Get on it if you can find the time, both very worth it.

Yep, I thought the entire series was Friends 2.0 but less funny. Protagonist Ted ended up rather two-dimensional (dimension #1, in love; dimension #2 not in love). And that married couple (Mitchell and wife) alternated between toe-curlingly cute and extremely tedious.

I ended up watching more How I Met... than I wanted to in order to please a friend, and for me that's an essential ingredient in hating music too; hearing it more often than you want to. In that spirit, I invite you to enjoy the following, which I hear about four times a day:-

No, you don't.
Let's use our friend Ki as an example. Hands up anyone who has laughed at or ridiculed his music taste (my own hand is up, don't worry)?

Dogtooth, is simply put, one of the most unique, weird, messed up, sit at the edge of whatever you're sitting on with your eyes wide and mouth agape, movies I've seen. It's pretty much impossible to summarize the plot since it's about 100 miles further out than left field.

Spoiler for Spoiler:
For what it's worth, when the son plays classical guitar while the daughters dance, he's not faking it. Dude has chops. And I'll never be able to look at Listerine or VHS tapes the same way ever again.


I actually really liked 10 Cloverfield Lane. Haven't seen Snowpiecer yet but it's in my queu.

Still a nah. I have no illusions that my opinion should extend to others beyond stating it and seeing what they think of it.

No, because I don't really like any of the sports teams where I'm from. I will watch a Giants or Jets game every once in awhile but mostly to laugh at them.

I don't even know if I got through half of season 3.
The writer's strike screwed up Heroes. Season 2 and 3 were okay in my books but season 4 they just dropped the ball but that's the main reason why though. It was unfortunate that they got caught up in it. I missed the whole revival of Heroes one season one off. I wonder how good that one turned out. I vaguely remember one of the newer characters having this ability to turn into a VR character in a video game.

Yeah, like, 2 notes. Or maybe 3. And they aren't really "sung."

What was wrong with Ki's taste in musi? I have not found his musical taste laughable. But then again I don't know too much about it. So what am I missing here?

Or 20k. Melody goes beyond vocals you know. And rapped vocals can melodic too.
