Tim Burton sucks, he has two good films (Batman and Ed Wood) and he did supply the stories of the Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before X-Mas, which both suck. But the actual animation on those is amazing and was done by Henry Selick, who is amazing. I highly reccomend watching this thing he did:

music by the Residents!

Also, Donnie Darko blows. As does Requiem for a Dream.

My unpopular opinion is this:

Cell phones are one of the worst things to happen to the world.

AIDS should not be cured.
I'm not joking.

The digitalization of our world is fucking tragic.

^ I fucking hate the reliance on the internet/cell phones/texting/social networking/whathaveyou.

Here's an opinion, I dunno if it's unpopular but I wanted to share it: The youtube from 3 years ago (without restrictions on music, without restrictions on length, when they were very lax about posting movies and shit.. and without the retards on it) was the all-time greatest website ever invented. Now? Not so much.

Yeah. The only thing I have is the internet... No cell phone, no ipods, I don't have anything like any of that shit. I think even the internet has taken away a lot of the mystery, fun, and discovery out of life... but I think it's done more good than bad, really, so I won't bitch about that.

Cell phones just seem pointless to me, until I start driving for hours at a time on long highways with no rest stops. Every store in America has a payphone or a "private phone" and I hate talking on the phone, in general, so.......

I really just don't want people to get ahold of me.

curing cancer would cause the population rates to go out of control

The United States should have stopped existing 100 years ago.

You know Harrison Ford is at the end of his career when he stars in a buddy cop picture, and says things like "For Shizzle My Nizzle Homey!"

My girlfriend goes to art school, and so I have met and talked to and been around plenty of "art school" people and I gotta say... none of them are particularly interesting and none of them DEFINITELY are what I would consider "artistic". Some are "talented" at crafting homages to other famous artists but none have their own voice. It's made me question the point of art school in general. Actually, college in general is kinda silly. I totally respect a lot of people who go, but I know so many young kids going to school, saying "Oh man I'm really going to get ahead in life after I get my degree!" What I've discovered from people that I know is that getting a degree USUALLY means you'll probably get a somewhat more enjoyable job than working at Wal-Mart... getting a college degree doesn't mean you're smart, nor does it indicate you have great tenacity or any real intelligence at all. But again, I respect people who put in the effort, and the people who go because they genuinely want to learn? That's great. I'm talking about the people who force themselves into it, or feel forced into it, because of other motivations (parents, usually)...

Admittingly, I'm somewhat bitter because I've saved well over $15,000 in 3 years, working (and still paying bills, though I do live at home), everyone I know is in debt and has no idea what to do with their lives and yet somehow I am an idiot in everyone's eyes for not going to school.

Schooling in the United States of America has served to train professions instead of educating individuals since the Cold War.

jerf 06.27.2009 11:03 PM

the world is flat.

not my opinion, but i hear its a pretty unpopular idea.

pbradley 06.27.2009 11:09 PM

Watch out, you guys are starting to sound as though you are trying to excuse yourselves.

Sonic Youth 37 06.27.2009 11:09 PM

The American notion of "everyone has to go to college" is what has killed us for the last 30 years. Everyone does NOT need to go to college. We've made it out to be something that it isn't and now a college degree is basically worthless, no matter what people say. When I graduate I'll have the equivalent of almost a 5 year degree finished in a little less than 4 and I probably won't be able to find a job.
