Stuff you are supposed to hate but actually love.

Attending golf tournaments, as opposed to watching on TV ie you are supposed to prefer TV and not lime being there but the opposite is true

A few movies / TV shows:Waterworld - nowhere near as bad as the critics said
Falling Down - loved it
Party Animals - got canned after one series but was excellent

Off the Rails - not just because of Caroline but despite the awfulness of the subject matter, the guys did a nice job

RTE sport coverage - if they do it right, they are excellent. They frequently don't, but in fairness, top class when they get it right

Don't see why they would be hated. Great band.

They're just a bit annoying.

Good call on Waterworld - better than said, I think it was about the money to be honest. That and the Costner Factor

As for Falling Down - who in their right mind would be saying it was rubbish. Send them to me!

great?

**SkStu** · 10/07/2009, 5:05 AM

that we write three times more about the stuff we actually hate than the stuff we actually love.

Good work.

Saying you like stuff means you're gay.

**Bluebeard** · 10/07/2009, 7:22 AM

I hate the fact that saying you like stuff is gay...

**Dodge** · 10/07/2009, 7:59 AM

I'm supposed to hate the fact that saying you like stuff is gay, but I love it!

I believe it's actually in profit now.

This is getting a bit silly now.
Who says you're supposed to hate going to golf events?
Or watching athletics?
And where did Falling Down come from? Great film! It has Robert Duvall in it! And he might not be the greatest actor who ever pulled on a shirt, but Michael Douglas is excellent in it too.

I hate the way people put things in here that they don't like, and then try and claim everyone is supposed to hate them too.

Or do I? You know, when I really think about it, it's not so bad, maybe, yeah why not....

Good point - but within the small section of the golf world that I inhabit, the vast bulk of people whisper conspiratorially that "it is much better watching on tv - you see more".

But that aside, point noted - this is supposed to be for stuff that officialdom think is rubbish but actually isn't.

So, noting the potential contradiction:

Going places by yourself

More of a personal rule, but I tend to hate ads with celebrities hawking some product. The recent Halifax ads with Colm Meaney, however, I quite like.
