Quote:A few of mine:


Kevin Smith movies-


Not a fan. In fact I think they are corny and unenjoyable. I just don't get it. I consider myself somewhat of a movie snob and many other film buffs will swear that Kevin Smith movies are great, and I just don't get it. Wish I did, but I don't.


Jay-Z-


Most overrated rapper of all time. He's okay, but all the talk about him being one of the greatest of all time is laughable. He's Eddie George. Nice little career, deserves mentioning if the subject of running the ball (or rapping) comes up, but is outclassed by many. Mediocre skills, okay flow, okay production- not great at anything. His image has surpassed his reality. People says he's a GOAT because people have heard he's a GOAT, and the myth has perpetuated itself.


Black jelly beans-


They are delicious and I don't want to hear anything otherwise. End of story.


Thoughts on minez? Got some unpopular opinions of your own? Let's hear 'em.

I agree with all of yours - but I suppose we are in the minority.  

 

Other unpopular opinions... hmmmmm.....  let's see.....

 

I love Amtrak.  I love traveling by train.   If I don't have to be in a hurry and they have a route to my destination I'll take a train anytime. It's usually cheap to upgrade to "business class" or something comparable and you can roam comfortably to the dining and bar car and there's always a quiet section to avoid kiddos and cell phone talkers and unwanted conversationalists.  I have to fly about 20 times a year and on the rare occasion I can go by train it's a luxury. 

 

I wish the US had a better rail system.  I'd utilize it more often. 

 

Truffles.  Don't like  'em.    I'm quite the "foodie" and living in NYC and traveling abroad has afforded me the opportunity to try a wide variety of cuisine and gain an appreciation of fine cuisine.  I've even taken to the kitchen quite aggressively over the past 7 years or so - learning the craft a bit. 

Still....  I don't get the fuss over this flavor.  When I'm reading a menu and see something I like only to read on and see the words "truffled" or "in truffle oil" etc - I'm disappointed.  Why people will pay hundreds to have them shaved over a risotto I'll never understand.
