Your Friends and Families - And Their Taste In Movies
Have you ever just been flabbergasted by a friend or relative and their taste in movies? I'm not saying that you knock their opinion but maybe you just can't understand it? For example, my mom signed up with Netflix because my brother gave her some free trial thing. I was browsing through her ratings and noticed that Citizen Kane, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, The Big Lebowski, 2001, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Tommy Boy all received ONE star from her. I just don't get it...

Thats why they make vanilla & chocolate
Different strokes for different folks thats about all I got wait....thought of a couple more The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. A wise man does not need advice and a fool won’t take it. Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity. He who can, does. He who can’t, teaches. Life becomes useless and insipid when we have no longer either friends or enemies. It is better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt. Teamwork…means never having to take all the blame yourself. I no longer have the fear of being alone. It’s cool to find out that you don’t need a boyfriend to be happy. Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid all together. If you don’t know where you’re going how do you expect to get there ? Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. Being cool, is not trying to be cool. A smile is the lighting system of the face, the cooling system of the head and the heating system of the heart. That’s the secret to life… replace one worry with another… It’s faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes life worth living. A friend is someone who has the same enemies you have.

hmm family ...
my wife loves crass comedies - preferably with someone getting hurt (Dumb and Dumber .. stuff like that) which i also like - but thats ALL she likes. my kid - likes everything .. my friends : my best buddy at work loves all film and had a healthy love for horror most of my closest friends do - but not just horror films - all good films regardless of genre. my friend the film critic has almost the same exact taste in film that i do.. i've never had the "ohhh you like horror - you're weird" experience because i dont associate with people like that .. they tend to be fairly weak minded. the people who dont like horror either respect my tastes or are afraid to say anything negative.

Anyway, I understand her not liking those movies I just can't see someone HATING all of them. Especially when she gives Are We There Yet? a 5. Ah well, just venting, my own mother, the one who showed me Dawn of the Dead for the first time... rates it a 1. You just don't know some people as well as you thought you did.

I hate three of them. Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Big Lebowski and Tommy Boy are all movies I like. I find 2001 as sterile as a stainless steel condom and Citizen Kane violently overrated.

Yeah, that is kind of weird. It's such a diverse selection to disapprove of.
