Gone With The Wind . I hate every single frame. But try saying that in front of old folks who worship the damn thing. They’ll look at you as if you’d just pissed in their Cream of Wheat.
Yes they are!
The Bible is repetitive because the editors tried to keep multiple viewpoints whenever possible.
Alas, it’s not written like a Stephen King book. I’m sure the authors retroactively apologize.
I know what the editors were trying to do. I realize it was a herculian task, especially during the age of the editing. It’s just that the final result of that herculian task which was supposed to produce the definitive guide to our temporal life turned out to be . . . well . . . kind of crappy. There, I said it. It’s crap.
OK, maybe that’s kind of harsh. I suppose I look at the Bible the same way I look at the collected works of Nietzsche and Henry Miller, whom I mentioned above. They’re not without their merits, and they’re great to quote from, but taking them too seriously as a whole is probably not a good idea.
He does have a point–what about the apocrypha? I don’t like the fact that some guys a few thousand years ago decided what was “holy” or not.
I also think the Bible is overrated–but then I don’t consider it to be God’s dictation, either.
I think luxury automobiles are also overrated. Sure, there is a definite difference between driving a Pacer and a BMW, but really, it’s a mode of transport.
Oh, yeah, and Blue Man Group. Everyone raved about 'em. I saw 'em live a few years ago and had maybe three laughs and as many smiles in a two-hour show. Didn’t nearly live up to the hype.
Pistols at dawn.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Sorry guys, but this show is just dumb. The spin-offs are dumb too. It isn’t clever, or campy, or funny, it’s stupid. And I remain convinced that most people who claim to like it just say that to fit in.
Everything by Stanley Kubrick, except Doctor Strangelove. God, he is the most boring director imaginable. A Clockwork Orange was both offensive AND boring, which is an amazing feat when you consider it. Lolita was stupid, 2001 is so bad its appalling. Doctor Strangelove is awesome and hilarious, however.
Disney also sucks, especially Mickey Mouse. It was summed up in a TV Funhouse cartoon, when he tells a couple kids they had a lot of laughs together, and they look at him shocked and say, “You were supposed to be funny?!” Disney is horrible, and all their phony fairy tale abominations do nothing but teach little girls bad values in order to sell junk (which is also a bad value). Awful awful awful. Whenever I see someone with a Mickey Mouse shirt (or, God forbid, tattoo) I know everything I need to know about them. And Disney World/Land sucks too. The most magical place on earth? How about the most over hyped, expensive place on earth? Why do people vacation there? Why do people pay for the privilege of being allowed to buy overpriced tchotkies splattered with the Disney logo and characters. The rides suck! There is no explanation for this national delusion.
ETA: Seinfeld sucks too
Every time someone mentions BtVS I imagine that they’re talking about the movie. I’ve pissed off a couple of Whedon fans by mentioning that. 
The saddest thing I ever saw was a pair of girls who sat next to each other in a psychology class I had once. Each had a tattoo right below the back of her neck:
Girl 1: Mickey Mouse
Girl 2: the San Diego Padres logo.
I didn’t like ______, so it sucks!
I didn’t know Park was considered a classic!
