Things that everyone raves about that are actually shite PART 2

[LovelyTheresa]

Romcoms. Love Actually is the worst one, but it isn't the only one. I also loathe Notting Hill, Four Weddings, and most of the other ones as well. Pretty Woman is dire. I far prefer Old Hollywood screwball comedies. Some Like it Hot has to be the most perfect comedy ever, it is so funny and it is romantic without being schmaltzy.

Gutted about North Face. My black puffa is the most comfortable and practical jacket I’ve ever had but I’m a teacher and 90% of the teens at my school wear them so I’ve had to retire it. Hopefully temporarily until they move on to something else.

MM is one of the worst films I’ve seen. Godawful.
Death by a thousand screeches 😆

Peter Kay
The Office
Ricky Gervais
Hot weather!!

I love ALL those things!

It's definitely overrated. It's tasty, but people had been singing it's praises and built it up so much that it was a total let down. I was expecting to be blown away, but honestly I've had nicer meals from the better Indian and Nepalese restaurants in my area.

I love my en-suite.
I think people hate them because they have a disrespectful partner problem.

Influencers
Taylor Swift
Kate Middleton
Nandos
Clothes/ Bags covered in the brand ( Balenciaga/Gucci/Palm Angels et al)

High Fashion
Meat

Tapas as a group meal!

Any kind of 'pampering' and the concept of 'self care' really meaning to make yourself more presentable to men.

Tattoos - gorgeous young people covering themselves in images that will age badly in every way. Don't get it but it's clearly a fashion/generational thing. Some look nice of course - but the choices so often seem made in weird short term haste.

Martin Scorsese films since Gangs of New York - they're way too long mate, get your editor to tell you the truth.

Women on social media holding glasses of wine up to the camera smugly "look how many friends I have in nice settings drinking wine with me"

Laughing so much at this thread "doughnuts", "sex", "nandos".

Musicals, massages, markets, marmalade, marzipan.

I clearly have huge beef with the letter M.

Meryl Streep in MM and in Into The Woods - unwatchable

Abba. Eurotrash shite. Dancing Queen, a song about dancing that you can't dance to because it's so bloody slow.
Cupcakes. A ton of over sweet icing and a scrap of dry sponge.

Going abroad on a self-catering holiday - so much bloody faff and you still have to go to the bloody supermarket and load and unload a bloody dishwasher and think about what to feed people. The 'Oh, we don't cook, we just eat the most marvellous bread and cheese, tra-la-la' brigade get right on my nerves.

I do like lots of things listed on this thread, however, so might be completely out of step with the zeitgeist.

Winehouse has passed away hasnt she?

The Barbie movie. I understand the message of the film but the film itself was a bit weird and I didn't think it was that good.

I do love Center Parcs though

Yes a long time ago but we're all still expected to mither on about how amazing and talented she was. Tons of documentaries about her. Overrated.

Camping
Sushi
TwitteX

Yes definitely ABBA, but I don't mention it anymore irl because I am looked at as if I have two heads.

Perhaps it's an embarrassing lapse of taste on my part, but I make excuses for any Abba based fun with my friends.

Grey interior walls

To me the only memorable tune in Les Mis was ‘Master of the House’ - Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen, which IMO was brilliant. I was decidedly underwhelmed with the rest of it.

One Day series. I didn’t get past ten minutes but that was enough

Cornwall particularly in the school summer holidays.

Red wine. Just disgusting.
