Things I hate.
Meme- gakked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bkm5191 - do it if you feel like it!
Please to be noting that I am being honest about things that I don't like. I truly do not get golf. I am not personally attacking you. Unless you like basketball. In which case, I don't get you. I know I mention some of your fave actors etc. Sorry.
blah blah livejournal has been too nice today. Meme for what you hate in this world.
Movie the rest of the world loves and you do not
Lost In Translation I spent the whole movie waiting for the ‘click’ moment where I realized what it was that everyone else saw in it. Guess what- no click.
For Your Eyes Only I don’t know if the rest of the world loves this movie or not, but dear god I hated it. Roger Moore = icky, and I spent the whole movie hoping he wouldn’t fuck that little blonde skating... thing. James Bond is supposed to have actual sex appeal, no? I suppose not.
TV Show
Sex in the City I feel like I’m going to get nailed for this one some how. It just never felt realistic to me. And maybe it was, and I’m just naive, and maybe it wasn’t, and that wasn’t the point. But it made me feel like there was something wrong with me for not having fucked ten thousand different people, and that always makes me squinty. I don’t watch TV to feel judged- that’s what the church my aunt and cousin go to is for (bloody fundies...).
Band
Coldplay Say it with me folks- He. Can’t. Sing. He can’t sing, dammit! He’s off-key, he’s mumbly, he just plain old can’t sing! How on earth did a band with a front man who can not sing manage to get a record contract is completely beyond me.
Book
Catcher in the Rye I’m going to repeat what I said last night onbkm5191’s journal - Holden is a horrible, spoiled, self indulgent, limp dicked bitch. I don’t know if I was too old when I read it for the first time or not, but I absolutely despised this book, and I’ve never been able to figure out what’s the big deal with it.
Sex Symbol
Richard Gere. What the hell, people? And can someone please name for me the last time he was in a movie paired opposite an actress who was actually near his own age? Unfaithful doesn’t count, because Diane Lane ended up hooking up with the pretty young man with the nice books or something. Don’t get me started on Hollywood’s obsession with older leading man and younger leading ladies, but this man is the poster boy for it, and it makes me crazy. Ick.
Actor
*builds a bomb shelter* Johnny Depp. Look, people, I liked Pirates of the Carribean as much as the next guy, but I just don’t understand the whole cult following of this guy. Not every single part he’s played is OMG-SO-VISIONARY!! Plus... (oh god, did I make the bomb shelter deep enough?) I just really don’t find him that sexy. Okay, I’ll be moving to upper Mongolia now, see ya!
Actress
Jennifer Lopez. Okay, before everyone swarms me going ‘oh, I hate her too, ugh, Gigli’, here’s the thing/reason. She’s a good actress. She’s an astonishingly good actress. Selena was amazing. She was off the charts good in Out of Sight. Then she let the ego and the persona take over, because J-Lo, and she kept phoning it in, on top of picking terrible scripts. What a fucking waste.
Director
*checks out my bomb shelter again* Tim Burton. Look, we get it- you like dark and creepy! But, if it’s not too much trouble, could you please stop making The Nightmare Before Christmas again and again and again? And wtf was with the whole ‘Daddy issues' thing in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - and I couldn’t even understand the Oompa Loompa songs... okay, maybe it was just me, but still. He’s not bad, but can we please say overrated? I thought we could.
Sport
Golf. Maybe it’s not such a big deal here on livejournal, but where I grew up, my family, and my inlaws eat, sleep, live, breathe golf. Fuck, I hate golf. So expensive, you walk around in the heat and raise your blood pressure slapping away at a stupid little ball that never goes where you want it to. And I actually do understand and know the ‘sport’ (it’s not a sport, it’s a leisure activity, I will stand by this point until I die!) well- I had a junior membership at a course for two years. I had clubs and everything.
Basketball. I hate Basketball. Never mind that it was invented by a Canadian, which has been almost completely forgotten at this point, it’s just stupid. I like games and sport where it’s actually a big deal when you score- like hockey. In basketball, almost every time they run down the court, they score. Where’s the excitement in that? I like it when the game is exciting at more than the last two minutes.
Fashion icon
Extremely low rise pants. I don’t care if you’ve got the body for it or not- I don’t need to see your crack, and I don’t need to see your snatch. End of story.

My point was... umm not only does tim burton make the same movie every time by Dany Elfman writes the same soundtrack.
And oh yes. Even more icky than Richard Gere (with Winona Ryder! Did you ever see that movie? that was sick) is Michael Douglas.
Some internet sites refer to Catherine Zeta-Jones as "the mummy's war bride" couldn't have put it better myself.

Can't agree with the others only because i don't know enough about them.
Go you! You have the right idea. I don't get it either *shrugs*

I heart Tim Burton *blocks ears to all the comments* He is wonderful and I don't care :p
