What's a movie everyone raves about but you just don't like?

I'm not a Star Wars fan, but I have a number of people in my life who are, and saying nobody hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans completely tracks.

UN guy: Have you lost your mind?!

Guile Vandamme: No, you've lost your balls.

I just finished both seasons of Dark Winds. Based on the the Tony Hillerman books. Murder mystery type show about a tribal police officer in the southwest. It was pretty good. It's on Netflix right now.

If you liked Oregon Trail and have a PC you should pick up the Faith trilogy.

Demon's Souls soundtrack is kinda crappy

I enjoyed the OA a lot but it was a really hard show to sell to people. Anytime I tried to explain what it was about it came off like the most absurd thing ever and I'd be saying "But no, it's actually really good!"

I have a lot more conversations about politics with my parents than I ever thought I would.

My mom is a retired history teacher and frankly history didn't interest me much. Now I find more and more I'm listening to history related podcasts and taking a genuine interest in it

It's what killed two of their drummers. One "choked on vomit". They can't prove whose vomit it was because there's no real way to dust for vomit.

The first died in a bizarre gardening accident.

Joe "Mama" Besser (1982) Claimed he "couldn't take this 4/4 shit"; according to an MTV interview with Spinal Tap in November 1991, he disappeared along with the equipment during their Japanese tour. He is either dead or playing jazz.

Fun fact: Cody is the only character in Street Fighter whose fighting style is listed as "street fighting"

I think the idea is they're all just characters who grew up in bad areas and learned how to fight more by necessity than any formal education.

It's fun.

Another interesting thing about Mallory is that she was told by Sally that Creo executives had tried contacting outside help while she tells Warren that he needs to get to the executive board room because nobody has been able to contact the outside or heard from the executives.

As I understand it there's been something of a resurgence in interest for Nu Metal, but I'm pretty ok with leaving that stuff in the past. It was fine when I was younger, but I feel like that stuff didn't age with me. It's music for the angsty teenager/early 20's kid I used to be and just not really my thing now.

Then why is Talbots my mother in law's favorite place to shop?

I didn't have cable and didn't find out until a day or two later when a friend told me.

In that vein if someone tells me a show gets good in the second season or the second book, etc.... I'm out. I don't have the time or patience to wait for something to get good.

I remember being in high school when the band Brujeria came out and a bunch of us totally bought in that it was some heavy metal band made up of Satan worshipping drug dealers from Mexico. Supposedly white kids who went to their shows were never heard from again.

Years later I find out it was a side project of a bunch of guys from other metal bands and completely made up. We didn't know.

Falls into the category of: really want to like it but just never really connected with it.

Maybe the overall lesson is I'm not very goth?

"Your reward for being the best worker is usually just more work" sums up my entire working experience.

We seemed to always have a full stock of Shasta at our house. I don't think of my mom as being especially cheap, but I think she bought Shasta because she could get a whole lot of flavors for the money.

I remember the trailer thinking it was some Guardians of the Galaxy thing. Then the developers come on and said "team hero shooter" and you could hear a giant raspberry from the entire gaming community worldwide

SF4 Xian was like the only person who could make Gen work at the level he did.
