Trivial, yet controversial views (What are yours)

Any religion that does not believe in allowing women to serve in all capacities is not a religion I would join or endorse in any way.

Being in favor of adoption until the word “gay” is put in front of it is hypocritical. And incredibly stupid.

  1. Dances With Wolves is NOT a ‘white savior’ movie, and most people who say so haven’t seen it.

  2. I SWEAR TO GOD, I will punch the next person who says Dottie, in A League of Their Own, dropped the ball on purpose at the end. It just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of her entire character and the film FFS.

I’m sorry rsat…I just like that turtleneck-sports coat look.

I think your username lets us know which is which :stuck_out_tongue:

I disagree with all of these (well, I agree that coffee needs sugar) but your post makes a very persuasive argument for that last one.

O.J. was guilty of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman in cold blood. Plain and simple.

Prince’s last good album was Sign o’ the Times. He made some good songs after that, but that’s the last album that’s listenable.

No, Batman doesn’t count. A sigil is not a theme. I’m sorry. I love Prince, and I love Batman, but as albums go, it’s D+ work.

**Myst IV is the best Myst game.

True dat.

Uh, this is a very widely held view, isn’t it?

I agree with others that The Princess Bride, *The Big Lebowski *and Young Frankenstein are all overrated. I actually enjoyed watching them but the cult fanbase of them are really annoying.

Nirvana is overrated. If Kurt Cobain hadn’t committed suicide I don’t think they would have been put on a pedestal as much as they are. And I say this as someone who grew listen to them in high school in the early 90s.

Regurgitating Monty Python quotes has been rendered vapid by endless repetition. Find a new schtick.

Asking a wait-staffer “What do you like on the menu?” is a meaningless exercise.

What’s with the poached eggs perched atop noodles, salads, soups, even avocado sandwiches, all over the place now? I don’t want a cold yucky runny egg yolk all over, I can barely eat it hot, with toast and bacon on the side. Poached eggs are like boiled chicken - cooked, but not to be eaten as is, like some delicacy.

9 out of 10 current day actors and actresses are indistinguishable to me. I only recognize ‘Bradley Cooper’ now because of ‘A Star Is Born’.

The best music was from the 60’s (a wide range of categories, from folk to bubblegum to psychedelia to rock), the 70’s (I love disco) and the 80’s (I love the 80’s). Anything in the 90’s and beyond, I basically stopped listening about then and I now blissfully drive about listening to oldies radio or play my CDs in the car.

p.s. Lady Gaga’s hair at the Oscars looked like one of those rubber or plastic play wigs they used to sell with little kids Halloween-princess costumes. Disgusting, discolored, ropey and cottony - Gaga’s hair, that is. I don’t know if that is ‘controversial’, but I feel moved to complain about it anywhere I can.

Samantha Bee lures in males to watch her show then gets into estrogen rage so she can verbally neuter them.

Conan O’Brien only looks funny. He was actually never funny. He thinks whining and squealing is all he needs to be funny. He’s wrong. He’s always been wrong.

Howard Stern sucked since Jackie Martling left.

BJ Hunnicut was actually insanely jealous of Trapper John and wanted to replace him in the hearts of the 4077. That’s why he read letters from his wife and daughter aloud so much, so that their cuteness would be the hook.

James Spader could play Pizza the Hut and still be cool.

Whoa whoa whoa on Conan. Ok. I might understand that Conan himself is only kinda funny in the bits that are just side-splitting funny. Like with his assistant and Jordan Schlansky…but he deserves the redit for setting up the bits.

  1. Just thought of a new view myself. who the HELL is watching Bill Maher?? God what a reprehensible dogshit excuse for a human. If I want funny liberal takes of the week I’ll watch John Oliver. If I want ‘dismantles the left when they really fuck up’ (since John Stewart isnt around anymore) I’ll hold my nose and see if Cenk whassinamehas a take.

What do I need Maher for?? To say “I wish we had a recession”? or “Blue states got Chef Wolfgang Puck, red states have Chef Boyardee” HAHAHAHAHHA oh thats a great voting strategy. What you’re really saying Bill is, “IM RICH BITCH. It doesnt matter who is president because I can ride it out and it wont affect me one little bit.”

Fuck you and your phoney bullshit Bill.

  1. Colbert stopped being funny on 11/9/2016. Stick to LOTR Colbert.

“Ain’t” should be a word.

Dirty Dancing is a bad movie. Not just overrated. Bad.

Judy Blume is overrated. Her stuff is not bad, and Tiger Eyes is quite good, but she is not the be-all, end-all among middle-grade/YA authors. If a woman my age (Gen X) gushes about how JB totally shaped her life, I have to figure she’s a very bland person with not much perspective.

There are very few books that I truly hate, but The Help is one of them. Virtue-signalling, historically inaccurate garbage. And when you get down to it, it is racist.

While I like fresh figs, I find that properly dried ones that I harvested from my own trees can taste better than fresh.

If you think that opinion isn’t controversial, go ahead and express it in an online fig forum. :eek:

I always thought Balrogs had physical wings.

(Like the fig one above, say the above in any pre-movie LOTR discussion, online or pre-internet).

I prefer instant grits to homemade grits

“Dances with Wolves” is one of my favorite movies ever

Robin Williams was about as funny as toothache.

Rhubarb is the Devil’s weed.

If they hadn’t bred the flavour out of lettuce (yes, iceberg, I mean you) you would never have heard of rocket.

You monster!

Dances With Wolves is awesome, and I just repeated today that it is NOT a “White savior” movie.

Now it certainly would receive shit for making Costner the focus of the film if it were made today,

Agree. Haven’t seen A Star Is Born but from the clips I’ve seen I thought she looked much better in character, in the film, than she did at the Oscars. The hair was a big part of that. And this coming from a guy that generally appreciates the “glammed up” look on women.
