Things You Like, but Everyone Else Hates

Postby CapCom » 12.25.10 1:20pm

Opposite the other post :)

I'll start off: Blues Brothers 2000. This might be because I'm a HUGE BB fan, but I came into the movie thinking it was going to be completely horrible and actually found there were a lot of good spots in it. Of course, it's got some crappy points too (there is absolutely NOT timing for the cop crash sequence; Ellwood commits a federal crime by kidnapping the child and taking him across state lines) but these are balanced out IMO by scenes like the Baptists and Ghost Riders. Anyway, I still don't think it's a good movie, but I kinda like it :AH:

VGM (Particularly Remixed VGM [Read:OverClockedRemix.org]) and Anime (In general). Certainly not everyone hates them but most of the people I know are turned off to'em. "VGM isn't real music!" and "Anime is crazy Jap kiddy cartoons!" are, paraphrased, the usual arguments I get.


I pride myself on not giving a damn what other people think, principally in regards to what it is I find enjoyable, but I can't help but find intolerance and ignorance unbearable. You don't have to agree with what it is I like, but at least have a decent REASON for DISliking it.

Metroid:Other M (I know there are other people who like it, but the majority HATED it.)......
Can't think of anything else right now.

Every Sonic game (SU, 2006, Shadow, etc.), Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Mario Super Show, there's a ton.

Prequel Star Wars Trilogy and Avatar :> (Fern Gully in space yeah? Guess what: I love Fern Gully, I love space. Double win.)


Also Twilight, in that I liked it when I first read it (yeah yeah I was 14. Also I know a lot of people who now vehemently hate it, who used to think Edward Cullen was the best/hottest thing ever. And now deny it xD)

I like Voldemort, the proud killer of Robert Pattinson.

I like Metroid. XD

My Padawan braid is awesome even if everyone hates it.

I like Robert Pattinson >D
He's so awesome in interviews. Talking about how Twilight is just Stephanie Meyer's sick fantasy and that she totally creeps him out when she's on set.
Also he's funny. Also he's totally awesome as Cedric.

Just google "Robert Pattinson hates Twilight/Steffanie Meyer" and you're bound to find something awesome.

I heard about that. That's hilarious. xD

Same here. They weren't the best things ever, but I enjoyed them a lot more than some did.

Also, Avatar, not the cartoon, the movie. I know lots of people love it, but lots of people hate it too. I'm one of the people who loves it. xD

I am inclined to disagree with you, anyway, I've noticed Apple don't get much support around here. I love Mac's computers and goods.

Nope, Twilight is going to go on my list in the other thread :P Never seen it, nor do I want to. Gives vampires a bad name! Same goes for Titanic (I was LONG studying the Titanic before the James Cameron film came out, and after that, I stopped caring because suddenly everybody thought it was awesome).

Metroid:Other M (I know there are other people who like it, but the majority HATED it.)......


I dunno if the majority hate it, but it can sometimes feel that way! Again, some figures, this time from Amazon:

173 Reviews
5 star: (54)
4 star: (50)
3 star: (23)
2 star: (18)
1 star: (28)

Pretty big split. I'd consider 3 and below to be bad scores in this case, so you're basically looking at a 60/40 split. I wouldn't call that 'the majority hates this game'. In any event, about twice as many people gave it a 5 as gave it a 1 :AH:

VGM (Particularly Remixed VGM [Read:OverClockedRemix.org])


OCR is kind of lame, yeah. They have American music style, and it's often influenced by hip-hop and R&B, which I hate. I'd recommend you check out the winners on [quote=http://dod.redheadedblacksheep.net/]Dwelling of Duels[/quote]. I've also got a list of primarily awesome vgm on my blog. You can also check out orchestral arranges of stuff (Symphonic Shades and Distant Worlds are two excellent ones). But if you don't like good VGM or rock or orchestral arranges then...I guess I can't help you :AH:
