Uncultured opinions thread

A thread for those of us who have less refined tastes.

No arguing please, like the unpopular opinions thread please respect the uncultured opinions.

I'll start;

Oscar nominated films are often boring and rubbish. I'd rather watch old episodes of Gavin and Stacey or Ghosts. (I'll make an exception for Titanic, the greatest film of all time)

It's sort of linked to that BigFishontheTelly but I think councils should be able to compulsory purchase town centre buildings from greedy landlords and shell companies who charge sky high rents that are unaffordable to most businesses.

If council compulsory purchased them, local businesses could be supported into regenerating our high streets.

I'm so glad a previous poster mentioned sitting down. I LOVE sitting down, I HATE musical theatre, and I don't actually believe anyone enjoys jazz. It's a cultural joke we all share, it's bad and some people pretend to like as part of the 'bit'.

I love a Costa coffee and I'd always go there over an independent coffee shop. Also love a good chain restaurant, cheap and cheerful with good size portions. I'd never g

Fat fingers.

I'd never go to a Michelin restaurant, I would hate most of the food there and it would be wasted on me. I also don't like wine, it tastes sour. I have a childish palate!

I love a tacky seaside town too. I used to love taking DS to Butlins when he was younger and I went to Benidorm a couple of years ago and had a right laugh.

Ive only just found this thread!
<cracks knuckles>

Green pot noodles with buttered white bread to dip in it - god level food.
"arthouse" and "acclaimed" films are shit, give me zombies or sharks any day.
black and white films - and I include its a wonderful life - also shit.
Violent films like John Wick (1,2,3,4) are excellent.

"Artisan" eateries - wanky food served to wanky people, usually on a slate.
While British comedy has had some corkers - America now beats it.
Bronte, Shakespeare, Austen - mind-numbingly dull
Costume dramas - see also mind-numbingly dull
Musicals - I'd rather set myself on fire.

I prefer a old man's country pub to a wine or cocktail bar

Going shopping and seeing a show in London is my idea of hell

I hate watching films

howdyhey · 16/05/2023 19:08

I also have absolutely no desire whatsoever to visit Dubai.

Blueisthecolour1 · 16/05/2023 19:18

I prefer a Macdonald’s to a posh restaurant!!! There. I’ve said it. I have nothing further to add

Blueisthecolour1 · 16/05/2023 19:42

I do have something further to add. I like watching YouTube shorts - it’s my guilty pleasure. And eating Macy’s at the same time

black and white films - and I include its a wonderful life - also shit.

'It's A Wonderful Life' is on my list of the biggest pile of over-hyped shite ever viewed,

'The Artist' was quite good as an ironic swerve into B&W though but I'm not sure it really counts...

When I go on holiday somewhere warm, I don't want culture or history. I want to lie in the sun, swim in the sea, eat what I want and read trashy novels.

This.

Theme parks with white knuckle rides beat museums and art galleries any day.

Beezknees · 17/05/2023 09:10

All inclusive holidays are great. When I'm on holiday I like to start drinking alcohol at lunchtime.

CathyorClaire · 17/05/2023 10:03

If you've seen one castle or church you've seen 'em all.
