Sorry. (And so, another chance to be hip enough for the room slips through my fingers...)

Chinese food. Well, I don't loathe it, and there are some dishes I'd gobble up (most types of dim sum, birthday noodles, sweet and sour pork, steamed fish, lemon chicken), but sometimes I get tired of it because we eat at a Chinese restaurant for almost every special occasion.

But I have recently realized that the last issue that I even Liked was durring the Post-ZeroHour era. I LOATHED the Threeboot, Hated the Retroboot and so far Detest the Retroboot 2.0 and it's gaggingly awful spin-off. The same goes for virtually every DC title.
I'm not sure that's much of a secret.

The Rolling Stones. One of the supposed greatest (if not the for some people) rock and roll bands of all time.
I just do not get it. There's maybe a couple songs I can tolerate by them, and even those have been beat into the ground by movies and television.

I don't get the Stones either, Dev. I think it was more a matter of them being in the right place at the right time than of them being especially talented. Jagger is particularly annoying -- a real bluesman would wipe the floor with him.

The Rolling Stones have three or four good albums mid-way through their careers, I think. But they're still way overexposed and overhyped. And there needs to be a stipulation that Martin Scorsese isn't allowed to get within 100' of "Gimme Shelter" or any other Stones song ever again.

Fanfie...Thank you for saying that about Scorsese. I never got him either.
Okay, I have friends that would kill me for this one. Woody Allen.
I have never been able to watch any of his movies all the way through...and just do not see what the hype is all about. This has nothing to do with his personal life either...I felt this way long before he got all freaky with his...whatever the hell she was.
...and do not get me started on Spike Lee.

I like him better when he's not making the same movie over and over again with only minor alterations.
So I think The Departed was a total waste of time. The fact that he used "Gimme Shelter" again was the next best thing to him just interrupting the film to announce, Yeah, it's all phoned in but I really do want an Oscar, okay?

Dev, my parents are big Woody Allen fans, so I grew up reading his writings and watching his movies. I actually think most of the movies up to "Annie Hall" hold up pretty well, but then he got really self-important and contemptous of the mass audience AND his creepier side started to taint both his work and his private life. As for Spike Lee, he was self-important from the very start, and seems to have really barbaric views on sexuality.
Sure, a few *moments* of brilliance...not entire films mind you...(save perhaps Spartacus)....but c'mon. What's with the genius rep? Seriously.

I consider "The Shining" to be perhaps the most overrated horror movie of all time, with one of Jack Nicholson's most self-indulgent performances (and that's saying a lot.) I couldn't get past the first half-hour or so of "Full Metal Jacket" because it was so ridiculously over-the-top and cliched. I've avoided "2001" because my mother saw it on the big screen during its original run, and says she felt ripped off.
