Everybody seems to hate the recent _The Big Bang_, a faux-noire detective story with particle physics; I thought it was hilarious (plus it looked really great). I mean, a film that blows up an albino midget just to have the hero make the pun: “He’s astrophysics… A white dwarf gone supernova.” What’s not to like? ---

> [@mac\_bolan00](#): > > i liked watching “the comish.” Who didn’t like “The Commish”? Okay, obviously it was cancelled so not enough people liked it but I found it a fun show. Although watching it did result in head explosions when Michael Chiklis re-emerged as a very different type of cop in “The Shield”. I like Barry Manilow. I have seen him in concert. There. I’ve said it. > [@Sr Siete](#): > > Underrated and surprisingly clever movie. Doesn’t belong here at all. Oh yes it does. ---

> [@pbbth](#): > > Me too! If M. Night Shyamalan makes a movie I will be there to see it and I have yet to be disappointed. Well, okay, The Happening wasn’t fabulous, but it had enough freaky crap going on and a couple of truly funny moments that I walked away thinking it was his weakest film but still not bad at all. Did you like the Last Airbender movie? ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > I read Battlefield Earth cover to cover and found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable yarn. You are now dead to me. It’s been well over a decade, and there’s still a chunk of my cerebellum lying quivering and bleeding in the corner, whimpering quietly to itself. Oh, wait, hang on - I was thinking of Mission: Earth. OK, you’re not entirely dead to me. You’re now in a persistent vegetative state to me. ---

I occasionally watch the tween shows on Nick and Disney. Some of them (eg: iCarly) are quite good. I even like Hannah Montana, which should probably win this thread. ---

My name is JoeBuck and I love, love, love **Melrose Place** , original series. Yes, it’s trashy as hell, but that’s what makes it soooooo good. I’ll admit I had zero interest in watching it when it first aired in the '90s. But then my wife insisted I watch the DVDs, and I figured I’d humor her by sitting through the first season and then read, get online, run errands while she watched the other discs. But man, it just sucked me in. The new series (which was canceled after one season on the CW last year), was but a pale imitation. ---

> [@Stoid](#): > > I really like the music, and I don’t hate the rap, but the music is Queen and Bowie, so whats not to like? I tend to turn off the Bowie/Queen version if it comes on the radio, but will twist my ballcap about 45 degrees and “ghetto” myself out when Vanilla Ice comes on. Same thing with “Humpty Dance.” And I like “St. Elmo’s Fire.” **Girl Wonder** doesn’t understand my love for [Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0294097/) and [Sealab 2021](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0278877/). ---

I liked the series **Ruby and the Rockits**. I wasn’t aware of the volume of hatred of the Pirates sequels. I liked them. I also, despite thinking I don’t like Russell Brand, really liked the **Arthur** remake. Does \*\*Ice Princess \*\*belong in this thread? It’s ridiculous, but I like it. > [@BrotherCadfael](#): > > I occasionally watch the tween shows on Nick and Disney.
