Against the grain

[HappyGilmore]

I've never been fond of any HBO original programming series.  Soprano's included.  Only show that looks promising to me is Boardwalk Empire.

I'm not a fan of Scorcese.  Seen the man in interviews, seems like a nice enough guy, but put on one of his flicks and I have zero interest.  Same with Spielberg or George Lucas. 

Dug this thread up because I just thought of this one.  I have NEVER found The Peanuts entertaining in any form whether it be comic strip or annimated television.  I respect Mr. Schultz's lifetime work but just don't get it. 

I second this.  I've never, ever in any capacity found Peanuts to be entertaining in any capacity, and the fact that so much praise gets thrown it's way boggles my mind. 

[HappyGilmore]

I like John Mayer.  Granted, as a musician, he's really not terrible at all and quite underrated.

I have a major hate for the film "It's a Wonderful Life"  The whole premise makes me want to scream and throw things. (And yes, DS, I DO mean 'hate'!)

So there.  I'm glad to finally get that out.

(I do realize that likely says far more about me than it does about the film.   Believe me, I have done the amateur psychopathology analysis! )

I've never watched it and have no desire too.

Are you sure you mean hate its such a strong word?    I watched the film once, meh whatever.  I thought it was overrated.

Oh, it's hate all right.  Fuelled in large part no doubt by the universal adulation the film seems to receive.     I could take every copy, shred it with my bare hands and stab it repeatedly with a BBQ fork, stomp it in a mudpit, douse it with gasoline and dance around the flames as it burns.  I really don't like this film.

I used to think I hated it, but over time it came to the point where I realized I really didn't care about it one way or the other.  I'm pretty sure I've seen the whole thing over the years but I've never been able to watch more than 15 minutes of it at a time.  Most of it is snoozy but the ending is actually pretty good: Pottersville is a lot more interesting than Bedford Falls.

Wow. Never thought Newt and I would be on complete opposite ends of an issue. I love It's A Wonderful Life. The ending is one of the very few cinematic moments that make me cry, and it's probably the only one that does so consistently.

Now Scrooged - that's a Christmas movie I can't stand. Well, not so much can't stand it as I saw it, I laughed, I liked the cast, and I really didn't feel a need to see it again. I just don't think it's so outstanding that it deserves the "holiday classic" status people give it.

[Mr. DS]

I don't like the movie Christmas Shoes.   Its too bleak even for me.

I hate the song so I have no plans to see the movie. The song p**ses me off in way very few songs can.

Not even Tenacious D's old show?

Not really.  Got kinda tiresome.  Although, I like their album output, I just didn't like the tv show.

I pretty much find Kat Von D of LA Ink to be a bit repulsive and highly annoying.

You mean most people think she isn't? That's kind of a surprise.

Honestly I hear a lot of "she's so hot" from people around here.  I just don't get it.  Especially since she's been scribbled on so much.
