Why do we hate music we hate?

That's just Milo Ventimiglia's face.

I didn't care for the Lobster either, so perhaps I just don't like satirical films with serious facades.

I don't know what Lobster is, but I don't think Snowpiercer has a serious facade. It's a pretty humorous movie. Bong Joon Ho is a lot like Terry Gilliam in that he tends to make funny absurdist films that also have some darkness running through them. I guess that's just something that really appeals to me. That's also what I like about Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Jean-Claude Lauzon.

as for himym wasn't ted a pretty horrible character throughout the show too? like he was always portrayed as this "love searching nice guy" but most of his actions with girls were self indulging or just plain shitty. his sad puppy shtick only really applied to his robin obsession, but everyone else it as like "kids, im not proud of this moment.."

also, I want to hear about Walter Mitty

The Lobster was the second movie by the director of Dogtooth and you should watch it Janzface.

I heard good things about Dogtooth, but I haven't seen that either.

I don't have too much to say about Mitty apart from that it was beautifully directed, but completely soulless.

Yeah, perhaps the thread title should be "why do we keep telling people their music sucks if we don't like it?" I know there are plenty of good reasons to hate certain music, or that we think there are anyway; I just don't get why people have to constantly tell people who like that music that their music is ****. I mean, to use Ped's example above, sure, you may hate those shows but I can guarantee you don't go fuming at people on TV forums about how they shouldn't watch them, do you? Do you?

But mention a band 99% of people hate here that you happen to like (let's use Coldplay rather than the more obvious ones you all expect) and it's a full on ragefest, snarkfest or snootfest. Maybe something else ending in fest. And I don't quite understand why. So you don't like the band, and I do (maybe). So what? Why keep telling me they suck and that I, by extension, suck by liking or at least listening to them? And I don't just mean me: I don't give a **** what people think of my music taste. But this happens to other people too.

Kudos to Batty by the way for trying to turn this into the "Why don't you like beans?" thread. As it happens, I do like beans. But not peas. **** peas.

Oh, and yes, eternal thanks to GD for pulling up that Urban thread: I'm reading through it as I go and it's bloody hilarious.

I miss that guy.

I mean, no I don't go around telling people they shouldn't watch stuff but... I also don't do that with music? Point is, my opinion on music is not special or different from my opinion on anything else, and I don't treat it as such as the discussion asserts people do.
