Controversial Entertainment Opinions/Discussion Thread

[BenchBrawl]

I'll start:

Beavis & Butthead is the best cartoon TV series of all-time, ahead of The Simpsons and South Park.The way the intelligence was hidden behind the vulgar and seemingly contentless humor was brilliant.Besides, I get more laughs out of B & B than any other show, which in the end is the most important factor.

Mod Warning: All can express their opinion in here, but let's keep it civil.

2pac and Biggie are both highly overrated and it's because they died.

 

[aleshemsky83]

Didnt like B and B. Beavis and butthead had some serious crap due to budget constraints

I watched a bit of it but literally the whole episode was just them talking over a kiss music video and I got bored

Here's a truly controversial opinion. The Wire has a lot of soap opera quality acting, and it suffers pretty badly for i in terms of watchabiity. I'd say it's about 50/50 between good and bad. I'm not even talking about the people they bring off the street. McNulty sucks , guy should stick to shakespeare theatre or whatever the hell he usually does

Slayer are overrated as hell. Their only really good albums are "Reign In Blood" and "Hell Awaits."

 

[ADifferentTim]

Back when Marvel turned Captain America into a HYDRA agent, that moment made me think even Stan Lee would even approve of turning Peter Parker/Spider-Man into a Yankee fan.

Radiohead isn't that great. The answer to "Stones or Beatles?" is the Velvet Underground. Maybe this isn't controversial on HF but any time I've told someone my opinions on LOST (it's stupid), they looked at me like I should be locked up.

 

[BonMorrison]

Pulp Fiction is overrated. Both Inglorious Basterds and Reservoir Dogs are superior; an argument can be made for Kill Bill Vol. 1.

Pink Floyd is also overrated af.

I think radio head is horrible. Their popularity combine with how I actually perceive their music make me seriously wonder if I'm missing something. Like I can't even imagine how people think they're good.

Agree with this 100%. First time I've seen someone else admit it.

Mine:

Bob's Burgers ****ing sucks.
The Academy Awards never pick the best picture.
How to Train Your Dragon is an absolutely awful movie, one of the worst I've ever seen.
Toy Story got significantly better as it went along but was always good.
Terminator 2, Avatar, and Titanic are overrated.

Oh whoever it was that said the sequel to 2001: ASO was better than the original wins this thread lol

You favorite movie? It's bad.

 

[aleshemsky83]

You favorite movie? It's bad.

But my favorite movie is whatever your favorite movie is, so how can you think your favorite movie is bad

In the HP Movie universe:

Dolores Umbridge in Order of the Phoenix is a better villain than Voldemort is in any HP movie.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Was it Stephen King who said something similar about Umbridge in the books? Something along the lines of her being the best villain in the series or one the best ever written.

Never even thought about this before but that's so true. The amount of rage I got from Umbridge was at such a higher level than Voldemort that it was ridiculous.

Bob Dylan and Shawshank Redemption both suck

 

[Jumptheshark]

Scooby Doo in the 70's is one of the most subversive cartoons of all time

The show was more or less about a bunch of pot smokers on a long road trip

 

[member 151739]

Citizen Kane is a dreadfully boring film, and if you don't like it, you shouldn't be coerced into saying it's "good" if you actually disagree.

The Shawshank Redemption is overrated.

Forrest Gump is overrated.

Pulp Fiction is, at best, Tarantino's fourth best film.

Led Zeppelin is the most overrated band to ever exist.

Coldplay is actually great.

The Eagles were the best '70s band.

The Wire, though it's really darn good, is very overrated.

Nirvana was overrated. Pearl Jam is much better.

'80s and '90s metal is pretty much 98% trash. Slayer, Pantera, etc. Yuck.

The television miniseries of The Stand is the best Stephen King adaptation.

Apocalypse Now sucks.

Apocalypse Now Redux sucks even more.

 

[x Tame Impala]

If you look at essentially any superhero with even a small bit of realism you'd find that they're incredibly selfish, borderline sociopaths, that do far more harm than good. It would be impossible for them to exist in the real world. All of their stories are dumb and grandiose.

For the record I still love them and can't get enough

I can never place Reservoir Dogs too high on any lists, because it pretty much ripped off City on Fire completely, and I liked the latter a lot more. In fact, City on Fire is probably a far superior work, for originality, technique, and music. The acting, on the other hand, is a wash between the 2 works.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Pearl Jam is god awful

 

[BonMorrison]

Oh, I got a good one. Creed is awesome.

To go with the above grunge posts, Alice in Chains was better than Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I loathe Vladimir Nabokov.

Alice in Chains is awful.

Love ya, Bon.
