nightwolf Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Eenuh - don't tar us all together! I hate most of walkers *cringe* haha. Today I realised my unlikely dislike are phones, I use my phone alot, for texting and internet, but I actually hate using it.. I baffle myself.

Nolan Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I abhor making phone calls. If I need to talk to some I'd rather to it face to face. That just isn't feasible most of the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I really don't like people who think that science is 'just one side of the argument' - that's not how science works, y'fools! This is particularly common amongst Creationists (don't get me started) and homeopaths. I also don't like people who think you should 'just let homeopaths be'. If anything, they need serious education before they do something serious to damage their health or wealth. Why? Because they're idiots: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I really hate phone calls (especially ones at work). One thing I have noticed about myself is that I can't talk while sitting down. I have to walk around while doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'm pretty useless on the phone too I seem to have an inability to make any sort of conversation.. Also, I'm not sure how 'unlikely' these dislikes are, but I'm sure many of you use, or have used, the following at some point..

ipaul Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Fallout 3 - really didn't like it, but I did like Oblivion. I hate Salt and Vinegar crisps. They are absolutely vile. I don't like Doctor Who and don't give a shit who plays him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I don't like Doctor Who and don't give a shit who plays him. This reminds me... What if Doctor Who was Doctor House? Not Hugh Laurie, but literally Dr. House in some weird crossover. He wouldn't want to help anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipaul Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Ah I've been reminded - The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. It's just fairly shit and lost all of it's appeal in it's millionth replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 On that note - First Person Shooters/Games. I'm hopeless with them. Hate hate hate. I hate not being to control the character properly, like having to turn and move with different joysticks, and then not being to tell what's going on at all. I only ever enjoyed Halo multiplayer when it was set to the only weapon being swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I hate talking on the phone on the train/bus. And I kinda hate talking on them full-stop. I don't want a bunch of strangers knowing my shit! That last part is hypocritical of my post in the poo thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I was watching The Fresh Prince this morning, and I was thinking the opposite of what you thought, Mr i of Paul. I still love it. It's a bit dated now, but it's still good viewing. One thing that really doesn't appeal to me is...Comic Book Films. I'm going to be in the minority with this, so I'm not expecting many to think the same as me. But I just can't stand them. Far too many. Also, far too many remakes or re-imagining of older franchises, like the Karate Kid film, the A-Team film. The cinema these days is filled with Comic Book films, lame comedies and remakes. That is why I appreciate it when I do go, because it's usually something I value seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-men/Spiderman vs Watchmen/Kick-Ass/Sin City. If so, I agree, comic films are laaaaame. Films based on Graphic Novels though are usually pretty good.

Retro_Link Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yes there have been many a bad comic book film, but I can't see how you can class them all as lame, when you have such great ones as Batman Begins, TDK, Iron Man, IM2, which transend differnt genres... and will be remembered fondly for years to come.

Fierce_LiNk Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Yes there have been many a bad comic book film, but I can't see how you can class them all as lame, when you have such great ones as Batman Begins, TDK, Iron Man, IM2, which transend differnt genres... and will be remembered fondly for years to come. Batman and Iron Man are ones I can live with. However, then you have Spiderman, with the horrible, horrible third film. (I'm also not a fan of the other films. They're really not that great) Then there's the Fantastic Four. Elektra. Catwoman. The Spirit. The Alien vs Predator films which may or may not have been based on the Darkhorse Comics. Hulk. Even then, there's been bad Batman films. Even Arnie couldn't save Batman and Robin. There's even Daredevil, and probably the third X-men film. FUCK. How did I forget Ghost Rider? As for the Sin City stories being comics, I always thought they were graphic novels? So, that's new information for me. Also, I'm one of these people who doesn't like Christian Bale as Batman. So, add him to my list of unlikely dislikes. He's also a terrible John Connor... Edited August 25, 2010 by Fierce_LiNk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea...other than TDK they're pretty lame. Although BB would be better if it didn't have Katie Holmes. As for the Sin City stories being comics, I always thought they were graphic novels? So, that's new information for me. I'm pretty sure he's just being nitpicky. Graphic novel definitions seem to pretty much point towards short stories in the common comic format put together in a format more like a novel. A (superior) sub-genre of comics if you will.

I'm not being nitpicky. The general consensus is that a graphic novel is either a body of work that reprints a story that was printed in comic form, or an original graphic novel which is only available in the format. If you're going by that definition you posted then all the examples you previously gave are both comics and graphic novels. But really it doesn't matter. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm a pretty good judge of things for myself. If I'm unsure of something, I'll check around to see what other people think, and edumacate myself to help further make a decision. That said, Dude where's my Car was much better than I ever thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Meh I own more graphic novels than comics, I find it easier - such as my watchmen, v for vendetta ones, I do have quite a few hellboy comics but I find I worry about losing them when they cost so much money. Can't wait to get my mits on the ultimate watchmen collection my friend has for me (technically for christmas - long story). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
