Mine, because I finally got around to watching it this weekend, Hamilton is all that great.(though I do have the dadadaaadadaaa chorus from the king’s song in my head)
So come on, those sacred cows of film and tv, why don’t you like them?
Oh yeah, the Beatles. The Kinks were better.

Why was The Big Lebowski such a cult hit? Also O Brother Where Art Thou, just why? I don't get it. It's not a Coen bashing, I loved Fargo, both the film and the TV series, No Country For Old Men, and more recently The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, but don't get the hype for the first two I mentioned.

Box sets, even most films are a boring waste of time.

WildRosie · 12/10/2020 08:09

Nirvana was a lousy band. Overrated nonsense.

Ghostbusters and The Italian Job are both crap films.

ANoTail · 12/10/2020 08:12

The vast majority of Scorcese films are ruined by being much, much too long.

missyB1 · 12/10/2020 08:13

Can’t bear that bloody Gavin and Stacey crap!

Fckingfuming · 12/10/2020 08:15

Oh, Also all Marvel, DC, Starwars and Harry Potter films. Why has Spiderman/ Batman had so many remakes/prequels/sequels. I don't understand adults getting all exited over such tripe.

planplan · 12/10/2020 08:15

Ant and Dec are past their use by datel.

How the deck was Keira Knightly Oscar nominated for Pride and Prejudice? Woman has one expression.

Ed Sheehan sucks.
Coldplay are horrific.

Fckingfuming · 12/10/2020 08:16

Forgot GOT, twaddle.

SquatBetty · 12/10/2020 08:18

Foo Fighters are way better than Nirvana ever were

SquatBetty · 12/10/2020 08:18

Idris Elba is a terrible actor (but I wouldn't say no)

elQuintoConyo · 12/10/2020 08:30

Game of Thrones, I couldn't get past the first thirty minutes.

Anything superhero related - apart from Amazon's The Boys - hits the nail right on the head!

Anything with Leonardo di Crapio in it.

Armageddon and that awful song.

The Beatles.

Micheal Bublé.

Reality shows (including that dancing one and bake off).

Forrest Gump.

sarahC40 · 12/10/2020 08:33

I loathe Disney films - anything animated. Strictly is similarly awful and I wish they’d cancelled it.

Oldraver · 12/10/2020 08:34

David Attenborough

Cant watch anything he does as his voice irritates the fuck out of me

MsTSwift · 12/10/2020 08:35

Ghostbusters 2 with women was far better than ghostbusters 1

Janevaljane · 12/10/2020 08:36

Strictly is vapid, idiotic, naff and boring.

AfterSchoolWorry · 12/10/2020 08:37

Louis Armstrong's 'What a wonderful world' is annoying and shit.

Nestofvipers · 12/10/2020 08:38

@AfterSchoolWorry

Louis Armstrong's 'What a wonderful world' is annoying and shit.
Maybe not that unpopular an opinion as I agree with you.
RevolutionRadio · 12/10/2020 08:40

I've never read or seen Harry potter or game of thrones.

I don't like the Beatles.

Nestofvipers · 12/10/2020 08:41

Pulp fiction is a bit shit.

Wonderwall by oasis is a terrible droning song.

Ace1185 · 12/10/2020 08:47

Top Gun is over rated and Tom Cruise is a wee arsehole

iamaMused · 12/10/2020 08:49

😂😂 I have to agree as much as I like most of the Beatles songs I much prefer the kinks and the stones. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is to say that, only on this anonymous 'safe space' I live very close to Liverpool and every visit I feel as if everyone knows my dreadful secret. Also, I'm really not fond of any of Andrew Lloyd Webber's shows, I love the theatre but not his stuff.

Plussizejumpsuit · 12/10/2020 09:20

@ANoTail

The vast majority of Scorcese films are ruined by being much, much too long.
Haha! This is true. I do like his films but still true.

Musicals aren't good.

The best theatre is small scale, very little set, a few actors.

I agree onbre the beatles very meh.

Sci fi / speculative fiction is underrated as a genre because lots of people have little imagination and aren't clever enough yo see the things going on beyond the setting.

BarbaraofSeville · 12/10/2020 09:35

I hate absolutely all reality/competition shows. Bake Off, Strictly, Jungle, the Apprentice the lot. Can't stand all the fake tension crap.

Not at all interested in any sci fi, fantasy or comic book films either. They all just seem very dull. Sadly just about everyone I know are obsessed with one or both of the above.

Zaphodsotherhead · 12/10/2020 09:38

That Jeremy Clarkson is actually a lot more intelligent than people realise.

And that ALL reality TV is cheaply made crap for the masses. All those kids going through RADA every year and yet you can get members of the public to show their tits for peanuts without any training at all if they think they'll get a job after the exposure. 'Ah wannah be a PRESENAH'.

Rant over.

Mrsjayy · 12/10/2020 09:39

Netflix is trashy and exploitative I am astounded people get hooked on tiger king and families been murdered as entertainment!
