bee_yorkOkay, here's something that reeealllly gets under my skin-- people who freak out when I tell them I hate something they happen to like. They whine and ask, "WHAT? WHYYYYY?" when in all honesty, it should be pretty self-evident why I--or anyone--would hate it. And I was just presented with the perfect example right now!
I have the TV on one of the only two channels I get, and a show just began. It started off with over-dramatic zoom-in on a couple sitting on a sofa in an abandoned loft of some sort, timed to some silly, over-the-top drums. My first thought? It was a comedy, because no way could anything THIS ridiculous be something that was to be taken seriously.
The show continued, the couple started freaking out about something; then it dawned on me that it was actually supposed to be serious! And in addition to the over-dramatic direction, it had horrendous acting, too. Then the couple get out of the building and find their dead son in a car. The mother starts screaming and falls down in slow motion. Yes, this TV show actually used slow motion. As if this were 1985.
Then the opening credits hit.
CSI.
WELL THAT JUST MAKES SENSE.
People tend to freak out when I tell them I hate CSI. I haven't seen an episode in a long time, and now this just solidifies my hatred for this show. (And that's an understatement, lol.) But yeah. It's bad enough when people can't understand that I have different tastes than they do. But to freak out and wonder why I would hate this utter garbage? Argh. It's just...what it boils down to, is that some folks can't understand why I wouldn't like a show with bad acting, awful direction, over-the-top music, and shitty dialogue? A show that is so over-dramatic and just plain bad that I thought it was a comedy at first? A show that uses slow-motion in all seriousness? And they can't understand why I would hate it? Really? REALLY?
Arghhhhh.
Anyway, I just really had to get that off my chest. lol
And don't even get me started on Glee...asghadghfgkfhfghkgdh
...Actually, I already wrote a post about Glee awhile ago, but that show pisses me off enough that it probably warrants another one! ;P
ETA:
I *might* honestly have to retract most of what I've said here because apparently this show has car-swallowing holes, fireballs and PEOPLE DYING FROM GETTING SHOT IN THE FACE WITH RACCOONS. I....I kind of have to reconsider my stance on this show because OMG RACCOON CANONS. WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN.... XD
