She didn't break up with him after watching The Graduate, but it made her depressed because she realized that the kind of crazy love that defied logic that was on display in The Graduate wasn't what they had at all. Or maybe because she realized that's how he saw things (since in the beginning it said he misread The Graduate), and she knew it wasn't going to turn out like that. Least, that's what I interpreted it as.heyheysg said:

EDIT: Oh, sh*t, I was ninja'd on the "Dances With Wolves" reference. Maybe I should just learn to keep my posts shorter? 
The two things people rave about that I can't get to like are multiplayer games and a certain Brazilian artist named Renato Russo, who was considered some kind of god around these parts even before he died in 1997 or 98, I don't remember (maybe it was 1996...). You wouldn't believe the degree of fanaticism his fans show. Back in the day, whenever I said I didn't like Legião Urbana (the name of his band), people looked at me like I was some sort of weirdo.
In fact, everytime someone tells me I *should* like something, like it's my sacred duty, my dislike of it always turns to hate.
I'm still a fanatic Beatlemaniac, though. But I don't think anyone who doesn't share my passion is weird, just that they have bad taste...
Yes, I'm just kidding.
You know, I went into the theater determined to hate Avatar, because I knew it was just going to be Dances With Wolves in space. And surely enough it was, but that world was so beautiful that I just couldn't help but like it. Which doesn't mean I get all the hype over the movie (well, I do understand, but I don't buy it). But at least I don't hate it, and that is a lot coming from me...kman123 said:

Well, the only thing I've heard by Animal Collective is "Merriwether..... whatever it was called", so perhaps I'll give Strawberry Jam a chance. I'm with you, though - I can't stand synthesizers, which is probably why I disliked the album so strongly.qazmatoz said:

I don't have much love for Frank Darabont.

Why Avatar, of course. I hated that movie. I entered the theatre expecting to hate it, then I started liking it, then I started despising it.
Hurt Locker is also not that good but at least it is entertaining, if a little incompetent.

None of them are critically acclaimed anyway. Most reviews probably said 'Entertaining mindless fun'Jama7301 said:
It's good if you understand at the least, for e.g. I understand RTS's and FPS's I just don't play them.AverageJoe said:
Twilight and Harry Potter are good aimed at the demographics (teen girls and young people). But if you happen to be in those demographics and hate them, then it's worth mentioning.iLikeHippos said:

A million times this. To me it was basically Dances with Night Elves.kman123 said:

Oh and of course, all things Tarantino except Reservoir Dogs. Seeing Kill Bill get rave reviews made my head explode, that movie is at best wildly schizophrenic.
Pink Floyd. Everyone loves them but I find their music inpenetrable. A few songs, notably Wish You Were Here and High Hopes, are excellent. Also, I can fully appreciate that Dave Gilmour is a fantastic guitarist. However, I just don't find anything special in most of the other stuff I've heard, especially when compared to other popular bands of the time.
Just off the top of my head, and not all are new.
