Well, that certainly is a unpopular opinion.

I was only aware of Strange Days and Point Break by her. Since these are both favorites, I'll definitely check out her vamp movie at your suggestion and let you know what I think of it. Thanks

I think that The Sopranos is a better show than Game of Thrones.

Got some more

-I think the most recent Power Rangers seasons, Megaforce and Super Megaforce, are not as bad as the fandom thinks they are. Problematic? Yes. Wooden characters? Yes, attroticious editing? In spades, but it's still a lot of cheesy escapist fun with some narm charm to it

-I prefer to 'ship Lisa Simpson with Ralph Wiggum over Lisa and Milhouse in Simpsons fandom

-I liked the Spider-Man Unlimited animated series a lot. It dared to do something altogether very different with the character placing him in a more fantastical and weird little world with odd characterisations and interpretations of familiar faces. it's a shame Marvel were bankrupt at the time and the show lost to Pokemon in the ratings

Joss Whedon is mediocre at best and gets way too much praise for the success of Avengers.

[MrTMNT2012]

Game of Thrones is the most overrated show of all time!

[ZariusTwo]

Some more wrestling opinions

Vince Russo is'nt a bad writer at all.

Jeff Jarret is awesome and had one of the better lengthy title reigns of the 2000s

The TNA product on it's worst day has been better than the WWE for years

[Prowler]

Modern Family isn't funny.

Toy Story 2 was a letdown.

Princess Mononoke is pretty boring and preachy. Don't get all the praise for it.

[Kanon]

I like Jim Carrey playing the role of Ace Ventura.

I hate the facebook movie.

I rather knit a scarf than watch soccer.

[CyberCubed]

I never got into Wrestling, even as a kid.

I have to stick to the cartoons and movies to get my DC/Marvel fix. I know I'm missing out on a lot of stories that are never adapted for the cartoons or movies, but what can you do?

Agreed. I never got into superheroes and such due to there being many reboots and story arcs. Not to mention how each character has been written by dozens of different writers, thus making their power levels very inconsistent.

I'll just stick to your occasional Batman movie or video game.

You should at least watch the cartoons. They have a clear beginning, middle and end and in shows reboots make sense.

Never really got into superhero cartoons as a kid except for FW TMNT. I do plan on watching Batman: TAS someday, though.

[ZariusTwo]

I somewhat agree. I've only recently stopped with comics either because the characters are constantly set back years by various retcons or because the characters are woefully written. I don't know how DC and Marvel sustain a market with their readers, most of the books are just dire, don't get me wrong, there are bursts of brilliance here and there, but they're almost never to be found with the A-list heroes, and then of course these cult books end up getting axed.

Totally unacceptable..

You and I have absolutely nothing to talk about. Ever.

In all seriousness, though, I'll throw my hat in the ring for Superman Returns as well. Routh played a much better Clark Kent than Reeve did; he didn't get to do much as Superman, so there's not much basis to compare those two, but he did fine. I really liked the acting overall; Spacey was amazing as Lex. The entire film was shot beautifully and is much more eye-pleasing than Man of Steel, which was a bit too dark. To me, the only thing "wrong" anyone could ever find with it was that it was a bit long, a bit melancholy, and, the thing I hear the most often as a complaint, "Superman never hit anyone". Seems like it failed to meet the arbitrary "fistfights and explosions" quota that people nowadays have for super-hero movies, but aside from that, I never got what people hate so much about it. If absolutely nothing else, it looks beautiful and the soundtrack was wonderful. I like Man of Steel just fine, too, but it sure didn't "feel" like a Superman movie, and Returns did, so I have a sentimental bias towards it. Returns had the right tone but was lacking action, while MoS had all the action but none of the "heart". Somewhere in the middle of those two, is the "Perfect" Superman movie. I hope someone in Hollywood figures that out one day.

Here's a controversial one: I really, really don't care for The Beatles. There's maybe three songs I like, and other than that, I completely don't give a sh*t.

I'm on Axl's side in the Axl Vs. Slash feud. And I really loved Chinese Democracy.

I kind of like Jerry Only Misfits better than Glenn Danzig Misfits.

I'm sure I'll come up with more later, I'm just busy. Literally nobody ever agrees with anything I say, so this should be easy.

Same here, apart from I don't really like any at all.

I mean, yeah they are popular and massive selling, but I've never found any song of theirs that I like or remotely sounds good.

[Leo656]

Yeah, I much prefer The Monkees. There's an other one for ya. Monkees over The Beatles, all day, bro.

[pennydreadful]

I think that The Howling III is totally underappreciated and that a lot of people don't get that it was meant to be a comedy.

I think that the paranormal romance genre (in tv, film and books) has had a negative effect on the horror genre. Monster movies are only just starting to get their bite back as a result of paranormal romance - it's a period in pop culture history that I really could've done without as I feel it brought nothing to the table.

I also think Joss Whedon is overrated; I do love Buffy but I feel that Whedon can really only write the same types of characters over and over again.

[Leo656]

I almost forgot: As others have said, I think Speed Racer was an underrated modern classic of cinema. Tons of movies try and adapt cartoons into live action and do a so-so job of it, whereas this film simply WAS a live-action cartoon, every single bit as over-the-top as the source material. It looked friggin' amazing, too.

Yet another "I don't know what people want" kind of movie. I could kind of understand people not being into it, since Speed Racer in general is pretty niche, but I'm genuinely baffled by the negativity. I've heard all the reasons given... I just can't agree with, like, any of it at all. It's really almost perfect. I know it's sort of finding an audience on DVD in recent years, but that's not gonna get the sequel made, unfortunately.
