"I've honestly never in my life given any thought to what i "should"
like, or felt i had to like something because some subset of society
likes it."
.
Yes you have. EVERYONE has had this thought, even if its just for a minute. Part of living in a society is worrying about how you fit in. Some people do it more than

; b) is that I just hate the angry, angsty, disaffected, “We live in
this world of muddled media and nobody communicates with each other”
.
That's the entire theme of "OK Computer", chief. You're hating a song from the wrong album.

Yes but one of them holds the seed patents to 85% of the soybeans and corn produced in the United States.

The specifics aren't entirely clear from the article or the headline, actually. There is already a lot of overlap between the anti-corporate and hyper-environmentalist types (a venn diagram of the two is basically a circle) and they tend to conflate multiple issues. "Monsanto" is a symbol of both corporate corruption

Is he protesting the use of GMO agriculture itself, or the concentration of GMO patents into the hands of a single company? Because only one of these complaints is actually valid.

The fact that your original statement is being ridiculed by literally everyone who has responded to you should probably clue you in to the fact that it's time to cut your losses.

What point do you think you're making here?

No, you don't. I've never made a souffle before but if upon tasting one I immediately get a gag reflex and the urge to vomit, it probably wasn't made right.

You don't have to be a chef to know when food tastes like shit.

I made one with your mom once. The dialogue was a bit repetitive but the stunt work was amazing.

Who would have guess that the "phantom menace" was galactic senate gerrymandering?

Israel-American. The double-whammy!

"Disneyfied/corporate Star Wars films"
.
Star Wars was Disneyfied/corporate from the beginning. Don't act like there was ever some kind of pure, "pre-sellout" era of this franchise. The entire thing was created to sell action figures.

Also, the prequels will not benefit from revisionist praise. In fact they have only

Literally everything Anakin says in the original trilogy, by both actors playing him, is unnatural and clunky.

I couldn't decide what was more disturbing in Episode II: Anakin telling Padme that he murdered all of the children of the Sandpeople who killed his mom, or Padme reacting to this by trying to comfort him.

Are you trying to say that you didn't find Liam Neeson explaining "Midi-chlorians" to a ten-year-old boy to be riveting conversation?

He just wants to learn force-levitating so he can do some crazy sex positions on his wedding night.

Anakin's descent into love-motivated corruption and power-seeking is actually a perfect example of why Jedi should not get married.

Mick LaSalle (film critic for the San Francisco Chronicle) declared Face/Off to be one of the best films of the 1990's in a decade retrospective list a couple years ago.
.
Not "one of the best action films", not "one of the best guilty pleasure films", not "one of the best so-bad-its-good films" - he considers Face/Off

Anywhere. Bars can legally start serving alcohol at 6AM in California. They just have to stop serving at 2AM.
.
I'm just as confused as you are as to why the government of California would prefer that people be drunk at 7AM instead of 3AM.
