huge disapointments - movies, music, books, whatever

[The artist formally known]

i'd actually probably like it if i was in the right mindset. I was not in the mood for something depressing or serious when i popped it in.

I will never be able to love Superbad like everyone else though, I just thought it was ok

I thought it was going to be awful but my friend said it was great and he played it for me. I thought it was actually one of the best comedies I've seen.

I pretty much hate all "comedy" movies though, most aren't funny.

Zoolander (why people love this, I don't know)

fuck you

Superbad

fuck you

Harry Potter 7

fuck you

Hail To the Thief

It takes a while to warm up to. After In Rainbows came out I went into a phase of hating it, but now I've come to accept that it's a flawed album with a bunch of great songs.

Rush's Snakes and Arrows

It's not completely terrible, but it is mediocre.

That's what I thought when it first came  out, but after seeing Rush twice and giving it a few more good listens I'm really starting to appreciate it.

I think Neil should show off a hell of a lot more.

As if he doesn't already show off enough

Harry Potter 7
Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald

For most dissappointments, I don't expect much in the first place, so they don't count. I'm gonna guess that Metallica's new album will dissappoint me, but there I go again, I already expect little.

<I>Punch-Drunk Love. Just annoyed the hell out of me. A shame, since it's P.T. Andersen.

[Houdini]

Fuck it, make a complete drum solo album.

As if all Rush albums weren't

Fuck it, make a complete drum solo album.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaawwnnn.

Hellboy III

That hasn't even come out yet.

I know there's a whole board about the vidya already, but since I'm not that much into the other medias and since there's only one big gaming disappointment I can think of here it is:

Baten Kaitos.

Holy shit. The strangest thing is that I actually liked the battle system, but I just REALLY couldn't get into the story. It was soporific.

Harry Potter 7

I agree with it being a disappointment but your reasons are not exactly why it was so disappointing. For one, it seemed rushed, like JK was just trying to kill off some minor characters and have them all have a somewhat happy ending, the wandlore in this book is heavy and unnecessary, she should have just pushed the Love is Evil's greatest enemy angle instead of this force fed, wands only obey those if it is stripped from the previous owner crap. The ending overall was not that great, Harry's face-off with Voldemort was very anticlimactic and did was not as good as it could have been.

Books 1-4 were good, but books 5-7 started to lose it's steam (Maybe because the popularity for them were at an all-time high and the fame could have gone to JK's head...), with the exception of Order of the Phoenix because I enjoyed the kids being slaughtered by the Death Eaters, but even then, the fact that Harry was able to teach an entire class the Patronus charm was a bit cheap seeing as it was passed off as "advanced magic".

Wolf Parade's Kissing the Beehive. Its good yeah, but I didn't like it nearly as much as Apologies To The Queen Mary

I think Rowling just stop putting any effort into her writing because she knew her books would sell millions whether or not the were any good. 7 in particular feels like she phoned it in.
