I agree that the LOTR was completely over rated.

[badasstronaut.livejournal.com]

Oh, I thought LotR I was crap too. People seem to look at me with horror whenever I say so though.

Wow. I'm on board with most of this but... I have to share my dirty little secret:
I saw a couple of episodes of Angel. And I really wanted to know what happened next. So I watched all of them in order. And I liked them. And now I just might watch all the Buffys.

I've seen all of the movies you wish never to see. And I recommend you continue not seeing them. However, if you must, Troy is perhaps the least painful and Alexander, the most. The rest are just bombastic effects showcases. Though that's how I make my living, it won't hurt me too much at this point if you avoid them.

Here's my version of your antimeme:

Anything else by Orson Wells (I HATED Citizen Kane - even wrote a paper on it.)
Anything else by Michael Bay (I've worked on three of his... um... "films". I may never recover.

Most albums described as " It has a good beat and it's easy to dance to!"
Thriller
Sounds of the harp seal hunters in 3D.

Sounds of the harp seal hunters in 3D.

Damn, one of my favourites!

[lemur-catta.livejournal.com]

I don't think I want to watch it but, I kind of wish I knew what 'squidbillies' was.

[frumiousb.livejournal.com]

See now, I´m going to argue that you´ve never had good meatloaf.

Also, Buffy is great. :) I am an unashamed Buffy fan.

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

You are probably right about the meatloaf. To be honest there is very little I won't eat if it's well prepared and/or a good example of what it's supposed to be. I am an omnivore par excellence.

Never been to Florida? or just never been on vacation there?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

I was on a plane that landed in Panama City once but I never got off the plane. That's the nearest I've been.

[lemur-catta.livejournal.com]

Sure you won't let me strap you into the Tom Waits appreciation chair one more time? It could grow on ya (I know...so could botulism fungus....*sigh*)

[longpig.livejournal.com]

<3 Tom Waits! I will sit in the chair!

[lemur-catta.livejournal.com]

Okay, here's mine. Had to be more general that is probably allowed in order to decide before then end of the year.
