Nah, Bacardi has its place. I'm currently reading Smuggler's Cove and have a new appreciation for Bacardi in mixed drinks.

(But also a much lower appreciation on Captain Morgan, although the book does explain how to make a superior spiced rum at home, which looks fun and easy and is definitely something my wife and I will be doing soon.)

I like coors light.

I mean, health experts say drinking water is good for you, but still...

Hey Man U can in fact drink too much water if you try! Water…uh…coors
Intoxication. It’s in medical journals

I dunno, saying positive things about Meet the Feebles tends to be unpopular.

I love that movie. Had it on VHS, played it to death.

In the middle of a Jurassic Park rewatch... No, just no, Lex deserved to die. I know scared kids can act irrationally, but Lex goes against any survival instinct. Even the girl in Fallen Kingdom comes as more reasonable. I mean, burrowing under the bedsheats won't save you from an angry Dino, but running and hiding are the right instinctual responses when faced with a big predator, not going out of the way to broadcast your presence to it.

Really both Genaro and Malcom would have been unharmed if she didn't have the selfpreservation instinct of a hamster.

You know what, I'm going to back you up on this one.

From what I recall, she's the one who gets the telephones working again at the end, so they'd probably all die without her.

Wasn't aware of this thread. Mine are several

-The romance in ESB has aged poorly
-Lucas is a brilliant director
-Rings of Power captures exactly what I want in a modern fantasy epic
-Tarantino is a good at scenes but bad overall
-There is nothing I want to watch less than another Verhoeven movie
-Beyond Thunderdome is the keystone of the franchise; you have to get this to get what George Miller is doing
-Taxi Driver, Fight Club, Goodfellas...I can't stand anything in this vein
-National Treasure is a better adventure film than anything Indy did

We’re still doing opinions we think are probably unpopular, right?

- The Avengers (2012) is a bad film, one of the least watchable in the MCU.

- Blue Beetle is a good film, good enough to relaunch the DCCU by itself.

- The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales are an incoherent mess, the product of unholy necromancy on Tolkien’s waste paper basket to keep the money coming. They are not as bad as their main by product, the Fionavar Tapestry.

- Firefly was just bad, honestly.

- Harry Potter is just awful, especially after the editor quit (some time around book 5). Almost any modern YA fantasy series is streets ahead - pick your favourite. Rick Riordan’s work alone beats it into a cocked hat.

- Star Fleet was one of the best things on UK TV back in the 1980s. It should have launched a whole anime puppet movement but sadly never did.

- Pretty much all modern Dr Who is pants apart from a few episodes.

- Batman is an incredibly boring and unsympathetic character who frankly should just be allowed to die. I would much rather read comics about almost everyone else he knows, including Ace and the Signal. The Joker should join him in the dustbin of time.

- Camp Cretaceous is hands down the best of the Jurassic Park franchise, since its writers actually give a crap about anything (including storytelling). OK, that one probably isn’t unpopular.
