1- Anything with Vampires (Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, Whatever that show is on HBO)....Is it a guy thing that I don't like it? I've read and watched other things that were "girly".

2- 30 Rock

3- Alec Baldwin, Jim Carrey, Will Farrell...To me they are all 1 note and not that funny.

4 - Brittney Spears, Ke$ha, Cristina Aguilera....Interchangeable and not really talented. (I will say that Cristina can actually sing, but just sing the damn song! Don't toss in all the loopy-doop notes. Just freaking sing the freaking song.)

5- Independence Day.....Predictable. I kept waiting for something to happen.

Aside from #5, YES YES YES. And Will Farrell irks the crap out of me.

Completely agree with Lady Gaga. I don't have anything against goofy fun mindless pop music - I actually like some stuff by Katy Perry and Ke$ha a lot - but people act like LG is on a different/higher plane and she's going to have a career the length and depth of Frank Sinatra's. I don't see it happening.

Those Twilight people aren't vampires. I'll take a From Dusk Till Dawn character over "OMG TEAM JACOB" anyday

Unforgiveable. I am now on a mission to sabotage every one of your threads for the next 22 days.

As long as you take Buffy the Vampire Slayer out of the mix, I'm with you. But Buffy rocks.

And I'm also with everyone who said Modern Family and The Big Lebowski. I've never made it all the way through either one. And I'm generally a Coen Brothers fan.

And a big yes on Jim Carey. Add to him Roseanne Barr and David Spade.

For movies, I'll have to add Forrest Gump (way too heavy-handed and sacharrine) and Out of Africa (I've sent paint dry faster than this movie moved).

As for singers, there are just way too many to mention. But Lady Gaga certainly tops the list.

Buffy's on a different plain. She didn't sit around all day (well, sometimes) talking about her tortured life and love.

Being Human (BBC and SYFY both) is also exempt. That show rocks.

Buffy et al realized it was ridiculous (in a good way) and didn't take themselves seriously (in a good way). That's my opinion of why Buffy gets a pass.

Yes, I like Twilight, but agree that it's not as special as they and their kind want to make it.
