Confess your lack of taste

[Aeolius]

I regularly read fansites for "Surface", for a year or more after the series was cancelled.

I didn't care for the newer incarnation of BSG... bored me to tears.

I'm looking forward to the second season of "True Blood" in May.

If they remade "Mansquito" as a musical I would probably watch it, so long as it was of the same caliber as Dr Horrible's Song-Along Blog.

I forgot a big one:

I think Matt and Mohinder are the most interesting characters on Heroes (Sylar too) and they are the only reason I continue to watch a show that jumped the shark in its first season.

Perhaps a sequel, then? Half fruit, half human... Humango!
Which begs for a sequel of it's own... Humango vs. Clamato

Generally I'm a "Less drama, More Trauma" person. Though the only Troma brand movie i can stand was Slither, which I like immensely.

I could enjoy AVP, though I feel AVPR was far more watchable.

I sometimes enjoyed Lexx episodes more than Farscape. Stopped liking Lexx so much once Prince showed up though.

Blade Runner. I don't really "get" why it's so popular.

I'd guess the Cyber-genre fans like the drama more than I do. Though they did not have a lot of options at the time. I could appreciate some of the movies visuals and elements, but the movie felt really slow to me.

Unpopular movies I liked:
Van Helsing
Wild Wild West

Entertaining, yes. Loved the first and third werewolves in Van Helsing.

Vampires (the James Woods version)

Great movie. I own the book and plan to read it one day too.

I couldn't get past the first season of the new Battlestar Galactica.

I didn't care for the newer incarnation of BSG... bored me to tears.

The episodes of the first season that i saw were way too drama heavy. Some of the concepts that were being used were ok, but it felt like they were pandering to a soap opera audience.

I liked the recent "Godzilla" movie with Matthew Broderick.

I found Gino’s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_(1998_film) movie to be entertaining. I suspect the Gojira fans are just bitter that the US one got a decent budget.

Popular movies that bored me/I don't like:
The last two Pirates of the Caribbean movies

I felt the second one was fine, but the third was mediocre with a few decent scenes.

Unpopular movies I liked:
From Dusk til Dawn

Who says this is an unpopular movie? This is one of the better vampire movies out there.

Misc
I don't use "hate" often, but I hate country music and rap/hip-hop.

Parody country music has its charms.

I love pulp fiction novels and would gladly take the entire Barsoom series and anything by Howard or Lovecraft over any "important" literature.

Why do you think this represents a lack of taste?

Cult following, not mass success. Since the budget was low, it didn't need a huge success at the box office to make money.

Why do you think this represents a lack of taste?

That would be more because I'm a literature wonk and I used to get a lot of flak at grad school and still do get a lot from literature and writing teachers/professors that I know.

I just thought of another one - Battlestar Galatica holds absolutely zero appeal for me.

Never got into Heroes or Lost, though with the former, that's seeming more and more like a good choice in retrospect.

I enjoyed Van Helsing, Matrix: Reloaded (but not Revolutions), the Transporter movies, and Star Trek: Nemesis.

I thoroughly despised the Animatrix.

I enjoyed Star Trek: Nemesis.

I liked it also. I liked all the Trek movies. The 4th one was my least favorite but it tends to be one of the top Trek movies for many others.

 

[jaerdaph]

I will watch anything Star Trek if I see it on and have the time to kill. Even Voyager.

I love the original Blade Runner movie, but the 1992 director's cut is painful.

 

[Enforcer]

I hate the Lord of the Rings (the books anyways). So boring.

I didn't like Blade Runner in any of the 4,000 "cuts" that they've made of it.

I actually liked Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books 7-9 (but he lost me forever with Book 9, Repeated, Crossroads of Twilight).

I don't care for Star Trek the original series, but I really liked TNG and DS9.

I thought the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie was decent.
