Teachersā¦
Donāt get me wrong, a good teacher is an amazing thing. But most teachers kind of suck, in my experience. The good ones are few and far between. And between them are mediocre people who are there for the paycheck, the weekends/summers off, and the benefits/pension. Not that thatās any different from most other professions. Other professions are not lionized like teachers, however.
We treat them almost like victims of society. Underpaid, undervalued, overworked, etc. That might be true in low income areas. Where Iām from that is far from the case. When they go on strike, no one is willing to call them out for leveraging childrenās well being to exact more money from tax payers. They retire with full benefits after 25 years like their job is so taxing you canāt do it after 50.
And you know what? Thatās fine. But stop complaining so much and acting like youāre so under appreciated by society.

Mission: Impossible. Pretty let down.
That Netflix Witcher series. Thought it was pretty trash all around.
Marvel Studios' second unit production team. They're real shit at nailing an action scene. Marvel Television & ABC handled MCU action a lot better.
I can't type more because I have to go now.

Most hyped up artist from the last 5-10 years besides Kanye, and I think he does what he does perfectly. He does for sure make catchy and accessible music, but itās for the masses, so Iāve never been āmind blownā after hearing his beat selection. I do like that he switches up his singing/rapping style for almost every single he drops, but Iām sure thatās the result of private guidance from record label executives who only care about current trends

Nothing in their appeareance reminds me of cat piss

- Modern music that's for sure, I'm out of the loop since ~2009 and everything "new" I hear is pretty much the same
Looks like I will always listen to my favorite psy trance/ synth wave/anime songs...
- Sports, any kind it's just so fucking pointless and usually boring

Prince is a great one, I appreciate how talented he was, but his music does nothing for me, in fact I find it rather cringe
The batman soundtrack gets a pass tho, thats dope

Where the fuck do I start?
How I Met Your Mother/That 70's Show/2 and a Half Men/Big Bang Theory- Terrible, unfunny "comedy" shows. Just boggles the mind that these are successful in any way whatsoever. Completely unfunny and cringey in the worst possible way.
Halo franchise- fuck is so good about it? Slow moving and boring. Killing aliens has never been so boring. I have no interest in what it did to further the FPS genre on consoles when it is such an average/below average series of games. Give me Doom/Goldeneye/COD any day of the week.
"Popular" music today- god damned is ANY of it any good? To me it all sounds the same. I know we can go onto Spotify (fucking streaming but more on that later) and find more music today that is actually good, but I remember a time when mainstream music stations actually played great music (the 90's in particular). Fuck today's popular/mainstream music.
Streaming- fuck we are a lazy generation of entitled twats! From all I hear if it isn't streaming then we can't watch it! Remember when we used to put discs into music/video players and actually listen/watch 1 thing at a time? Remember when we owned movies, tv shows, music, games? Cue the fucking people now telling me that they don't have the space or some such shit but who cares? I want to know that I am not constantly renting shit and paying some corporation to have to borrow what they will own. Fuck that. Unfortunately there are so many fucking pussies out there that this is the future we are heading into.
Game Pass/subscription services- much like above, does anyone want to own anything they spend their money on? I hear so many people complain they have no money for anything anymore, yet they have ALL the streaming TV subs, Spotify, YouTube, Game Pass etc... how much are they spending each month to not own a fucking thing? Do they really need over 200 games on Game Pass at any 1 time? What happened to just buying a game you like, playing it then putting it aside and waiting for the next great game to arrive, buying it, playing it to completion then repeating the process? And how about the "old" days of demos to find out whether the game was good or not? Each to their own but I really can't believe we are heading into subscription futures. Cue the people telling me "but no one is stopping you from buying anything that is streaming"... For how long will that last? Time will tell I suppose.
Movie theatres- Where are they going? Why don't people want to go to the "movies" anymore? Some will point to big box office takings for certain marquee films of the past few months, and yes, we are going through a pandemic but, as mentioned above, people are happier to sit inside their own homes and watch the latest Marvel film on Disney+ instead of going out and seeing it at the local multiplex. I just don't get it. I don't want the theatre experience to die. I want my kids to experience what I did seeing T2 at the movies with hundreds of others. Like I did with Tim Burton's Batman. Jurassic Park. Star Wars. We cannot lose these experiences...
This whole woke culture- I'm sick of the holier than thou fucktards who think they are better cause they "appreciate" diversity or some other such buzzwords. Who fucking doesn't appreciate diversity, dick heads?!? We just don't go around preaching to everyone how fucking high and mighty we are. This especially goes for the twats in Hollywood. Fucking hypocrites. And speaking of diversity- I never EVER saw myself in ANY film or game or tv show when I was younger. I didn't have to, as I had an imagination! I used it to imagine I was Ripley from Aliens, or Indy from Raiders, or the T800 from T2! Honestly, what does a young black girl seeing a black princess on a Disney movie get out of it over a white girl seeing a white princess in a Disney movie? 3 fifths of sweet fuck all, that's what! It means nothing. It's just another box for these companies to tick off to try please a very tiny vocal minority of retards on twitter.
Privilege- Fuck OFF with this bullshit! You want something in life, then go get it! And stop acting like there are road blocks in your way. EVERYONE has road blocks blocking them to ANYTHING they want. Life is meant to be a fucking prick of a thing. Fight through it. You are NOT meant to be a success at everything you try, but give everything a go! I cannot stand people saying they have white privilege or some such shit. I'm working in an office, bored as fuck and wanted to be a film maker! No one but myself is the reason I'm here doing what I fucking loath. And that is the same with everyone on earth.

I'm sure i have more, but these instantly come to mind
Amy Winehouse
Dune
Drive (anything with Ryan goslin tbh, I dont dislike him tho)
Halo
Avengers
Pasta
If anyone says predator, just gtfo now.......
I read Dune last year in preparation for the movie release and because of all the praise but I just couldn't get into it. Read Leviathan Wakes right after and loved that.
I loved Drive, it's one of those movies where I just really liked the whole vibe (music and cinematography). Reminded me of how I feel about Tron Legacy, I can appreciate a movie that looks and sounds great even if the story isn't anything special.
I don't understand the whole Nutella thing. I love hazelnut flavored coffee and chocolate but Nutella just didn't seem that special to me.

Horror movies or games. I just don't understand the desire to watch a movie to scare me. Like I can understand the desire to be moved by a love story or laugh in a comedy since those are generally good things but why would I want to get scared. Like if you want me to keep my eyes open and my ears unplugged don't make your movies scary.
