When I tell people I’ve never seen the Lion King they are really baffled by that.
Harry Potter movie series and Lord Of The Rings movie series. Never seen any of them.
TV: Seinfeld, Breaking Bad, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Friends, NCIS, CSI, American Idol, The Voice, Survivor
Movies: the Avengers movies, Top Gun (old or new), Deadpool movies
These are just the ones I can remember people surprised about
i’ve also never seen the lion king, or the jungle book, the little mermaid–but popular media being what it is, i have still absorbed numerous songs from them.
i have also never watched any star wars movies other than the original three movies (during their initial theatrical runs, and never again since), and only a few of the marvel and dc movies.
Game of Thrones. I once started episode 1 but then had to interrupt and go somewhere and found it too boring to give it another try at first. Then the entire internet was full with with GoT and spoilers for it so I was too annoyed to try it again
GoT because I’d read the first two books and got bored of a medieval soap opera where the writer substitutes misery porn for a plot.
Breaking Bad because Bryan Cranston vaguely irritates me (I don’t know why, I’m sure he’s a lovely man).
Zombie related stuff because seriously, it was non-stop shit zombie movies for almost a decade and I’m bored of it. It’s just become another lazy trope. Exception: Zombieland.
Breaking Bad because Bryan Cranston vaguely irritates me (I don’t know why, I’m sure he’s a lovely man).
It is honestly refreshing to see this kind of honesty including not knowing why.
Everything I’ve seen and heard indicates that he is in fact a wonderful person. But I’m not going to argue with you, because I have such an intense hatred for Hugh Grant and Richard Gere. And I don’t have a rational explanation as to why.
Most of the “current” ones because I have not really watched TV for years. I see a lot of stuff on social media about them which is the only way I know that they exist.
Friends and the office.
The Office. Arrested Development. Parks and Recreation. Breaking Bad. Game of Thrones.
The Wire, The Office, Parks and Rec, The Expanse.
strongly recommend watching the Wire. its in a different league to the other three.
One of my favorites, but I will concede that it’s not for everyone. Those I’ve met that don’t like it usually complains that the pacing is slow and the plot is too convoluted and vague.
I was one of those. when I finally went back it was because I had grown and realized that stories which take their time usually pay off. also idk how people are getting convoluted and vague, the plot is tight (in all senses of the word).
In a rewatch right now. Rhetorically only but:
- why was the cop at a gay bar?
- why are Prez and 8th graders running the season I’m in now
- why did Dee’s mom let McNulty just keeeeeeep going in that convo at the police station
- I get the poetic justice when a couple of people turn on each other without the other knowing toward the end of season 3 but those characters are likely to have never done that, let alone both find out about the other’s betrayal
- Kima and Broadus are gold
I want a The Wire x Star Wars crossover where Bubbles and R2-D2 are the protagonists in a buddy cop flick.
Movie - Titanic. It has simply never appealed.
TV - any popular reality show. They are just not my thing.
I saw Titanic 4 times in the theatre I liked it that much. It was so well done I recall wondering if the ship was going to sink when it hit the iceberg.
I’m in the same boat as you for Titanic. That movie was so everywhere during it’s time & I just never felt the need to watch it. I feel like the modern equivalent would be someone not watching any of the marvel movies.
I hate to admit it because there’s no real reason but I have never seen The Godfather. I’ve gone almost 50 years and still haven’t sat down to watch it, or the sequels. I want to I just keep forgetting to.
Latest one is Dune. I’ve read the book (rereading it now actually) and seen all the other versions, but for some reason I’m holding off on this movie, I guess until at least the next one comes out.
if you liked the book watch Denis Villeneuve’s movie. even if the second movie blows (which I highly doubt) the first one is incredible. go watch Sicario as well. and Prisoners. Villeneuve does not miss.
The Lion King. Beauty and the Beast. Frozen.
I have never seen the Truman show (only the movie about it)
Took me a second.
I realized have never seen a single episode of 24.
