Jimbob Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) PLEASE DON'T LEAAAAAVE! I thought I was alone on this! I seriously like them but my friends laugh at me and tell me they're terrible. I don't get why. How You Remind Me and Hero (I know it's Chad Kroeger but still...) is such tunes! New album (Here and Now) is decent enough, "Lullaby" is a fine song indeed from the album. Saw them live in Birmingham last October, seeing them again in London this November. Still trying to find someone to go with. Edited August 3, 2013 by Jimbob
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Two things immediately spring to mind. The Dark Knight Rises. I watched it yesterday and still can't believe that many don't like it or that some hate it. Metroid: Other M. Fuck you haters, I loved eet.
Jimbob Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 The Dark Knight Rises. I watched it yesterday and still can't believe that many don't like it or that some hate it. People dislike this, thought it was a fine movie indeed. People are missing it.
arab_freak Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Nickelback I'll leave now. I honestly don't see why people don't like them, yes i know half the songs are about sex, drugs, women and drink. But the music is good (according to me and quite a number of people) Check out #4. You're not alone: http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-celebrities-who-get-more-hate-than-they-deserve-part-3/
drahkon Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Browsing through my BluRay collection I found Perfect Sense. Lot of critics don't like this movie; no one I know who has seen the movie likes it... Watched it two times...and every single time I was scared of losing one of my senses. It made me appreciate all the little and all the big joys of life. Tasting good food, listening to amazing music, hearing the voice of people you love, seeing a beautiful woman, smelling her perfume...
Blade Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Im hating seeing happy couples at the minute. Cant see why
soag Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Two things immediately spring to mind. The Dark Knight Rises. I watched it yesterday and still can't believe that many don't like it or that some hate it. It's my favourite Batman film
bob Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Judging from the Dexter thread, i would put The Finale of Dexter here. It wasn't perfect, but i liked it. note: i did not say the final season, that was still balls.
nightwolf Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 The Dark Knight Rises. I watched it yesterday and still can't believe that many don't like it or that some hate it. I absolutely love that film. I watched it whilst out in NYC and so many people at work mentioned how they didn't like it as Batman wasn't in it much. I sat there in disbelief mostly, that whole trilogy is amazing.
MoogleViper Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 Im hating seeing happy couples at the minute. Cant see why That's the opposite of this thread.
Iun Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 The Big Bang Theory. Some people despise it, and fair enough to them, but I absolutely love it.
Raining_again Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Staying in at the weekend.... This is probably more of what I dislike, that everyone likes :P Bright lights, pubs, nightclubs, loud people. lol
gaggle64 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Silent Running - It's better than 2001: A Space Odyssey and I genuinely don't understand why it isn't obvious to everyone else.
bob Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Well i would put 2001 in the 'things everyone else likes, but i don't' thread, but i've not seen Silent Running. Is it similar?
gaggle64 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Well i would put 2001 in the 'things everyone else likes, but i don't' thread, but i've not seen Silent Running. Is it similar? Yes and no. It was directed by the guy who directed the special effects for 2001, about a man who hijacks the spaceship he's on with the last patch of natural Earth forest on board to save it from destruction with only three little robots for company. It is the direct inspiration for Wall-E - there's even an in-movie reference to it.
ReZourceman Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 The Big Bang Theory. Some people despise it, and fair enough to them, but I absolutely love it. I used to love it. And I still watch and kind of like it....but it is getting a little bit unbearably fucking shit.
Magnus Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 The Big Bang Theory is the most-watched sitcom on television at the moment. It hardly qualifies as a thing that everybody hates. Just people with a sense of humor.
Sheikah Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I love Big Bang Theory too. It's one of those things that I can't see how people can actually hate, it's just nice viewing. Seems to be the popular thing to express 'hate' towards overly popular mainstream entertainment.
Iun Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I love Big Bang Theory too. It's one of those things that I can't see how people can actually hate, it's just nice viewing. Seems to be the popular thing to express 'hate' towards overly popular mainstream entertainment. Well put. It's pretty sad how people just turn up and make snide little comments about things other people enjoy. It's attention-seeking behaviour coupled with a need to be the "edgy outsider". Fair enough if you don't like it, but be adult enough not to take the piss out of others because they like it.
gaggle64 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Sounds pretty good. Might try and see it. Please do. It's a bit of a cult classic, so it's always around on DVD somewhere and was recently released on Blu-ray.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Well put. It's pretty sad how people just turn up and make snide little comments about things other people enjoy. It's attention-seeking behaviour coupled with a need to be the "edgy outsider". Fair enough if you don't like it, but be adult enough not to take the piss out of others because they like it. Indeed. It seems to epitomise the current norm of having to have a distant, censorious, even ironic relationship with media; god forbid you actually enjoy anything.
Diageo Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Well I'd say it's likely to get flak from a forum like this because it's regularly accused of having negative stereotypes of nerds/geeks/academics. I don't think it matters if it does. There are clearly people like that in real life and it makes it comedic to have extremes rather than balanced characters.
Emma Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I love The Big Bang Theory and I actually think it's got better over time. Dan used to be really snobby about it until he watched a few episodes. He still makes out he doesn't like it but then gets upset when I watch it without him . Also, from teaching children with autism it's really interesting to see how well they portray Sheldon with that behaviour. @Diageo I do think they play on some stereotypes, but they're portrayed in a positive light. I also watch Glee ... but sometimes skip through the songs . Edited October 7, 2013 by Emma
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I also watch Glee ... but sometimes skip through the songs . On that note, a friend of mine who's a huge Neil Patrick Harris fan as well recently discovered the Glee version of "Dream On", and I must say I much prefer that version to the original.
