skinzfan4life Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 WEll i disagre, my daughter can werar whatever she wants, but thats because she isnt going to be allowed to leave the house. hahah. I do think its gross, my sister pays $$$$ for shirts with about as much material as a sock. And they have to be as low cut as possible and as high, exposing the most belly as possible.

TheKurp Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Music-wise, nothing gets my dander up more than to hear Jimmy Buffett. Why, when people are asked to name island music, do they utter the name Buffett? Get a fvcking clue! Repeat after me, "Jimmy Buffett is a country music singer." The topic of one's songs do not a genre make. You parrotheads make me wanna puke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Man there is alot of stuff that some of y'all "don't get" that I do. At the same time, there's alot of stuff I totally agree with. I don't get bluegrass. It all sounds the same, usually starts with the same lick and follows the same progressions. Most bluegrass singers sound pretty annoying too. Don't get me wrong, there are bluegrass "stylists" out there that I love like Bela Fleck and those chicks (can't remember their name) but people will tell you they aren't bluegrass. I don't get sushi. I don't get nu-metal. I don't get nu-punk. I don't get nu-garage rock. I don't get the Eagles of course. I REALLY don't get them. But moreso, I don't get why I like all their individual solo stuff. Why do I like Don Henly solo? WHY?:paranoid: Glen Frey, Joe Walsh???? I don't get Ted Nugent. I don't get why Keith Richards isn't dead yet. I don't get low-carb sodas, when diet sodas have no carbs. I don't get dudes who wear ridiculous amounts of cologne. I don't get wife-beaters. I don't get why I can keep going about all this stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinthePRF Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Hip hop car fashion. a. First you take a $900 dollar car like a beat up 93 Monte Carlo b. You ignore the 17 year old paint job sometimes treated with primer to contain the rust. c. You buy $400 dollar rims, spinning if possible. d. You buy a $200 tint job. e. And finally a stereo you can feel coming before you actually hear music. In fact the first thing you hear is the license plate violently preparing to rattle off the car. Why is it important to pour all your money into c-e before addressing a & b? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDane Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I like Buffett. Not because it's island music, but because it makes me happy when I'm drunk. Sushi is probably one of those "get" or "don't get" ones. Not many people "kind of" get it. If you do, you quickly end up in one of the other categories owing to delicious meal or green faced barfage. I don't get sad movies. I'd rather not spend my time and money watching something for two hours that will leave me depressed or angry. Sappy chick-flicks, sometimes fine. Sad movies, no.

But what qualifies as a sad movie? I think there are some really sad movies that can discuss important issues and/or make us think about ourselves. Something like a 'Deer Hunter' is worthwhile in this regard. Are you talking about stuff like 'Dancing with Boys' or 'Steel Magnolias'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean a movie where the whole movie is thick on pulling emotion strings, and culminates in an ending that still leaves you depressed or angry. I can understand the cinematic skill and talent, but why one would want to spend two hours and $9 to subject ones' self to that, I just don't get it. Eye candy and entertainment, that's what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example Requiem for a Dream is a very sad film, but its message is very anti-drug. Its an inspirational film in that regard, one of my favorites. If you dont see a point to serious sad films, then maybe your not looking deep enough. There is almost always a point for sadness in movies, in the serious ones anyway. Of course people dont watch it just to be sad, we watch them to be inspired, entertained, and/or even preached to. For example, The Green Mile is a 'sad' film but it offers much more than that. Its a story that touches millions of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 The Godfather is probably the single greatest movie ever made. The direction is perfect, the script is nearly flawless, the casting and acting is superb. If you don't think watching Michael Corleone's transformation from an all american boy to a mob lord is compelling, I don't know what else to say. I don't get SUVs. They are ugly, gas guzzling jokes. The ride is rough, they flip over too easily, and they cost twice as much as they should. Everytime I see one, all I can think is that the person driving it is a sucker for Detroit advertising.

The Evil Genius Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Some people who pay for Hummers aren't necessarily thinking with their brain. Oh, wait....you mean Hummers are also autos? Another thing I don't get are people that come up to you and ask if they can "ask you a question". Didn't they just do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. And I like Micheal Jackson. cmon man, name me one artist that can dance and sing like Michael.
