ScalziWatched the first episode of a highly regarded television show that people I know and like thought was great and I was absolutely fucking bored with it, which goes to show that either individual tastes are ultimately idiosyncratic, or that all my friends and at least some television critic have shit taste in TV, honestly it's a coin flip which it is
Corb_The_Lesser@scalzi I talked someone into watching one of The Thin Man movies with Myrna Loy and William Powell by telling them it was absolutely one of the best movies ever. They thought it was "Insipid". They were wrong, of course.
Lady Guru@Corb_The_Lesser @scalzi an ex had never seen Casablanca. I convinced them to watch it. After watching it I asked them what they thought, "it's really cliched" they told me. In retrospect that was a sign to get out of that relationship.
