slipjig3I am dedicating this post (and its comments) to the pursuit of a single goal: confession of our daily heresies, the small ones we all carry as members of modern society, without guilt or shame or fear of retribution. Note that anonymous posting has not been enabled, in the interest of all of us embracing our heretical stances and not cowering from our differences—or, dare I say, our similarities.
I will begin: *deep breath*
Lord of the Rings is boring.
Tori Amos's best album was From the Choirgirl Hotel. Liz Phair's was Whip-Smart.
Ice cream and cake have no business being on the same plate together, ever. Also, chocolate syrup trumps hot fudge any day of the week.
Eliot's "The Wasteland" is pretentious twaddle. So is Infinite Jest.
Beer is marginally drinkable at best, swill at worst.
Sammy Hagar was a better Van Halen lead singer than David Lee Roth, and had Gary Cherone stuck around, he might have beaten them both.
*another cleansing breath* Your turn. (Please note that flaming the brave confessors will not be tolerated. Thank you.)

Date: 2009-08-11 02:51 pm (UTC)As to my own:
Night Ranger was a damned fine band.
China Mieville is a boring and insanely overrated writer.
So was Herman Melville. Don't even ask me to read an author if his last name begins with an "m" and ends in "ville."
In spite of my generally mainstream tastes and heteronormative views, Megan Fox does nothing for me. Nothing at all. Estelle Getty has more sex appeal, and I'm talking about her present state (dead).
(The last statement should not be taken as an endorsement of necrophilia; dead Estelle Getty is still very, very unattractive, imho.)
If Mad Men and The Office vanished from TV today, I wouldn't notice or care.
Ditto American Idol, and pretty much every reality show on television.
Last two comments aside, I love television as a medium, and consider it much stronger than film.
Les Miz isn't the worst Broadway musical ever, but that's only because of Cats and Phantom of the Opera. And Nick and Nora was much, much better than any of those shows. So is a moose stuck in blender.
Golf is not a sport. Neither is auto racing, motorcross, or rhythmic "gymnastics."
There hasn't been a good first-person shooter since Shadow Master.
Also, because it can't be said enough, Lord of the Rings really, really, really blows.
