Unpopular Opinions

[Omnizoa]

I realize there are a couple threads dedicated only to movies or only to one side or the other of unpopularity (everybody hates it but me/everybody loves it but me), but let's a have a thread just dedicated to things we like or don't like despite what other people think about them. Including stuff it might be kinda embarrassing to admit.

I got the idea when Zotis made this comment in TONGO's Your top 3 Video Games Of All Time (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=45483) thread:

I upvoted Sedai for Dark Souls, but almost didn't because of his blasphemous comment towards Blitzball, arguably the greatest minigame ever.

It seems like everybody HATES Blitzball, so sticking up for it seems very humanizing to me. LET'S HAVE MORE OF THAT!


+ + + + +


Music~
I FOR ONE, actually like listening to Hollywood Undead. And NOT JUST Hollywood Undead... but Hollywood Undead nightcores. Yes, I'm weird. (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RV1ryzV9wgw)


Video Games~
I really like Tenchu Z, though admittedly I had a horrible first impression watching a friend play it for the first time. Ironically, I borrowed it along with a stack of other games as a joke and it turned out to be far and away my favorite of the bunch. 3/5 and 5/10 reviews damned it pretty hard.



Television~
I don't like The Office (the US version). Steve Carrell's a fine actor, I think he's great in Little Miss Sunshine, but that he's such an irredeemably stupid ******* and gets away with it every time is depressing and distracts from the timeless love story going on in the background (http://funnyand.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/I_love_Dwight_and_Jim_20140210_IloveDwightandJim.jpg).


Movies~
DAMN, Hook has some awful review scores. I acknowledge it's fairly glaring issues, but come ooonnn... it's still so much fun!

Miscellany~
Digital media. I use it all the friggen' time, but jeez I just want my stuff on a disc, you know? You never know when a harddrive's gonna die, a power surge is gonna fry, or an online service is gonna go down, erasing what you have, or even worse, eliminating your access to the thing altogether. We need physical backups!

I got bored of Game Of Thrones after the Season 4 Premiere and haven't watched it since.

[Mr Minio]

- There are some allegedly terrible films I genuinely liked and perceived as 'normal' films and not as 'the worst movie ever made', or 'so bad it's good' kind of movie. For example, Edward Wood's Glend or Glenda was a film that even though I deemed cheesy and cheap I ultimately found manic, imaginative, (unintentionally) avant-garde and simply very good. Vampire's Kiss may be considered by some a bad film, but I actually loved it and I can't name any other film that made me laugh so hard. Obviously, we all have films like these, hated by many other people, but loved by us. It's normal.
- My sense of humour may be pretty different from other people's and I realised this while watching a black comedy film directed by Michele Soavi called Dellamorte Dellamore. Now, it obviously was funny for a lot of chaps, but the thing is that I can't remember any other film that made me laugh so much since Vampire's Kiss. It's a movie about a manager of the cemetery, so the kind of humor presented here is indeed gravy, so to speak. Haha.
- There are of course some films generally held in high regard that I actually didn't like (that much), but I'm pretty sure everybody's got films like these and there's no way I can be worse than honeykid dissing Kubrick.
- I dislike rap and I think that it entirely misses my idea of music, art etc. However, there are some artists and albums from the genre that I genuinely enjoy, so it's not a complete 100% hatred.
- I'm of an opinion that words in music are almost unimportant, way less important than words in cinema. I rarely pay attention to them and that's probably why I can't connect with a genre rap is, which heavily relies on lyrical content.
- I'm of an opinion Sexy Celebrity is a sexy lad and I love him. I will tell him once I meet him alone in a dark alley.
- I simply love movies with very little to no dialogue, but I of course deem words important and Tarkovsky and Bergman are best examples of a perfect mix between visuals and words. However, paradoxically a film that recently reminded me of the power of words was an arthouse film, with, yes, a lot of talking, but this one quote especially strikes me at how powerful words can be if you use them in a right way: "The source of beauty is love. The source of knowledge is light. At the source, we find sapience.". Even though it stems from an entirely another standpoint, culture, the meaning is different, I can't but associate this quote with a quote of a Chinese poet Li Bai: “We sit together, the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains.”. With great quotes like these, it's the power of words that strikes me first. Then, it comes to my senses and I try to interpret/comprehend it. It's hard to explain this, but I guess you could compare it to Tarkovsky's films. Even without understanding them you can love them and feel them. There's just some power. Some spirituality about them. Or maybe I'm just making it all up.
- For me Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon is not their best album. I reckon both A Saucerful of Secrets and Animals are better and I haven't heard all of their releases.
- I also think that King Crimson is better than Pink Floyd, but the more I discover the latter, the smaller the quality difference seems to me.
- My favourite albums of all time include Armenian Spiritual Music, Tuvan Throat Singing, Japanese noise psychedelic rock, Japanese new wave oddities, Russian folk music, Russian progressive flamenco folk, Huayno, Harawi and Shidaiqu as well as albums of The Smiths, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Neutral Milk Hotel and The Stone Roses.
- My favourite song of all time is either Zladko "Zlad!" Vladcik's Elektronik Supersonik or this one:

- I think that writing this post is better than going to bed.

Big Bang Theory is probably my least favourite show ever. It is just so painfully unfunny and obnoxious, i prefer other awful shows like Rules of Engagement to it.

Such an innocent comment yet so impactful :eek: Season 4 was the best season btw, if its the one Im thinking about.

Dont like Trump, whats scary is that means I have the unpopular opinion now. I didnt like him before he decided to run, but wow has he added to that in bunches since.

Im becoming less interested in the NFL and more into baseball. Theres is nothing consistent year to year in the NFL it seems anymore, except the Patriots winning :sick:

[Camo]

Allen Iverson is my second favourite NBA player ever after Larry Bird and was the reason i got into it. Not sure if he is anymore but he was widely hated before he retired.

I like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Mike Tyson and Rocky Marciano are the two most overrated boxers ever. Neither should make an all time top 50, and Tyson shouldn't even come close to the top 100.

I thought it was kinda funny for what little I saw. I felt it was probably one of those that would wear fast though.

I don't like sports in general.

At least not watching them. Watching sports is boring, I'd rather be playing!

? Well then why dont you tip? You know its a brutal backbreaking draining social mess of a job! Youre 1 step from being a beggar practically when youre a waiter. It sounds simple, taking an order and bringing food, but it aint. Its so far from simple ... fugedaboudit

I alternate tipping a large amount with running out on my bill. That way I can have times that I feel good about myself while still evening out with the money.

I love this movie, Rupert Everett is fantastic and the guy who plays his assistant Gnaghi is hilarious, Anna Falchi is great as like 5 different women I think? One of my favourite zombie films of all time.

As Mr. Pink says, it's the principle of the matter. I'm not going to enable a problem by "playing ball". It's the same reason I don't vote.

I alternate tipping a large amount with running out on my bill. That way I can have times that I feel good about myself while still evening out with the money.
For the record, I'm specifically referring to "socially compulsory tipping".

The last restaurant I went to doesn't expect tips at all, but I was very generous with them because they were super nice and friendly (I practically doubled my bill).

My solution, I don't go out an eat.
But the poor waitresses!


I... did not like Avatar. The Avatar-Avatar, not the Last Airbender-Avatar.

I thought it was silly.

I disliked it aswell, the pace killed it for me. I've never finished it, so I'm still stuck in season 2 of Walking Dead.

Why do you prefer the second Legaly Blonde movie over the first? I've only seen the first one, and really liked it.

I liked Bioshock 2, but not Bioshock: Infinite.


I like The Thing (2011) more than The Thing (1982).


I don't like horror. >.>

The Thing was friggen' stupid in the first movie, I like that it's sneakier in the prequel.

I also strongly prefer the teeth & maw monster design in the prequel. Yeah, it's CG so it doesn't look totally real, but the practical effects looked fake as crap in the original too. Practical effects monsters nearly always suffer when they're expected to move because they move like puppets rather than organic things.

http://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/jurassicpark-cgi-compare.jpg

It's part of the reason why the Xenomorph in the Alien series works, because you barely see it, and it's why the Triceratops in Jurassic Park looked so good since it wasn't supposed to move very much.

The worst effects in Jurassic Park were when we got a close up of the puppet T-Rex's face because it doesn't move like an actual face with muscle would move. The Thing is similarly riddled with fakey money shots that frequently come off as silly.

http://static.rogerebert.com/uploads/review/primary_image/reviews/the-thing-1982/hero_EB19820101REVIEWS201010349AR.jpg

It's why I'm never going to agree with most people when it comes to hating CG, because practical effects were rarely convincing too.

Carpenters Thing came out 25 years before, of course the graphics dont hold up in comparison. The others parts of the fiilm you missed is telling. Like the directing, the atmosphere, the acting, and the music. Im just scratching this off to you not liking horror movies because if this one doesnt grab you in some way, then nothing will.

[mistique]

I still haven't seen The Thing.

[Citizen Rules]

I don't like putting John Carpenter on a pedestal. The original Thing was pretty cool, but not a master piece. And the rest of his films showed a lot of slop in production values.

Unpopular opinion: I find Jimmy Fallon very annoying :mad: - mainly because of his clearly fake laugh.

I haven't seen the remake of The Thing but I agree with Omnizoa about the first one. The effects were not very good. I'm predisposed not to like the film but I actually like the setup. Once the hunting starts I'm out.

I haven't seen the remake of The Thing but I agree with Omnizoa about the first one. The effects were not very good. I'm predisposed not to like the film but I actually like the setup. Once the hunting starts I'm out. I thought so too. This is an excerpt from my review of The Thing (1982)

The scenes in the Norwegian camp and in the dog kennel were effective and added to the suspense, but some of the other scenes were over the top. As the camera zoomed in for a close up of the creature, I couldn't help but see the props as fake. There's an adage in film making 'show horror elements in brief, dark scenes'. I wish that had been done here.

[Omnizoa]

Carpenters Thing came out 25 years before, of course the graphics dont hold up in comparison.
That's the common argument against the 2011 version though. "IT'S ALL CG SO IT'S TURRIBLE UAAGGGHHH~"

The others parts of the fiilm you missed is telling.
I didn't miss them I've seen the movie several times.

Like the directing, the atmosphere, the acting, and the music.
They were okay. John Carptenter usually does a good job with that stuff. It's all about the monster though, and intrigue and suspense built on a monster that doesn't realize that breaking it's disguise is BAD for it kinda ruins the mood.

Im just scratching this off to you not liking horror movies because if this one doesnt grab you in some way, then nothing will.
I like The Thing... sort of... I didn't say it didn't grab me, I just like the prequel better... SLIGHTLY... better.

And the rest of his films showed a lot of slop in production values.
I really like They Live and In The Mouth of Madness, but Dark Star and especially Big Trouble in Little China are lost on me.

Hey, there's one. I don't like Big Trouble in Little China. I thought that movie was AWFUL.

Unpopular opinion: I find Jimmy Fallon very annoying - mainly because of his clearly fake laugh.
I haven't watched Jimmy Fallon beyond SNL. Got an example?


I actually like Yoshi's Story.

Hey, there's one. I don't like Big Trouble in Little China. I thought that movie was AWFUL. I hated Big Trouble in Little China, never seen They Live or the The Mouth of Madness....But I did really like Dark Star, last time I seen it, which was way back years ago.

I thought Dark Star was righteously unfunny and boring.

I recommend They Live for all the reasons most people recommend They Live, but my favorite is easily In The Mouth of Madness. Despite it's more overt horror elements, it feels WAY better paced than They Live. They Live is always a slog up until the main character gets the glasses and even when we have that LOOOOONG drawn out fistfight over getting someone else to wear them. It's really stupid.

[seanc]

I have only seen Halloween and The Thing, I figure if I don't like them Carpenter will be tough for me. I may have seen Big Trouble back in the late 80's but can't swear to it.

They Live is more intrigue than horror and In The Mouth of Madness is kind of a combination of the two.


I haven't actually seen Halloween, but given how much I generally dislike traditional horror, I don't imagine I'd like it much.

Nnnnno. The controls were undeveloped, both Capcom and Konami know this, and that's why new Resident Evil and Metal Gear games ditched them. Even if you want to argue that the more restrictive controls makes something like Resident Evil scarier, you're admitting it's not the monsters or environment or atmosphere or music or even weapons, ammunition, equipment, or items that's limiting you, it's the CONTROLS... which is immersion-breaking.

I've heard this argument a million times and it's never sounded convincing.

Don't know if this is unpopular or not but i really don't like Orphan Black. Tatania Maslany is so amazing in it but i really struggled to get through the first season and haven't watched it since.

April Ludgate is a much better character than Ron Swanson.

I prefer the US Office to the UK one. Might not be that unpopular anymore but it is blasphemy to be from the UK and think this. I really like the UK one too i just find the US one funnier and i like the supporting cast a lot more than the UK one.

Family Guy is pretty terrible. While American Dad is a great show and this is mostly because Seth has had no involvement in it other than providing the voices since Season one.

Mike Scully was a better Simpsons showrunner than Al Jean (Season 13 to now not Seasons 3 and 4 with Mike Reiss) and Oakley and Weinstein are only my fourth favourites after Mirkin, Jean and Reiss and Groening, Brooks and Simon.

I thought it was the FUNNIEST thing I'd ever seen the first time I saw it, but then...

...ehhh...

...that one episode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Splendid_Source)...

It's devolved almost entirely into toilet humor, running gags, and pop culture references now. I thought it was funniest when, like Seinfeld, it put an eye to the little things we overlook.

It just got offensive though.

[Omnizoa]

Im talking about the PS1 Resident Evil games, and the schematic was the same across the board then.
And I didn't like it then either. It was never not awkward.

It was stubbornness that took those series so long to even shift in the first place even though other games were outstripping them in the same genre, even in the same console generation (there are fixed camera angles in Super Mario 64 that work FINE).

Similarly, I don't like GoldenEye. This was the advent of analog control, sure, but Doom plays so much better because it's designed around that limitation. You couldn't aim up or down, but you didn't need to and you weren't using buttons to simulate cursor movement.

I actually like Duke Nukem 3D, but it's Playstation port, Total Meltdown, is an absolute mess with it's controls.
