Why did Game of Thrones ever get made? Who thought it would be a good idea to make a darker styled Lord of the Rings, already a series and style of fantasy long since providing anything new or interesting?

Some of you might not call this an "unpopular" opinion but I seriously think that music that's in the underground scene is way more better and has more quality compared to music that you often see on the charts.

Crizzle June 29th, 2015 12:36 AM

Every single opinion expressed in this thread is absolutely awful.

That's my unpopular opinion.

Kameken June 29th, 2015 1:07 AM

-Dragon Ball Kai is the best Anime
-Offensive jokes are funnier than safe ones
-Dreamworks > Pixar
-People who think the difficulty of older games is a plus have never played them. Old games are harder due to poor quality control and technological limitations.
-People who buy way too many amiibos and sell them online deserve no respect as human beings. An adult depriving a bunch of children of toys is sickening and should be treated as such.
-You're a man or a woman, there's no middle ground
-The latest Godzilla movie has been the best since the original
-People who worry about what others like and don't like are sad
-Anyone who likes what I don't like is stupid

bet a lot of people would disagree with you on that -- plus it's hugely successful. I've never seen / read it so I can't actually comment on its quality but a lot of people regard it as like the pinnacle of fantasy shit which must count for something.

That what I've just done. I've expressed my opinion on the opinion of others. It wasn't a popular one.

top gun is the single greatest piece of lgbt representation in modern cinema

Apparently hating Bohemian Rhapsody is unpopular.

idk, it's quite the acquired taste. long song with varying vocal and instrumental arrangements. plus it's a bit dated, so sonically it's not what you'd expect to hear alongside modern music. i can see where you're coming from if you really dislike it.

That sounds about right to me! I do like other Queen songs, but I think the reasons you listed are why I just don't like that one. Though it's also that like... I don't mind varying arrangements in songs but I really just don't like the kind they went with I suppose. It also probably doesn't help that when it comes on the radio people go apeshit and start hardcore chanting it haha

looks like someone hasn't seen cake

like she's never gonna win an oscar but she and lisa kudrow are the two friends alumni that can actually act outside of friends and not be monica/joey/chandler/ross 2.0 in all their other roles

assuming you're referring to the first movie then honestly I agree, the plot is horrible when you take a proper look at it
but a lot of spielberg's success comes from the fact that he can make a shitty plot look fantastic

agree. to be fair, if you try to judge jennifer aniston's acting based on any role besides Cake, you'll find they're all the same character and her role in Cake is pretty standout, and she performs it fablously

Pepperton July 2nd, 2015 2:16 PM

ok let me rephrase then - after watching only friends, i came to the conclusion that jennifer aniston is a shitty actress

maccrash July 5th, 2015 5:57 AM

I've posted this elsewhere in this thread but to reiterate -- the day I realized that all mainstream pop is not Irredeemable Shit was a good day. I'd been so dismissive of the stuff for so long that I never actually listened to it for what it was.

Movie Legolas is totally overrated. (Liked the actor better as a pirate.)

Kirestananderson01 July 15th, 2015 2:09 AM

Pikachu isn't that great and I hate that they keep pushing the annoying little mouse into our face.

Esper July 15th, 2015 10:39 AM

To Kill A Mockingbird is kinda boring. The movie is okay, but that's because of Gregory Peck, I think. Same with The Catcher in the Rye and The Great Gatsby. Most 20th century American novels, really. Steinbeck, Kerouac, ugh, please, no.

honestly like I totally understand why somebody would be bored to tears by all of these, especially Kerouac & The Catcher in the Rye, and it's nowhere near the Pinnacle Of Literature that most people hold them up to be, but they all have moments of brilliance (save for The Catcher in the Rye which I'm pretty sure I only like because I'm a 17 year old white boy) in my eyes and they all stay pretty engaging. Gatsby in particular is beautiful. that's just me.

also On the Road by Kerouac is one of my favorite books ever probably, and honestly, I'm not even sure why -- it's 300 pages of them driving around America. Fuckin Riveting. but I love it.

at least you're self-aware of your flaws and how salinger's lasting imprint on the world is nothing more a whiny self-absorbed melodramatic bratty american white boy

i don't like fitzgerald but i can understand why great gatsby has held up over the years
it's not a perfect novel or one i'd choose to read again but i can understand why the writing holds enough appeal to last into this century

I find IRS Form 1040 to be a thing of beauty.

One of the best books I've ever read was authored by the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles.

jenniferclark July 16th, 2015 11:59 PM

it. A lot of the humor, mostly the nerdy humor, seems very forced to me. Five minutes in I could tell the jokes were forced because they have resort to the laugh track too much.

Sir Codin July 17th, 2015 1:43 PM

Final Fantasy VII is actually a great game.

Ashes to Ashes July 22nd, 2015 3:40 AM

Most art is a ticket for the rich and the pretentious to feel more rich and pretentious. Theres nothing special about most of it, they know there isnt, but it makes them feel special because others dont get it.

I dont think taste is even really a thing tho. You like what you like. As long as you like it genuinely and not for a trend then who cares if everyone else on the planet thinks it sucks and youve got shit taste?
