In fact, as a rule, I don't like all mafia media. If it's about the mafia or mafia related stuff, I ain't interested.

Grimes, disregarding how awful and dumb she is as a person, I do not understand how people like her music. She can't sing to save her life and her music is pretty generic. Maybe I'm not taking the right kind of drugs but I find her music just plain not good

git apologist posted:game of thrones obviously, what an absolute pile of poo poo I watched a whole season of Game of Thrones, and when it didn't improve, I abandoned it. When I told people about my experience, their reaction was literally always "oh, you gotta stick it out for longer." Excuse me, why? A whole season, and more? The show had its chance, and it failed. GI Joe jobs posted:The common defense made for musicals is that you haven't seen the right ones. False, I hate them all. People do the same thing with anime. It's true that Cowboy Bebop has great music, it's also true that I can listen to it without having to endure Ed. DicktheCat posted:Also, if I never have to watch another loving musical, I'll be just fine.  I went to see Rent on a field trip in high school, and literally the only part of it I "enjoyed" was how fascinatingly awful the songs were. It almost seemed as if they were perfectly, scientifically designed to be as unappealing as possible to human ears, and they only got worse as the play went on.quote:Musical theatre nerds can be such pushy little psychos over a non-issue. I don't get it. I was in drama club from 6th to 12th grade, and being IN musicals was fun for me. Singing is fun, acting is fun. Did I like sitting back & watching a musical happen though? Other than watching Disney movies when I was little (pre-drama club little), hell no.

Musicals would be a lot better if they just took the best 1/3 to 1/2 of the songs and cut the rest. No one gives a poo poo about the 10th best song in a musical but for some reason it still exists.

I swear to god I read a thread in A/T where someone confessed they were a moderately famous actor on a TV sitcom and they just got busted doing something with their female CoStars shoes and then TJ Miller got cut from the show. Someone please back me up.

TJ Miller got cut I think because he broke his brain on drugs and going on a manic episode and doing a bomb threat on amtrak, I know I'm wrong on some details here but that's the gist

Okay, so I feel like I'm fumbling something with True Detective. I usually enjoy the subject matter, the actors, and prestige drama in general. But the dialogue in this struck me as so navel-gazey and "the writer is speaking" that I couldn't stand it. McConaughey's character seemed like he was trying to wax cowboy poetic with every line, which I guess would be fine if he was ever saying something and not just wringing every last syllable out of bog standard thoughts. Is there a reason McConaughey's character speaks like that and draws out. Every. loving. Thought? Is he a failed drama major who, after his rancher father's murder went unsolved, vowed to join the cophood to crack the case and prove to his dead dad he's not a failure after all? Is that it?

TontoCorazon posted:I hated the Rugrats as a kid with a passion, the show was so loving boring and ugly and almost never funny. Cannot understand how people have such a strong nostalgia trip for it. All my friends watched Rugrats in elementary school and I never understood why, that show sucked. Watching the Office just made wonder what the gently caress was wrong with people who liked the show, every character was super lovely to literally everyone. Creed was the only good thing in the show. I never liked Christmas movies but I dated someone who lived for them. Oh wow another Christmas miracle, praise the yule log

True Detective as a series has a thing with characters speaking oddly and it usually comes out sounding weird, see also: Vince Vaughn in season 2 It's like they really wanted characters to speak like they do in old Noir movies but forgot how characters spoke in old Noir movies.

Played by, natch, Charlize Theron. Rita is mentally a child and Michael doesn't notice and almost marries her 😭 It doesn't age well

StrangersInTheNight posted:I had to bail at the suburban mom and Russian conspiracy theorist somehow ending up IN RUSSIA doing spycraft. Now I kinda can't believe I ever made it that far. Yeah season 1 was interesting as it felt like the kids were in danger & that there as a well thought out mythology. Fast forward to the mall where the Soviet Union somehow built the world’s deepest bunker complete with an elevator in the American heartland undetected, and sends uniformed conscripts to wander around like a Goldeneye level.

Because the creator shamelessly plagiarized the dialogue from horror writer Thomas Ligotti and happily accepted praise as a genius & development deals while not crediting Ligotti or giving him a cent. This also led to issues with the dialogue not always fitting well with the story.

The first time I saw him I was about to call security because I thought he was a new crazy guy pacing around outside the building. Just had the same energy I’m used to seeing off our regular problem people. On topic to the thread tho. I have never understood what people see in LOTR. Books or movies. I’ve done them all exactly one time and never had any strong desire to engage with them again. Related to that, high fantasy as a genre on the whole. I really just don’t find it appealing whatsoever.
