Unpopular opinions

honestly most of those movies aren't funny to me on the first viewing. it's after you've seen em a few times and you start noticing little things that you didn't notice before.

Irishexpat just go with your gut feeling. If you end up with nothing at least you held out for what you really wanted. At the same time sometimes we just have to pay the bills. You have to weigh your circumstances.

I might be the only male on this planet who doesn't think Anchorman is funny
I don't think it's funny either.

Reminds me of a girlfriend , who had read many books multiple times . Something
I can't do , once you know how it ends . To read a book five times or more seems insanity, or your like the
bloke in Memento . She also could do a roadtrip with one cd …..A very smart and funny girl nonetheless .

I read many of the same books over and over again, but I mainly read factual books. For some reason I really struggle with literary fiction :-\
On the great Anchorman debate, like I said before I have noted that Will Ferrel is insanely popular in Europe, whereas we don't really like or get Seth Rogan and his bunch of buddies. Comedic, cultural nuances I guess.

I love anchorman since we watched it while my chest was getting tattooed for 7 hours. When you can laugh in this situation, the movie has to be funny. At least, if you got a simple kind of humour
Regarding books: it's like saying you don't listen to a record anymore cause you heard it already. Good things, like music, movies or books (to me) are pure enjoyment and I enjoy the way somebody writes as much as the story itself. So, I have no problem to read a good book again from time to time. It's not just about the story, is it?
-
i also read books multiple times. just knowing the plot isn't always the point. take the song of ice and fire books for instance, multiple readings uncover tons of things you don't catch the first time. and with factual history books i certainly can't remember everything after one read.

I just read 1Q84 by Murakami. The story wasn't half of the enjoyment compared to his writing and observation.

Pretty sure this is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

..and there's no way you'd subject me to something I dislike multiple times in hope of eventually liking it.
That's the thought process that made me realize I need to sell a pair of jeans that I bought two months ago.

No, that's just because Seth Rogan & crew aren't funny to anyone other than teenage stoners. Fortunately for them, there are a lot of those here in the States, so they stay employed.

Seth Rogen is fucking UNBEARABLE on The League.

Agreed, it's a blemish on an otherwise great show IMO.

Seth Rogen is fucking UNBEARABLE
I fixed that for you, I am of like mind with Will Ferrel though too. I am the type of guy who mostly reads non fiction as well though.
Since we are sharing unpopular opinions though:
The complexities of country music (not the mod garbage) are often unappreciated by those who can't get past it's simplistic lyrical content. Flame away

This will mean nothing to 99.9% of you, but I always found the association between country and western music, and markets at grim seaside towns in northern England in the 1980's unsettling. Every market stall used to have a cheap stereo rig playing very loud c+w music at Skegness market when my father dragged me there for our annual "seaside break" in the early to mid 80's.
-
I'm a huge fan of country. I hate modern popular country, but I'll listen to the outlaws and the old guys all day long.
