Most hated book: The black Dahlia and Catcher in the Rye. Stop swearing and stop whining. I can’t even get past the first two pages if you do that. Let me check page 50…okay, that’s it. Next.

Most hated tv show: Unhappily Ever After Loved ‘Married with Children’, this show was considered the same by anyone who didn’t like ‘Married with Children’ and it’s not. Where ‘Married with Children’ had a dysfunctional family where the wife had her reason to stay with her husband and vice versa and where only the siblings hated each other, the way siblings can do, this show upped the meanness of the wife and children and it was all aimed at the husband who’s only friend is an imaginary bunny that’s mean to him as well. All it did to me is say: “Stop whining and leave her.”

Most hated Movie: Transformers, live action of course. Not the cartoon movie from years earlier. Unlike Kommando, I loved the first cartoon series and so loved the concept. The interesting thing about the cartoon when I watched it as a child was how they were able to have an advancing plot and that was despite the fact that it was a cartoon specifically to sell toys and often adding new ones to boot. Since they were robots, they were able to get away with one-dimensional characters, killing off characters, including main characters.
This movie on the other hand, is the first time I walked away from. It was American Pie crossed with Armageddon, with color-filtered CGI so you can’t see how bad it is, which to me mean I’m trying to constantly move to see what’s going on, but it doesn’t help and then give up annoyed. I can’t for the life of it understand why people think they can enjoy vague blobs on the screen. All characters were less interesting than the ones in the children’s cartoon, especially the robots, who are supposed to be the main characters. Optimus prime, the main robot character in this movie had about the same depth as the least interesting side characters in the cartoon.

Least favorite Movie (favoured by most): Lord of the Rings trilogy Love fantasy, but not when it’s bleak. I do want to live in this world or it needs to have a compelling story to get invested in the characters. And while Transformers hid it’s bad CGI with color-filtered robots, this trilogy was color-filtered wholly in order to hide all the bad CGI and turn the sky blue-gray or light-brown. I don’t understand why people can feel invested in a world that looks permanently washed-out with grey skies and grey buildings and sun-light coming from angles that it looks like it was filmed on Alaska. I constantly felt like I was made colorblind and needed eye surgery to see properly again. Added with the dry dialogue, misplaced music, missing scenes like the death of Saruman and slow pacing, I could still watch it, but never really enjoy, because instead of wanting to walk away from the movie, I just want to walk away to a more pleasant looking fantasy world. The hobbit was a better watch, but everyone seems to hate it’s CGI. “Oh, now that your eyes are no longer impaired by the color filter, you noticed?”

Noticeable non-favorites is Harry Potter, but I felt already too old to like it, so I’ve watched only bits and pieces. Off what I’ve seen it was too fast paced. Jumping from one event to the next like so fast, I felt like I watching Fort Boyard. No time to waste what life at Hogwarts is, we need to jump to the next obstacle course.
Also, stuck-up Hermione seems an unrealistic match for Ron and would not accept anything less than Viktor Krum in both status and age.

And as for 1984, I only dislike how a no-dissent camera-everywhere London is compared to North Korea and not, you know, London.
