It’s the flimsy pathetic golf clapping that really pisses me off. Almost makes me want to throw up, and I have no idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I'm not moved by Jim Carrey at all. I didn't mind the mask in the cinema back in the day but ace ventura totally passed me by and I just never connected to him. MrsVM has tried the straight roles films angle with me and meh. One of my oldest mates with the peurilest of senses of humour (hey, that's why we're friends!) loves him. I can picture him now belly laughing to dumb and dumber back in the day. I don't dislike him. Just not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2023 Comedy is, by its very nature, massively subjective. (That's not an Unpopular Opinion, btw, just an observation). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was doing stuff that IMO literally no one else could do but because it was comedy he never gets the props he deserves He's an incredible actor, like unbelievable how good he is at times, one of a kind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf's like cricket, you can knock 95% of it on the head and then have some of the best couple of hours in sports as it comes to a finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just... no. I have a lot of time for JL (despite his bluenose tendencies). He's a massively talented musician and producer. But he's a Beatles copyist, and he'd be the first to admit it. He could skilfully replicate the sound - but improve on the original? Nah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I think the Beatles are more popular because they were older so got in there first with the early 60s stuff like I Want to Hold Your Hand and She Loves You, which cemented them as hugely popular. Then obviously it was bookended by the murder of John Lennon. By the end though, they were turning out absolute toilet, especially Paul McCartney written stuff like Maxwell's Silver Hammer on Abbey Road. The almost entire abum of which (another unpopular opinion incoming) is complete shite, apart from Come Together which is OK, and Here Come the Sun, which is glorious. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Super Furry Animals always said they wanted to be like the progression of the Beach Boys sound but the closest they ever got was they sometimes sounded like a knock off ELO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bands that break up/something tragic happens gain on the legend status. In my opinion, the Rolling Stones have always been far superior, and they actually stuck together (with some smaller changes) and are still performing. If the Beatles carried on and released 40/50 years of crappy music they would not be praised like they are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It must be 50 years at least since Paul McCartney wrote a good song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
