I LOVE the Bowery Boys!
I can't stand Adam Sandler.
I like fat girls!  :twirl:

My opinion varies on the other points, but the last three seem perfectly reasonable to me.

I don't like Campbell's chicken noodle soup, nor really any canned chicken noodle soup.  To me, it tastes like chicken-dirtied water with slimy noodles and pieces of chicken-flavored lint.  Not a fan. :thumbdown:

I do, however, like the Lipton chicken noodle soup that comes in a box, but only the one with the diced pieces of chicken.  I've been told a lot of people hate this soup...

I can't stand many modern game shows like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Deal Or No Deal, etc.  The bullsh*t they pull to stretch out one hour is despicable.

I think TLC is a repulsive station that gives names to people with no apparent talent other than squeezing multiple kids out of their hoo-haws.

I loathe the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.
I dislike seafood...unless it's deepfried. Like shrimp and....uh...some fish. Love fresh water fish! (Live in Michigan) buit even that needs to be battered and fried.
I don't play video games. I usta play some many moons ago...but I suck.
I think Dan Akroyd has no talent whatsoever.
the GODFATHER bores me.
STAR WARS sucks! ALL of them!!!
STAR TREK puked after the original series.
I have never seen any of the ROCKY films.

I like the INNER SANCTUM films with Lon Chaney Jr. (that's a little obscure,I guess...)
I LOVE the Bowery Boys!
I can't stand Adam Sandler.
I like fat girls!  :twirl:

I think Dana Carvey is much more talented than Mike Myers.  

I can agree with that. He's a funny comedian - sketch and standup - and a very talented impersonator. I think The Master of Disguise is a highly underrated movie, which in itself is against the grain. Sure, the story is kind of dumb, but it's a great showcase of Carvey's talent. And for being totally made up on the spot, his SNL audition is hilarious.

Myers seems to have exhausted his supply of gags and characters. He's still drawing on the same sources for his humour as he was 20 years ago, and it's getting much harder to keep it fresh. If anything, it's getting dumber. And frankly, I can't remember the last time he appeared in something without a costume and a funny voice. Was it "So I Married an Axe Murderer?" If so, he hasn't even just plain acted in over 20 years.
Completely agree.  Although, he did ACT in a little film called 54.  It's the story of Studio 54, and he played one of the owners who ended up in jail.  But seeing as he didn't write it, and it wasn't a comedy, I think most people didn't see it.

I hate cheese.  Everything about it: smell, texture, taste, anything.  Don't like grilled cheese, pizza, lasagna, etc.  And I'm Italian...which shocks people as apparently we put cheese on everything.

I think Weird Al should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  (Apparently, so do a lot of people.  There's a petition, and even a write-up article in Rolling Stone.)  But there seems to be a lot of people against it too, as 'he's a comedian'. 

I don't really like the Hellraiser flicks at all. 

I dislike any Peter Jackson movie made after '96. 

I like Disney, but dislike Mickey Mouse.  (I'm a Donald Duck fan.)

Shopping at Hot Topic doesn't make you a 'punk.'  Just because a corporation tells you it is, doesn't mean they're telling the truth.  And the fact that these kids don't know 'real' punk and only know some corporate bullsh*t frightens me.

Yes. Completely agree. There hasn't been an entertaining new game show introduced in years. The fun has completely gone out of game shows, replaced by dull sameness and phony suspense. Give me The Price is Right any day. People playing a whole bunch of silly games on a flashy set to win appliances and cars and trips. Beats the hell out of somebody sitting in a chair in a dark studio answering questions to win what, from my point of view, is just a big number. I can look up lottery results if I want to see somebody win a large sum of money. Doesn't make for entertaining TV the way playing Plinko for a flashy new car does.

And don't get me started on TLC. Used to be one of my favourite channels. For a good part of the 90s, I watched little else. Now it's just a collection of cheap and annoying "reality" shows. And not just any reality shows, but perhaps the crappiest of a crappy genre. I try to avoid obnoxious people. I don't need them in my living room every day.

I agree there: when SA had it's own version of these, I told the makers that if I were the editor, the show would be over in ten minutes tops. The music they use in WWTBAM is also irritating and the local host looked like he had an overdose of botox: no expression!  :buggedout:
