I tried to read the Twilight saga when my friend bought the books when they came out. My mom even read them with her so I was excited since we kind of did young adult fiction book club unofficially, but every time I'd try to read it it felt like I was reading something written by someone who hadn't finished college. I don't know if I'm describing this the right way, but it was written in such a sloppy manner that I couldn't get past the first few chapters. I watched the movies later and found them to be extremely dull as well. I only watched because Rami Malek is in them.

british soap operas. casts of borderline retarded characters getting into bullshit drama, shot and edited in a way that seems designed to lobotomise the viewers. if they embraced the fact that they're pure shit and went for a full spectacle i'd forgive them, but soaps are hung up on being a kind of public service/social good that raises awareness of whatever issues the writers have chosen to plod through that week, so fat chance of them actually trying to entertain you over the preaching. drives me up the fucking wall that I have to watch them while visiting family.

I found Baldur’s Gate really, really, really fucking boring. I wish I didn’t spend $60 on it just because I got swept up in the hype.
>>515173People literally only like Star Wars for nostalgia reasons. I’m a complete unapologetic Star Wars freak and I know they are mid. They are goofy kids movies and nothing more

>>515173I like Star Wars but I really didn't get the hype for a bunch of the more recent TV shows like Andor and Ahsoka. There are so many drawn out shots of people just standing around and talking about junk nobody cares about and the characters are deeply uninteresting. Even when there's a high stakes situation I'm just thinking so what, let him die lol. Mandalorian was the only one that I liked.
I think it might be like
>>515226 says, they always worked best as wacky space fights for kids and the new stuff trying to be all serious and emotional just falls flat. They're very obviously trying to capitalize on nostalgia from a more mature audience but it just doesn't work for me because I don't want to watch "old iconic character reflects on themes of war trauma with a team of literal whos", I want to see wacky space fights

Inception - was so underwhelmed by this film, genuinely felt like it lasted for 4 hours.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, didn't see the rest. It was the first time I fell asleep at the cinema, The Dark Knight Rises was the second. The scene with dwarves barging in Bilbo's house was funny but I don't remember much after. To be fair, I drank wine right before the movie, but I was never even curious about the other films even though I really loved the book as a kid. I didn't like that they made some dwarves so "sexy", plus they changed the story, and it was so unnecessary. I didn't drink before The Dark Knight Rises so there're no excuses for this snoozefest.
Blade runner 2049 - to be honest, I didn't even see it fully, only the last third part on tv, just recently. It was plain boring, nothing more to add.
The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov. I liked some parts, mostly with Behemoth the cat and Korovyev, but the rest was so underwhelming. I expected so much more. First time I read it, I skipped over the parts with Yeshua entirely. Second time, I had to read it because it was for school. I didn't care for Margarita and the Master at all. It was a long time ago but I highly doubt that my perception would change.
Skyrim - it's just dungeons full of skeletons and it's so dull. I didn't finish the game.
Lana Del Rey - it's not that I don't listen to anything slow or melancholic, but her music is an absolute snoozefest. Surely I don't like a lot of other music, but I wouldn't even mention it if she wasn't so popular. I genuinely don't get it. The sound of her phlegmatic voice makes me want to roll my eyes every time I hear it.

>>516572I didn't like the Master and Margarita either, nona. I could see why it was such a loved reactionary book (and why it was overblown by 2016 tumblr hipsters) but I couldn't power through it. It was so deeply boring to me, despite being able to understand what made it good. I didn't find its irony charming and I think everyone praising its whimsy probably flew over the implied bleak parts. The fact that it was distributed underground is impressive however, with Bulgakov hiding the manuscripts in his walls I think.
To that I raise you One Hundred Years of Solitude. I have never met one person who has finished this book. Despite its beauty it was so profoundly boring to me, almost like its artistry couldn't quite make up for its pointlessness. Maybe I just didn't get it, because I know this book is important to a lot of people, but I've seriously never met anyone who finished it let alone liked it. Unlike The Master I genuinely can't tell what people like about this book except the prose and maybe LatAm nostalgia. Such a beautiful title wasted on such a droning book.
I also find Lana boring, but in this repetitive, same-old way. It's all about being young and pretty and desired and having a geriatric boyfriend. Whatever. This dynamic and delusional self-perception always felt so insecure and boring to me, I couldn't even waste my time disliking it. It honestly meant nothing to me.

I just felt the angry drooling of 10,000 reddit moids, same goes for pulp fiction.

>>515173I've watched all of them except the third of the OG trilogy
My god they are all so fucking boring especially the prequels which my friend begged me to watch with her since she loves them for some reason (I don't even get it from a nostalgia standpoint since we're both 25, way past the point where it would be nostalgic for either of us)

>>516584as a long time DQ enjoyer, i agree you have to be in certain mindset to enjoy it. for me, i associate it with childhood adventures and such. besides, i adore the sense of humor and lightness the series has. it's very old school narratively-wise. i guess it never caught up on western territories because when RPGs got popular in the late 90s, DQ7 pretty much arrived DOA, with its quirks and long ass 100hrs of gameplay. tbh, i found out lately that i enjoy slow/leisurely paced rpgs, as i tried getting back into Xenoblade and it pretty much fried my brain.

>>516590nona, i loved Xeno 1 (the Definitive edition is excellent) and 3, but is a completely different vibe from DQ. as you say, they are slow games. and for anyone who just wants to play a game for an hour or so, no one can be arsed to wait 2 or so hours until you get a sliver of entertainment out of it. DQ11 made me cry like a baby on game reset, so that means you need to play it twice (!!) to get the whole package, and that's around 110hrs. that's clearly no instant satisfaction, as none of the elements of the game (story, combat, etc) caters to that. as for Golden Sun, i liked the second one better for some reason? they are very similar to Lufia, Lufia 2 being one of my fave rpgs of all time. it's very "go from town to dungeon to town etc etc" type of game, but i think the appeal of the first one might be that the characters are more on the lawful heroic type than the second one.
