Unpopular opinions

[fool-ish]

I'm afraid the ZION rave scene ruined the Matrix sequels....

SO...what sacred cows should I slay today?

Fiction


First of all I think Martin's Song of Ice and Fire is actually overrated. I find the narrative a bit tedious. I admire the fact that he'll kill any character and that is truly brave but those books just don't do anything for me. I read the first 4 on a recommendation from a friend and it got very plodding for me.

I'm still debating on whether to read these or not. 'Plodding' and 'confusing at first' puts me off a little. However, 'epic' and 'fantastic' encourages me again. Decisions, decisions!

Coldplay must be the most boring band ever. Usually when someone doesn't like a style of music they tend to say it all sounds the same. Now I am musician and a songwriter and I have a wide and diverse taste and I do usually hate the sounds the same moniker. From Beethoven to Bowie, From Patsy Cline to Pere Ubu, From Johnny Rotten to Johnny Mathis I like them all...but Coldplay's music REALLY does all sound the same.

Coldplay don't float my boat either. That man is such a wet lettuce!

Red Hot Chili Peppers Can't stand them and he can't sing. They have a great bassist and a guitarist but really....horrible!!!

Loved their earlier stuff...Blood sugar sex magic is a great album as is One Hot Minute. The later stuff is a little too laid back and non-chilli for me.

FILM

Well any film with Gweneth Paltrow is by definition overrated.

One wet lettuce married to another wet lettuce!

American Football
Well I grew up playing and watching American football but after moving to Austria 8 years ago the NFL is snooze...snooze.....According to a media study there are about 11 minutes of actual action in a game that takes 3 1/2 hours to watch on a good day....It's just an excuse to run advertising. Time outs, TV time outs...We ought to make the NFL or American Football

I know absolutely nothing about American Football but I can say I hate british/european football. The obsession with it is beyond my comprehension. It takes over people's lives!

Breasts are overrated. If you have big ones good for you but most of the women I have fallen in love with didn't and don't...hasn't changed a single thing.

Oh I like you! I was definitely at the back of the queue when they were handing those out!

Making a lot of money. I worked jobs as a media/branding consultant for years and made tons of money. I now work as an English teacher for low income and unemployed people in Austria and I sleep a lot better at night and work less.

I've never made a lot of money...well I won't, I work for the NHS. Nursing used to be worthwhile. Alas, nowadays it's a case of do the best you can, but it might not be good enough.

Gah! I've made a right mess of the quoting in that last post, sorry! Don't know what to do to make it right so hope you folks can follow my drift.

EDIT: I THINK I've fixed it for you, fool-ish. You can have a look at the changes and see what I've done (by either clicking on either the Edit or Quote buttons and seeing the tags I've included), and hopefully that will help for next time. Maybe even copying and pasting them to a Word Doc or some such for later reference would help. Feel free to ask if you still need a hand or don't understand what I mean. Farseer
