    I think Johnny Depp is a very overrated actor and a bit of a one trick pony


    Agree totally. He's also responsible for portraying two of the more annoying characters of modern times- Willie Wonka and whatever his character is in Alice in Wonderland :mad:

    I think organised religion should be banned and all the people who believe in it are just simpleton sheep who cannot think for themselves..

    So there...............

    All that CSI, Criminal Minds, Law & Order etc etc stuff is ABSOLUTE SH1TE.

    Boring, overly glossy, unrealistic, poorly acted RUBBISH.

    Some gay rights & civil rights campaigners enjoy being downtrodden & spend their days seeking socially conservative views to be horrified by.
    Some minorities even feel they need a national day set aside to focus on their perceived injustice.
    Someone should tell them they won, it happened about 10 years ago, even Obama doesn't fear the backlash anymore, are they waiting for a final whistle or something ?.

    I care more about profits for Shannon airport and investment for the Mid-West then possible concerns over what the CIA are doing and who is on those planes

    All protesting would achieve is those flights and then the flights of troops go elsewhere

    The mid-west needs that business more then they need us

    'Foetus' are/were greatly underrated.

    I despise this pretentious tripe, and it get's played everywhere, EVERYWHERE.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59 ✭✭ChubbyRunner


    I love that song!

    I think people who adopt kids from overseas are selfish, kids aren't like fashion accessories.

    Yeah, better to leave them languish in an orphanage, rather than adopt them and give them the chance to live with a loving family in another country.

    C'mere. Info?

    she also had archaic views on womens rights and abortion, and believed poverty and suffering was a path to heaven.

    I'm not a big fan of the song either but how is it pretentious?

    Semi coherent mumbling of such superb lyrics as "you can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness", coupled with a kumbayah-esque refrain as a chorus makes me loathe it. The music video symbolising the colour or *sigh* beauty draining from him after breaking up renders it pretentious for me but people seem to love it and it's played everywhere when you're out too.

    I'm no authority on break up themed songs but imo it belongs in the 'Meh' category.

    So there...............

    This is not an unpopular opinion here on AH.

    Now my really unpopular opinion is that what you say is nonsense....particularly the part about banning organised religion.

    you do realise that most of the time the videos for songs have nothing to do with the songs themselves...? and that they're made a very long time after the song is written / recorded...? and often the singer/writer(s) have no input into the video that's made for a song..?

    Oh good lord don't even mention it, once you've heard it once you've heard it 10,000 times.

    That is because the church is losing support and nothing brings the sheep together like a good sainthooding.

    Agreed. But looking at the video and considering the amount of time it took to film it, I'm sure there's some meaning to it and Gotye himself would have had some input to the 'theme' of the video when spending such an amount of time making the video.

    My interpretation would be that he is filled with colour and after a break up he is drained of said colour and left bare and naked. How original and pretentious. An unpopular opinion. :o

    I get what you're saying but I don't see how it's pretentious. Silly,pointless maybe but pretentious how?

    Will Ferrell isn't that funny, Blades of Glory was alright but I don't find him funny most of the time.
