Here are a few of my opinions, that I think few share:
  • This is Us is unbearably cheesy
  • Thanos wasn't entirely wrong
  • The first three Star Wars movies are overrated and aren't much better than the newer ones
  • Kid A is not a very good album, but the hipsters of that era insisted it was great and everyone else just went along with it
  • The Oscars get it right most of the time

Add yours!

The Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies were well done and entertaining and all, but as a Tolkien adaptation they weren't really that great.
For our light affliction, which is only for a moment, works for us a far greater and eternal weight of glory.  We look not at the things we can see, but at those we can't.  For the things we can see are temporary, but those we can't see are eternal.

Hitchhiker's Guide is dumb and not that funny.  Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is by far Douglas Adams' best work.

apl68, I agree about the LotR movies.
Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all. ~ Dirk Gently

New covers of old songs in a different style are almost always a travesty.

Mashups are generally even worse.
It takes so little to be above average.

I haven't heard a good song since the 1980's.  Yeah, I know...get off my lawn.

Taylor Swift is massively overrated.

I don't understand the obsession with The Rocky Horror Picture Show, it's vaguely funny at best.

I prefer winter weather, cold, and snow to summer because I despise heat and humidity, I can't breathe in it, and it makes my hair frizzy.

There's nothing wrong with owning a muscle car with an automatic transmission, also nothing wrong with owning a restomod.

Ketchup is nasty, tomatoes should not be sweet in any form. Salty? Yes. Sweet? No. Just no.
I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.

I'm with you on this one.

I'll add that mayo is disgusting.

But what will hash-browns DO?  Is grease enough?

It's the transgressiveness of it that makes it popular. If it were made today, when its themes would be much less extreme, it would probably just disappear.

That actually occurred to me as well.

Coffee is vile. I have no idea how people consume something so incredibly bitter.

A-effing-men, man!!!  Sing it!
Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring
Your Winter-garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter--and the Bird is on the Wing.

Duran Duran is the worst band of all time.

Jane Austin is boring.

Leonardo DiCaprio is a terrible actor.
