It's exactly what it says on the tin.
So...to start with me.
IlikeGungansinStarWars. There I said it.
Now, I was...six years old when Phantom Menace was released, so, of course, I liked Jar Jar. Heck, I made "spaceships" in the garage with giant cardboard boxes and chalk and pretended to go meet him XD . I see the annoyingness now but...holy cow, when I was eleven I had the most atrocious Mary Sue thrown at him. Urrgh, and was she ever D: ! Someone get me the brain bleach!
But even that means a lot to me, really. The six/eleven year old in me just won't let him go. When I was in fifth grade, my boyfriend (before he was my boyfriend) gave me HIS Jar Jar plushy because he knew he was my favorite character, for cryin' out loud...and I still have it =3 .
I think I like Captain Tarpals better now that I'm older...that mustache is amazing...He makes me wonder what would have happened if he was in Jar Jar's place. Maybe exiled for helping "outsiders" or something like that...he might have added a smidge more dignity, but I'm not sure. Or just Captain Tarpals.
My favorite part of that whole movie was when the Gungan Army was coming out of the fog. That was pretty epic, IMO. That really caught the true awesomeness for me.
"Primatives? B*tch, please."
Now, they still need work, and I think that had Jar Jar been more on Tarpals' level, he might not have made the whole group look so awful XD .
They could have been the pre-Wookie bad@$$ warriors. In fact, a 1,500-years-later fanplot that my brother and I have features the "action girl" as a Gungan named Artak. But more on her somewhere else.
So, enough about that...what about you?
And please do not fit the cone of shame on me. I am wearing it as a crown and with pride.
-
Everyone hated that movie. Even a lot of movie critics hated that movie. I thought it was okay not great.
-
Brendan Fraser. I think the guy is a great actor, but good luck getting anyone else in the known universe to say anything remotely good about him.
-
I like Robin Williams. He is a very funny comedian and a good actor.
-
I loved everything about the game "Doom 3" and found it to be frightening. I still play it every once in a while.
-
Godzilla movies.
I freaking love Godzilla films. The old Showa films, the middle Heisei films, the Millennium films, everything but the godawful American remake (It was very satisfying to see THAT version of Godzila killed in ten seconds flat by the real Godzilla in Final Wars).
And yet I have never met someone who also likes them like I do. I don't gush over them or anything, I know they have their little quirky things to make fun of. But is it so hard to sit through it and be quiet about it?! You got giant monsters blowin stuff up; don't enjoy it? don't watch it.

I have all the movies (including the widely panned American remake) on DVD or VHS. I've watched Godzilla since I was 5. And as a kid, I liked the American remake, mostly because I thought he was a dinosaur and dinosaurs were awesome at that time in my life. I still do like the movie. Which is something I like that everyone hates.
-
I hated the 1998 Godzilla Movie. That was a horrible movie. But I heard they making a brand new one. I hope it way better the the 1998 version. I still like the classic 50's and 60's Godzilla movies and shows tho. Those where good.
-
^ Please stop calling movies you simply don't like "horrible" and "terrible." You called Blade Hunter terrible just out of no taste for it.

I like the american version of Godzilla, Gino/Zilla. I regard his design and look to be better than the japanese Godzilla. Gino/Zilla looked much more agile by comparison to the tail-dragging Godzilla, and I like his more dinosaurian appearance.
While I don't hate the japanese version of Godzilla, I do like the american version a lot more. I do enjoy the cartoon that came out, Godzilla The Series.
It was very satisfying to see THAT version of Godzila killed in ten seconds flat by the real Godzilla in Final Wars
I despised that part. It was unnecessary. Besides, they should have went with Zilla Jr, who is a much more capable fighter than the parent in the movie (for instance, he doesn't run away from fights, plus he has the fire breath). While I never expected Zilla to win, I felt he should have had a longer fight scene with Godzilla.
Far as I'm concerned, the fight in Final Wars was a real disappointment and was nothing more than a hate scene, bashing on Zilla, rather than a true fight. I mean, the other fights generally lasted a lot longer, so it was completely unfair to have Zilla vs Godzilla last just a couple seconds.
-
I mean some of them where okay not great.
-
Alpha & Omega, Secret of NIMH 2 and The Fox and the Hound 2.
-
I like cod liver oil. I also prefer the american version of Godzilla to its Japanese counterparts.

Don't know you any more Daddy. Nah I'm kidding. It's okay if you liked those sequels but I hated them.

That was Zilla Jr. in Final Wars. That scene was Toho's reaction to the American remake. To be honest, they should have extended that fight scene. Zilla Jr. was perfectly capable of putting up a good fight against Godzilla.
-
That was a different Zilla Jr I believe. Zilla Jr in the animated series was more powerful, plus it is believable that more offspring did survive from the movie. So I think it's more likely that it was a different Zilla Jr, not the same one from the tv series.
If it were the same one from the tv series, it would have stood up against Godzilla much longer, as Zilla Jr is a seasoned fighter and took on many different monsters, from the land, air, and sea. It wouldn't have been so easily toppled over in the first few seconds of a fight.
That's why I feel it's more likely to be a different Zilla Jr, one that has much less experience fighting, and may not have fought against another monster. That would explain why it would lose so fast to Godzilla, inexperience and all.
I still think the fight should have been longer, though. The fight still felt too much like a bashing scene rather than a fight scene. The whole thing was pointless, really.

Toho took into the fact that the American remake was supposed to have a sequel where Nick would find the only surviving Zilla offspring, nurse it, and release it (doesn't sound like a good sequel) where it would then end up in Australia. Which is the reason for Zilla Jr.'s appearance in Australia in Final Wars. It was stated that Zilla seen in Final Wars was from both the movie and TV series. Which confuses me further. One would assume it was Zilla Jr. seeing as he was the only surviving offspring and his parent died in the movie.
-
Almost forgot to add this part in my last post, I don't care if Zilla Jr was killed by Godzilla in Final Wars. I expected that to happen. There was no doubt that it would have happened. What angered me was how short the fight was. It was wasteful, and it's just not worth watching because of how short it is. A better length of time would have been at least a minute, as it would still have been short enough to show Godzilla's the stronger monster, but also long enough to show that Zilla Jr still has some fight in it.
On DA somewhere, someone is doing a Kaiju Monster series, and did some designs of the monsters. I like their interpretation of Zilla Jr's death much more. In their story, Zilla Jr dies saving Godzilla from a blast from another monster. I forget who was doing the series, though, unfortunately. I don't remember all the details, but I do recall Zilla Jr is killed, but through sacrificial methods, not through hate.
Personally, I like it more when Zilla and Godzilla get along (at least enough to not fight) than to see them duke it out.

This will sound bizarre.
I like Blood Pudding. It's a swedish dish so I doubt many of you have tried it.
It's made of pig blood. (Lots of iron.)
I find it tasty (especially with bacon or fried potato), but I know many does not.
When Patrick (Nimrod) was visiting me for the first time, I offered him some.
He did not accept that offer. :P:
-
I don't blame him on that. Neither would I.
I just saw the new Winnie The Pooh Movie. And I liked it a lot actually. It wasn't the best but it was good.

The Virtual Boy

I had some made with goats blood before. It's not as bad as it sounds.
I like eating raw eggs. I know I run the risk of salmonella, but I prefer my eggs raw.

I like the movie "The Legend of the Titanic". Everyone on the GOF hates this movie - except me (and my friends. I watched this movie with my friends when I was younger, and they also liked that movie, so I don't see why this movie is so hated. Of course it is not the true story of the Titanic and it is quite unrealistic, but it is not supposed to be the true story of the Titanic.).
Heck, I even drew fan comics of this movie when I was young. I would really like to watch the German version of this movie again.
However, I've never seen the sequel to this movie (maybe because that movie was never released in Germany).
-
I heard some people do like eating raw eggs. I can't remember why though. I think there is some kind of health benefit.

It's also a cultural custom in some parts of the world.
As for things I like that everybody hates... Well, one food I like that other westerners seem to hate is natto. They're stringy fermented soybeans you normally put on rice. Sure, I like sushi and ramen. But there's a certain feeling of awesomeness when I can eat a tasteless food that looks like snot without batting an eyelash and everyone around me wrinkles their noses. :lol

Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. Probably one of the most glitched games ever to be released. But I looked past that and found the game to be fun and the storyline good. A bit confusing at times, but still good.
-
Dino Squad. It's not that well known of a show and lasted only two seasons (which were all that were ordered), and it doesn't garner many ratings. Some are positive, but not much. The score is really low on IMDB last I had checked.
While I do agree it has its faults, and that the show could have been better than what it was, I still liked it. The concept was interesting, and it could have been a more epic show if done right. But it, sadly, fell victim to having the wrong people work on it. Seriously, at times, it didn't feel like the people making the show really cared about what they were doing. :p

I didn't think the show was bad at all. I usually like everything produced by DIC.
This game Jurassic: The Hunted. It got such negative critical response, but I found the game fun to play. It's sort of a Nazi Zombies/Jurassic Park type game.
-
I've played that game as well. It is fun to play, but it gets repetitive. I just wish that they had more variety of enemies. Most of the time I was shooting raptors.
As for Dino Squad, I do hope for at least one more season, but I don't see that happening. Such a shame too. Season 2 was an improvement over season 1, and the final episode really made me wish they'd continue from there.

The reason why people don't like it here is not because of how bad the story is. It's because it is disgustingly disrespectful and insulting to the people who died on the Titanic.
It doesn't matter if it's unrealistic and not the true story of the Titanic.
Neither is the James Cameron blockbuster or the musical. But at least the former gave the victims a lot more dignity than...that octopus.
The best thing I can think of to describe it is spitting on the (some watery) graves of the people who died and then laughing at it. It jumped the shark in saying "Oh no, the Titanic never sank! A giant octopus was tricked into throwing an iceberg in order to fulfill a whaling plot and saved everyone in the end with the help of the whales. Yes, everyone! Even the captain and the orchestra (seeing the orchestra on the lifeboats infuriated me!) "
At least, that's my opinion. You can like it all you want.
But that's why most of us here don't like it. It's insulting.
I hope I'm not being unreasonable. :neutral

That's one heck of a guilty pleasure.
*Sigh* I like Silent Hill Origins.
*Dodges tomatos being thrown at me*
Come on! Sure, it wasn't as good as the first three Silent Hill games but at least it was better than Homecoming and Shattered Memories.
I also like Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness.
*Dodges more tomataos*
But...it had the best story out of all the games and Louvre Gallery level was great.
And finally...I like Devil May Cry 2.
*Dodges more tomatos, bricks and knives*
Hey...it was far better than that crap reboot that I pray never gets released.

CT and Serris, I agree. 'Cept for the driving part.
Ok, let me try.

I like spinach, too. Fresh spinach that is, on a salad or in a sandwich.

I like all of those greens as well :yes. My diet is mostly veggies, fruits, and grains.
I also like squash of all kinds. Yellow, zucchini, acorn, butternut, spaghetti, even pumpkin :p.
-
I like all of those, why people hate that kind of food is beyond me. But my diet mostly consists of veggies and basically anything but meat,
because I never liked meat :x .
-
While I'm big on veggies, even as a kid, I can't imagine my diet without meat. I could never be a vegetarian.
-
I tried to be a vegetarian but I was going very hungry every night. So I love meat. I love steak, Pork Chops Ribs and so on.
-
I hated meat when I first tried it, when I got older nothing changed....other that I got a much bigger excuse to not eat it, or at least cut back on it.
-
Not everyone is cut out to be a vegetarian. As I said, I could never be one, and I have a good reason why: humans are an omnivorous species. We're supposed to eat both plants and meat. Not following a balanced diet leads to health issues. One would think that a strictly plant diet would be healthy, after all they're low in fat and calories and have vitamins and minerals. The problem is plants don't have all that we need. We cannot draw all the necessary nutrients from plants, or even digest all parts of plants. We aren't herbivores. We need meat for the rest of our nutritional needs. Yes you can get away with supplements to get the stuff you're missing, but that just further proves my point that humans are not herbivores, we're omnivores.
Anyway, I don't want to drag this off topic, so back to what this subject is actually about.
One thing I like that seems to get a lot of negative reviews is Turok: Evolution, as well as the 2008 Turok.
-
I like Coke Black but everyone else hated it back when it was out back in 2004.
-
For some reason I love those cheap Syfy movies. They're so much fun to watch!

You too?! My friends can't figure out why I like either games and I can't figure out why they don't.
Tomb Raider: Underworld PS2 version. Man did this version get so much hate. And I can see why. Dumbed down graphics and puzzles with almost no combat, level cuts, glitches, bugs...the works. But I still enjoyed the game on that platform.

Yeah I like those as well. I also love those B Horror Movies. Those are low budget movies that usually has a lot of blood gore and swearing in them.

The game Sonic R (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_R).
Everyone says it's the worst sonic game ever (Sonic and the secret rings deserves that title). It's not as bad as everyone makes it sound since I've played it myself.

Actually, for me, Sonic 2006 deserves the title of WORST SONIC GAME EVAR! Seriously, all of the glitches and long load times... I just couldn't stand it. In fact, I stopped playing it before I could beat it and haven't picked it up since. I just hate it too much to ever play it again.
It's not even worth selling online to me. Once I figure out the best way to torture it, it'll die a painful death.
-
Distance running :DD. I love the rush it gives me and how I feel better physically and mentally. Others say it gets boring and only causes them pain. I say they're wrong ;).
-
Psychedelia, apparently. I don't do drugs, but I love psychedelic music, art, animation. I felt very sad yesterday when I showed my friends a clip from "Yellow Submarine" and they were horrified. I think it's lovely, creative expression, and wish it was free and common again for people to think and express like that. Feels like after that time, 60s-70s, people got scared of expressing anything exotic and wonderful happening in their head.

I like anchovies on my pizza. :D

Not sure I ever posted on here before... :-/
Alright, so there is this one movie in particular called Battlefield Earth. Everybody hates it, but I thought it was pretty good. Sure, the camera angles might be a bit dizzy at times, but I thought it to be a great movie! And I thought the ending was pretty good, and the acting never bothered me...
Also the Disney's the Black Cauldron. That needs more love...
...
I also think Gothmog from Peter Jackson's adaption of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King was an awesome character, despite looking like a cross between a pig, a potato and a pumpkin...
-
:lol OK , I saw this thing on the tv called the most anoying songs , my reaction :
me : hey this looks good
they show the music
me : oh I kinda liked those songs ...
my mum : :unsure: me to
both of us : :lol :lol
-
SCHOOL!!! :lol
Yes, I like school. Being there with my friends makes me happy.
Broadway Musicals
Yeah, I know people like these, but the company I'm with right now don't.
-
I love industrial music and electronic music.
-
Also the Disney's the Black Cauldron. That needs more love...
I saw that the other night for the first time and I enjoyed the movie thouroughly myself.

In my opinion, the night levels in Sonic Unleashed are the worst. Sonic 2006 had its faults but I enjoyed it for what it tried to do. Even though the Sonic x Elise romance should have been downplayed.
I liked the PS3 game Legendary and Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game.
