Richard Dawkins / Christopher Hitchens. both very intelligent and articulate guys, but to me they come off as snobbish attention seekers whose main motivation seems to be telling other people they're wrong, as opposed to providing their own viewpoints. (Im aware Hitchens passed away)


Disagree on Hitchens: he was an egotist but he backed it up, and his saving grace was his sense of humor and his unpredictability.

Sort of agree in Dawkins. His "selfish gene" theory is a crucial metaphor for understanding modern biology. But his anti-religion stuff has gone way over the top to the point where I think he's an embarrassment to atheists. To a large extent, his followers are every bit as dogmatic as the religious folk they scoff at, and he seems to eat their adulation up and encourage them. Still a very smart dude, though.

oh yeah I agree they're both smart and that hitchens was also a pretty funny and charismatic guy, but I still think they're overrated because they seem to have both become recognised as these invincible superheroes  of 'the truth', which I don't think is warranted.

btw this opinion is based on all the youtube interviews/debates I've watched. I haven't read Dawkins Selfish Gene, maybe I should.

Jimmy Fallon.  He's ok from time to time but the way people react to him you'd think he's the best talk show host/comedian ever.  Far from it.

Led Zeppelin.  I'm in the minority on this but I don't find their music all that interesting.  I generally change the station.

I didn't know Christopher Hitchens died.  I liked the way he'd speak his mind, no matter how unpopular his opinion.  That was refreshing in this age when everyone lives in mortal fear of offending anyone.

The one I don't get is "the Nostalgia Critic." Not funny or insightful, and his delivery isn't even close to professional. I just don't get it. I think one of the "minor" personalities on his site (Kyle Kallgren of "Brows Held High") is a lot better, although his writing is much better than his performance.

Blasphemer!
While I do agree that the Critic has had a few lame episodes, the majority of them are pretty good.  I do not like this League of Super Critics that he's been making a lot of videos with lately.  Lots of cheesy scenes with uber-nerdy actors/friends that distract from the reviews.
In my opinion, his best work was when it was just him and his brother cranking out episodes from their house.  Those were the best.

Robert Plant's voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.  I've never understood how they came to be so popular and why they're so revered to this day.  If ANY Led Zeppelin song other than Over the Hills and Far Away comes on the radio, I instantly change the channel.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
