Unpopular opinions part 3

[BringBackGoingForGold]

Just happened upon the last one and liked it, so ...

I don't think The King's Speech is that great a film; I think the directing was often unimaginative, cliched and banal and the script obvious. And Helena Bonham Carter wasn't that good.

My bookshelves are largely low-brow - but you ladies have made me feel much less inferior. My sister gave me 'Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow' for christmas once - I tried to read it, and eventually gave it to the charity shop.

I love classics and I thoroughly enjoy reading them again and again (currently on The Heart of Darkness by Conrad).

THey're great and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

DH loves "high brow" literature and I like to put my Nora Roberts next to his editions of Paradise Lost and Chaucer and the like, just to see the pained expression on his face. :)

I do love Wuthering Heights though, and Austen. Shakespeare's all right. I love the Taming of the Shrew.

I hate mini-coopers and a man driving one is probably the very most unsexy thing on the planet.

I once had a dream that Angelina Jolie gave my brother a mini-cooper as a gift. In my dream, I walked up to her and punched her in the face because she gave my brother such a stupid car.

God, James Joyce, has anyone ever enjoyed him, really?

Having said that, Crime and Punishment is the greatest book ever written.

lotu

I liked the Dubliners. Hated Ulysses.

Austen belongs in Room 101.

Having said that, Crime and Punishment is the greatest book ever written.

Nope, Middlemarch is. That and Anna Karenina are my desert island books.

(English Lit graduate here too)

Men should never ever drive a (new) VW beetle. A girlier car I have never seen!

Middlemarch is fab.

Oxford and Cambridge students actually work a lot harder for their degrees than students at other universities.

Apologies allsquare, while I do still run your fan club, it has taken a slight knock over Playhouse Disney...I can't stand anything on there, however there is one exception and I quite like Imagination Movers.

We tend to have wall-to-wall NickJr on sometimes as I have a child who believes that she may well be Peppa Pig.

"Men/boys look stupid in pink shirts."

I think most men look great in a pink shirt. Especially if worn with a nice suit.

I don't care how great Brad and Angelina's parenting and do-gooding is, he'll always be a big fat cheater in my eyes.

(Who apparently smells of pee) :o

Team Aniston Forever!

I always get a bit uncomfortable if I see anyone eating a kiwi fruit out of the skin with a spoon

...but, I don't know how else they should be eaten?

My unpopular opinion - MGF's are awesome cars and Maxda MX5's are mass produced Japanese Tonka Toys.

Disclaimer - I can't punctuate for shit so I may have misused the above apostrophes. I don't care either way!

Yep, not needed, but I'm such a punctuation/spelling pedant that I would ignore me! I do agree with you on the cars though!

And the Kiwis. I love them, but for the past 4 years I have an allergy to them, so would excuse anyone eating them with a spoon if only I could just enjoy one myself!

peeled and sliced

G string /thong pants are the most vile invention ever.

*I have HAD an....

I eat the skin on kiwis. Yum.

Boosmummie - you are the first person to agree with me on that! I loved my MGF. Until the day DF drove it into a tree. Sigh. Oh well, my 2.5l V6 Galant is pretty awesome too!

Jilly Cooper writes marvellous books and if you disregard her work because of what you've heard, then you are missing out on a treat and you need to remove the stick from your arse.

Jilly Cooper is not a real author. Her books are utter tripe.
