    I can tell you why I have the most unpopular opinions. Because I disagree with a lot of you.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I don't understand why people want the autographs of cosplayers.

    I understand it takes time and dedication to make a costume. There's definitely a craft to it, but you're essentially just a well dressed fan among fans.

    Nothing against it, though. If someone can explain to me the joy they get from it I can probably be swayed.

    That's not controversy, that's just true.

    Sense of humor is largely subjective, but in this case...that's the point...

    I thought that was a widely accepted fact?

    This. Shouldn't have lasted three seasons. Let alone seven (or however many seasons there are, now.)
    And got picked up for three more and you are wrong, there are several million people who are quite happy it has lasted this long. When it first came out, I didn't think it would last.

    As far as my own opinions...I don't know that I have any off the top of my head...hmmm

    Barney was the best Godzilla?
    Books are better than movies?

    Ron Weasley is a cowardly idiot and it made no sense that Hermione liked him over Harry.

    I'm not a fan of the Inbetweeners, not really a fan of shows which is just a series of awkward moments. Same reason why I never really enjoyed the office either.

    I do not care for reality tv. I liked them at first but now I wish they would die.

    I'm 16, turning 17 on the eighteenth of July, but I had a full (thick I must add) beard at the age of 14.

    It's pretty controversial.

    No time for "Dilly-Dallying" or "Shilly-Shallying."

    Harry didn't deserve Hermione or anyone else. Harry Potter was a twat. He lucked into his life and didn't earn a damn thing. Typical case of one guy getting the praise while everyone around him does all the real work.

    This is controversial?

    BBT is a show about what non-nerds think being a nerd is about. I guess I can see why it succeeded. Regular people love to laugh at those smurfing nerds.

    Wow so here's one, and if you'd told me I would be posting this a couple of hours ago I would have punched you in the face:

    The 1998 version of American Godzilla was better than the 2014 movie. The new Godzilla movie is pretty bad and after the halfway mark when the kaiju are revealed it just becomes boring. I honestly did not know that a kaiju movie could be boring but here we are. As bad as the '98 one was it at least had focus and sustained themes instead of not knowing whether it's a kaiju movie or a story about a guy in a disaster (and failing at both) and whether it wants to be about father-son relationships (and aside from Joe and Ford failing utterly at it, and that success is solely down to Cranston's acting strength) or insipid troute where we're simultaneously at nature's mercy but how very very dare we try to use any of the tools that might save us.

    Sorry new Godzilla movie team, but just the fact of seeing Godzilla's existence and appealing to nostalgia isn't enough to make a movie actually good.

    You're not being controversial, you're just being wrong. :P
    The problem with this is that the new movie got the one thing right it had to get right. Godzilla was badass, the fighting was badass, and though he didn't get much screen time, what time he did get was exciting and worth even a boring 90 minute wait. 1994 Godzilla failed at the one thing a Godzilla movie has to get right, which is Godzilla himself. Take Godzilla out of both movies and yes the 1994 movie had a better underlying story (which is only testament to how bad the 2014 movie was).

    Speaking of ginormous monsters, Peter Jackson's King Kong was the best one. (Forgive me if I mentioned this.)

    I hate most technology. I don't own a cell phone anymore or phone of any type. LoTR smurfing sucked. I loved the movies and The Hobbit is a fantastic book. But, the LoTR books were horrible. Movies suck. Most TV sucks. Most new music is atrocious. I can keep going forever

    Me either. This version is my fav.

    Here is my unpopular opinion: professorial gaming is lame. I know that will be very unpopular to a lot of you gamers.

    Also all of these shows are terrible:
    Firefly
    Falicity
    Lost
    True Blood
    Walking Dead (though I watch it because I love horror and there isn't enough horror representation in television that isn't smurfing werewolfs or vampires)
    Anything on the WB or whatever they're calling themselves now
    Gossip Girl
    Big Bang Theory
    How I Met Your Mother
    Pretty much all television
    Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia
    This list goes on


    I have tried and watched many episodes from several of these. smurf most television. I dislike other well liked shows but I don't feel their necessarily bad just not of my taste e.g. Seinfeld.
