I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
I won’t watch SNATCH because people wouldn’t shut the fuck about it for like 10 years. It may be great, I wouldn’t know because I won’t watch it.
I do this same thing. It’s there a name for it? Peer defiance?
I think it’s just called you guys being contrarian
You could say this if I behaved that way with every recommendation, but it is how something is recommended that is the issue here. Context is key.
Demand avoidance is a thing, I specifically hate it when people are all “BRO, how have you not seen this, it’s the shit. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE MISSING!” So I just stay away as a fuck you I guess.
I find the people who do the whole “how have you not seen […]” Have not matured enough too have the awareness that other people have different life experiences. Lack of empathy.
Me too, when people recommend me tv shows.
On paper they’re series that I would like, but the recommendations years old and I still haven’t watched them.
Most of his other films are better, check them out and then watch Snatch if you still haven’t.
Things are popular for reasons and being cynical about it and prejudging something based only on its popularity is limiting your exposure to the world.
Its better to have an informed opinion then a cynical ignorance.
The notion that missing a single guy Ritchie flick is limiting my exposure to the world is laughable. I’m gonna add another 10 years on now.
