Hello Mastoworld. I would like to conduct a survey of which pop culture sacred cows you either don't like or don't get. No ugliness, we're all family here. I'll go first:
⭐Princess Bride
⭐The continued chances the Alien franchise gets
⭐All U2 albums after 1995.
@rotatingskull Re: U2: Which is ironic, because Bono has spent the last 30 years thinking he's Jesus.
So - is Alien a good property just waiting for someone to do right by it?
@PatrickKelly I actually enjoyed Prometheus and Covenant. IMHO they are good.
@PatrickKelly ⭐️Star Wars
⭐️Twin Peaks
⭐️Adele
Star Wars is not infallible but i enjoyed the original 2.
Twin Peaks never stirred my drink.
Adele - I mean. She can sing and all but, where's the guitars?
@PatrickKelly "Love, Actually." The worst.
@RexfordGTugwell It is among my guiltiest of guilty pleasures. But since we're, as I said, all family here I will say that I know it's not for everyone. I'm just a softy.
@PatrickKelly I'll bite:
* Most of the modern video game franchises. I miss the days of simpler games up to about 1995 or so; even though I usually played pinball when going to the arcade, I would play some vids now and then.
* Rap. Notice I don't refer to it as music. There's a reason for that. Where I come from, music has a melody, not a monotone.
* A lot of the memes. I look them up and still don't get them most of the time.
@PatrickKelly (hangs head, small voice)
i like All That You Can't Leave Behind and even parts of Pop
@natecull I'm inverted. I loved most of Pop but was generally unmoved by All That You Can't Leave Behind.
I didn't like The Fifth Element
@mike YES. I just don't GET it. Like. At. All. It's shrill and bombastic and an orgy of stuff. Hurts my brain.
@PatrickKelly I thought about this for way too long. I might've burnt myself out. And now, all I can think about is Snapchat and those face filter things that give me acid flashback type vibes of weirdness. Yeah. I don't get that. 😐
I don't like Tarantino's movies.
I haven't nor will I ever read all the Harry Potter stuff. No personal problem with them but never thought it was for me.
Keep 'em coming...be free of the shame you feel for thinking that The Muppets was just ok!
@PatrickKelly Princess Bride is a poor man's Labyrinth.
Alien is strong enough to overcome the damage Joss Whedon did to it.
U2 is the antichrist actually.
