When I tell people I’ve never seen the Lion King they are really baffled by that.

Game of Thrones.
Read the books and got maybe to the 5th book? 6th? And gave up. It stopped going anywhere, the politics went away, it was just people going from A to B and getting killed somewhere along the way. Just like the show, they lost direction and floundered, Martin couldn’t finish it off.
So I never bothered to watch it. Never will.
Probably the fifth since GRRM has not yet published book six (TWoW) or 7 (ADoS), unless you count the spinoff books and/or the history book (A World of Ice and Fire).
I agree that the books fizzled out, but that’s kinda the only interpretation possible since we haven’t gotten 6 & 7. Theoretically the whole story has been building to those books (7 most of all based on how the show presented their likely events), but 5 (A Dance w Dragons) was definitely a chore to get through. That whole book felt like filler imo
I’ve never seen the show or gotten past the first couple pages of the first book so we’re in a similar boat
Me too
Many of them, but one show that people sometimes nag me about is “Friends”. Not going to watch it either, doesn’t seem even remotely worth my time.

It’s funnier than Big Bang Theory, well Pheobe is.
Getting kicked in the balls is funnier than the Big Bang Theory.

Most of them?
I mean, these things are grossing hundreds of millions, and I haven’t been to the movies in almost a decade, don’t have TV, and seldom stream anything like TV or movies.
My video habits have gotten much more personal over the years. I’ll watch specific adaptations, and specific YouTubers, but that’s about it. For my brain-mush time, I generally play videogames and listen to audiobooks.
The Godfather. It just never happened.
Also, small promotion for !moviesandtv@lemm.ee for people who might be interested
I tried watching that awhile ago and found it hard to get into because I’ve seen it parodied and ripped off so many times in other shows/movies that it’s hard to take the original seriously anymore.
The tregidy of timeless classics
Same. I know all the references, jokes, and memes around it, but I’ve never watched the actual movie.
Check out Once Upon A time in America. The full length version
It’s on my bucket list!
I know nothing — why?
Game of thrones and ill be sure to keep it that way
I haven’t seen any super hero movie since the first spiderman with Tobey Maguire.
Well, no serious one. I’ve watched Deadpool and Kickass.
I bet you’d like The Boys if you like stuff like Kickass. It’s a show that takes the piss out of the concept of superheros but at the same time takes the concept very seriously and has some fantastic character-driven stories.
The Boys is amazing. You’ll know if you like it within the first 5 minutes I guarantee it.
While I know what you mean, I think for some it could take a bit longer for them to know if they like it. You’ll know if you like the gratuitous violence very quickly, but the first episode spends a lot of time laying down the show’s delightfully cynical worldview. I knew by the end of the first episode I liked the show, but I wouldn’t say I knew within the first 5 minutes.
Not exactly spoiler material as it happens in the first 5 mins of the series but when A-Train runs through Hughie’s girlfriend in a mist of red while Hughie is still holding her hands/forearms… I was like… DDDAAAAMMMNNN. This is awesome. From there it just got better.
I watched the first season but couldn’t bring myself to watch the second. I just got the ick too much from it to have any enthusiasm to finish it
Breaking Bad. I tried it and it’s just… too much.
🫨
It is a lot, but it’s rated high because it’s amazing. You could start with better call Saul, little slower and still as amazing.
I finished it. It was just OK for me.
Better call Saul (BcS) is better. Some parts may be boring but BcS made me think. Impressive writing.
The Sopranos
This one. Not sure if I should watch it.
Watch the wire instead. Again if need be.
Movie - Titanic. It has simply never appealed.
TV - any popular reality show. They are just not my thing.
I saw Titanic 4 times in the theatre I liked it that much. It was so well done I recall wondering if the ship was going to sink when it hit the iceberg.
I’m in the same boat as you for Titanic. That movie was so everywhere during it’s time & I just never felt the need to watch it. I feel like the modern equivalent would be someone not watching any of the marvel movies.
The Wire, The Office, Parks and Rec, The Expanse.
strongly recommend watching the Wire. its in a different league to the other three.
Breaking Bad, Parks and Rec, Harry Potter Movies, Twilight Movies, 50 Shades Movies, Arrested Development, and roughly 90% of everything Tarantino has made with the exception of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction (The guy’s a douche whose entire oeuvre is two-plus hours of patting himself on the back for how film history literate he is)
Breaking Bad was amazing. Arrested Development was funny as heck, great cast. Parks and Rec season 1 was meh, got wayyy better after the first season. Also you should try and watch Kill Bill 1+2, they were really good and over the top as heck. Also Django Unchained and Inglorious Bastards were really great too.
The Wire. Although I’d really like to get around to it one day.
Just finished it last week. Season 1 was decent, 2 and 3 I was really wondering why everyone had talked up the show so much, but season 4 is where I felt it got real. Quality TV, I do recommend, but I do think it’s a bit overhyped.
I work in logistics and transportation so I always enjoyed season 2. Especially what McNulty does in episode 1.
It is an eye opening show in that you can see how each part of crime affects the community. Local political corruption, media corporatization, defunded inner city schools, international sex and drug trade, they all lead to the way society works for the rich and fuck everyone else raw.
Friends, Big Bang Theory. Let There Be Blood. Which is odd because I like sitcoms and dramatic movies but sometimes it feels like the time has passed and all of the like memes and expectations surrounding a certain thing make for an insurmountable amount of initialization energy.
Big bang theory is absolute garbage, don’t waste your time.
Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Office, Parks and Rec
I don’t have anything against them, I’m sure they’re all fine, I’ve just never had to interest in watching them.
Star Wars
