Princess Mononoke is brilliant.
South Park is superb, particularly the film.

We appear to have this strange thing going on where we both really like some of the same things, but you mysteriously hate some things that are brilliant.

Yes. Yes we do.
Although I don't think we've come across the reverse yet - something I love that you hate. Maybe you just love everything

nope, I really hate a lot of things, U2 for example
and the Manic Street Preachers.

I'm pretty easily pleased when it comes to films, I'll enjoy most things, but I do really love some.

As I was writing my previous post it occurred to me that we hadn't seen the reverse. Bit odd, but it just might not have come up

Manics are half decent. Like any band some good stuff some toss.
U2 though utter rubbish. My dealer is a huge U2 fan to the extent he didn't go to Glasto when they pulled out. We have countless arguments about it he still has the ltd edition U2 ipod.

nope
agreeing with Vipros here both Manic Street Preachers and U2 are unredeemably shit

Also agreeing here.
EDIT not agreeing with your made-up word 'unredeemably' though. It's 'irredeemably'.

musically they are passable
but fucking hell, the lyrics are the whiniest shit I've ever heard, delivered in the whiniest fucking voice.

"If you tolerate this your children will be next" Fuck right off, you fucking pretentious wankstain.

At least U2 managed to produce some decent stuff at the start of their career.

The Manics were shit even before the only talented one killed himself.

If you like the Manics you cannot say a fucking thing about the quality or not of the Smashing Pumpkins.

^true Smashing Pumpkins are shit.

They are indeed shit.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 11:38, Reply)

That's two things we've agreed on in one thread
But given that the other is Lawrence of Arabia, a yardstick for excellence in films as solid as the Pumpkins are for musical shitness, it might be deemed "likely coincidence"
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 11:41, Reply)

not the point
I merely think they are quite good, but if someone can think that the Manics are anything other than fucking crap their opinion on someone like the Smashing Pumpkins has no weight at all.

someone like the Smashing Pumpkins anything at all
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 11:44, Reply)

well, yes

Bumming men?
Actually Vippers is a big a fan of that as you are. As you were.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 19 Aug 2010, 11:14, Reply)

Ironically, you're right
I'm confident that Vippers and I have bummed the exact same number of men
