Are my tastes those of a normal person?

[FascoPoop]

Ok, I hate the movies from the Harry Potter, the Narnia chronicles and the golden compass sagas as well as the fellowship of the ring. So last week-end, a friend of mine convinced me to watch the second and the third movie of the ''Lord Of The Rings'' saga, claiming that they are much better than the first one, which I almost fell asleep on. I watched the second movie with my girlfriend yesterday, and complained about how boring it was until the final battle, which I didn't enjoy that much and was way below my expectations. It seems I am the only person in the whole world who just can't stand watching more than 30 minutes of any movie of the ''Lord Of The Rings'' or even the ''star wars'' sagas. I ****ing hate both of these series and people keep telling me that my tastes are too complicated. No matter where I go, if there's people discussing movies, it always seems there's someone who mentions one of these series and I'm the only one to complain about how I don't like them. Am I the only one here too!?

Btw, I'm not whining here and trying to start a debate, but just curious to see if somebody else shares my opinions.

[Mr. Ron]

Narnia is bad but I enjoyed the HP movies and I'm a Lord of the Rings fan so. Idk, maybe you have a short attention span.

Sorry, English is not my native language and I don't know what you mean by ''short attention span''... Do you mean that I can't watch long movies? If so, then know that I've enjoyed long movies in the past, such as Pulp Fiction and Der Undergang. So the length of these movies is not what bothers me.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

hating both Star Wars and LOTR is pretty much NOT normal. You should be ashamed.

[FascoPoop]

At least I don't kill cats lol

[Meatplow]

lol you aren't me at least

[FascoPoop]

lol you aren't me at least

Yeah, thank God for that!

[Nostalgia]

Well the movies you listed fall roughly in the fantasy genre, so maybe you don't like fantasy/adventure movies.

[Matt?]

what movies do you like?

[Strum]

actually without being mean, you sound like you have depression

which is why you can't sit through anything that doesnt interest you, people that are depressed aren't really into anything at all

[Already_Taken]

i've never seen star wars. however, i really really enjoyed the lord of the rings. I had read the books prior to seeing it though, which really piqued my interest in the movies. They captured the books nearly to the "T", if I do say so. I remember seeing Gollum and thinking, wow this is exactly how I pictured him.

[Mr Flat]

I like Lord of The Rings a lot. I read two books, and movies fine as well.

[Meatplow]

Yeah, thank God for that!

you aren't supposed to agree :upset:

[Nosferatu]

OP, i agree. but ya know what i do to remedy this problem? i DON'T watch fantasy films. voila! problem solved.

[horseypie]

youre only as bad as haz once you start watching weird 'arthouse' porn movies

[Tripp_chaos]

i've never seen star wars..
This should just be asking to close this thread...

[Already_Taken]

i love telling people that because of how heated they get. yeah, i've never seen star wars.

[Titan50]

You're polluting the gene pool

[Meatplow]

I have vague memories of it as a kid.

[fingers mccoy]

this thread is amazing

[FascoPoop]

Well the movies you listed fall roughly in the fantasy genre, so maybe you don't like fantasy/adventure movies.

Yeah, I guess. You may get a point here.

actually without being mean, you sound like you have depression

Nah don't worry about me, I don't. I have actually watched all of the star wars movies and two LOTR so far, so when I said that I can't watch over 30 minutes of any of them, I meant it figuratively.

what movies do you like?

Quite a lot actually: fight club, 28 days/weeks later, lock stuck and two smoking barrels, all of the aliens movies, the downfall, pulp fiction, the Schindler's list, cube (a Canadian movie), Doberman (a French movie). Lately, I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine and really enjoyed it. There are many more but those are the ones that come to mind first.

I like Lord of The Rings a lot. I read two books, and movies fine as well.

Well, I enjoyed the movie Beowulf, and the reason for this is that a few weeks before the movie came to theaters, I had to read the poem for an English class. Maybe that if I had read the LOTR first, I would have enjoyed the movies.

ha ha, you like bad film? lord of the rings much better

[Matt?]

don't worry. you have extraordinarily normal tastes

[Phantom]

The Star Wars movies are great and I read the HP books, but the films are average. I'm not really bothered about hte rest of the films you mentioned.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Lately, I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine and really enjoyed it.

and here is why you are retarded.

Btw, what's that **** you posted!?

and here is why you are retarded.

Explain yourself.

[bradc1988]

Don't watch fantasy if you don't like it.

Yay problem solved.

[JonG]

cs lewis is a great author

the movies blow though

[Iskandar]

I think you should give these series another try.
i've never seen star wars.Dude, what the hell.

[Titan50]

i've never seen star wars.

Why are you alive

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

HP can blow me

LOTR is awesome and I love them

Star Wars is alright, but not my faves

[iarescientists]

lotr is okay but mad overrated

[Iskandar]

No they were really good movies and deserved all the praise they got.

[niobium]

ive never seen lotr
or jurassic parks
or xmens
or any really popular movie trilogies

[Meatplow]

No they were really good movies and deserved all the praise they got.

they messed up minute details regarding hobbits how can you praise it

[Iskandar]

If they did I didn't care but I didn't think they did.

[FascoPoop]

lotr is okay but mad overrated

That's exactly my opinion. I don't think they are the worst movies I've ever seen, but I guess I was disappointed because my expectations where so high.

Anyway nobody has answered my main question so far. I know by now that I dislike Fantasy movies, but is there anyone here who shares my opinion. I'm just asking out of curiosity...

[Matt?]

no dumbass you are the only person on the planet who dislikes those movies

[RetiredAt21]

How in the **** has this guy not seen Star Wars?

[Turkish]

Lately, I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine and really enjoyed it.

Ugh, that movie was terrible.

[FascoPoop]

no dumbass you are the only person on the planet who dislikes those movies

That's not what I asked.

[Meatplow]

If they did I didn't care but I didn't think they did.

Apparently the Hobbits were described as having hairier feet in the novels, this was a real dealbreaker for some.

[Iskandar]

Huh.

[die of starvation]

harry potter and star wars are awesome
lotr is mostly crap

[Matt?]

That's not what I asked.

yes it was. i mean i knew you were stupid from the start but you can't even recognize your own question? damn dude.



Does anyone share your opinion? likely. you realize how many people watch those movies?

[Iskandar]

harry potter and star wars are awesome
lotr is mostly crap**** off.

[Tillius]

you aren't supposed to agree :upset:

ilu

Teach me your ways.

[horseypie]

**** off.

hes right though
lotr may not be crap but its not as entertaining i dont think

[Iskandar]

No it's far superior to the Harry Potter movies which are awful.

[Matt?]

i think harry potter movies are terrible but lord of the rings movies i like. peter jackson is cool

[christsimpson]

LotR is amazing. my favourite movies probably. but if you're not into the story, you won't be all yay about the movies so...

also Matt is right, Peter Jackson is pretty awesome. Braindead and Bad Taste are winrar.

[bradc1988]

King Kong sucked *** though.

[christsimpson]

it was alright. didn't see the full movie but... what I saw was decent. not Braindead glorious though.

[Matt?]

we call it dead alive in AMERICA

[Titan50]

King Kong sucked *** though.

Realise that everything is a subjective illusion and that camp appreciation and post-modernism killed any pretensions of art. Then you will understand everything blows dicks but that is precisely why it all works so well.

[bradc1988]

http://www.wesleyjsmith.com/blog/uploaded_images/wrong-704880.jpg

*insert irrelevant picture here*

Terrible movie.

[christsimpson]

we call it dead alive in AMERICA

no only in the US; because they are obsessed with copyright and patents and crap over there.

[Matt?]

i think all of north america but i'm not sure

[christsimpson]

it says only US on wikipedia but idk for sure either.

[Matt?]

it's weird that that only mattered in the united states... and who has ever heard of the other braindead...?

[christsimpson]

if it was a registered trademark thing in the US then naturally it only matters in the US. plenty of stuff is affected by the retarded laws over there. among the more famous cases you have the heavy metal revival band HIM.

[Matt?]

i don't know HIM

[christsimpson]

they play classic heavy metal in the vein of Black Sabbath with 80s goth and modern mainstream rock touches- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfb74e9F5WQ, but that's not really the point. the point is that there's an American band that has registered HIM as a trademark, which forced them to release their albums under a different name (HER) in the US. they later bought the rights for the name in the US.
