Eminem
Taylor Swift (if you quote Taylor Swift in your status referring to a guy, my soul dies inside)
Rihanna
Ke$ha
LADY GAGA. I just don't get it. Her songs sound like Ace of Base/Madonna and I don't get what is so "cool" or "edgy" about her. I am the only person on the planet who doesn't like her. lol.

totally agree. i only digress at the notebook and eminem. hey a girls gotta dream, and i grew up listening to him lol

1) Glee.
2) Mumford and Sons.
3) Lady Gaga. I had a ban on LG songs during my wedding reception, as she had just come out and I couldn't stand her. Apparently enough people bitched that the DJ had to come over to interrupt my talking with some guests to ask if he could play her.
4) Pulp Fiction. I've seen it multiple times. It's whatever. Not the greatest. Same with Reservoir Dogs, Scarface, Big Lebowski, etc that everyone seems to love for some reason.
5) Farmville. Stop sending me requests, I beg you.
6) Rihanna. Granted, I don't like poppish/r&b/"today's hits" type of music, but her voice is much more grating than the others out there.
7) Ben Stiller. I may get shit for this, but the only thing I like of his is Zoolander, just because there are some really ridiculous lines in it. Otherwise, he is just awkward and it makes me awkward watching him.
8) American Idol / The Bachelor(ette) / Survivor / etc. I don't get a lot of reality tv. Yes, I love me some Teen Mom and Real Housewives of NJ, but I think that's more to see the train wreck than anything else.
9) LeBron James. He doesn't even TRY when Cleveland gets to the finals, then blames everyone and everything but himself. Fuck him.

I know there's more... this is just what I've come up with this morning.

[LaneSig]

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

4 - ...Cristina Aguilera...

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.

Harry Potter anything and Twilight/Vampire anything.

This! I have a theory that there's some special message in those books that is going to make those who have read them all rise up and try to take over the world on the same day. I'm going to be the lone ranger out there trying to save them from themselves.

Too cult-ish for me, but I'm sure I'm going to have to read HP with my kids when they get old enough.

Have to completely disagree about Harry Potter -- at least if we're talking about the books. They are fantastic. The movies -- pretty good to disappointing. The over-marketing? Ugh.

I can truly say, though, that the Harry Potter books were by far the most fun books to read out loud with the kids. You can have so much fun with the voices.

You win. I totally agree.

MOST new Will Ferrell movies.

Anchorman, Talladega Nights, etc. = Dumb

Whereas Old School = Amazing

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.

[AlphaFrog]

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.

Agreed!

Also, The Office. I just don't get it. I really dislike Steve Carell so maybe that's it

As for authors, Jane Austen. I just cannot get into her to save my life. I feel like that makes me a terrible English major for saying that but oh well. Also, Virginia Woolf. Mrs. Dalloway made me never want to read another book again. Thankfully professor followed it up with DH Lawrence so he redeemed himself.
