) eroded your suspension of disbelief enough that you could no longer enjoy the work? Do you have a specific area that really gets to you if not done right (my soldier boy, for instance, gets a chapped ass when movies don't get military stuff correct, or when characters have shitty gun technique)? Some stuff out there is so outrageous that you know going in it won't make a damn bit of sense; but you loved the hell out of it. What were they? Despite the fact that that's a completely different animal (because you're going into it knowing it's outrageous instead of thinking it's actually going to make sense). What would actually chap your ass enough to put down a book or ultimately not like it?
