This and A Christmas Story are the two movies I just don't open my mouth around people about because they get downright mean with the "how can you not…" junk.

I have a soft spot for Korn (and a lot of nu metal) but like most of the genre they are atrocious live. I think the only genuinely good live nu metal bands I've seen have been Disturbed and Slipknot (who both distanced themselves from the nu metal label.)

I get where you're coming from, but I still genuinely loved the first book and was mostly enjoying the second. Until I got to certain parts and then Rothfuss revealed himself to be quite the shitheel and made those parts of the book I was struggling to get through even more ugly. I've never finished the second one and

It doesn't normally bother me, but I remember having to hold back screaming at Age of Ultron "Please just talk like a normal person! I'm having difficulty following or caring about this story when all of you won't stop quipping at each other!"

I always held out that if there was ever a good live-action Sandman, I'd like Jewel Staite to play Death. She's the best.

Here's the thing for me: I don't get why people think of the Nolan movies as some humorless void. There's quite a bit of brevity and some jokes that are really good. (There's also the large ham that is Bane. I don't get anyone who doesn't enjoy Tom Hardy's performance.)

I've only seen Superman once but I remember enjoying it. I watched Deadpool for a second time this morning and it felt like Guardians of the Galaxy all over again. I enjoyed both when I first saw them, but wow did my opinion nosedive the second time.

The only Iron Man I like is the third one (which I had so much fun with), but my favorite Marvel movies are the Captain America ones (so far, I have a free pass for Civil War but haven't gone yet) which surprised me as I don't feel all that much towards the character outside of the movies. They're just really solid

I've said it time and time again, The Dark Knight is a great crime film which happens to be about Batman, the Joker and Two-Face.

I'll admit, I enjoyed it on a spectacle level, which is the level I've enjoyed all the Jurassic Park movies on since the first one. At least it also learned a lesson from the previous year's Godzilla and had somewhat charming actors for their boring leads. (It also had two really meta jokes that I did genuinely enjoy.

Dammit, I will take "Mushroom Samba" over any of Whedon's "silly" episodes in any of his shows ever.

You're right. It's a Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star ripoff.

Just watch Cowboy Bebop.

THANK YOU.

I enjoy David Fincher's directing and the acting, but the story and message are so off-putting that I can't stand to watch it anymore. I used to think it was satire but then I realized, no, that's actually how the writer thinks.

Exactly. It's like when Peter Jackson was like "I don't like all that magic nonsense" or something like that when he was talking about making The Lord of the Rings. I'm just like "Why did you bother to adapt it then!?!" (I'm of that camp where if I'm able to shut my Tolkein nerd off I can kind of enjoy the movies but

I really like the books but I gave up on the show at some point during the second season. Like another HBO show (True Blood, which I stopped at the beginning of the fourth season) they decided to play up the elements I didn't care about as much and the "shock value" scenes were already annoying enough, I can't imagine

I think it's best summed up as "Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star." Because that's *exactly* what it is.

Lost Highway has always been my favorite Lynch film.

Agreed. There were only two that worked and were justified. (The aforementioned one in "Revelations" and the obvious moment with Roslin in "Daybreak".) He did get some great angry moments in the last season, specifically that "you'll have died for nothing" moment in "The Oath/Blood on the Scales".
