Fallout 3 would be one, simply because it got dull and brought back terrible memories of WOW grind.
Others on my list would be: the ipad, meth, twitter, the idea that facebook is the greatest thing to EVER happen to the internet,
And for shits and giggles, clothing.

mass effect, GTA4, Glee (i'm heterosexual thank you), halo 2 and 3 (loved the first one), metallica, sonic the hedgehog, zelda, star trek. think i'm done
The Catcher in the Rye. A celebrated novel, but I hate all the characters, so I have trouble stomaching their repetitive whining. I s'pose the actual writing of the some of the characters is quite good, but the story itself makes me want to bleed from my eyes.
I thought it was general concensus that while the Academy loves underdogs, it loves money-hats even more. I'm still waiting for someone to legitimately explain Shakespeare In Love beating Saving Private Ryan in Best Picture. Some movies of that type usually end up sticking around for a long time, even if its just in the bargain DVD section. Shakespeare In Love, an Academy Award Winner For Best Picture, doesn't exist even there.tehweave said:
Seriously, you think those two movies deserved awards.tehweave said:
While they might have been enjoyable (to some people), those are popcorn flicks. Seriously.
As for Hurt Locker... what movie do YOU think should have won, Avatar? I have to agree with you on the whole 'Academy Awards are sometimes retarded as hell' argument, but the Hurt Locker was one of the best movies of the year, and truly trumped the other nominees.
Granted, Hangover and DMTH weren't great examples, what I'm trying to say is that the academy awards picks the 'best movies' in cinema each year. And really, they're all the SAME FUCKING MOVIE.AccursedTheory said:

Honestly I just saw one of the movies (I think it was the first one) but I think it was enough for me to know I don't like them.elilupe said:
The books are out of the question for me pretty much because I just don't read books.
2001: A Space Odyssey, and i'm a film critic.
Bored the crap out of me.
Good cinematography though.

ididn't get no country for old men. It was interesting, and right when it started picking up, and getting really interesting, it just cuts off.
Fucking tell me about it. This chick I know loved Animal Collective, and she played it in the car with me once. I couldn't take 30 seconds of that crap before demanding a change of music. What's worse is this weakass, apathetic drivel is now being lauded by my best friend, who likes aforementioned female, and is cheerleading that shit into my life.SonicKoala said:
I want to ask the Escapist: should I kill my friend?
At the risk of sounding old; modern music.
I would love some one to point out a group or solo artist that emerged from the last decade who has the legendary status of; the Who, Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Status Quo, the Chili Peppers, Oasis, Velvet Underground, the Jam, Sting, Michael Jackson, Whitney Huston, Metalica, the Prodigy, the Smiths and many more
Note:
- I am not a fan of all these artist, but acknowledge they're greatness.
- I want someone to point out an artist of great calibre from the decade, not only because I doubt one exist, but also because if one/many do exist, I'd love to listen to them n try them out.
