That's an interesting problem. Reluctance to re-watch something for the fear of ruining the first-time magic.

I have that with, of all things, the new Conan. I saw in theaters and I loved every second of it. But I have no idea what it'll be like the second time, and I'm terrified of it actually being a horrible movie.

...oh, and I forgot to mention it.... I LOVE, like unabashedly unironically, just LOVE, Speed Racer. (This opinion has nearly gotten me severely injured in some company).

Re: #45 - Unpopular Opinions

I want to clarify my LOTR comment because I was having just a hell of a time articulating my point during the episode.  I still love LOTR and find it's achievements breathtaking.  But I absolutely did mythologize them a bit after my first viewing, and can now actually SEE flaws where before I found them to be flawless in every way.  It does not diminish it's importance, I just grew up a bit is all.

Oh never mind, you are okay in my book.


I guess this is a pretty unpopular opinion these days

I hate dubstep so very much.

Liking Robocop 3 is the most egregious thing on that list, personally

I used to think dubstep was only popular ironically.

Re: #45 - Unpopular Opinions

This seems like it could be therapeutic. And potentially condemning...

Alien 3 is a better film than Aliens.

All three Matrix movies are great.

Zack Snyder is one of the most interesting directors working today.

Last Crusade is the weakest of the original three Indiana Jones films, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is pretty much on par with it.

The 1996 Doctor Who TV movie with Paul McGann and Eric Roberts is perfectly fine.

Breaking Bad is a good show, but not one of the best shows of all time, and not even the best current TV has to offer.

Quantum of Solace is a good movie, and better than Casino Royale.

My favorite band is Paramore. Which isn't necessarily an unpopular opinion, providing that I'm talking to a group of teenage emo girls.

While I still love the movie, The Dark Knight is actually my least favorite of the Nolan bat-trilogy.

I feel so exposed right now, and it isn't even sexy.

Obviously the best thing on TV right now is Community.

big_smile It's one of my favouite gifs and I thought it was suitable for how I felt at the time....

Wish I thought of that Last Crusade one that Xtroid posted, though. Actually, I'd probably still post the Ryan Reynolds one. big_smile

Re: #45 - Unpopular Opinions

I think the Last Crusade one is what comes about 30 seconds after the Ryan Reynolds one.

Re: #45 - Unpopular Opinions

I love that C-Spin is so honest, and thoroughly defend the right to state contrary opinions.

I found Firefly to be a little tedious. So there you go.
