Trivial, yet controversial views (What are yours)

I fart in your general direction! :smiley:

This is the one where he pulls out the Roadrunner flavor chart, yes?

Now that is some fancy wanking :smiley:

Yes, but he broke character, and the fourth wall, to do it. He stopped being “The Coyote” to address the two boys watching him on television.

The Eagles sucked. And I don’t mean the ones in Philadelphia.

Hey, they admitted it themselves: https://youtu.be/dRnKvXqti6M

if Jimmy Carter had prevailed we would have had much better environmental laws and enforcement the last 35ish years.

I’m thankful that I have never heard this theory before.

Sriracha is bad.

Rogue One is the second best Star Wars movie.

Interesting take. It is,by far, the best of the Disney Star Wars movies. I tend not to compare the different Star Wars eras. It’s much easier to consider them as different periods.

If you go and watch “Green Room” you’re going to get a wildly different movie if you wanted to watch “Green Book”, which is the film that won. “Green Room” is a good movie with Patrick Stewart, but it’s pretty brutal.

Psycho is probably the most overrated American movie ever made, though Vertigo may possibly have surpassed it in this regard by now. What’s more, I don’t think Hitchcock ever directed a great movie. He made a small number of good and bad ones and a larger number of entertaining ones, but no great ones. He is simultaneously a great director and the world’s most overrated great director.

Harry Truman was a bad president.

So-called “white chocolate” is illegal and immoral.

Mark Lenard was a greater actor than Olivier. Did Lord Larry ever play a Vulcan, a Romulan or a Klingon, let alone all three? No, his fame rests on playing Shakespearean pretty boys with weird haircuts who talk funny. Mr. Lenard was one of our foremost interpreters of extraterrestrial roles and should be more celebrated.

Chicken and waffles do not go together.

I like chicken. I like waffles. I might even like them on the same plate. But that lumpy white sauce that usually goes with them is revolting, like someone puked on the plate.

The rise of classic rock radio parallels the rise of neanderthalish right-wing politics.

People (of either sex) who don’t shave their pits should not wear sleeveless tops to restaurants.

…how does that help?

You clearly don’t own a pet or child with a propensity to spin the roll madly. Animals, at least, can only really spin the roll in one direction (as my cat has started doing, dammit). If the loose end hangs down the outside they will unspool the roll; if it hangs the other way it just goes around and around.

I recently rewatched *Vertigo *and The Birds and realized that, not only weren’t they the classics I had herd-believed them to be, they weren’t even very good. Still love Psycho, though.

Most (not all) male comedians aren’t at all funny.

Makeup isn’t for me, but everyone should be able to wear it openly, without judgment.

There’s really no such thing as men’s & women’s clothing styles. It’s all just clothing. The only real difference is how the tailoring makes it fit on your body type.

Tattoos are nice until they start to fade, then it just looks like mud.

Authors own fans nothing. If they want to kill all your favorites, turn them into wankers, or make them Mary Sue’s, that’s their privilege as the creator.

I know ‘Vertigo’ is a technically great film with high production values, and it is a good movie and I’m glad I saw it, but it’s seems so overwrought to me anymore. Whenever it airs, the only part I really enjoy is the beginning credits with it’s excellent music and myriad of images. Love that part.

BTW, and for the record, there’s no way I would have recognized ‘Judy Barton’ as Madeline when she “remade” herself toward the end of the movie. I didn’t see the similarity at all.
