not necessarily an unpopular opinion among us so much as it is unpopular in Hollywood, but a lot of these animated movies coming out would be a lot better if instead of hiring a bunch of celebrities to phone in their performances, they used actual voice actors instead. if you need one guy to anchor the film like, say, Jack Black in Kung Fu Panda, fine, but there's no reason you couldn't have gotten say Steve Blum or Jennifer Hale to voice members of the furious 5, because everyone but Black and Hoffman mailed in their performances. Indeed but I think that the studios are too afraid that the general movie going public won't go see animated films unless there are some names attracted to the characters. That and well known actors most likely see these films are lazy way to pick up a easy paycheck.

Not even a fan of Scrubs....still even that is better than Big Bang which I find quite unfunny , it never grabs me like other sitcom and thus I don't care for it. Elliot Carver was all right just not on the same level as Blofeld , Zorin or Sanchez. I liked Carver, his problem was he was in a weak movie. There was so much potential to it. In fact the idea is pretty ahead of its time, but EON's brain trust botched it hardcore from the top, down.

John Stewart is not as good as he used to be. He's gotten a lot more partisan in his satire pieces, where the thing thst elevated him in the first place was the fact the making fun of both sides of the political spectrum made him as close to truly fair news coverage as you can get these days. He's also been increasingly bitter, even downright mean spirited at times. I think he is just burnt on doing The Adaiky Shiw and having to be immersed in this political nonsense 24/7. He also has dominated the show more and more as he lost many if his best supporting cast members. I think this break to work on something else and let someone else take over the show was badly needed and I hope he comes back refreshed and more like he used to be.

Because of the constant bullshit I get fed by people, I no longer have any desire to watch a Doctor Who or Sherlock show ever.

- Homeland is not that great of a show. It's got serious pacing issues and frankly, Claire Danes is not an appealing actress by any stretch of the imagination. I snoozed through the first two episodes and fell asleep during the third episode. - Despite all the fawning over her, Natalie Portman is not a good actress. She was good in Leon as a child but as an adult, she grates hard. She was especially horrible in Thor. - Jonah Hill has never been funny in any movie. Not even close. Ditto Seth Rogen. - The Pineapple Express might be one of the worst films ever made. - Johnny Depp is majorly over hyped. I have only ever enjoyed two movies he was in, the first Pirates film and Sweeney Todd. The Lone Ranger was the worst movie released in 2013. - I enjoyed Ready to Rumble immensely and do still occasionally watch it when I want mindless entertainment. Plus Scott Caan is sexier than anyone has a right to be in that film. - Most horror films are horribly made and full of terrible actors and are basically a waste of everyone's time.

Doom was an enjoyable movie. Hell yeah, it's pretty damn good and so is Spawn (just make sure to get the Directors cut).

-As much as I like Mickey Rourke, I don't see where he made a comeback...he has worked consistently for years.. He is an excellent actor but a laughable boxer. His best movie was "Diner". He messed up his face not because of boxing IMO, but because of going to the wrong guys for maybe vanity and it bit him in the butt.
- I loved the "Saw" movies and numbers 2-5 are quite interesting.
- I like "Scream 2". David Arquette is a pretty decent actor.
- As much as I despise what Mel Gibson has said and done, I wonder if there were others in Hollywood who have said and done the same things. Mel Gibson is a talented, drunk, and crazy actor who just got caught.
- I hated Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.

I'm glad the Texas Hold'em craze is over basically. And I never understood why anyone would want to watch a show with a bunch of assholes playing cards. It's beyond boring.

I've never cared for Always Sunny. I find it boring at best, terrible at it's worst. That said, oddly enough, I enjoy Charlie Day in everything else he's been in.
I do not think Natalie Portman or Keira Knightley are even remotely talented. In fact, they tend to drag down whatever movies I've seen them in and have made otherwise great movies unappealing to re-watch, knowing I'll have to sit through their performances.
I'm sure I have others but that's all that comes to mind right now...

Melissa Davis should be more appreciated.
She's a voice actress for Sentai Filmworks in Houston. She's never been to any cons, has no Facebook page, and I doubt she knows that she has fans.
It ****ing sucks that she's not known enough.

The whole idea that a character has to be likeable is overrated.

Boy meets world is extremely overrated. It was only slightly amusing, but the praise it gets is unheard of. And I'm not talking in comparrison to say sitcoms like Seinfeld. I mean just within the tgif lineup. The fact that they have a spin off coming up is extremely baffling to me.
Also, Tapanga isn't that hot....that's right! Get mad,bro!!

The whole idea that a character has to be likeable is overrated. This concept drives me crazy. It is one thing if they try and make a character likable and fail, but with a movie like District 9 where the lead is not supposed to be liked, well, if you don't like them they have done their job.

Honestly I really do hope that after a couple more seasons The Ultimate Fighter gets canned because the show has long outlived its purpose and at times does little more than perpetuates the worst stereotypes of MMA and its fighters.

-Ready to Rumble is an awesome movie
-Skyfall was horrible, Casino Royale was boring, QOS was the best of the Daniel Craig Bond movies. Daniel Craig is an extremely dull Bond and might be the worst Bond actor I've seen. (I haven't seen many Bond films or the guy who played Bond for one movie)
