The over-rated things thread

Recommended Posts

I was going to post this and Muse

Yes, I do quite like some of their stuff but they aren't as great as the general consensus seems to be. Plenty of bands I could list in that catagory though.

3D films/games.

What about Anime/Manga? I know some people who are weirdly obsessed with these strange Japanese cartoons.. what's the appeal?

And this guy.. raved about but has done fvck all for us

I don't quite get the Nandos "overrated" claims.

Not saying it's amazing, I just don't remember ever hearing anyone rave on about Nandos like it's glorious. Surely to be overrated, quite a lot of people have to be bumming it. :dunno:

Maybe I'm just hanging with the wrong people.

Facebook is full of Nandos bummers Finnegan!

And Gym meat heads that eat it after a "big sesh"

Oh and every premiership footballer on Twitter lol

It probably means your hanging around with the right people to be fair! lol

In my experience it's pretty much everyone under the age of about 24. And they do exactly that, "rave on about Nandos like it's glorious".

The food is acceptable, nothing I couldn't easily cook at home, and it's horrendously overpriced. Add that to the whole "order your food at the counter" concept which takes away anything civilised about it as a dinner destination and you're left with very little to bang on about.

Come to think of it, maybe Wymsey took his date to Nandos and she was so pissed off at this entirely unromantic decision that she stabbed him to death using those little cocktail-stick flag things...

I could give out plenty of +1s on this thread if I had any left. Then Adam comes along and posts Kasabian lol

I'll add the Twilight films. I don't think they're crap because they're girly, I'm not someone who will completely dismiss chick flicks on that basis alone, I just think they're crap because they are.

I was coaxed into watching the first one with the family and it was just a complete bore. What is with that miserable girl? I wish she'd just committ suicide at the start of it to save me and hour and a half of my life. The only reason women bum it is because it's full of blokes taking their shirts off and they view Pattinson as some kind of 'perfect boyfriend' kind of character just because he comes out with a few laughable bullshit lines. Which is fine if that's what you want to watch but that doesn't make it anymore of a proper film than softcore porn (the special effects probably do, but they don't really do anything for me either).

Which brings me onto another overrated thing, 3D films. What happened to a great stories being told by great storytellers? Now it's all about the effects.

Secretly I'm slightly disappointed with the lack of response that my insight generated :thumbdown:

And let's face it surely you were expecting it?

Who reads any more than the first few posts in a thread like this, before just posting their own response? :P You posted it too late lol But for the record I agree....

Yeh I was, then again you think most popular things are overrated so you could have said just about anything lol In act this should be your official venting thread.

laugh.gif - cruel. What would have been better is if it had not been made into a film and been left as some poxy little book that didn't register on my radar in the slightest - now the films, impossible to ****ing escape them bar hiding under a rock in a crater on the moon.

Now then:
