I'm going to agree with Bravo and Gutts somewhat. On GW it's "cool to hate", not just because something is popular though... no. I can think of countless threads where someone (a mod for instance) says "this is shit" and everyone tags along and agrees, like it's a sin to disagree with "famous people" on GW.

Too many good topics have been lost due to this.

On the subject "Popular stuff suck", that is also true in many cases. Look at any topic that has "Final Fantasy" in it. Most people end up saying negative things but in the end they all appear to have played the so-called-shit. Weird, huh...

actually i think i will do this

Case in point, this very thread. A globally renowned movie, with millions of people who _like_ it, and a star who is probably on more walls then you can count.

But at GW, "its shit".
hey guy thats probably more because we think the movie is bad and less because feh....popular goddamn you're dumb.  CASE IN POINT, THIS VERY THREAD where steel mentions shrek which is goddamn colossal franchise at this point as a viable alternative to pirates.  explain to me how it works out that we hate everything popular if steel, the most vocal of the minority you're talking about, likes shrek and iron giant (these are both mainstream as FuCk).  btw i like a lot of mainstream stuff too but most of it's garbage.  that's going to happen when the average person is probably about as smart as you and everything has to be designed to fit that intelligence level, though.  it is not about it being mainstream so much as it is about it being mass-marketed to the lowest common denominator (thats you).  that is what makes it bad.

you know what are some GREAT kids films that aren't shit and can be enjoyed by adults too:

the brave little toaster
all dogs go to heaven
the belleville rendezvous
the aristocats

i haven't seen these since i was like 8 years old though but i remember them being pretty great compared to kids films these days.

I hate a lot of things that happen to be popular, but I liked all the pirates movies.  They are just fun action movies, not filmes.

I wonder how many times they'll say "I'm a/He's a/They're Pirates!" or "the Code". They seemed to like saying that a lot.

Guns and Roses and the Ramones are completely throwaway when compared to much better bands that never achieved their level of success.

they're okay but every album has like two songs you really like and the rest are pretty forgettable. I just find it pretty funny he chose GUNS AND ROSES and THE RAMONES as his examples of perfect mainstream groups.

guns and roses more so than the ramones altho god bless deedee's rap album forever.

Wait, are you guys PROUD that you liked shrek? Or what? I don't see how anyone got "burned by a reference to a mike meyers movie", because, shrek was awesome.
