I'll lock the old one. I'll add one to the ring: I thought Mad Max: Fury Road was exceptionally boring. I know it's well done for what it is, but I really didn't like what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegatorgirl00 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 I don't like doughnuts. O really any type of fried dough. I have tried doughnuts, churros, sopaipillas, and funnel cakes, and I don't like any of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're still not convinced, try them in Machete Order (4, 5, 2, 3, 6, 7) Still finding it funny that the couple of times I've seen the machete order mentioned, 1 was always left out. For my own contributions: - I liked the Inheritance Cycle (yes, it has flaws, but it was one of the things that got me reading fantasy) - I really dislike Harry Potter's magic system. The books aren't that bad, but as soon as I started reading books with harder magic systems I started to dislike it. And worst of all: - I like Lift ;-) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammanas Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 There are so many better Science Fiction stories than Star Wars. For those curious I would include the following to that statement: Banks' Culture series, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, the Expanse, Cook's Darkwar trilogy, Tales of a Dying Earth, Red Rising series, Hurley's God War trilogy etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair I did like it at first and I found that the series struck a solid balance between being dark and being funny then Changes, Ghost story and cold Days happened and the series crossed the line from dark and edgy to bleak and hopeless. It also doesn't help that I started predicting plot twists which obviously robs them of the shock value. Also just to add to my contrasting nature I loved both Gantz and Berserk which I've heard lots of people say they hated because they were to dark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesura Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I've never seen Star Wars. Or Lord of the Rings. Or Harry Potter. I haven't read Harry Potter either, and I probably never will. I tried to read Lord of the Rings, but found it incredibly boring. (The plot was good, when there actually was plot happening, it just took way too long to get anywhere).

Nah, not at all. I was 12/13 and all "Ooh dragons! Magic!" and read the first three books in a matter of days, so I probably glossed over the cliche tropes for the most part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syghts Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Adding music to the mix, the Beatles suck. Star wars is just okay. Also Surf Ninjas and Accepted are great movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
