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.

Netflix has ruined TV and film for me - there is just too much stuff now - quantity over quality.

James Corden is a massive show off and highly overrated.

Come on Eileen - dreadful song.

PuppyMonkey · 12/10/2020 10:09

John Lennon - boring songs, boring voice. Imagine is so zzzzzz

Brokeback Mountain was shit and you couldn’t understand a word either of them said.

I don’t like Mary Poppins, the film or the character. Chitty Fucking Boring Bastard Bang Bang as well.

Those Narnia books, zzzzz

Reggae music, I also find that sooo boring to listen to.

Diversity are not as good as people think they are.

@AfterSchoolWorry

Louis Armstrong's 'What a wonderful world' is annoying and shit.
Couldn't agree more. I actively hate it. Gives me rage. And it's used So. Fucking. Often.
Mrsjayy · 12/10/2020 10:56

I don't like, it's a wonderful life Blush

JaneJeffer · 12/10/2020 12:38

Line of Duty is just another cop drama. Nothing special.

Seriously79 · 12/10/2020 12:42

I don't get the Tom Hardy fascination.

Snazzysausage · 12/10/2020 12:59

Bohemian Rhapsody makes me want to rip my own ear drums out as does Cilla Black "singing". Dear god.

Audreyseyebrows · 12/10/2020 13:05

The only good thing about strictly is Claudia’s hair.

(That’s probably two unpopular opinions).

Audreyseyebrows · 12/10/2020 13:06

Blur beat Oasis hands down.

@BarbaraofSeville

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.

I sort of agree with you, can't stand Strictly, Apprentice, I'm a celebrity etc etc. And I hate all the superhero/sci-fi fantasy. Add to that pretty much all animation (can't bare Disney)

But I watch Bake off becuase I like the characters and the cooking. Totally not bothered who wins! Last weekend both my dds made bread after watching Bake Off.

And I love the sewing bee, becuase i love sewing. Again, not really interested in the winner.

MrsEricBana · 12/10/2020 13:10

Strictly.......erm, no thanks
(BUT Pulp Fiction is definitely not "a bit shit" Shock)

ImNotShpanishImEgyptshun · 12/10/2020 13:14

The only thing worse than hearing Imagine, is hearing Imagine sung by a children's choir while they sign along to it.

Freshprincess · 12/10/2020 13:15

Definitely agree with Brokeback Mountain. The whole film ruined by rewinding every five minutes to hear what Heath Ledger is saying.

I’d also agree that Ant and Dec have had their day. The drink driving put paid to their family friendly image. Itv will never let them go though.

Normal People is a terrible example of a relationship and not a great love story. Go meet some nice boys, Marianne.

@MrsEricBana
I did say it is an unpopular opinion. I’m secretly pleased that my unpopular opinion is unpopular and think that’s an achievement. Normally on these threads you get people agreeing with you and telling you that your unpopular opinion is anything but.

Mrsjayy · 12/10/2020 13:24

I saw Brokeback mountain on TV imagine sitting in a cinema trying to work out what was going on.

MrsEricBana · 12/10/2020 13:25

😂 touché (bet you love Strictly 😉)

FractionalGains · 12/10/2020 13:27

Ann’s Hathaway’s rendition of I Dreamed a Dream was overacted and demonstrated poor vocal technique and it is a travesty she won an Oscar for it

Mrsjayy · 12/10/2020 13:31

I love Les mis soundtrack but every time she starts her hoha I always think calm down Anne !

CoffeeInAnIV · 12/10/2020 13:31

The Big Bang Theory and Friends aren't funny and liking them doesn't constitute a personality trait.

Mrsjayy · 12/10/2020 13:32

I found Mad Men so boring!
I love Christina Hendricks in Good Girls but halfway through the first series of Mad Men and I gave up waiting for something good to happen.
I know it's well loved on here so I shall run and hide now Blush
