I liked Django, Inglorious Basterds, Kill Bill, Jackie Brown. Pulp Fiction just did nothing for me
Oh, this is a truly flammable one--I have never seen a Quentin Tarantino film. They have never appealed to me at all.
I don't think that's flammable. If QT doesn't appeal to you, you will hate any of them you watch. There's really no way to get around that.
Well except Four Rooms but that's because it's not standard QT or Robert Rodriquez fare. It's a comedy.
Oooh, I have one! I don't know Wes Anderson movies. Like I know of them in general but until I watched The Grand Budapest Hotel the other night, I hadn't seen any of them. I'm working on rectifying this but fucking streaming services don't want me to.
I haven't seen any of the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit movies. I read the books when I was a kid, but that was a long, long time ago.
I never watched the Bachelor or Bachelorette, Keeping up with the Kadashians or any Housewives shows.
Mind you, I can't get too holier than thou, because I've seen most episodes of Swamp People or Pawn Stars. I just don't have any patience for divas behaving badly for the benefit of the camera.
Oh, and Harry Potter? I tried, I really did. I remember when all my adult friends started reading this kids book and telling me it was good. But to me, it read too much like a kids book. I read a couple and gave up. I figured the movies would be better, but it was the same story. It's weird because I do get why people like HP; it just doesn't hold my attention.
Outside of the James earl jones thing....I had someone tell me they jad never seen The Wire. Or knew who Omar was? Whaaaaaaaa? And Buffy? How can you know see Buffy?
I've seen HP but have no interest in reading them. If lt wants to when he's older I will, but eh.
I did not know about Chuck berrys perviness. I do know he got Johnny good from Marty MxFly, though. Bam
Kids in the Hall, Freaks and Geeks, most popular music now. I don't do much driving, so I never hear the radio, which would be my only exposure.
I can't with Kids in the Hall, Strangers with Candy, Absolutely Fabulous, the Tim and Eric Awesome show. All of these are just beyond fucking stupid to me. Like no. Brain cells lost. BRAIN CELLS LOST!
I don't do Space Ghost either.
But I can do small amounts of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and large amounts of Reno 911.
oh! I cannot name or sing a single Lil Wayne song or a hook from anything that's he's participated in at least I don't think I can. I also don't know any Selena Gomez songs that I am aware of and the only Beiber song I am familiar with is Baby Baby or whatever that is. And you can blame The Cleveland Show for that one.
I don't know Disney teenybopper shit until they roll over and hit the celebrity gossip blogger set.

That's on HBO or something you have to pay for, isn't it?

Mine is more along the reality tv genre. Real Housewives of whatever, Honey Boo Boo, Bearded Swamp Guys who Hate Gays (something like that?), Kardashians, etc etc. Even the entertainment ones like The Voice, American Idol, Celebrities who Dance (?)... not into it.
I watched one season of The Bachelor(ette) because I knew someone on it. And I used to like America's Next Top Model. Other than that... no clue.

Insert gif of me having a seizure
In all seriousness I feel like Tarantino you're into or not. I love basically everything that creepy fuck has done, but I can see why his work isn't everyone's cup of tea.
OH! I never read The Hobbit. This made my ex-husband sad. But I knew what it was.
They make excellent fucking movies, thank you Peter Jackson because really, I tried to read those books and I felt my brain leaking out through my earholes. Not everything of significance needs to be fully ingested to understand the significance.
I also hate The Lion, The Witch, and the fucking Wardrobe. GO THE HELL AWAY. And reading A Wrinkle in time was a trial.
I like my sci-fi/fantasy on a screen.
oh, I was so into The Chronicles of Narnia when I was in 5th grade. I read it and re-read it and re-read it. I even bought a new set as an adult, but it didn't hold up for me when I tried reading it again.
a lot of people must not have seen strangers with candy b/c i cant understand how anyone can see bounty unstoppables and not think of jerri
I fucking LOVE Amy Sedaris. And David Sedaris but that's another topic for another day.
I have none interest in HP. At all. Nor do I care for Twilight.
I'm one of those people who hasn't always seen everything but I still know what happens. Like, I've never seen HP but I know what's up. That's need-to-know information so I can have a conversation about it if necessary.
All I know about The Walking Dead is that Carl is always missing. Fucking Carl, man.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

We all know Grindhouse was shit. It's okay to admit it.
Also, I love what Rob Zombie does and what Robert Rodriquez does that isn't for children. (Seriously, Robert, you fucking owe me for Shark Boy and Lava Girl, you fucking asshole.)

I haven't seen a single minute of TWD after the second season and I still know. I also didn't make it to Pete Campbell's wedding and I know all about Mad Men.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who knows things.
But really, it's fucking Lori who is the problem. WATCH YOUR DAMNED KID, YO!
I need to see The Wire, but I haven't yet. I don't care to see Buffy. I don't actually like much Joss Whedon, which is really bad for my nerd cred. I could not get through much of Firefly.
I don't like Buffy and I just really can't get into Firefly. Lord knows I have tried. The rest of my nerd cred holds pretty steady with the very large exception of pre Avengers Whedon. Why does it seem I like his female characters in theory but not practice?
Also I am unreasonably disgusted by the premise of the Bachelor/Bachelorette. Like a contestant has an ex and this is shocking news that they loved them and it makes them less desirable but it's totally cool for the main girl or guy to conduct themself like a ten cent floozy and if a contestant gets upset they are too jealous and obviously bad. The whole thing pisses me off.
here this one is a great example: 36 "Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!"[12] "Gold Hat" Alfonso Bedoya The Treasure of the Sierra Madre 1948
"we dont need no stinkin badges!!" said in an episode of Salute Your Shorts a young majorwife saw back in the day.

My childhood is basically my dad quoting blazing saddles. I didn't see the movie until I was in my teens and knew practically every line.

It honestly bums me out when people admit they've never read HP and have no interest in ever righting this terrible, terrible wrong. It makes me want to give you hair pets and a soft kitty to cuddle while I tie you to a chair to HEAR THE MAGIC that will make your life infinitely better. It's MAGIC, people. MAGIC!
That being said, I've never seen The Princess Bride.
