Re: Destroy Your Geek Cred!!
I can't remember the last time I read a new fantasy or SF novel.
I read the first Amber book and thought it was drek, so I didn't read any further.
I read the first Elric book and thought it started brilliantly and turned into utter drek by the end. Didn't read any more.
Didn't make it through the first Harry Potter book. Trite writing, even for the target age. (Dig the movies, though.)
Didn't make it through the first Thomas Covenant book. Terrific writing, loved the main character, the generic fantasy world bored me to tears.
Didn't make it through the first Song of Fire and Ice book. Twice. Terrific writing, loved the characters, woefully underdeveloped storylines. (Loved the TV show though.)
Can't stand metal music of any stripe.
Can't stand musical stage shows, particularly the music.
Terrible at video games. Rarely play them.
Enjoyed The Dark Knight but couldn't care less about the next one.
Bored to tears by zombies, vampires and werewolves.
Bored by most comic books. Bored by most anime.
Bored by The X-Files. Never watched any Stargate show. Watched and enjoyed the first two seasons of nBSG, but apparently didn't care enough to continue.
Thought Buffy was awful, even though I reviewed the whole series episode by episode on another board, and even pretended to like it. You couldn't make me watch Angel with a Clockwork Orange setup.
I'm addicted to this forum but never read the actual Hero web site. Apparently they're shutting down or something? Is the forum going away?
