Unsurprising. The only positive words in Cafe Society from Gatopescado that I can find are for cartoons, and live action cartoons like Gilligan’s Island and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Maybe just stick to cartoons.

> Boring. Boring. Boring. But had “mood” that kept you wondering why you were still watching this piece of shit. Much like _Winter’s Bone_. Junk.

> All this time I thought I was the only one who thought that [The Deer Hunter isn’t very good]. The love this snore-fest garners never ceases to amaze me. That awful wedding scene drags on longer than some actual marriages!

> I seem to recall yelling at the screen while watching _Silence of the Lambs_. Jodie Foster is supposed to be some kind of super special agent, who does every thing exactly right. That is, right up till the end of the movie, where she seems to forget any training she may have had and runs around like an idiot.

This quote explains much:

> [@What TV series did you anticipate most eagerly?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-tv-series-did-you-anticipate-most-eagerly/737507/17):
>
> I was kinda excited about _The Colbert Report_. That was a pretty damn good show most of the time, I shit you not. 😉 Other than that, the only TV I get excited about is on PBS, college football and Formula One.

Despite not liking scripted dramas, Gatopescado bravely soldiers on in order to let us, the unwashed masses, know how bad everything is.
