Funnily enough back in the 90s and 2000s it actually used to be cool to make fun of Reeves acting and it was common for TV shows to use him as a punchline, it's only since the late 2000s that he saw something of a reappraisal of his acting career and now people like him quite a bit. I think he's a fine actor but not one of the best, I like the John Wick movies but I feel like they could've been made with just about any actor in the lead role without much changing. I just wish people talked more about Reeves more underappreciated movies like Street Kings.

I don't care for musicals in general(HATE Sound of Music with a passion) with very few exceptions(Pitch Perfect and High School Musical series being one of them)

I like the Spongebob movie but I had no clue who the hell David Hasselhoff was at the time(as i'd never seen Baywatch, it's cultural popularity had come and gone by the time i'd started watching syndication)so I was more perplexed then anything by his cameo(if anything I found his cameo in Kickin it Old Skool funnier). There was originally a subplot in the movie where Sandy is on the run from government agents, but it got cut because Hillenberg and others thought it felt too out of place and distracting.

Ah, nice insight on Reeves, that's a great point-sometimes actors get WAY overshadowed from their other roles because of one single "landmark" role that no one can shut up about. And that in itself is sort of like a "I don't care for the godfather moment." "I think that role was good/decent/fine but I wish we could talk about their OTHER roles for once, please!!!"

In general, I'm just not a "musical" person either, despite the best efforts of my parent to make me into the talent of a Carnegie hall musician with 10+ years of formal music lessons <_< This goes to anything related to musicals-those animatics on Youtube, cover songs, acapella, stage plays, random songs stuffed into indie animations, reenactments of songs, etc. Don't like any of em. I currently can't even think of one single musical off the top of my head I have watched more than once, except for Frozen (rewatched with relatives) and maybe some random clips of High School Musical (which I actually do have a soft spot for, similar to you enjoying it).

Indeed, I knew who David Hasselhoff was (I'm in my 30s), I just didn't get what was so funny about that one super lonngggggg joke that everyone else found absolutely hysterical. I was also perplexed by the whole scene-I guess a LOT of people find it super touching/emotional and I just...didn't? I definitely didn't cry at it the way every Youtuber seems to have, haha (I did see the movie at any older age, which may have affected things too). And thanks for the info about Sandy-I didn't know that! Like I said, I will likely give the movie a full rewatch at some point and see if I can appreciate it more than I did the last time I watched it.

I'm in my 30s too but i'd never heard of Baywatch before the movie came out as my parents hadn't watched it and it was gone from syndication by then, I do vaguely remember seeing it referenced in one of the Princess Diaries books my sister had but I didn't actually look the show up until many years later after I graduated high school.

1. I have never really gotten how obsessed people are with Keanu Reeves. He seems like a cool, nice, and neat person with no major scandals, but like I just don't....get it. Liked first John Wick well enough, but not obsessed with it the way others are either.

2. I actually don't like the first Spongebob movie too much, possibly because I NEVER found the LE EPIC David Hasselhoff cameo funny, whereas everyone else seems to think that is the ABSOLUTE FUNNIEST JOKE/TWIST EVER OMG (ditto for the Goofy Goober scene, though I do like the actual song). I think I was also miffed that Sandy Cheeks, probably my fave char, didn't do like ANYTHING in the movie. That said, it has been a lonnnggggg while since I watched it, so I may need to give it another watch and see if my opinion softens on it.

3. Watched Hamilton a few years ago. Good, but not something I care to ever watch again (as of now).

I get what you are saying about Keanu Reeves. I liked him in Constantine, Bill and Ted, The Matrix movies and Brotherhood of Justice but I am not obsessed with him either and I haven't yet seen any of the John Wick movies.

A few more:

1. Besides the Pokemon Anime which I have liked since it started and the Digimon series I liked for a while, I am not into Japanese Anime in the same way some people are. It is not that I dislike it, I am just not interested in it for the most part.

2. I have never been into the Beatles like so many people are. I don't dislike them or their music, but I have never been that interested in them.

3. Taylor Swift. I know how popular she is but I am just not interested in her or her music. While I did like her early music, I am not into her now and would rather not be hearing about her so much as I did last year. Heck, back in December I decided to change the barber I normally go to, to one that is closer to where I live. I phoned one and got an appointment. When I went for the appointment and sat down in the chair to have my haircut, one of the first thing the barber asked me was is if I liked Taylor Swift!

4. Dr Who. I liked it up to when David Tennant and Matt Smith were the Doctor, but after that I just became uninterested in the show and haven't really watched it since, besides seeing a few clips here and there of newer episodes.

5. Vertical video. I get that people shooting vertically with their smartphone has really cemented vertical videos place, in social media especially, but I have never seen the appeal of it. For that matter, I never really liked the short form vertical videos you see on social media like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube with shorts. With a number of exceptions, I have mostly found that these short videos often follow a trend rather than being original, often have the most random, often copyrighted music that to me not only doesn't sound great, but is sometimes a bit loud. Plus there is the lack of controls on them other than like, pause and mute/unmute.

I think I have seen a grand total of like maybe 5 minutes of Doctor Who on BBC America and never bothered beyond that. For whatever reason, the series hasn't grabbed me the way other people have. Definitely respect it as a landmark sci fi and British series, but I just don't know if it's "my thing."
Speaking of British scifi, I don't think I particularly liked either book 4 or 5 of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Another series I thought was "good," but not as amazing as others made it out to be. But another case of "it's been a hot minute" so I might give it a reread in a few years and see if I "missed" something.

Me and my family went to see the second spongebob movie years back when it was in theaters and we all agreed it was the better spongebob movie. It just fits the show a whole lot better than the stuff in the first movie.

I'm actually of a similar mindset with the second movie- superhero stuff near the end is MEH IMO, but otherwise, the movie has a LOT of enjoyable aspects. Hillenberg even returned so it has a lot of those signature Spongebobisms done well. I get that the first Spongebob movie is a lot more grand and epic on a wide scale ( fitting as it was originally intended to end the series), with a defined plot. And many of these same people don't like the more "sketch" format of the second movie. But I think they are "solid" sketches.

I never liked TikTok myself i'm with Todd in the Shadows in that regard, just don't get the appeal personally. i like Taylor Swift well enough but i'm not like obsessed with her and i've never listened to one of her albums from beginning to end.

Yeah, same here, I even did another thread about "social media" as a whole and how I'm just sort of burned out in general. I have deleted much of my accounts. I have no interest in Tiktok, except whatever from it ends up reposted and/or discussed on other sites. It's just another "fad site" to me.

I also can't do ANYONE on Twitch, no idea why but I just don't have the patience to sit through hours long streams on any topic and/or random discussion. I find it mind numbing mostly. Ditto for those extra long "retrospective" videos on Youtube, unless it's something I REALLY am nostalgic for and/or interested in.

I got a couple of people I occasionally watch on Twitch, though they are primarily Youtubers and streaming is more of a side thing they occasionally do for fun, I don't get into people like Ninja or xQc who just do streaming and nothing else. I occasionally tune in to watch Laura Kate Dale stream but I don't stay for like the whole thing, i'll just pop in throw her some bits and ask a few questions and stay for maybe like 30 minutes at the most and then once my questions are answered I leave the stream.

I'm not much of a Who guy myself, i've played some of the video games and enjoyed them but never got the urge to watch the series. As for Hitchhikers Guide I liked the movie but the books weren't really up my alley.

I didn't particularly like the original Evil Dead trilogy beyond the bonkers practical effects and some of the directing choices. Heck, I actually liked the Ash vs. the Evil Dead TV series better than the movies.

tbh the first game is alright but fnaf 2 -5 were so hard it wasn't fun and scary anymore (fnaf 4 was actually scary) the gameplay insanity was too much for me but it started getting at least better, but security breach was broken so I can see why some people wouldn't like it.

Yeah I thought it sucked ass too and after seeing what a rotten piece of shit Cawthon turned out to be i'm legitimately glad I never got into it.

Speaking of video games I never got all the people jizzing over Sonic Mania, it's a good game don't get me wrong but i'll never understand the mentality of it being "ZOMG the best Sonic game evah!", like no it's not IMO, it's a good 2-D Sonic game but that's it, and when it comes to 2-D Sonic titles I honestly think Superstars is a better game.

First film was fine, 2nd film was alright, 3rd film honestly didn't do it for me, the change from horror comedy to fantasy-comedy just didn't really grab me. Honestly I kinda like the video games better.

While we're on the topic of horror films I never understand what the big deal about The Shining was, I fully agree with King's criticisms of that film, Duvall's character is thinly written and hasn't aged well and hearing about how badly she got mistreated on the set does not exactly make me want to be particularly kind to the movie. Sure it's got some nice moments but it did not need to be two and a half fucking hours long, plus Nicholson's performance is so scenery-chewing and over-the-top that I just couldn't find him intimidating or take him seriously, it just felt like nonstop camera mugging, hell Jack already acts crazy before he even gets to the hotel so the "transformation" has pretty much no impact. It's a massively overrated movie that absolutely does not deserve it's placing on so many "classic" movie lists IMO.

Yeah there's a disturbing amount of fanboys willing to ride or die for that loser, a bunch of FNAF stans tried to attack Jim Sterling(who some say was kinda responsible for FNAF as his video mocking Cawthon's previous game for how disturbing it's animals characters looked inspired him to go all in on making disturbing animal characters)for daring to call him out for giving money to bigots. FNAF easily has one of the worst and most toxic fanbases of all time and i'm glad to have zero desire to have anything to do with that franchise(that fuck-awful movie certainly didn't help any)
