Confessions

[Velaryon]

I used to find the Cory in the House anime joke funny

I also try to be funny on this forum, but end up either looking like I'm insane or just a complete idiot.

For what it's worth, funny and insane are not mutually exclusive.

I dislike cloudy, rainy days turning sunny and clear.
Sure, if there's a good personal reason for sunny weather I'm relieved (like me being outside a lot) but other than that the sun is just unwelcome and bothersome.
Waking up to a sunny day after rain is fine.

I always forget to buy the cheese... even when it's on my shopping list.

What's the name of that movie?
The ones with the robots pretending to be human?

Oh right, blade runner.
I hate that movie. It's by far the worst movie I've ever seen. My friends think it brilliant, but it's just bad. Badly written, badly acted, the dialogue is a jumbled mess along with the plot. it just bores me to tears.

Every time they get in the mood to watch it, I take some headache medicine that cause drowsiness so I can pass out and not watch it.

But dark city is brilliant.

I actually hate Jamba Juice. Their drinks are WAY too sweet and sugary for my taste.

I confess that before your post, I had never heard of Jamba Juice. I had to google it.

I hate being around kids. And pretty much everything about them. Note that I don't necessarily hate the kids themselves- I acknowledge that they can't help being kids- but I despise being around them and/or having anything at all to do with them. I cannot imagine a single situation that would be improved by adding kids, or one that would NOT be improved by removing them. And I don't just mean bratty, annoying kids, I include polite and well-behaved children in this statement as well.

I am also one of about three people I have ever met who do not automagically find (human) babies cute. I have never seen a cute larval human in my life. Baby animals, on the other hand...

You are not alone. I agree 100%.

To be fair, there are several versions of Blade Runner, and some of them are much better than others, so it might be that you've been exposed to one of the worse ones. Particularly when it comes to dialogue and plot coherence, the cuts make a big difference.

That said, it sounds like it might not be for you at all. I have to confess that I do find the film slow and a little dull in places (more of a problem when watching alone at home than it would be in the cinema, I think). It's not a film I'd pick to watch at a party or social gathering, I think. But I also can't deny its quality as a piece of cinematic art.

Some more than others. There's at least one version where an absolutely critical scene is cut completely due to studio executive whining, and it destroys the movie. It's like filming Lord of the Rings, then going through and cutting every scene which features the ring as something more than an ornament, including the climax. Is there still technically a movie there? Sure. Do things still happen? Sure. Is it going to make any sense whatsoever? Not so much.

[Velaryon]

On the subject of movies that a lot of people consider classics but I absolutely hate: The Shining. I feel like I'm in pretty good company though, Stephen King hates it too.

Oh, and Fargo. I'd rather have a finger amputated than have to watch that again.

Between that and Burn After Reading, I figure I'm not and never will be a fan of anything labeled as "a black comedy". I have a pretty dark sense of humor, but apparently I have a wildly differing view of what constitutes dark comedy than the people who coined that phrase.

[MagmaCam]

lol very interesting confessions!!

[sktarq]

The only comic books (with story) that I've liked were either about Wombat with an interest in engineering and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac

I always thought Burn After Reading was a "screwball comedy", albeit one that turns fairly dark.

But then I like my comedy like I like my coffee.

Me too - stale, tasteless, and soaking in cheese.

Ever thought of becoming a paladin?

Anyways...

Almost every time I make a joke on forum, it seems to me like it was written by an insane man or a 7 year old.

Bitter, dark, scathing and irritating?

Practice makes...well, in light of experience, I'd have to say that many kinds of practice just make more of the same. Hmm.

No. But that for the thought.

The hypocritical and hypercritical are combining to make a parody.

I am terrified of cicadas. They're like little Stinger missiles combined with the most evil creatures on planet earth.

During my childhood, I don't like going to the doctors. also I love going to school.

[8BitNinja]

I love going to school.

This is actually quite normal.

[goto124]

also I love going to school.

This is actually quite normal.

Depends on country, type of school, and the people there...

[Winter_Wolf]

This is actually quite normal.

Normal for who, though? I'm fairly smart, got mostly A and B grades, and found school mind numbingly boring. Wasn't just taking "easy classes" either. Most of my teachers were at least capable of not great.

I'm saying that, as mankind as a whole, liking education is not uncommon.

[Winter_Wolf]

I'm saying that, as mankind as a whole, liking education is not uncommon.

I'm down with education, I think it's really important. I'm saying school isn't great. It was tolerable when I was a student, but having seen what my offspring are in for, I'd homeschool them if I could stand to, and have them do extracurricular activities for social. Which one can do where I live, but it's a hassle because of accountability boards and paying tuition/participation fees on top of local taxes.

School hereabouts seems like glorified babysitting a lot of the time. And it's not often the teachers' fault, they have bosses who direct the narrative and it's go along or go find another job. (My cousin is a teacher in this state so I get to hear both sides; highly educational. )

It took me until I was 10 to learn my multiplication tables

I couldn't tie my shoes until I was sixteen. I still prefer Velcro, zippers, and slip-ons.
