When I tell people I’ve never seen the Lion King they are really baffled by that.
I’d tell you about the popular movie I haven’t seen, but the first rule says I can’t talk about it.
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
Most of the “current” ones because I have not really watched TV for years. I see a lot of stuff on social media about them which is the only way I know that they exist.
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.
Sopranos, Game of Thrones. Basically anything produced for HBO.
I caught the first 2-1/2 seasons of The Wire because of a promotion on Hulu.
It boils down to: I’m a cheapskate.
Yo ho me hearty, 'tis no excuse says I.
Game of Thrones, The Sopranos and The West Wing are probably the biggest hitters.
I own 4 series of the Sopranos on DVD, but I’ve never got round to watching them.
i’ve also never seen the lion king, or the jungle book, the little mermaid–but popular media being what it is, i have still absorbed numerous songs from them.
i have also never watched any star wars movies other than the original three movies (during their initial theatrical runs, and never again since), and only a few of the marvel and dc movies.
The Godfather. It just never happened.
Also, small promotion for [email protected] 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?
That applies to all Disney movies for me. The last one i saw was The Beauty and the Beast when it came out. My then girlfriend dragged me to the cinema to see it. It wasn’t awful but I had no inclination to see another one ever since.
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.
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.
Pulp fiction for the movie, and friends for the show
GoT because I’d read the first two books and got bored of a medieval soap opera where the writer substitutes misery porn for a plot.
Breaking Bad because Bryan Cranston vaguely irritates me (I don’t know why, I’m sure he’s a lovely man).
Zombie related stuff because seriously, it was non-stop shit zombie movies for almost a decade and I’m bored of it. It’s just become another lazy trope. Exception: Zombieland.
Everything I’ve seen and heard indicates that he is in fact a wonderful person. But I’m not going to argue with you, because I have such an intense hatred for Hugh Grant and Richard Gere. And I don’t have a rational explanation as to why.
Breaking Bad because Bryan Cranston vaguely irritates me (I don’t know why, I’m sure he’s a lovely man).
It is honestly refreshing to see this kind of honesty including not knowing why.
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.
I’ve never seen Avatar (movie, not the anime)
