I thought Aretha Franklin screeched too much

I think Jason Mamoa is ugly.

Dicks are overrated. But I like high quality ASS.

He has Joker eyebrows now. He was more attractive on Baywatch.

Sunset Boulevard > All About Eve. It's not even close.

There are way worse actresses than Madonna.

Jodie Foster was mediocre in The Accused. The entire movie was mediocre actually.

Barbra Streisand is a Nazi sympathizer.

[quote] Barbra Streisand is a Nazi sympathizer.

That's original. I also think she is a very overrated singer. The only people who still care about her are older Gays and New Yorkers.

Muscled men are hot but seeing them over and over on DL gets boring

Adele is overrated.

The male chest plus abdomen is more exciting than a penis.

Madonna's movie Who's That Girl is underrated

Katherine Heigl is one of the best actress from her generation.

Bryan Singer just likes them young

Kamala Harris is America's most overrated politician.

R5 and that roided-up beast mode look is just gross.

His character on Baywatch, a light brown skinned twink was perfection

A lot of police officers grew up in provincial Irish and Italian Catholic households and that’s why they’re racist. It’s not the job per se it’s how they were raised.

Watching white people show faux-anger of racism is hilarious.

Every white person knows what privilege they live with and revel in it.

[quote] A lot of police officers grew up in provincial Irish and Italian Catholic households and that’s why they’re racist. It’s not the job per se it’s how they were raised.

The Italians and Irish were SO terrified of being compared to black people. So they realized how they could become accepted and (eventually) became "white".

Funny how the Irish weren't considered white as they're about as white as white can be, appearance-wise.

Gabby Sidibe was robbed of an Oscar for Precious. The role was iconic. I hardly remember Sandy Bullock's treacly turn in that football film -- and I usually like Bullock.

I don’t find people of the lower classes good for much except serving us

Laura Branigan was the best female vocalist of the 80's. Her song selection wasn't that great but her voice was simply the best.

Self Control is one of the best dance songs ever made. Very atmospheric.

I think the Liberty Insurance "Limu Emu & Doug" commercials are cute.

I don't think Muslim immigration is good for Western countries. They have their own region of the world and should stay there. They are incompatible with Western culture and values.

I think Meghan Markle will make a great POTUS!

Frau posts on DL are the only posts worth reading.

Sex is overrated.

Popeyes' chicken is better than you can make.

White women are often more dangerous, ruthless, and racist than any white man.

Cheryl's pussy smells like roses

I love this every two months repeated thread. Honestly. It gives folk a chance to state an opinion without 400 other posts of argument (mostly) AND if you're still open minded, it sometimes makes you think. Because what is so great about popular opinion? And it's fun to fuck with ancient DL posters.

Julia Roberts is the last great movie star. Not just in box office receipts. She fulfills every criteria. Julia is the definition of MOVIE STAR. I love her.

I never liked Julia Roberts when she was a big A-lister, but I think she's aged into a very good character actress. She's much more interesting as an actress now than when she was younger and headlining movies. She was fantastic in The Normal Heart.

8 o'clock coffee ($4.99/lb) is the best coffee and cheapest consistently. Founded in 1859, San Fransisco A &P . My Grandmother drank it.

I don't much care for African-Americans, Latinos, Asians or American Indians.

But ya know what else?

I'm not all that crazy about WHITE people, either.

Agree r43. Chock Full Of Nuts is also very good. Starbucks coffee is overrated pisswater.

R42, she made Osage County. Much better than Meryl

Gstaad is a shitty place to ski. It cultivated the Jet Set because they are terrible skiers or don't bother to ski at all.

England sucks. I don't get why so many Americans are so enamored with it. Yes, there's tons of history and culture but there's many other countries in the world i'd visit for that stuff over England.

Sex in cruisy outdoor spots is highly undervalued. We're loosing an essential cultural heritage and young people don't know what they've missed.

Anal sex is gross and highly unhygienic.

Tattoos are horrible.

I don’t think c19 is even real. But, I wear a mask and play along, in case I’m wrong.

[quote]Anal sex is gross and highly unhygienic.

You think screwing a pussy is sanitary?

DLers are transphobic.

(R48) Ummm, because they speak English in England? Americans are stupid, and most only know English (poorly).

Americans mostly only know English because we're not packed in amongst other countries that speak multiple other languages, like Europeans. South Americans mostly only know Spanish for the same reason.

R42 totally agree with that. She’s also grown into a good sport and has a healthy sense of humor about herself. But I know everyone here just thinks she’s a cunt so I guess this won’t go anywhere....

And if the Jews were able to build their own lives in spite of all the horrible persecution and setbacks and ghettos I don’t understand why everyone else can’t do it and just keeps coming up with excuses. The world doesn’t owe them a living (the police, yes, Trump, yes) and this collective guilt is absurd. And most liberals (I don’t mean SJWs) agree Even if they’re afraid to say it right now.

The Beatles wrote many god-awful lyrics, but their music is so good that no one seems to mind. Even Mike Nesmith of the Monkees wrote better lyrics than Paul, who became an even more dreadful lyricist when he parted with John and formed Wings.

Please change my mind by posting your favorite Beatles lyrics (except for “A Day In The Life,” which they must have written under the influence of some especially good weed).

R59 Wings is terribly underrated. Just because they weren’t “cool” and asshole John Lennon dissed them every chance he got they made some great tunes that have stood the test of time. .

And I loved Michael Nesmith too and he was a terrific songwriter.

R60 Paul writes great melodies, but seems to consider words nothing more than sounds to sing. He once admitted that “Yesterday” was originally a song called “Scrambled Eggs,” which probably had better lyrics than the stupid ones of “Yesterday.”

^^Oops - John Lennon wrote “Yesterday” and other terrible lyrics. I think “Imagine” sucks, too.

"Mister Rogers Neighborhood" was an AWFUL children's show. The WORST. As a little kid, I would rather stare at a blank wall than have to sit through it. I don't think I ever made it through an entire episode. None of my friends liked it either. I always found him slightly creepy. I think all the recent, nostalgia-tinged, over-the-top worship of Mr. Rogers is based on the idea of Mr. Rogers, and the values he espoused. But the actual show that was his life's work was a colossal bore.

Jennifer Holliday is horrifying and her performance was a lot of bug eyed screaming

R61 think of most of the great songs that you love that have wonderful happy memories for you...

Despite what some pretentious people may bring, most people don’t gaf about lyrics and that’s not what really makes a great song.

"John Lennon wrote “Yesterday” and other terrible lyrics."

No, Yesterday was 100% Paul McCartney. Melody and lyrics both.

Paul's finest lyrical moment with the Beatles was probably either "Eleanor Rigby" or "For No One". But yeah, the poster who said that he saw lyrics basically as "sounds to sing" isn't far off.

Flashdance is a seriously good movie.

Band on the Run is better than any solo song Lennon did.

R66 My bad - I thought Paul wrote the words and music for “Scrambled Eggs” while John came up with the lyrics that became “Yesterday.” Turns out that John came up only with just the TITLE, yet got 50% writing credit. Yes - it took TWO Beatles.

Yeah, I always found Mr. Rogers boring myself. Also, Reading Rainbow.

According to Paul (who loves to tell the same stories over and over again in interviews for years and years), the melody for "Yesterday" came to him in a dream. The "Scrambled Eggs" thing was just a working title for the melody. I think the original couplet was something like "Scrambled Eggs, ooh pretty baby how I love your legs", but it didn't get farther than that, because he realized that the "Scrambled Eggs" thing wasn't going to work, he eventually settled on "Yesterday".

The way the Lennon/McCartney songwriting partnership worked was that they both always got equal credit, even though sometimes one or the other wrote the entire song. So "Yesterday" is credited as Lennon/McCartney, even though Lennon had almost nothing to do with writing it, and same with Lennon's solo compositions, like "Across the Universe", "I Am the Walrus", and "Revolution".

Pete Davidson is hot.

George Floyd certainly DID NOT deserve to die, but also didn't do himself any favors, what with the armed robbery prison term, the pointing of a gun at a pregnant woman's belly, the meth abuse, etc.

I hate that the world is reopening again. I liked staying home, not having to deal with people and all the sense of entitlement and territorial behaviour pre-pandemic. Going for walks in nature was so pleasant because there were barely any people about, the air was fresher and no garbage. Animals could thrive. Now the garbage cans are overflowing with stinky garbage, people are not social distancing, the animals now have to hide again.

Humans are horrible.

Rap music is crap and makes its listeners dumber.

Adult female victims who maintained a relationship with their abusers during the abuse are coached or encouraged to act helpless and childlike by their lawyers, peers, media, etc. to evoke sympathy, but this backfires by reinforcing negative stereotypes of women as mentally/emotionally weak, while abused MEN who did not escape their harassers are laughed at, expected to “act like an adult” and be stoic, which only reinforces the stereotype of men having more courage and better emotional stability.

My eldergay friends who "go asian" are happier than the rest of us who resist.

The voting age should be increased to 21. Young people are generally stupid, and haven't paid their dues in society to earn a vote.

I don't give a fuck about 5G or iPhone-whatever. Or whatever Secretary's Day or Grandparent's Day etc.The billions they spend upping the ante every year, hyping it, slopping it in the trough, soooooooooouuuuuiiiiieee, and the herd consumes. And pretends to get excited. And momentarily forgets we're all just animals shitting and eating, on this planet for a millisecond. And the beat goes on.

The most strident social justice warriors seem to think that the individual has no agency in anything they do--unless they are the oppressor (or the "oppressor"). It's all about systems thinking with them. And the whole "stay in your lane" motto that they take up is BS. People should be staying their lanes LESS. That's how people learn.

Democrats and Republicans have both ruined this country equally.

Agree r63. And the puppets were terrifying.

Beyoncé isn't a nice person and has poor social skills. Beyond performing she has little to offer.

Jennifer Lopez is the New Barbra Streisand!

Meghan Markle should do pantyhose commercials. Those legs must be worth $1 billion to insure!

Bernie Sanders would have won in 2016 if he had been the Democratic nominee. (But I'm glad he won't be the nominee this year.)

No he wouldn't have--not in 2016 or 2020.

[quote] Democrats and Republicans have both ruined this country equally.

No. Republicans have ruined the country far more than the Democrats. Democrats aren't the ones who constituted the "moral majority".

[quote] Democrats and Republicans have both ruined this country equally.

Unpopular opinion: the "both sides do it" argument is a cop out and bares no relation to the facts.

Kurt Cobain was an overrated figure who wrote OK songs. Still don't understand why they are so loved outside a handful of songs.

Donald Trump has an enormous oenis. Yuge. Throbbing, thick--cut with precision into a shapely pleasure tool tgatvskaos his ankles when he walks.

Shit. I'm going blind. Apologies for typo from hell. (New Jersey)

When a date claims they are “gold star” gay or lesbian there is no way to prove that is true. Repeated declarations of being grossed out by the opposite sex and comparing their genitals to the face-hugger in Alien does not count as proof. You just have to take their word for it, even though you might have a closeted bisexual trying to sleep with you.

The same goes conversely for “bisexuals,” “asexuals,” “pansexuals,” and (of course) “straight” folks.

The Three Degrees are the best girl group of all time. Better than The Supremes. So many songs yet they are only known for 2 of them. And they can actually harmonize.

r94: Besides "When Will I See You Again", what are the others?

R95, there's a compilation on Spotify called "The Best of the Three Degrees"--almost every song on there is very good. The other wellknown song from them is T.S.O.P. (The Sound of Philadelphia). They also have a song called Everybody Gets to Go to the Moon, which was in The French Conneciton. There are 14 songs on the greatest hits album and I rarely skip a song on there.

Elizabeth Warren is too old to be Biden's VP and obviously doesn't like Joe. Her chance at that office should have/hopefully has been lost with Bernout, whose asshole she was publicly chowing down on. Having someone you fundamentally disagree with, who panders to a group who despises you, and who you personally do not get on well with be your VP would be stupid.

There should be an upper age limit for the presidency/vice presidency. Warren AND Biden are too old, so is Trump, Sanders and anyone else over 65, which is a good cutoff age because that’s when the thymus gland starts its swan dive, and by age 75 we are fucked. Not to mention the odds of having heart attacks, strokes, or getting dementia. And ageism is warranted in other high-responsibility careers in addition to public service, for the very same reasons. Trump’s speech loss and ramp totter are great examples of a thymus gland in its final year.

R98 not talking about the Presidency right now but your post did remind me that the two groups (since POC and plus sized people are obviously sacred) that it’s still a-ok to hate are the elderly and the poor.

I think people hate Madonna just because she’s Madonna

Fiona Apple's music is absolutely fucking awful.

R100, true. Her personality is what puts off people but I think a lot of people like her music DESPITE her.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. It was literally a 3 hour long episode of Family Guy. The last 20 minutes gave me so much second hand embarrassment.

R99 The elderly and children are not protected against discrimination for two good reasons:

1: EVERY human has been a child, and most will be elderly. That’s why people don’t get cancelled for saying they hate children or that old folks are feeble. We can’t discriminate against ourselves.

2: Children and the elderly have physical/mental limitations that can make them a danger to themselves or others in certain situations (like driving or planning a complex military operation). Unless you deny biology, of course.

I think Alek Wek is ugly and shouldn't be a model.

I miss Matt Lauer on NBC's Today.

Most "great" movies made before the 50s suck. The 50s is where movies really start to feel mroe modern. Widescreen helped!

The Beatles are still the best band ever, even better than Ed Sherhan, Adele, Beyoncé, Cardi B, Kanye West and Taylor Swift.

[quote] even better than Ed Sherhan, Adele, Beyoncé, Cardi B, Kanye West and Taylor Swift.

Is that really an accomplishment though? I don't think so.

R109 Those are the celebrated musicians of today. I think they’re all terrible.

Excuse me while I go back to Abbey Road.

R110, I hear you. The 80s was incredible--Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, U2, Guns N' Roses, Queen, Whitney, Bruce Springsteen, etc. were the most popular artists of the decade. I don't like all of the people I listed but every one of them is better than the crap that passes for "great" these days.

Despite all his lies and corruption, Trump has a voting bloc of followers who are wildly obsessively enthusiastic about him.

Biden does not elicit that devotion. Democrats will vote for him only because they have to.

Grace and Frankie should have been just Lily and Jane with their older set of friends. The younger actors are annoying as fuck and their storylines boring. As are Sam and Martin, unfortunately. They should have been ditched after the pilot.

The 60s cultural revolution was both bad AND good. Good for reasons that don't need mentioning. But I think the cultural revolution also tied in with the decline of social capital that has continued since then. The founding fathers and philosophers like Adam Smith recognized you cannot have capitalism/liberty without a moral society. This topic is featured in their writings. The 80s is what changed a lot of American morality. When you strip capitalism of its morality and are left with just greed, that leaves a lost, anarachic society. That's exactly what we are. But I hope that people under 40 can move forward in fighting more a more just, less selfish society. Before the government changes, we must change as people. "We get the government we deserve".

Duh, R108. The Partridge Family is better than Ed Sherhan, Adele, Beyoncé, Cardi B, Kanye West and Taylor Swift.

How can Warren be too old to be VP but Biden, who is a decade older (and looks and acts every bit of it), not be too old for the presidency R97? Makes no sense.

A Very Brady Sequel (home of the iconic "Sure, Jan) is one of the funniest films ever.

Because his VP needs to be of a younger generation and bring out the best in him, R116. Not be almost as old and prepared to fight him on every g-d thing he wants to achieve. We'll have the Republicans, for that. We'll have the flaming dumpster fire that Dump leaves behind, for that. He doesn't need her dragging him down.

Aldo, it would be great for his VP to be young enough to run in four years, win TWO TERMS and help sort America out. Liz Warren is too fuckin old for that.

*Also, not aldo

R81: Please, enlighten me--find me even ONE example of a situation like the FIVE I've listed below that went the other way, with Democrats lying, cheating, and stealing to defeat the Republicans at any cost. And stick to the facts, please--spare me the false equivalencies your party is so fond of conjuring up.

1. Bush v. Gore, the "hanging chads," and the Rehnquist-led Supreme Court (who was it who won the popular vote on that one again?)

2. The "Swiftboating" of John Kerry in the 2012 election by courageous Air National Guard veteran George W. Bush

3. Al Franken's own party forcing him to give up his Senate seat following conservative talk-radio host Leeann Tweeden's allegations of an unwanted kiss (gosh, he didn't even get to grab her by the pussy!)

4. Mitch McConnell's treasonous declaration that his number-one objective was to make Barack Obama a one-term president, which he followed by denying President Obama a Supreme Court justice placement during his last year in office

5. Hillary Clinton losing her comfortable lead and the election despite winning the popular vote (thanks again, red-state-favoring electoral college), due to Comey's fruitless investigation (like all of the others into her conduct) and maybe just a touch of Trump-sanctioned Russian interference in the most fundamental process in our democracy

Sorry, meant 2004 in #2 above, of course

R104 that’s absurd. People get discriminated in the workplace for age all the time — esepecially women. To say nothing about how they get treated by men once they reach a certain age.

And yes the fact that it happened to all of us God willing is exactly why you would think it shouldn’t be ok.

A lot of the problems that progressives have with the democratic party could be solved if they stopped thinking they were smarter than everyone else and voted in each and every election.

Older people deserve to be discriminated against by younger people because they did it to older people when they were young themselves. It’s called “payback.”

I agree about age limits for the Presidency, and also for Congress. It does none of us any good to have leaders who are doddering old fucks and half senile.

I think the President and members of Congress should all come from Generation X. The Silent Generation has one foot in the grave, Boomers have lost their damn minds and Millennials are fucking insufferable. Gen X are the only ones who have a shred of sanity and reason left.

R99 / R122 Wow - you are all over the place. I give a valid argument for age discrimination in certain occupations, and you complain that the only groups that it’s “OK to hate” nowadays are the elderly and the poor, while POC and fat people - who I said nothing about - are held “sacred”. (Really?)

Then I explain why age groups are not protected classes when it comes to stating negative opinions about them, and you derail the argument with a “whattabout” that WOMEN - who I said nothing about - are the ones most discriminated against in the workplace. Yet you did not include women as a group that it’s still “OK to hate” in your first reply. Congrats, R122 - you have thoroughly confused me, lol.

I think real estate porn and acquisition is more psychopathic than having some 17 year old girls or boys around. The craving originates from the same place too.

Even if Biden wins the election (please god) it will take a generation to undo all the damage Trump has done.

Biden is not running against Trump. He is running against Pence, who is 16 years younger, and is a ruthless and ambitious fanatic who will deliver a surprise blow to Biden’s campaign when he drops the meek-lamb-of-God mask for the REAL Pence, once Trump is sent to pasture.

The 70s is probably the most overrated decade for film. Many of those so-called classics are difficult to sit through today, they are way to self-indulgent. I would rank the 50s and 60s higher than the 70s.

Hollywood, movie stars, great films, great music.

They're all dead.

R127 its not contradictory at all. Elderly are treated like shit, and ageism exists and is a huge problem as well, ESPECIALLY for women, but for everyone (good luck a 50 year old man applying for a job against men almost half his age).

Which like I said is ironic because it happens to everyone.

R133 There is definitely more antagonism towards aging Boomers than any previous generation, and I think part of that stems from them being the first to effectively rebel against and tear down THEIR elders for screwing up the world by mocking maturity, authority, and all other traits that come with growing old. Also, the first generation with a youth fetish to the point of extending their adolescence into adulthood. So I think the hate directed at them - as they become what they themselves used to hate - is more karmatic than ironic.

R134, Boomers were calling Millennials snowflakes before Millennials started the phrase "OK Boomer".

“Glory days, well they'll pass you by.” Damn straight!

“Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 64?” Nope.

“I hope I die before I get old.” Sorry - you didn’t.

We really need boxing rings every four blocks- like banks.

Straight guys are getting pissy and they linger to argue bullshit.

Friends and Seinfeld are garbage shows famous for no reason, and the entire casts have reached their peaks (besides for Schwimmer, Kudrow, & JLD):

Jennifer Aniston has had flop after flop. She is known for nothing besides the tabloids. Her thing with Pitt should be irrelevant by now (it's been 15 years, people, get over it), and she is now at the level of the Kardashians (except she's more classy, they're Calabasas trash).

Matthew Perry has flop after flop, and is another line away from being Mama June

Matt LeBlanc's biggest hit has been on premium cable

Courtney Cox has only done a show that got cancelled, and picked up by a cable network. She is like Aniston - extremely overrated, nothing more than a has-been with bad fillers

Michael Richards got cancelled years ago because we found out he's racist

Jason Alexander has done nothing of note since Brandy's Cinderella

Jerry Seinfeld was finally figured out to be a talentless asshole. And if R Kelly can be tarnished for having consensual relationships with underage girls, Seinfeld should've been too (I don't like R Kelly, but Seinfeld was 40 when he dated a 17-year-old, and basically got away with it because he had a hit show).

I love that the misanthropic DL threads are so ubiquitous that the site might as well automatically regenerate them every few weeks.

R131 no no no no NEVER!!

It really is the best decade of films by far. Spills a bit into to early 80s.

I think Billie Eilish sounds like she's mumble-singing in a car--with the A/C on full blast, and she's stopped at a red light and doesn't want the person next to her to know she's singing--because she's so self-conscious and emo. It's ridiculous that she won so many Grammys.

Her brother Finneas, on the other hand, has a great voice. He also writes all her music, so there's some similarities. But he can actually sing and emote. Listen to him at the link below.

Black conservatives like Dr. Glenn Loury, Larry Elder, Dr. John McWhoter (not really a conservative), Dr. Thomas Sowell, David Webb, Jason Riley, etc, actually offer intellectual, practical dialog as a trajectory beyond victimhood politics, but are consistently & consciously shut out of the conversation by white liberals & black race baiters. It just proves how full of shit & unfocused BLM & the current anti-race movement are. Refute all you want to, this is simply the truth. The men mentioned above expound information & platforms based in numbers, facts, stats, life experience, educated observation, not histrionic hashtag agenda & fake desire to make change. Opening up your perspective & willingness to make the effort go a long way.

It was the Democrats who started and then intensified the Vietnam war. The country has never and will never recover from it. They have repeatedly since then tried to rectify its horrors but it is a fruitless task.

R107 has seen exactly 2 films from the pre 1950s. Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch and Pot o' Gold.

Most of the BLM protests were about breaking quarantine. People just wanted to get out and be social.

R26 spot on.

On June 8th, 2020 when Pelosi et al donned kente cloth scarves and knelt in Emancipation Hall, that was sooo cringeworthy and dare I say, extremely patronizing.

The current BLM protests and associated looting and destruction will have only made matters worse for their cause. This will be reflected at the polls.

U.S. involvement in Vietnam began under Eisenhower, R143

The right to end ones life quickly is the ultimate human right.

Well if you want go back to the very beginning you can go back to Truman.

Spray painting on the road, on the walls of buildings or on statues doesn’t convince anyone to join your cause.

The effective (though admittedly duller) way to change the system is to get involved by voting, especially at the lowest level. Don’t just vote in the presidential election.

Gay conservatives: a) desperate for daddy to love them b) a justification for their racism c) all of the above

Julia Roberts best performance is The Nanny Diaries audiobook.

Here’s a really controversial one:

A hatred or litter or vandalism doesn’t equal racism.

R149/r143 yes please but it was LBJ who escalated it and got us into what was the quagmire. That Was the beginning of the end of our great post-war economy too. I’m a Democrat but he was not a great President at all.

LBJ did so many great things on the domestic front that are overshadowed by Vietnam (rightly or wrongly).

Frida Kahlo is fairly overrated as an artist.

R156 which paved the way for the stagflation of the 70s and we haven’t had a truly great economy ever since.

R158, nonsense. The 90s was a great time economically speaking.

The Kennedy family needs to go away. I liked JFK, Bobby and Teddy but that's where their usefulness ends. Their mystique is blown wayyyy out of proportion--especially Jacky. What the hell did she do that was so great? And she didn't even look good for such a "youthful" woman.

I've seen many of these presidential rankings list JFK so high. Some people even feel he was better than Truman (ridiculous)! Come on--he was president for three fucking years. There is no way anybody president for that short of time could be that great. Sorry but there just isn't.

The acting in modern films is superior to older films. But the stories aren't as good because every story that can be told has been told- there's nothing more to say about humankind

Life is too short for bad weed and shoes that don’t fit my arch.

[quote] The acting in modern films is superior to older films

Yes, this is why I cannot stand most films made before the 50s. The 50s is really where stagey acting started falling out of favor. I attempted to watch Rebecca a few days ago and I couldn't make it past the first 20 minutes or so, it was wayyyy to melodramatic.

I think Al pacino overacts way too much! And these so called genius of cinemas are overrated, mainly scoresce, Sean Penn, dicaprio etc.

I love many of the old films- the long hours, discipline and artifice. Lack of interest in the meaning of a film, most were only concerned if it was a decent part or who there costar was. All that studio training in diction and posture and dancing and whatever was A mid-atlantic accent put to use. So the best ones were a bit stagey - because they were actually trained to act too. Bette Davis said it best in that Cavett interview she did before I was born. She was asked what she thought about the new naturalism in film. She praised a few people then proclaimed with a puff of smoke - "I do think good acting should look like a bit of work."

I like georgina chapman and don't think she's that bad at all.

I believe that Heidi Klum is a nymphomaniac with a very sketchy and adventurous sex life. Men, women, dogs. Orgies.

Yesterday may have received all the attention but She's Leaving Home is a work of pure genius.

Showgirls was a terrific movie.

"Yesterday may have received all the attention but She's Leaving Home is a work of pure genius."

Lennon's answer lines in the chorus, where he sings from the point of view of the spurned parents, is what gives "She's Leaving Home" most of its emotional power. He sounds so melancholy, it's heartbreaking. And I love the fact that, at the height of the so-called "generation gap", they had it in them to actually consider how the parents themselves felt, instead of just demonizing them.

I have yet to find an audiobook I can finish. I'd prefer to just read the book. It's just not the same.

American Graffiti was only an ok movie. And every movie Lucas made after that was an atrocity.

R173 It can depend a lot upon the narrator.

R172 I meant

Timothee Chalamet is overrated

Armie Hammer is a good looking guy but a lousy actor.

DiCaprio is no acting god

R173 I agree with that. And the acting certainly wasn’t anything great either. It’s fun and nostalgic to watch but never thought it deserved to be a “great movie” by any stretch .

Juneteenth is a vanity holiday.

Cuomo gets a free pass for killing nursing home patients because he's a liberal democrat

R180 is a killjoy,

Trump is right finally for once in his life. Whoever heard of Juneteenth before his rally date?

I never heard of Juneteenth until a few weeks ago.

In Texas, everybody knows about Juneteenth. There are parades and celebrations every year.

R177: That's not an unpopular opinion. He thought he would automatically happen because he's tall and handsome. His people will try till the day they die to make the public give a shit about him.

Paris's beauty is overrated. I personally think cities like Vienna, Florence, etc. are more beautiful.

English should become the official language of the United States.

All tattoos are ugly.

Shitting is rape.

I didn't ask for this huge, smelly, phallus-shaped object to stretch out my asshole, it just forced its way in there without my consent!

I have never liked Betty White.

No, it's just your opinion.

It's cute that you think you're an intellectual when you can't even get the basics of fact vs. opinion down.

I hate the sound of Spanish. It sounds trashy and ghetto to me.

Cher did not deserve the Oscar for "Moonstruck".

R120, bless you and others who take the time and effort to help educate the under informed.

R130, Good theory, worth considering.

I'm an ophidiophile. I love snakes but not as pets and not as a fetish. I go to reptile shows and have to admit that many reptile owners are deeply disturbed. I'm unpopular on both sides of the issue, story of my life.

R195: That’s not an unpopular opinion

I think most women are impossible to deal with.

Obama was the worst president ever.

^You win!

Americans have lost freedom of speech. When you can't state a preference for President without fear of backlash, cancel culture, and potential boycotts to business, free speech is over. Right now white people have to kiss black peoples ass or face serious consequences. Words are meaningless.

I think Twitter is one of the worst things that has ever happened to humanity.

The funniest fucking thing in the worst fucking movie ever...

See, for as many crap movies as Al Pacino has done, he doesn’t phone it in — he actually puts in a bizarre amount of effort, to the point where you’re like, why are you wasting your time on a POS like this?

But that’s one of the reasons why he’ll always be better than DeNiro.

Harry and Meghan do have the potential to precipitate the end of the BRF after QE2 dies.

"A lot of police officers grew up in provincial Irish and Italian Catholic households and that’s why they’re racist. It’s not the job per se it’s how they were raised."

They were raised to be cops, so what's your point?

Saying Boris Johnson is the British version of Trump is nonsense as they are so different and I say that as someone who doesn't like either of them. Johnson can speak five languages fluently, Trump can barely speak one. Johnson is pushing for more international free trade, Trump prefers protectionism. Johnson wants to open borders , such as for Hong Kong, while Trump wants to build a wall to keep out Mexicans.

All these frantically woke white people need to first admit that they never really noticed racism existed before now, or thought it “wasn’t that bad”.

R208 word!

Me Too and Times Up are bullshit. They’re about having power.

I don't care about COVID-19 anymore. If I never hear about it again, it'll be too soon. I refuse to center my life around it and I won't live in fear. I am so tired of it and over the whole thing.

If you say "all lives matter" you might as well just say "Fuck black people. I'm a racist." You never hear "all lives matter" as a response to "blue lives matter," so clearly the offending word is "black."

DeBlasio is the worst thing to happen to NYC

Many people who have just recently started posting about racism on social media couldn't care less about it. They only do it out of peer pressure because they see everybody else doing it and because they want to appear to be "woke." It's all about image.

I don't think that's an UNpopular opinion, r213.

"Hamilton" sucks and will be forgotten in 5 years, along with Lin Manuel Miranda.

Trans rights are different from gay rights.

There's nothing racist about being turned on by black men sexually.

Timothee Chalamet sucks and will be forgotten in 5 years.

[quote]Timothee Chalamet sucks...

That may explain him passing around an STI!

R214 and many others who have responded the same way, I honestly thought I was alone in thinking this. I thought it right from the beginning when the uber "woke" white folks started explaining racism and what Black Lives Matter vs. All Lives Matter meant. They were such a wealth of knowledge (sarcasm).

I think that sometimes the far left is more homophobic than the far right.

The far left and the far right are proof that horseshoe theory is correct. This is why many far leftists in developing countries love the idea of Russia being a defense against "American Imperialism". Because Russia hs no imperial ambitions, of course.

[quote]I don't care about COVID-19 anymore. If I never hear about it again, it'll be too soon. I refuse to center my life around it and I won't live in fear. I am so tired of it and over the whole thing.

I sort of agree with this. I have to admit there is a part of me that thinks "fuck this shit, let's stop with all the work slowdowns and social distancing and everything else. If we get sick, we'll be sick for a couple of weeks and we'll get over it. People are losing their minds and the economy is tanking. If some old people who only have a couple more years to live anyway die, then fuck it."

I do feel guilty for thinking this way sometimes, but I can't help it.

Much of what divides the gay community can be attributed to the internal struggle that many white gay men face while coming to grips with the fact that they are members of a minority group. It's different for lesbians and gays of color.

I LOVE the language that threatened white people use to describe what's happening, black people are asking us to "kiss their asses", and "bend over backwards". "Shoving it down our throats!" Calling Dr. Freud.

R208 and r209. Um, I think they are. That's why all over America, even in small, shitty towns, white people have gotten off the couch to show their support. Spend some time, and google news from flyover and you will find stories that have NEVER happened before. BLM in Vidor Texas? Protests in Fort Myers? Evansville In? Iowa, Kansas. Every single newspaper I checked had stories about policy changes and addressing racial concerns.

The entire country is at home watching tv and we all saw George Floyd murdered at the same time. For many who haven't been paying attention, this was the first time they had seen this undeniable crime and they were moved to action. Everywhere.

R223, thank god for smartphone technology otherwise people would still be denying it happened.

Friends, Mad Men, and Downton Abbey are going to be shown to me in hell. Because I would rather drink paint than watch them.

R211 before you’re gasping for air ( famous last words)

I prefer uncut cocks.

The danger from online death threats is seriously overblown, and people who receive them love to use them to gain sympathy and clout, and to make themselves feel special and important. Calm down, Sugar Tits. Nobody's really going to murder you. You're not that important.

Safe effective suicide drugs should be available to anyone over 25 of sound mind who wants them. This wouldn't increase suicide rates as there would (likely) be far less anxiety related illness and depression. Some people need these tools to cope OR to use them.

A septum piercing generally indicates someone was molested/abused/rejected consistently during childhood/adolescence.

Holly Hunter grates as an actress.

100% true R230

I hate Beyonce. She takes a shit and the world bows down to her. I can't.

r233, Unpopular Opinion, I hate Beyonce, fine. What's with the shitting and the (again with the bending over) and bowing, why THAT metaphor. You didn't say She shits and people buy it, or She shits and expects applause, or She shits and expects people to eat it, vulgar, but logical. But, bowing?

Maybe I'm wrong because here's a stunning video with 266m views and she's literally vomiting and shitting. But that's not what you meant, is it?

A lot of black men and women have it just fine and racism isn’t as bad as they want us to believe.

Trump deserves to be re-elected

George W. Bush was a worse president than Trump. Flame away.

Christine McVie>>>>Steve Nicks

I'm tired of everything being "abusive" or labeled "abuse", emotionally speaking. God forbid you go off on someone, you're now emotionally abusive. Ugh.

The ubiquity of camera phones have for the most part done a massive amount of damage to society. Sometimes they will capture something that needs to be shown but for the most part they've led to narcissism, aggression, paranoia, lack of privacy and voyeurism. Cell phone cameras should have been an expensive additional option, not something that comes with every phone.

R240, I feel like it's impossible to ever feel true "silence" now unless you turn off you cellphone/social media for at least a week. I was in college in the mid 00s, right before smartphones took off and I definitely notice a difference.

R241 very true. It's relentless.

R240, that reminds me. BOREDOM is something that rarely happens now. Because we are always distracted. If we get bored, we find something even more stimulating to do. Bored of visiting 10 websites? Throw some porn in their too lol. It's really messing with our brains. I try to meditate and I notice when boredom hits, I find it intolerable.

I'm so fucking tired of SNL Alums. Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, etc. They're washed up and were never that funny in the first place.

Presenting at every fucking award show. All those shitty movies they do together. ENOUGH. Lorne Michaels needs to be put out to pasture.

As a non-therapist, I won’t remember any of your problems unless they are entertaining enough for me to share on the internet. Just because I’m quiet doesn’t mean I’m a good person.

The female director problem isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Actually, a lot of the female directors (Gerwig, DuVernay) are horribly overrated.

Saoirse Ronan is overrated

r246 Agreed, and anything made by a woman or POC is automatically graded on a curve by critics these days. Fuck that. That helps nobody, especially them.

White people should be allowed to say nigger

[quote] Agreed, and anything made by a woman or POC is automatically graded on a curve by critics these days.

Exhibit A: Us. I heard Get Out was nothing special either. Us was horrible and felt half-finished yet it was acclaimed as being so deep. The onyl notable part of the movie was Lupita.

All people who voted Trump should be branded with a hot iron and denied medical care and emergency relief.

R251, in the past, I would have said "this is not an unpopular opinion on DL" but lately, there seems to be a lot of right wingers on here.

Michelle Obama's only real accomplishment was marrying the first black president. Other than that, I don't why she's so revered.

R253, ask that Slovenian Ho-Bag, Melania. She saw fit to plagiarize from her.

Ancient white racist fags are the core contributors to Datalounge. They always have been - but now they're really fucking old. Dying.

DL also seems to attract vile, self-hating gays like R255 who disdain racism but not homophobia.

I'm not self hating. A fag is a fag. DL is overpopulated with stereotypical old white racist fags. The rest of gay and non conforming queer people have progressed. We're all god's children R256. Join the human race.

I thought 'The Lone Ranger' was a little long, but I really enjoyed it.

I respect and applaud diverse casting, but sometimes it makes zero sense. And if anybody can play anything, then straight actors should be able to play gay roles and vice versa.

Well, everyone except "white fags" apparently. You've been plaguing this board for years and are a disgusting person.

Meryl Streep has been overrated hack for the last twenty years.

You don't know me at all R260. I speak the truth. You are free to smear shit all over the walls of your guest bathroom and jerk off in the corner while you read the replies. I see you. So does Mediapolis. Do fuck off miss warwicke. You're banned AND dead.

I can't stand Robert Downey Jr. sober. I think he did better movies when he was on drugs. He is now become this arrogant, greedy, boring ass.

R266, according to fat activists, fat people also be "healthy". I love all these activists rewriting the rules.

River Phoenix was nothing special as an actor. He was flat out bad in most of his adult roles.

[quote] River Phoenix was nothing special as an actor.

This goes for just about all actors and singers who have died in their twenties, James Dean included. They are mostly overrated with the exceptions of Joplin and Hendrix.

Leo's overrated

Leo's lost his looks, has bloated up and has rageface.

Do not ever take the bait no matter what. People are out to bait people to create viral videos. Just remember that every move you make in public could be recorded. There is money in all of this.

R272 He's very one note now. He was good as a child actor but he's devolved. Scorsese still loves him. He reminds me a bit of Depp, another muse for a famous director (Burton). They have both become disappointments after showing so much early promise.

You are what you post on the internet, so be mindful. Nothing on-line is truly anonymous.

The vast majority of actors working in Hollywood today don't even deserve their careers.

The vast majority of guys DL thinks are gay, are not gay. Not even a little bit gay.

Michelle Obama is not the second coming

If Barak Obama had a more forceful and less conciliatory President in his first term, Mitch McConnell would be powerless.

"Hands-Across-the-aisle' and 'We go High' do us bullshit.

Black Lives Matter protests are an excuse to ruin cities.

George Floyd was a criminal and I’m so sick of hearing about him.

Kamala Harris is not divine, in any sense.

R284, Derek Chauvin is a criminal as well. Murder is a crime. It doesn't matter what George Floyd did in his past. The crime he was accused of that day was using a counterfeit dollar bill. The punishment for that isn't the death penalty last time I checked.

What George Floyd may or may not have done is irrelevant. Nobody deserved what happened to him.

I agree with r286, 287 and 284.

R282, that was always my biggest problem with Obama.

[quote]Sunset Boulevard > All About Eve. It's not even close.

I completely agree, R240! The amount of fake outrage, false dialog, intentionally misconstrued information, customized agenda, forced agenda, self-promoting editing, the will to believe, promote & encourage falsehoods--none of these practices have done society any good. As well, any constructive good that could be done by exposing real issues has been tainted by all the propagandists who shit on everything & are blind to the reality of anything.

[quote]If Barak Obama had a more forceful and less conciliatory President in his first term, Mitch McConnell would be powerless.

And you all would have been calling him an angry black man.

R257 is an ageist homophobic piece of shit who wants everyone over 50 to die of AIDS because he thinks the world will finally be a utopia. He is a maggot ridden turd that demands everyone agree with him but he will manage to make the world worse than it already is which is quite an achievement.

Join the human race? R257 overvalues himself.

Right, who knew joining the human race meant being a homophobic gay person. Guess we learn things everyday....

Everyone seems to authorise themselves to be the Thought Police and censor and condemn others' viewpoints and opinions.

I completely understand why using the n word as a slur is revolting and should never be done. But what I don't understand is why people get so bent out of shape when people who aren't black quote rap lyrics that use the n word. They aren't using the word out of hate, they are just quoting a fucking song. If you don't want people using a word, maybe you shouldn't feature it in a song?

The N word should be retired to the dustbin of history along with confederate statues and portraits. I've heard the arguments about reclaiming the word, but I don't agree. The word is both a minefield and a weapon and relic of the past that needs to go.

The Hollywood studio system worked far better than what we have today. Most actors are dumb as rocks and don't know what's best for them. They need a studio system to put them in the proper roles and to ensure that quality pictures are produced. Louis B. Meyer was a god.

Cate Blanchett is overrated

Timothee Chalamet's only good performance was in Call Me By Your Name

Timothee Chalamet's only good performance was as Timothee Chalamet. Who here would have really believed he was capable of giving multiple people STDs, let alone having actual sex with WOMEN???

The pandemic was overhyped and the lockdown wasn't really necessary. They should've isolated the elderly and at risk populations and let everybody else go back to work.

Martin Scorsese has left mostly a bad influence on American cinema.

[quote] The pandemic was overhyped and the lockdown wasn't really necessary.

No.

tearing down the statues of presidents has nothing to do with the reality of Black Lives Matter. It's just anarchists and SJWs who are antsy because they have been cooped up too long. It will bite the Dems in the ass in the coming months and is a stupid idea. It makes the Left in this country look like the Taliban.

R307, when they tore down the statue of Ulysses S. Grant, that's when I knew it was about perfection politics. If they were just removing statues of confederates and their appeasers, I would get it. But Grant? One of the greatest Americans ever? Dumb.

Boards where people think their opinions actually matter is proof of the imminent downfall of Western Civilization.

Justin Trudeau is not that attractive and he's definitely not a good politician. Trudeau only looks good in comparison to Trump.

Mitt Romney should’ve won in 2012

The Cockgobbler is actually a pretty good lay, and I enjoyed swallowing his load.

r292: Actually I would have LOVED it if here were an angry black man. He won a fucking MANDATE - the Republicans were CRUSHED with his victory - and despite the fact that he encountered much racism, he largely flittered his mandate away in his first term.

r312: You're living in a fantasy world, .

R312 must have had Covid at the time. He plainly lost his sense of smell.

I don't personally know anyone who has or had the coronavirus. The media is the only thing keeping it alive at this point. And even that isn't working out like it used to. Few people care anymore. Everyone I know is more concerned about BLM and the upcoming election than COVID-19. The media should just let it go and stop trying to build up fear.

[quote]The media should just let it go and stop trying to build up fear

Bu that’s their job nowadays. BUILD. FEAR.

I hate people praising feo mediocre white men = Harry Styles, TimoTay, etc

LaLaLand: Tom Everett Scott is a huge step-up from Ryan Gosling, That should be a happy ending for Emma Stone's character.

Any of the Golden Girls were better comedic actresses than Lucille Ball. Even Estelle Getty.

Regarding what R318 said, there is too much praise for mediocre celebrities of all races. The worst of course being the Kardashians.

I am actually even more annoyed by the likes of Jameela Jamil and Priyanka Chopra. At least the Kardashians haven't announced themselves as "queer" yet. Or married Nick Jonas.

Zendaya is overrated as fuck

The social unrest will get even worse if Biden is elected.

[quote] The social unrest will get even worse if Biden is elected.

Cuomo, DeBlasio, and Murphy are happy to treat looters with impunity and embrace cancel culture if it means getting Trump out of office.

I support Asia Argento 100%. I think Jimmy Bennett hit a moment of desperation and needed money, so he saw an opportunity and went for it. The public was never even supposed to know about it, but I think Weinstein's people found dirt on her and exposed it to destroy her credibility. What happened with them would be perfectly legal in any state but California, especially in Italy. She can't be expected to know the laws of every state in a country she isn't even from.

And people who stalk and harass her every day because they still blame her for Anthony Bourdain's death need to get a life and leave her alone. He did not commit suicide because of her. It is cruel and vile to bully an innocent, grief stricken woman for something Anthony did.

If you're a liberal who hates Trump, you can get away with anything. Kimmel won't get cancelled even though Megyn Kelly and Roseanne were fired for much less.

Michael Jackson managed to sell a ton of records after Thriller because he never changed his formula. He never took real risks. Even in the 00s, with that shitty Invincible album, he released the same basic repetitive music. Madonna and Janet Jackson were constantly reinventing their sound on every album and were bolder than he was. This is why people all over the world love Michael Jackson's mediocre music.

Zoning laws need to be drastically changed. Once that is done, racial and economic segregation will be reduced significantly. The only people who will be against this are NIMBYs because they suck. If reparations are going to happen, zoning reform should be at the top of the priority list.

Anthony Bourdain was not a good person.

It’s terrifying that AOC rose to such a position. No wonder NYC is circling the drain.

R329 I'm of the opinion that MJ's artistic legacy would have been much greater if he'd never set out to make the best selling album of all time, which famously was his explicit, stated intention with "Thriller". He followed it with "Bad", which was basically "Thriller II", and by the time of "Dangerous", he was following trends, rather than setting them.

Also, I don't know if it's an unpopular opinion or not, but "Heal the World" is the worst single ever released by a major artist.

All Republicans deserve to die from Covid 19.

R333, in my opinion, Purple Rain is a much better album than Thriller. Maybe that's because the songs from Purple Rain aren't played incessantly until you hate all of them. And it still sounds pretty fresh today unlike Thriller which sounds corny to me. If he had stopped after Thriller, his legacy would have been set in stone.

R332 AOC is basically the progressive, female Trump.

Zero experience. Attention whore. Thinks "clapping back" on Twitter equals governing. Doesn't know what she's talking about half the time. Millions of syncophantic followers who think she can do no wrong.

She is good at grilling asshole conservatives on the House floor, and she has played the media like a fiddle, I'll give her that. And, unlike Trump, I think there actually is a capacity to learn and grow in there somewhere. If she stays in the House as a progressive bomb-thrower, I'll be OK with that. But she wants to be president.

[quote] She is good at grilling asshole conservatives on the House floor, and she has played the media like a fiddle, I'll give her that.

This is the only thing the squad and their leader Bernie knows how to do--get attention. When it comes to actually creating change or passing legislation, these people wouldn't stand a chance. Bernie sure didn't.

An actor who gets executive producer credit is total bullshit. They do absolutely nothing. The executive producer credit just allows them to be nominated for another oscar or emmy.

R332. Oh, sure, just the same as Trump. She wouldn't need to "clap back" if she wasn't being attacked. Fox Cunts/Pricks and Assholes are OBSESSED with her. A young, articulate, Dominican woman with REAL LIFE experience, just a little different from Don the con.

A study found that the New York City Democrat was mentioned 3,181 times on Fox News Channel and its sister Fox Business Network during the six-week period of Feb. 25 to April 7, or just under 76 times a day. Not a day went by when she wasn't spoken about on Fox. USA TODAY 4/19/20.

76 times a day! Average, including Sunday!

WHy is that 332? You're so fucking smart, Go ahead, thrill us with your acumen.

Leo can be great, like in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", but he is so often miscast.

Hillary should have won the nomination in 2008. The Democrats have abused her as much as the Republicans have.

None of the J.V. Democratic candidates would be beating Trump in the polls right now.

The Dems have a leadership vacuum after Pelosi, Biden, and Schumer retire.

I think Pete enlisted as a career move, a resume enhancer, not because he felt an overwhelming need to serve.

Jeffrey Epstein was a good looking man, even as he got older. If he were into men, I would have bent over for him.

The problem is he would only be into you if you were 16 or younger.

Lindsay Lohan deserved a better career. Granted her personal problems made that pretty much impossible but she seemed to be a good comedic actress and she never had to fuck for roles.

R345, with Trump in a 3 way, you would be like a mushroom omelette.

[quote] Lindsay Lohan deserved a better career

She could have become a better actress and a star with longevity but she has herself to blame. She choose a life of drugs, partying and blaming "the black guy" for her problems and threw it all away. See: the letter from the studio executive written to her, basically calling her attendance and actions on set an embarassment.

Schumer and Pelosi hate America.

Obama and Biden did nothing about race relations; they made it worse.

R352 Yes, I agree. And they're usually released on Netflix.

R353, exactly. And standards are SO low, people now acclaim that shit as "amazing".

Disney's Splash Mountain to be reimagined, The Dixie Chicks are now The Chicks. When does this madness end?

The supporting characters on The Office were much better than main characters like Jim, Pam, and Michael.

R355 when all the guilt-ridden white liberals finally realize they are no longer willing to continue living on stolen land, voluntarily hand over all their property and wealth back to the native population, and fuck back off to Europe.

r357 Latinos and Africans will have to go too, not just white people.

Here on DL at least- Lindsay Lohan is not a great actress and she didn't throw anything away because there was nothing there. She was a child actor who grew into an average looking adult and serviceable actress-nothing more, nothing less.

The only uniquely American music worth listening to is black music

R359 I've often been baffled by all the references to Lohans "squandered talent ". I'm not judging her because of her antics and addiction... I just don't think she had an unique presence or spark .

Chevy Chase WAS funny. And the first two Vacations and Fletch are still the funniest (or close to it) movies from ex SNL cast members.

I can't stand Laura Dern. Her shrill overacting, her hideous face. I'm sick of this "yaaaas queen!" worship of her. Go away.

Speaking of, Big Little Lies was a horrible show. I think people caught on on to that in season 2, bur season 1 was bad too.

Parasite was just OK and definitely didn't deserve to win four oscars. Total PC on the part of the Academy.

Zoe Kravitz is a charisma void but because she checks all the diversity boxes, they keep casting her in huge projects

See also: Zendaya

R363: I thought I was the only one. She's painful to look at and she plays the same character again and again.

I can't stand Greta Gerwig. She's ugly and has produced nothing of great substance but of course is graded on a curve due to her gender.

Manchester by the Sea sucked and was nothing more than a male Lifetime movie. Casey Affleck was nothing special and has played that same zoned out, whiny, mumbling character in almost everything. Michelle Williams was terrible ("mah heart waz bwokenn!"). Lonergan's insistence on having a cameo in all his movies, as if he's Alfred fucking Hitchcock, is embarrassing to say the least.

R357, everyone in the entire world lives on land stolen from someone else at some point in the past, everyone.

[quote]Manchester by the Sea sucked and was nothing more than a male Lifetime movie. Casey Affleck was nothing special

I liked it a lot. It was the first movie I bothered to go to a theatre to see since Brokeback Mountain, and I was not disappointed. And I thought Casey was extremely special. I thoroughly wished for nude scenes.

r372 I saw a tweet from someone saying that their friend slept with him in 2000 and said he has a small dick. They might've deleted it though, but I saw it.

Jodie Foster is not a great actress, not even close.

I fucking hate wearing masks in public. They aren't comfortable and at least 60% of everyone else I see don't wear one so I look like an idiot. And I'm still not sure how much of the COVID-19 business is real and how much is media hysteria. But I wear one anyway just in case, because better safe than sorry. If everything they say about it is true, then the more people wear masks the sooner it will go away. And that is what I really want. For this virus just to go away so I won't have to hear about it ever again.

[quote] And I'm still not sure how much of the COVID-19 business is real and how much is media hysteria.

Inhaling paint thinner is very, very dangerous. Just saying.

The Rolling Stones were never an amazing band and the fact that they were even considered "bad boys" seems really funny to me, especially in retrospect. They are the definition of "tryhard".

R374: She's very intelligent and very classy but as an actress she's lifeless and mechanical. She should give back her oscar for The Accused.

Harvey Weinstein is innocent.

R378, I agree. I think Julianne Moore is intelligent, classy AND a great actress. Did nobody else notice that the The Accused takes place in Washington state yet Jodie keeps doing a poor attempt of a Boston townie accent? WTF was that??

R380: I agree that Julianne seems very down to Earth but I think like Jodie she's not the world's greatest actress.

R381, maybe not the greatest, but she is capable of actually showing warmth and sexiness on screen. Jodie's attempt at playing sexy in The Accused was so embarassing.

Crew members are more difficult to work with than actors on a film/tv set.

Being engaged doesn’t mean shit. In fact, most engagements usually fall apart.

Getting married is also not an accomplishment. So you're married? Good for you. Call me in 50 years if you're still together and I'll be impressed.

Trump was kind of cool back in the day, a good time guy. He was over the top, flamboyant, had gold toilets, liked to fuck good looking women - he was like a straight version of a campy gay man. I don't believe he is homophobic or really that racist - I don't think he give 2 shits either way. He's a democrat. He's addicted to power and fulfill that addiction he will do or say whatever it is to get it/keep it. The Trump pre politics would never have wanted to be associated with white trash under any circumstances.

Madonna still makes good and relevant music.

Madonna is sadly no longer relevant because of her age and her warped looks.

Madonna is friends with Sharon Stone. And famous pop stars have more fame than famous movie stars.

What was the deal with Rachel and Ryan? Was it this great love story or no? I like Rachel but hate gosling.

Scientists and Philosophers should not be put on high pedestals.

Black Lives Matter matters but treating a drugged out thug who threatened to blow out a pregnant woman's belly with a gun in her stomach so a terrorizing gang could ransack her house as if he's some kind of hero and icon for freedom and dignity is truly fucked up shit.

People hate madonna because she lives too long and is too famous. People expect a legend at her level to die early like Elvis, John Lennon or Michael.

R396, if she had died in 2006, after her Confessions Tour and Hung Up, she would be immortalized forever. I mean, she already kind of is, but everything after Confessions has gotten less interesting and more desperate.

It should be perfectly acceptable to laugh at people who say things like "I don't believe in labels", "according to the Kinsey scale..." and "I'm queer".

R395: THANK YOU!

I don't find Elizabeth Hurley's son attractive.

I think people who don't know how pandemics work are irredeemably stupid.

Those who refuse containment efforts (first and foremost) and mitigation efforts (when that's what we're left with) deserve to get sick or die. My only concern for them pertains to herding them up as the potential vectors of infection they are.

throwing money at a broken education system won't fix it - however, a badly formulated, unfocused, and overstretched curriculum is fixable

teachers' unions should be disbanded

Obama and Biden are corrupt pieces of shit. Yeah Flynn!

R392 Nice try Hun but no. You never see movie stars try to become pop music stars other than JLo. Most pop stars try and fail to be movie stars. Overall stature and respect goes to the movie star.

Madonna always wanted to be Marilyn Monroe. Julia Roberts got the closest to that career. So obviously Madonna is jealous. And has always been.

Madonna, Elvis and Michael Jackson attained more fame than any movie star did.

If Americans learn to be less selfish, America will come back stronger than ever. If not, we are doomed.

I think it's too late to do all these changes after George Floyd's death (NASCAR and the Confederate flag, Aunt Jemima, Lady Antebellum, Uncle Ben's, Disney's Splash Mountain, etc.) All these things have been around for years and you've waited until just now to do something about them because the world's eyes are on racism? I think the companies are just doing it for publicity or fear that the Twitter mafia will "cancel" them next. If they really thought there was something wrong then it would've been done a long time ago.

"We're the greatest nation on earth" is offensive to the rest of the nations on earth, was always untrue, and, after COVID and Trump, can never be true. Yet even Democrats peddle it reflexively. Until the country sees itself honestly it isn't much more than a big ATM for a few people.

A lot of times, "verbal abuse" is just somebody being told the truth about themselves.

A lot of teachers just hate their jobs and put no effort in at all.

Adam Driver is overrated

Laura Dern's oscar for playing Laura Dern was the worst decision the academy ever made

Calm down, Laura Dern deserved Oscars and Emmys for her work over the years.

There should be an annual honorary Oscar for the actor, actors or whoever the academy fucked over in all it's bizarre decisions. And I include Glenn Close in that.

Glenn Close is probably the most talented actress of the past fifty years.

It's OK to tell a lie to spare someone's feelings... especially when they already know!

The Sussexes will probably succeed with their brand of hypocrisy and greed.

The Harry Potters books aren’t very good.

Ho Chi Minh was the George Washington of Vietnam

Joan Crawford is more legend than talent.

R419: The movies are even worse

Black people don't care about logos on pancake boxes, the saying "master bedroom," Gone With the Wind, Family Guy, episodes of the Golden Girls on Hulu, or the color of Band-Aids. All of this over-the-top pandering going on at the moment is ridiculous and trivializes the real issues. All they're doing is making it easier for the powers that be to say "See? We took care of racism" while the issues they need to work on go unchanged.

Madonna always wanted to be Deborah Harry.

r423 Black people are furious over the Golden Girls thing. The show is also beloved by Black women.

Cameron Diaz is underrated. The only rumor I’ve ever heard about her is that she slept with Harvey for the Gangs of New York role.

Hey look black people Melissa Joan Hart is no longer voicing a black character on a TV cartoon and we've put a racist warning note on a 1976 episode of Welcome Back Kotter. Are we good now? Does that make up for the statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest in the town square and all the times the police have killed you?

Airplane! isn't very funny.

R428 I agree. I finally watched it and was dissapointed. Comedy is notorious for aging poorly, I wonder if you have to be someone who was either an adolescent or young adult in the 70s to enjoy the humor.

Airplane! was before my time, and I still think it's a hilarious movie.

Ben Affleck needs another chance at redemption. Somewhere in there is a decent good guy who let the Hollywood scene fuck him up. He's just got to climb out of the hell he is in and see some light.

Airplane is one of those movies that people should be able to catch one evening, after a glass of wine, and be caught off guard by it's humour - it's been praised and quoted so much that newbies go in knowing half the punchlines and with expectations impossible for any off beat comedy to live up to

Kate Capshaw gave a delightful performance in Indiana Jones 2.

The much-maligned remake of The Haunting with Lily Taylor and CZJ is a more entertaining movie than the 1963 original. The original is boring and not the least bit scary. Julie Harris is a ham in it.

Revenge Of the Sith was an excellent movie, particularly the second half. Better than Return Of the Jedi. It's very underrated and has never received the credit it's due because it's tainted by the first two movies in that trilogy, The Phantom Menace and Attack Of the Clones, which are two of the worst piece of shit movies ever made.

R428 r429 have to jump in because it’s before my time (I grew up with it on TV) and I think it holds up (I mean you can obviously tell it was made in the late 70s but that’s not what holding up means to me) — I’ve seen it tons of times Over quarantine too.

It’s the type of movie like Vacation — even when you know all the lines it’s still so funny — and I need to watch the funny and familiar now more than ever.

R434 I actually enjoyed both the original and the remake. The only version I found appalling was that Netflix crapfest. The film had absolutely nothing to do with the fantastic Shirley Jackson book or the earlier films. It was a bait and switch turd.

White people need to stop white-plaining racism to other whites. This is how we end up with the Aunt Jemima bullshit. And the “CHOP” zone in Seattle.

^*white-splaining

and let’s make that a word.

Sally Fiels is a bad actress-too hammy

Field^^

Over the last 15 years, comedians have become increasingly smutty and correspondingly unfunny.

I thought Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House was overrated so I'm going to skip the sequel.

The current mood over racism will recede again if we don’t move into a phase of constructive action and reduce the angry generalizations. People can be moved to share. Sacrifice is a big ask and I don’t think it will happen in a way that satisfies the current tone.

Exorcist II: The Heretic is amazing. There is nothing wrong with it. The fantastic visuals and Ennio Morricone musical score both help to create a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. The reason it gives for Regan's possession is interesting and raises some deep questions ("Does great goodness draw evil upon itself?") and how they incorporate hypnotism, telepathy, and the hive mind is pretty clever.

I just don't understand why people hate it. The things they hate so much about it are the same reasons they praise Suspiria (which I also love, but the films have a very similar nightmarish atmosphere with heavy emphasis on visuals and music). If it was made in Italy, called "The Heretic," and was about a random possessed girl instead of Regan, it would probably be a cult classic instead of one of the most maligned sequels of all time.

The appeal of Timothee Chalamet is the twinkish look. Once he looses that, he’ll be over.

r445 Your last sentence answers your question. It is a sequel to a blockbuster movie that truly terrified people, so I'm sure people were expecting something equally scary or scarier than the first. Instead, they get a teenage Reagan going under hypnosis with lame flashbacks and back acting.

*bad acting

Classical music isn't that great and egotistical narcissists harp on it to seem sophisticated.

Yours is a deservedly unpopular opinion, r449. I love Mahler. It has nothing to with any sort of perceived sophistication. JNGASPWYTOMOMTIM.

Psycho II is a great sequel. In some ways, I like it better than the first one.

The Ring is one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. There was one good scene (Samara crawling out of the TV) and the idea was kind of creepy, but the movie itself just dragged on and on. I couldn't wait for it to be over. It may be a horror classic to some people, but it isn't to me.

[quote] I just don't understand why people hate it.

To paraphrase Pauline Kael: "if it was in a language that wasn't English, it could have been a classic". I don't like Suspiria actually but in no way is it similar to the Exorcist II. In the latter movier, there are like two suspenseful scenes in the whole movie. The story is so convoluted and ridiculous that it's laughable. And there's no way you can get someone to be scared of a demon named "Pazzuzu". And what the hell does Africa have to do with anything? Pazzuzu is a demon from Iraq yet we are suddenly in Africa? Ok then. William Friedkin was smart not to include the name in the first movie.

Shalamar is underrated and unjustly undermentioned.

Alan Alda's The Four Seasons is the most underrated film of the 1980s. Every actor in it should have gotten an Oscar nomination, and a nom for best picture as well.

R453, In the first Exorcist movie it is briefly mentioned that Father Merrin once exorcised a demon possessed boy in Africa. That is one of the reasons he was chosen to help Father Karras exorcise Regan, because he has done it before. That little exchange was also the basis for the two prequels (The Beginning and Dominion). That is how Africa fits into the narrative.

I stand by opinion that it is a good movie and is only hated because of how wildly different it is from the first movie. I think people were taken aback by that difference but it took risks no other movie would dare to. It is dreamlike and surreal, using strange visuals and loud music to tell it's story just like Suspiria. So I stand by that comparison as well.

Men looked better when they dressed welll even for casual work.

This isn’t a man. I don’t know what this is. But this is what we have today.

I am so fucking sick of nonbinary/genderqueer everything. It's a pile of horseshit for narcissists who are black holes of attention-seeking and neediness and has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Fuck all of them, I don't care about their feelz or their ridiculous pronouns.

An actor set to star in something doesn't mean anything. That could be a case of all dressed up and nowhere to go.

Fat people just don't have the willpower to get off their asses.

Weight gain has little to do with exercise R461. It's 90% diet. They don't have the willpower to put down the junk food and eat the vegetables.

I reject your fat shaming, your concern trolling and your overt nasty attitude.

Black lives matter when they’re killed by cops. This woke mob and cancel culture politics are so phony.

The remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Jessica Biel was much scarier and horrifically gory than the beloved original, which I also like.

Feminism doesn"t ensure gender equality

I don't have anything against her, but I do think Victoria Wood was overrated as a comedian.

If feminists weren't gutless, fucking hypocrites, they'd take on Muslims for their horrific practises toward women.

The Democratic Party is the party of chaos and disorder

A sadly large portion of DL's posters are racists and bigots of one sort or another.

Beware of men who come from dysfunctional families, rich or poor. They will have major baggage that will be with them for life. Men from happy families will make better long term partners.

Fauci is wrong all the time

Leonardo dicaprio is a bad person. I mean psychopath level.

R473: Creep and pedophile level

I have zero fear of Antifa. It’s a bunch of transgenders and incles without jobs.

Fauci is a deep state liberal/democratic plant with an agenda to spread fake facts and cripple the country.

If you want America to look like New York right now, vote for Biden in November.

R475/R476/R477 are all the same poster who also thinks he should be able to say the N-word.

Wine is just grape juice gone bad.

[quote]The Republican Party is the party of chaos and disorder

Fixed that for ya.

R478: How do you know all these came from the same person?

Madonna is a massively interesting and magnetic figure, cliches and all, she will be until she is no longer with us, and afterwards

R481 - Blocking them?

Exactly, R483, and since I don't have anyone on Ignore it's really simple to see that R481 is also [R475]/[R476]/[R477] etc.

Chris Elliott is an underrated comedian and should have had a bigger career.

Grease 2 is better than Grease; The 1980s was one of the best decades for music; Men were sexier (in the past) than they are today.

R477 you mean having the lowest number of cases in the nation and accomplishing the seemingly impossible after being hit the hardest in March? Yeah, I’m all for that option!

I'm really fucking sick of Don Lemon.

I'm really sick of fucking Don Lemon.

R488: Aka the dumbest man on television

Jonathan from Queer Eye needs to cut his hair and butch it up.

I don't mind Jonathan's hair, R491, but the Frocks by Alok aren't very flattering. If he wants to be femme or dress in ladies clothing, ok, but he should let that snot Tan style him.

Listening to Fauci is like listening to weather forecasters

R488 he’s so self satisfied and his pregnant pauses are insufferable. Also — and look I get that the majority of Trump supporters are white trash deplorables — but it’s kind of gross how every time he discusses BLM he brings up shit like “we grew up in the DuBois section and they grew up in trailers. Sorry not sorry.” So asserting racial superiority is not ok but asserting economic superiority is ok? GOT IT

Bob Dylan is so vastly overrated, it's like he's a scam artist who's fooled everyone into thinking he's a brilliant and prescient artist. Even to this day, new songwriters and artist celebrate and worship smelly, unkempt, indecipherable, pompous, passive aggressive Bob Dylan.

Bob Dylan's voice is awful, like a chainsaw. He's a mess, not a genius. Bob Dylan's lyrics (the few times one can figure out what he's mumbling) are rambly, self-important, incoherent and condescending.

I swear they keep Don Lemon because his contracted value is cheap compared to the ego that ate nine o'clock and leaden tongued Anderson a heh heh heh Cooper.

r495 he wrote some pretty good pop songs like "Blowin' in the Wind"

R496 really, how much does he get? That’s surprising.

I think Cuomo’s show is the only one worth watching right now so I guess that’s my unpopular opinion (certainly on here).

Anderson Cooper gets paid $12 mil to say “systematic racism.”

Cuomo is just so much about showing off. He's not stupid but at least once a week I literally yell at the TV 'shut up and let the (other) guy talk!'

Who the fuck live broadcasts their Coronavirus?

Shelley Long is a better actress than Julia Roberts.

Everything ever written in the Bible, Tora or Koran are just a bunch of words from men. Nothing immortal ever, ever "told" anything to a human.

Anderson Cooper is not smart and is a terrible anchor

Anglo Canadians are passive-aggressive and neurotic.

Helix is basically a porn site for pedophiles

"Blowin' in the Wind" is a folk song, not a pop song.

I can't stand Cassavetes. A Woman Under the Influence was 2 1/2 hours of Gena Rowlands making farting noises. WTF???

r505 it's technically folk rock, but it was a pop hit for Dylan and Peter, Paul & Mary

I think Obama was a decent president, but not a great president.

R508: He was the worst president. He made race relations worse, hung out with celebrities, and took vacations.

Requiem for a Dream is not the saddest movie ever, I think that goes to 'Dancer in the Dark'.

R455, The Four Seasons is one of my all-times, since I first saw it on HBO in '81 or '82!!! You are 100% correct. My better half & I watch it at least twice a year. I was so hopeful for a sequel but gave up once the 80s ended. I never had any interest in the series that followed shortly after the movie. Although, there was plenty of story left to be told.

"Danny, will ya speak English? You're talkin' to humans here!"

R508 Clinton was a better Pres.

Funny Lady was a better movie than Funny Girl and James Caan was hotter than Omar Sharif.

Ok...will probably get shot down for this...but I think that Le Creuset is totally overrated. I bought a whole bunch of cookware at an outlet shop for a good price, and I hardly use any of it. The frying pan is just too heavy to use on a regular basis, while the casserole pan tends to stick on the bottom, and so bits of food get burnt and ruin the dish. I have a couple of other non-stick casserole dishes that do a much better job. The smaller casserole pan I hardly use at all, other than that it's a firm base to attach a dildo to for non-cooking related activities.

Pepper Potts is one of the best characters/performances in the mcu.

[quote] He was the worst president. He made race relations worse

Not sure how a black president could be responsible for making race relations worse...

r500, I love Shelley Long, not arguing, but why the comparison?

FDR is rightfully praised by the average American and leftists but leftists are way too uncritical of him. Truman was like FDR but more direct and without a lot of the ugliness that underscored the former.

Gilmore Girls is one of the most intolerable tv shows ever made. It makes sense its biggest demographic was women--only they would be able to handle non-stop, pointless gab.

If you're a grown man and you watch reality shows, esp. garbage like Real Housewives, I instantly judge you.

Anyone who gets butthurt about the flag being burned or "disrespected" should seriously be sent to the guillotine or Guantanamo.

Speaking of snowflakes...

The View is a cackling hen fest and any adult man who watches that tripe is pathetic.

r523, this is a place for UNpopular opinions

Wasn't that woman mentioned on R500 on a program people watch at home? I wouldn't know her.

I think Andy Cohen is an attractive guy but I wouldn't sleep with him if I had the opportunity because he's such a shallow jerk. Same thing with Cooper... who I think is less attractive than Cohen but deeply weird. And I can't stand his a heh heh heh laugh.

Viola Davis is overrated

Blondie never got the credit they deserve as a great band with many, many fantastic songs (most by Stein-Harry or Jimmy Destri) because of Deborah Harry’s unreal beauty.

r527, Viola Davis's snot work is unmatched in the industry.

R527 I'm with you. I've only ever liked her in Doubt. The Help is tragically terrible and almost insulting and I thought Fences was the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen adapted from play. I had to rewind a scene/sequence that had V and D coming in and out of the house for almost 15 minutes and overacting and chewing every tree and cat in sight.

Double Indemnity is not the greatest film noir ever made. I would put other films above it like Kiss Me Deadly, Sweet Smell of Success, etc.

Davis was great in Solaris, as were Jeremy Davies and DL anti-hero George Clooney.

My Donald has the ass of beauty and fuck my poosey so Best. Ivanka get so jealous.

R529 Shut up! 😂😂😂

Except for Jaws and Close Encounters, Spielberg's films have aged like milk.

Hitchcock's films, by comparison, are still as fresh today as they were 60 years ago. They've actually gotten better with age.

I don't like most Hitchcock. His movies are too melodramatic for me. Oddly, I do love Vertigo and it's one of my favorite movies. I agree on Spielberg, that's what happens when you have the mind of a toddler.

ET is unwatchable today. God, what a steaming pile of shit. And it was the highest-grossing movie of all time for a number of years.

Frank Zappa is nowhere near a music genius.

LatinX is a stupid term. Do most Latinos even refer to themselves as LatinX? I've only heard that term used by white people.

I agree R35. Hitchcock films are timeless if you take specific dates away. They can happen any time. I think most hold up. Spielberg has two great films Schindlers List and The Color Purple. I admire Jaws, ET and Close Encounters but they don't hold up well without nostalgia. I liked his Color Purple but he made it for simpletons.

Rr535*

I've shown Rear Window to friends of mine who are not normally fans of classic Hollywood, and they've all loved it. It's still edge-of-your-seat and totally engrossing today. Fantastic film.

Rear Window is a fantastic film. And in my opinion one of Grace's best roles. She was wonderful.

R537 I thought E.T. was a pile of shit when it first came out. I swear I could feel Spielberg reaching into my wallet and stealing my money while I watched it. An empty, mindless, soulless cash grab.

The overall quality of people has declined. It's like the zombie apocalypse out there.

Organized religion had ruined this world.

E.T. was made to be marketed for toys.

I thought that WHO’S THAT GIRL was Madonna’s best movie.

I realize Madonna never made a good movie, r548.

And that ET was also a marketing opportunity for candy, r547.

Women wear shorts that show off half their asscheeks and low cut shirts with their tits hanging out because they want guys to look. They complain about being hit on and catcalled because it's not the guys they want who are doing it. They're ugly, fat, or old rather than say Channing Tatum or Zac Efron.

In the west, fat positivity and POZ positivity are both really stupid. if you're obese, chances are you just can't put the spoon down. If you become POZ in this day and age in the west, chances are you were a slut.

I hated ET when it came out. I was a little kid and my best friend loved it and dragged me to the theatre three times to see it! He ended up seeing it NINE times in the theatre!

R355 in 2052

Joan Jett is one of the, and possibly THE, most overrated artist in rock history.

She does exactly ONE thing, and she's been doing that one thing forever.

I'd be hard pressed to come up with a so-called major artist who's exhibited less growth as an artist over the years...except maybe the Ramones.

Everything she touches sounds exactly the same. Same guitar sound. Same faux-raspy, sneering vocal.

If you've heard one Joan Jett song, you've heard them all.

Whites are responsible for most of the problems in the world today. I fucking hate chinks but hope they will take over the world soon.

^^most of the problems in the world today come from the Middle East and Third World baby factories.

You have to be standing in Cleveland to be able to social distance from Chrissy Metz.

You’re better off eating fattening /rich foods and a lot less. Yeah you can eat more of healthy foods but who wants to eat more of them anyway?

You’ll be thinner and happier. Idk about the cholesterol issue but who cares.

America is the least racist country in the world.

[quote] Joan Jett is one of the, and possibly THE, most overrated artist in rock history.

She's not even a rock artist. She is pop rock, same as Avril Lavigne. So she sucks evevn more.

Drag is not entertaining, it's just weird.

The Foo Fighters are such a boring band. They are proof that being interesting and/or creative is much more important than being "talanted"

R562 I think Everlong holds up fairly well, but come to think of it there is a certain dull uniformity to most of their music. I do enjoy listening to Foo Fighters when I'm working out though.

R563, the best music for working out is stuff you don't have to pay attention to. So that makes sense.

Gay and Trans are not at all related. One is physical, the other is mental.

I love porn and I'm all for freedom of expression but I think sex in the movies is usually really stupid and unsexy. I also think making horror movies gory is unnecessary most of the time.

Trump's a great anti-war president, he's the only one who hasn't started a war this millenium.

R64 I remember when she did a live performance for E the year Dream Girls came out. It was for an award show preshow performance and she sounded like a crazy person. She was screaming and hollering and jerking around like someone who lost their mind. She sounded AWFUL.

R54 you sound incredibly stupid.

R129 what policies did Trump Implement that will take generations to undo?

I’m legitimately asking as I’m not from the US?

^^^^Good evening, comrade :-))))))))

Ryan Murphy is very talented. Uneven, but talented . The people who bitch the most about his stuff always tune in to watch it anyway.

Real men wear plain, white cotton boxers.

[quote]LatinX is a stupid term. Do most Latinos even refer to themselves as LatinX? I've only heard that term used by white people.

I've seen that Latina comedian Cristela Alonzo use it frequently on twitter.

Not striped R573?

I don't know why the critics still kiss Quentin Tarantino's ass. However, I give him credit for admitting that he knew all about Weinstein.

Because entertainment is so easily accessed now at all times, there will be no more “classic” movies, TV shows, or albums made any more

I’m a bottom, but dildoes do nothing for me

Barbara Streisand has always been mediocre and completely insufferable.

The only people who still like Barbra are older gays and New Yorkers. No one else cares for her existence or her music. She is pre-modern.

[quote] I’m a bottom, but dildoes do nothing for me

I don't like glass dildos. They just feel very weird.

I don’t like Beyoncé.

I'm Gen X and Barbra is definitely a Boomer gay thing. Gen X gays have never been into her on a large scale. With us it was all about Madonna.

I used to be against reparations but now I'm just at the point where I think maybe we should do it. Not out of any sense of altruism, but rather it's like "Here. Here's your reparations money. Now will you just SHUT THE FUCK UP already. You no longer have any right to complain. It's done. Over. Can everybody just move the fuck on now?"

I'm for reparations. Not necessarily in the form of a cash handout, but in the form of rezoning, investing more in low performing public schools, etc. In my opinion, in America, only black people and native americans can claim reparations.

Black people are more racist than white people

East Asians are easily the most racist people on Earth. This isn't to say they are all bad. But as a whole, they are incredibly bigotted and/or racist towards those who aren't them, basically.

East Asians are equal opportunity racists. They fucking hate every other ethnic group on the face of the earth.

Whites are the most evil human beings and must be eliminated.

r589 there are plenty of non-white countries in the world you could move to if you can't stand whites.

Oh, what's that? Standard of living? Well, never mind then....

Black Lives Matter but Black Dads Scatter.

Inspired by the last few posts on reparations I will say the "left" for lack of a better term, has the worst skills at framing their messages.

They cannot resist the impulse to scold, to talk down, to lecture.

They have all these great ideas and instead of finding the language to make people want to come along they are just as bad as Republicans at framing in language and concepts that turn people away. It's so frustrating. In short order I will be attacked and criticized for this unpopular opinion, which will prove my point. We so get in our own way. That's why Biden worked in the end. He's the kind of guy who tries to bring everybody along, not shame or hector or cancel them into it.

Can somebody please make a part 2 of this? Don't forget to link back to part 1.

I don't think Beyonce is a majorly talented person. She's not bad, but her hype is insane compared to her actual abilities.

R592, I agree with everything you said.

R594, I don't like Beyonce either but I just thought something a few minutes ago . I will give Beyonce credit for remembering she's an entertainer before she's an artist. Unlike Lady Gaga.

Hollywood tries too hard at "diversifying" projects. Most of it comes off as forced and awkward.

R597 this is true. And I don't mind it so much when it doesn't matter historically but I do think you are not teaching people or accurately portraying society if everyone is woke and their group of friends all include a gay, a black, a Middle Eastern, Asian, disabled and Latino friend without honesty. Most people outside of the left and right coasts exist mainly among people like themselves. We shouldn't try to push that but we should make them see what they're missing by not knowing and engaging with different cultures. There's much to learn and enjoy. Outside of entertainment and politics few groups of friends consist of one of all of us. There should be more thought in how they bring those people together.

Asians will not necessarily love you long time

This thread is just a dumping ground for every racist thought that comes into some people's heads.
