Movies:
-- Kill Bill movies (maybe i'm missing something, but i loathed them)
-- The Nightmare Before Christmas (i like the art direction but everything else lacks)
-- War of the Worlds (standard spielburg crap -- all action, no substance)
-- Titanic (long, sappy, bad acting, awful direction)
-- Lord of the Rings (not bad, just over-rated, overdone, and too long)
Bands:
-- Nirvana (average at best. if cobain hadn't shot himself we'd never remember them)
-- Aerosmith (older stuff was OK until they sold out and went poppy)
-- Good Charlotte (poppy pseudo-emo written for money and nothing else)
-- Breaking Benjamin (every song sounds the same. very generic rock)
-- Kiss (their music is just plain awful. that's all i'm saying about them)
Books:
-- Invisible Man (450 pages of the protagonist being an idiot does not a good book make)
-- The Man in the Iron Mask (the author was paid by the word and it shows...)
I don't read much so I'm going to just leave the book list at 2.
Hayo: I know plenty about Nirvana, that doesn't make them any less overrated. I actually like them, but they are certainly over-hyped, Kurt wasn't an amazing lyracist, the lyrics sound like what they are, drug-addled ramblings. Dave Grohl was the talent in that band, I'm glad he made his own band.
Teapot: If you think Pulp Fiction is 'utter toss', you need to get better taste in movies.
My list:
Blair Witch Project: That wasn't a film, neither was it scary or original, the concept pretty much ripped off Cannibal Holocaust.
Big Brother: TV at it's most lazy.
Oasis: Terrible band who's songs are indistinguishable from each other, they're proper twats as people and Liam seems to think he can fill a song by extending his vowels.
Can't be arsed to think of anything more right now.
Movies:
-Troy; A disaster of a film, with the plot depth of a puddle.
-Star Wars Episode 3; Just not any good. Only reason to watch it is the Yoda fights.
Books:
-The Lord of the Rings; A brilliant work of fiction, but as literature it leaves a lot to be desired.
-The Encyclopedia Britanica; I have lost all respect for this thing. It contains sweeping statements that are factually wrong and reflect either very biased or very inefficient research. After realising how wrong they could be about subjects I understand very well, I would never use it to look up subjects that I don't.
Things:
-Banana milkshake; it shouldn't exist.
-People who mix up 'your' and 'you're'

Films:
- Dr Strangelove. All I laughed at were the Hitler salute bits.
- American History X. Clichéd "racist becomes nice after meeting cool black guy" tosh.
- Saving Private Ryan. Action scenes are great but you can't make a film without a cohesive or believable plot.
Damien, I respectfully disagree about Pulp Fiction. What didn't you like about it?
Blair Witch Project is the worst movie ever. All it is is a bunch of potty mouths who get lost and get disemboweled by the muppets who hide in the woods.Most of the time, they're not even doing anything interesting. Just sitting there and complaining about being lost.
Movies:
-Star Wars Episode 3 (it was good the first time through, but the 2nd time through wasn't as good)
-Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (it left out a bunch of parts in the book)
Games:
-first person shooters (there's 50 million of them and they're all the same: Shoot people and don't get shot yourself)
-Runescape (it takes too much time to do stuff on it)
-Star Wars Episode 3; Just not any good. Only reason to watch it is the Yoda fights.
-Star Wars Episode 3 (it was good the first time through, but the 2nd time through wasn't as good)
I thought it was awesome...
-Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (it left out a bunch of parts in the book)
It got me much more involved than the first two movies. I didn't read the book this time though.
-first person shooters (there's 50 million of them and they're all the same: Shoot people and don't get shot yourself)
I agree in part. There are so many that it becomes ridiculous. Why are there like 100 fps made every year but not one single stinking adventure game!!!
And now... another addition of mine
Xbox - People hype this for everything except what it's made for, playing games.
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
Prisoner of Azkaban is the only Harry Potter movie I've liked so far. It's darker than the other two and isn't afraid to differ from the book where it needs to. I do agree about Star Wars Episode 3 tho. Nothing can touch the original trilogy.
Since we're adding a games category, I'll add...
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City + San Andreas (neither was a match for the brilliance of GTA3)
Madden NFL Football (the nfl 2k series was superior in every way except marketing)
Mario 64 (boring gameplay, bad camera. mario was never meant to be played in 3d)
Halo 2 (horrible single-player campaign compared to the original. still good tho)
Chrono Cross (felt nothing like Chrono Trigger. a huge letdown for me)
-Lord of the Rings (Blows, no one can change my mind. Curse your black heart Peter Jackson)
-Star Wars (Sucks. George Lucas is a whiney little greedy buddist. Kill him please).
-Michael Moore Films: (He's a fat socialist who should be put down for spewing such propaganda. I can't spells none.)
-ET (What the heck is this anyway?)
----------------
Bands:
Beatles: All the same. Boring.
Green Day: One good song (American Idiot), the rest is all the same
Good Charlotte: Sucks
Kiss: Stupid
----------------
Books:
-Moby Dick (The first chapter was all about water and it went downhill from there. Not a classic. An excrement.
-Heart is A Lonely Hunter (Bad)
----------------
TV Shows:
-Reality TV (Sad, sad society we live in)
-Fairly OddParents (Sucks. Long live Invader Zim)
-King of the Hill (Don't go there)
-There's a bunch of others, but I've lost count.
Fine Garbage since 2003.
CURRENT PROJECT:
-Paying off a massive amount of debt in college loans.
-Working in television.
Music: Coldplay - people say they are the new Oasis, but Oasis's 1st album is better than all 3 of Coldplay's albums put together.
Films: All the LoTR Trilogy - boring, dull, overhyped.
Games: Halo, Grand Theft Auto
Books: Don't read any books, im not illiterate I'd just rather read magazines and websites.
I can't believe so many people hate The White Stripes, they rock.
I like that one because it's darker then the previous installments.
But Emma Watson dresses like a harlett (it may be a good thing for some, but this movie is really aimed at the kiddies)
Thought of more:
Movies-
Kill Bill 1 & 2: What's the point?
Games-
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: First, I thought 'Hey this rules'! And then I played it further...and I thought 'Wow...this just keeps repeating itself.' BORING!
Grand Theft Auto: Great, let's teach kids to mow down skanks. Just plain beautiful. 'Grand Theft Auto- Teaching YOU to Become the Next Al Capone!
People should see The Dark Crystle...waaaaay better then Lord of the Rings.

Something ive noticed since my sister has the harry potter books and the films.
The books get increasingly bigger so the third film would have to be about 6 hours long to include all of the book. The new one would need to be about 15 hours probably.
Yes ive seen the films but not read the books.
A lot of things are overhyped.
Text messaging, alcopops, holidays, any new rap artist, 3d sonic the hedgehog games, the vast majority of American sitcoms, boy bands, cups of coffee (tea is nice though).

"Great, let's teach kids to mow down skanks."
Yeah but it's rated M in American, 18 in Britain, etc; kids shouldn't be playing it. I like GTA.
That's a crap point, it's like saying there shouldn't be movies with adult themes because children might see them. Parents should take responsibility for their kids for fucks sake, and us adults should be allowed to have entertainment.
Movies:
The Lord of The Rings
Titanic
Troy
Blair Witch Project
Star Wars Episode 3
Star Wars Everything Else
Harry Potter
TV:
Big Brother
Reality TV
Books:
Harry Potter
Internet:
AOL

Did you hear about the furore in America because the PC version of San Andreas contains a "sex minigame" - which, incidentally, can only be unlocked by downloading a crack from the Internet. I'm not sure of the logic of making a game "AO" ("Adults Only" - WHICH IT SHOULD BE ANYWAY like it is in the UK) because of a download from an Internet where it's much much easier to download proper porn. Not to mention the reasoning that states it's OK for kids to play a game where you can hijack combine harvesters and mow people over whilst their limbs spit out the other end, but God forbid they see a bit of sex.
GTA 3 onwards are terrible. Harry Potter books are very good, not great literature or anything but definitely something kids can be brought up reading.
I thought the "Sex minigame" for Gta san andreas was an unofficial mod. If so then it's even more rediculous that people are up in arms about it.
Some parents nowadays have no control over their kids and blame everything else rather than take responibility themselves.
