I'm probably forgetting some?

 

If that list is a ranking, jingle all the way is so low its borderline criminal

 

I saw a tweet once where someone said they were "forced" to watch the abomination of a movie called Jingle All The Way on a flight or something like that.

Jingle All The Way is a national treasure and that guy is an idiot.

 

It's a bad movie that I enjoy.

Dad, you smell like barf

 

lmao the first line that comes to mind every time followed immediately by PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN

 

But it's a great movie, not a bad one

 

Is it unpopular to say that Planes Trains and Automobiles should be classified as a Christmas movie despite taking place on Thanksgiving?

 

people consider die hard a christmas movie so, i'll let you have it

 

I think it's why it's a holiday movie. You can celebrate both!

 

Haha fair! I mean, it's full of snow and some of the box art for it has green and red text, so I figured I wasn't toooo crazy

 

jingle all the way isn't even bad fun, it's just bad

 

Watched Jingle All the Way last Christmas season and holy shit it was so wild and chaotic. And then I listened to the “How Did This Get Made?” episode on it and was amused that literally everything they brought up were the same scenes that stood out to me and literally thought, “if they do an episode on this film that scene will be talked about for 5 minutes. And that one.. and that one. And especially that one” lol

 

I’ll catch some Big Bang Theory if I’m at my in-law’s and they have it on. I’ll laugh at some parts and I don’t get why it’s hated so much. It’s by no means award worthy and should not be on any years-end lists, but still amusing.
I guess it’s part of a larger issue I have with people who make it part of their personality to strongly hate something and go out of their way to bring it up. A friend of mine finds a way to bring up how much he didn’t like the last season of GoT and The Last Jedi. Nickleback and The Walking Dead fall into this category too.

 

First couple seasons of walking dead were pretty fun, especially watching them with a large group of people

 

I can only listen to audiobooks if its non-fiction. It's like listening to a longform podcast. I can't imagine ever wanting to listen to a novel.

 

I don't have the attention span for an audiobook, I need to read at my own pace to absorb it. Sometimes I'll read a page a couple times

 

Me too. I even prefer books to movies/shows lately.

 

Haha yeah I've been that way for as long as I can remember. I remember my brain drifting off while reading my Magic Treehouse books in second grade and re-reading the same paragraph several times

 

The number of times I’ve read a page in a book, turned the page and then realized that I have absolutely no fucking memory of what I read because I read it but like in a Twitter-reading kind of way not in a book-reading kind of way is an embarrassingly large amount

 

I rarely listen to audiobooks, but when I do it's usually when I'm doing chores or something, which makes washing dishes not as boring
