All of this, thank you. None of it is really bad, but neither is it world shockingly good. I just don't get why so many people name ET, Shawshank Redemption or Green Mile as their favorite movie ever. Makes me wonder how many movies they've actually seen.Casual Shinji said:
Bioshock I never got into because I didn't care much for the atmosphere, though I can see why some people liked it. Just not my thing, I guess.
Also, the Harry Potter and Dan Brown hypes. Sure, they were entertaining, but not much more than that.
Futurama.People talk about it like it's the funniest show ever made but I never thought it was that great.Sure it has moments(usually involving Zapp Brannigan)but overall I just never found it that funny
Guns 'n roses tbh.....just dont get the appeal to bad singing and good guitar repeated over and over again in some cases.
Good grades. Seems odd but the amount of people with 9 A* at GCSE who are pretty much missing any trace of common sense or just simply retarded at doing anything that isnt writing baffles me and people would hire them even though they cant make cofee...

Halo.
And just about every critically acclaimed band these days I can't stand.

Left 4 dead is easily Valve's weakest game. While it's by no means bad, for a multiplayer focused game it just doesn't have any longevity. It's pretty fun when I get 3 people I know playing it but... For me Team fortress 2 eats it for breakfast.dodo1331 said:
Halo, Robert Patterson, Michael jackson, cocaine, Rubber ducks (they''re made of plastic), The color blue and also "Fringes" on haircuts, tonsillitis, hobknobs, barrack obama (we get it, he's black.).
(before i am mobbed by an boys/girls. not all of the above are bad, except Robert Patterson.

-Nirvana. How they managed to become the musical representation of a generation is baffling. It's all mumbling and three chords.
-Call of Duty games, Gears of War games, Halo games. Just fail to see the magical appeal. Mostly because Gears of War = Halo in my mind.
-The Office I just don't find funny. Maybe I need to be an office worker.
-99% of racing games. I fail to see the appeal in "realistic" driving.
-Harry Potter books are mediocre, Twilight is awful.
-Any popular band from the last 5 years with one or two exceptions.

I may get a lot of heat from this, but I absolutely HATED Shadow of the Colossus. I'm usually a huge fan of art house games that push the envelope like Braid, Spider, Katamari Damaci (dunno if that's really considered Art House) and even Ico (same team). But in this case, I found utterly boring and stopped playing after I spent 10 minutes trying to kill the first colossus. Sure, the graphics were amazing and so were the music and general ambiance, but it wasn't enough for me to actually keep playing...
Batman: Arkham Asylum...the comic, that is. It's generally considered to be one of the best Batman stories ever. I don't understand why in the least bit. Batman is completely and utterly out of character. I understand the need to make him question his own sanity, but he flips out during a simple word game. Really? He also does nothing while someone is under attack directly in front of him, and near the end he says the bad guy deserved to die. The art is...okay I guess. It's just not my thing. It can be hard to tell what I'm looking at, but the worst part is Joker's dialogue. They use a bright red font that clashes with the rest of the colors, making it really hard to read at times.
The backstory involving Armadeus Arkham is cool, but now you can get the exact same thing by playing the game. Which I think is a trillion times better.
Also, Avatar. It's pretty and has some cool action scenes, but the story and characters are bland.

Bioshock and Portal mostly. Whats with all the Shawshank hate here too, that and The Great Gatsby. I loved both of them, maybe not The Great Gatsby as much but I still thought it to be better than pretty much anything I had to read in high school. Interestingly enough there's like 2 or 3 people I know who'd agree with me on that and everyone else disliked it, they even did a poll on which book was people's favorites and Catcher in the Rye was on top and The Great Gatsby was in last...
