Didn't the Lupus thing die like 3-4 seasons ago?
Just like every other stupid meme, though, people will be quoting it forever. |

 I Disagree. Another controversial opinion: I really liked TRON: Legacy. |

I was shocked with how 'computer stuff' was handled in Tron: Legacy. Never would have expected to see actual Unix commands in a Hollywood action movie about killing stuff in virtual reality, even if some of them were misused.
But the movie itself was pretty mediocre.

I thought it was okay. I don't hate it as much as some people do but I didn't think it was great either.
It's miles better than the first one anyway. Tron vanilla is absolutely awful though so that wasn't hard.

I have to agree about House. It started off pretty well though - the first season episodes are snappily written and moving in all the right places. It wasn't long before the show started substituting cynical one-liners and sensationalism for actual character development, though, and that pretty much killed it.

House is a show that consists mostly of medical mumbo jumbo that makes their viewers feel smarter when they watch it.
Isn't that at least an element in almost all medical TV shows? It's used in other types of shows as well. CSI does it (and much more than House) and Numb3rs is downright repugnant in its exploitation of it. |

I watched the first season and my friends keep trying to get me to catch up but I'm not sure now you guys have said all that.

Season one and two pretty much consist of Hugh Laurie cracking snarky one-liners and being a douche and everyone else being outraged by bis behavior. Around Season 3, they started toning down the comedic aspects of the show and focused more and more on plots and character "development." It's pretty much devolved into a soap opera now.

Unpopular opinion of mine: I don't actually like douchebags, at all, and watching somebody be a douchebag on TV makes me unhappy.

imo both tron movies are masterpieces. the writing isn't stellar in either but the acting ranges from good to great and the concept, theme, and visual style are taken so far that it makes them both really fun, unique movies to watch.

Depends on how the douchebaggery is presented. When it's played for laughs or at least in a tongue-in-cheek, I generally like it. It becomes problematic when the character isn't meant to be viewed as a douchebag but still comes off as one. For instance, Horatio Caine is a douche of epic proportions, but the audience is meant to identify with him and see him as a morally flawless "knight in shiny armor" type of character. |

I hate people who don't capitalize in forum posts, they're all douchebags or some variation thereof, like fuckfaces who google quotes. |

Why you gotta be a passive-aggressive douchebag about it? edit: My opinion really is uncommon, I can't even enjoy tongue-in-cheek douchebaggage because all I see there is... a douchebag  |

also, i hate people who call others 'pretentious' -- they're the only pretentious ones
