Mine:

1. Food? Anything "just like mom used to make.. My mom can't cook for shit.

2. Actor? Meryl Streep. She's a fine actress, but after her recent work I never thought I'd get nostalgic for her "accent of the week" performances.

3. Band or Singer? Luciano Pavarotti. He's an OK tenor of the bleating, "I go loud and quiet but have no musical expression" sort, but that's about it.

4. Law firm? Shearman. This surprised me. I've cribbed their documents from Edgar for models, because they often produce lovely written product. But then I was on a deal with them and DAMN - just stupid fuck-up after stupid fuck-up. Along the lines of blowing issues that they should have picked up on had they read the NY Times anytime in the last 3 years or done a google search on their client. Maybe the morale problems finally warped their fragile little minds.

5. Occupation? Attorney. I think this is the correct answer, but I toyed with "mother" for a long, long time.

6. Movie? Schindler's List. Emotionally manipulative kitch. The fact that the subject matter was so serious and shouldn't have needed such transparent, manipulative tactics only makes their use more insulting and condescending.

7. Song? Anything by the Beatles. Yeah, whatever, they were revolutionary, stretching musical horizons. Whatever. Madonna should be up there, too, but only because of all the bullshit feminist interpretations.

8. TV Show? Reality? West Wing. Boring and self-important as shit. Unwatchable crap. Allows coastal elites to engage in their favorite fantasies of utopian leadership without having to actually make any effort, like to convince people or deal with reality.

9. Article of clothing or accessory? Sunglasses. You're just going to sit on them by accident anyway.

10. Sexual position or activity? Stripping. I mean, come on. At least lap dancing has some sort of pay-off. Unless its justified as a male bonding experience (in which case, sports is cheaper), stripping I just don't get. Look but don't touch just is so ... self defeating.

1. Chilean seabass. What you get in most restaurants is neither Chilean nor bass. It's monkfish.

2. Ben Affleck. He was decent in Good Will Hunting (of course he was - he was playing a kid from Southie). Thereafter, he proved he's a better writer/producer than actor.

3. Blink 182. Suck onstage, decent in studio. Next is Mariah Carey.

4. I agree with the others - Wachtell. My experiences with them have shown them to be less than impressive.

5. Commentating on a red carpet.

6. Titanic or The English Patient (snooooooooooze). And I am blanking on another movie that was big about 2 years ago, but I just can't bring myself to ever finish it (after renting it once and seeing it on tv a couple times) and all my friends seem to have loved it. I think it was a comedy... maybe action.... Oh well.

7. Your Song. Sung in every damn talent show, every damn high school dance, every karaoke night. It's quite peculiar - can it now be done?

8. Friends. I don't care about any characters, find them horribly unfunny and unentertaining, and they can't even follow their own lives - doesn't Rachel have a baby now? Why is she always looking fresh and dewy, and never has it around? (note - saw it last Thursday for the second time in 3 years)

1. Food: Sushi. Among healthy foods, it is okay, but if calories aren't an issue I can name a million things I would rather eat before Sushi popped into my head. Why people go out of their way for this stuff is beyond me.

2. Actor: Christian Slater. Everything he does sucks.

3. Band: Creed.

4. Law Firm: Simpson Thacher. I worked on a deal with them once. For their sake I really hope it was their B-Team, but given the size of the deal, I doubt it.

5. Occupation: Gynecologist. A friend of my dad was a gyno. He said most of the women that come in aren't women you would want to see naked.

6. Movie: The Brothers McMullen. Some okay dialogue, but it shouldn't get nearly the attention that it has gotten.

7. Song: Anything by Madonna or Michael Jackson.

8. TV Show: The Bachellor/ette. I watched an episode once. Borrrrrrrriinnnnng. A bunch of emotional cripples and a guy with no personality. This is not must-see tv.

9. Article of Clothing: women: Shoes. I can identify one pair of my ex's shoes--because I was with her when she bought them and she made a big deal about them. I can't think of any date that I have ever been on where I noticed a woman's shoes. Why would you even notice her shoes unless you are a sad sack with no self confidence who walks with his head down?

Men: Any item of jewelry except for a watch. You end up looking like a middle-eastern cab driver the day after his first big paycheck.

10. Sexual position: Standing up.

1. Food: pork chops - never liked em. All other pork is heaven.
2. Actor: Dustin Hoffman - Real acting is NOT using a crutch like autism, blindness, [enter physical/mental disability here]. Ditto for Pacino in Scent of a Woman (although I'm a huge Pacino fan, it's really not THAT difficult to act like you're blind). Real acting should show range.
3. Singer: Madonna. Terrible voice. I give her credit for FOOLING THE ENTIRE WORLD though. Ditto with Eminem - he's Dre's biggest practical joke on white suburbia.
4. Law firm: I really don't pay enough attention.
5. Occupation: Cops. Heroes my ass. Lazy pieces of shit.
6. Movie: Resevior Dogs. While it's a good movie, wannabe "hip" people always claimed it was better than Pulp Fiction just b/c it received less press. Bullshit. Not even close.
7. Song: American Pie. Kill me.

1. Food: Chicken. Chicken doesn't taste like anything. If it's supposed to be made of veal, it should be made with veal. Not chicken. Feh.

2. Actor: Ben Affleck. I know it's piling on, but he's completely overrated. I am so glad he's marrying Jennifer Lopez, who must be the world's most overrated former flygirl. Overrated and more successful: Tom Cruise. Does he act as anything other than Tom Cruise.?

3. Band or Singer: Too broad. Let's just say in 18 months all of the Strokes fans will deny their fan posts . . . but don't feel bad. It's the nature of the business. Also, Norah Jones. I enjoy her voice and her simple arrangements, but she is not the second coming. The singer I have always hated and considered overrated for years: Macy Gray. I hope you all are embarrassed to own that cd. Yeah, sure, it's your wife's . . .

4. Lawfirm: too new york-centric. Prior to their collapse, it was Brobeck.

5. Occupation: VP for business development. Great when things are great, unemployed with zero skills when the market turns down.

6. Movie: the English Patient. It was unwatchable. Second, Gladiator. It was a decent movie, but overly long and incredibly dull in places. In short, overrated. See also, Titanic.

7. Song: Song? Most songs are crap. I'll go with Eminem's Stan for being overrated.

8. TV Show: Bachelor. Unwatchable. It's so boring and nothing ever happens. See also, Mr. Personality. Non-reality: CSI.

9. Article of Clothing: ugg boots. They are ugly.

10. Sexual position/activity: tantric. It's just unnatural.

I'm going to try and stick with the theme of overrated, rather than just going with "things I hate," which seems to be what a lot of people are doing.

1. Food - Sushi. It SOOOO bland. I like my food to taste like something. It's just a snobby fad, if you ask me.
2. Actor/Actress - Sandra Bullock. How this woman can get by playing the same fucking character (herself) in every film and still get scripts sent to her is beyond me.
3. Band or Singer - J. Lo. She sucks, people. Please stop buying her albums. Close second - Enrique Eglasias (sp?). And no, I don't have anything against latin singers.
4. Law Firm - All of them. No lawyer is as good as em thinks em is, and no law firm is as good as it's "reputation."
5. Occupation - Chiropractor. I can't believe these quacks conned the insurance industry into covering their "services."
6. Movie - Titanic. How I watched that show without laughing the first time is beyond me.
7. Song - Stairway to Heaven. Don't get me wrong, I admire Led Zepplin, but this is NOT one of their better songs.
8. TV Show - Frasier. How this fucking show keeps winning awards is beyond me. Seriously.
9. Article of clothing - Anything by Ralph Lauren/Kennth Cole/Calvin Klein/Tommy Hilfager or any other similarly situated designers. These companies turn out $20 Target-quality shirts and charge $70 for them because of their name? I don't think so.
10. Sexual position/activity - masturbating. the real thing is way better.

1. Food - processed cheese spread. Sure sports arenas make $$$$ off of it, but come on, it aint even real cheese. Moreover, it makes already fat people even fatter. I have never know someone, after eating it, say "man, that was so good, let's go get some more!" Unless they're stoned and then all bets are off.

2. Actor - Charleston Heston. Just look at what he's doing now!

3. Band/Singer - Steely Dan. How can anyone honestly say that music is rock and roll? MUSAK is all it is and nauseating at that.

4. Law Firm - Any law firm that thinks it can intimidate based on its name alone. Fuck 'em.

5. Occupation - Lawyer, especially those that think they can intimidate based on their law school. Fuck 'em.

6. Movie - Any non-satiric movie that shows so much gratuitous violence that the viewer becomes numb to death and human suffering.

7. Song - Rap. Can you believe that the kids listen to that crap?

8. TV Show - Any non-cartoon sitcom. What a fucking waste of 30 min.

9. Article of clothing - cumberbund (cummerbund). Useless. Put the theater tickets in your fucking pocket.

Food: Anything "organic". Isn't all food, by definition, organic? Why would I want freaking bugs in my food? And what's wrong with technology? Zap it, I don't care.

Band or singer: Michael (mullet) Bolton. Sheesh. He screeches rather than sings and HIS HEAD IS COVERED WITH PUBIC HAIR. Nobody wants to see THAT.
Law firm: Wilson.
Occupation: Doctor. Blood, phlegm, snot, vomit? No thank you.
Movie: It's a Wonderful Life. I am so sick of that movie and the sappy happy ending and the little bells ringing. Makes me understand completely why Elvis used tv sets for target practice.
Song: Hey, Jude. Blech. Who the fuck is Jude anyway?
TV Show: Friends. I HATE THAT SHOW.
Article of clothing: Panties. Who needs em? They just creep up your ass or make lines under your clothes or generate extra laundry expense. They detract from the simple pleasure of a breezy summer day. They wind up in little wads stuffed in some guy's back seat or glove box.
Sexual position or activity: Back door sex, not my thing. NTTAWWT.

Is this poll about OVERRATED or merely things that SUCK? I ask because I don't understand how George Hamilton - derided as a joke at every turn - is overrated. anyway...

1) Lobster and Caviar are fantastic. You guys are nuts. TRUFFLES, however, are costlier than both and offer little to me.
2) Sad to say, but ROBERT DeNIRO. Since the Godfather II, he's done [what feels like] 5 movies every single year playing the exact same character - the only difference is whether he's the "Mean" tough guy or the "Funny" tough guy. Or both. And his pal Marty needs to tell him one of these days that he doesn't need to do every damn movie he's offered.
3) Babs. I just don't get it.
4) Rather than say law firm - I'd rather say "law graduates" And hands down, this goes to HARVARD GRADS. Almost every one I ever worked with treated their assignment as if it was beneath them, and all had a chip on their shoulder that they didn't get into Yale. And yes, I was too dumb to go to Harvard.
5) STOCKBROKERS. Never before has a profession let so many ignoramuses make so much fucking money.
6) I do not how you can critcize Kane as it deserves all the praise it receives. Truly a remarkable, cutting edge and incendiary film. "Schindler's List" was already mentioned, but I second its nomination. Picking recent overrated Best Picture winners is far too easy, since they all were. So I'll just go with Gone With the Wind. Sprawling - yes. Timeless - yes. But the acting was hammy, even by 1939's standards.
7) Toss up between Yesterday by the Beatles and Satisfaction by the Stones. Two songs routinely touted as two of the greatest of all time by two of the greatest artists of all time. Greatest Artists clearly, but I can think of 25 songs by each band better than these tunes.
8) ANYTHING on HBO It's fascinating to watch critics drool all over themselves over repetitive and retarded dreck like Sopranos [sucked since Season 1], SATC [only thing making watching that SJP witch tolerable is seeing Kim's tits week after week], 6 Feet Under [wow, people die and people are gay. Wild] and OZ [gee, what can we get away with this week]. All highly overrated, if not totally awful
9) BOXER SHORTS. They cut off circulation in your quads and leave VBL in your pants.
10) Okay, call me a heretic but Blow Jobs are highly overrated. Most girls use so much teeth its outright painful, and others just ain't doing it right. Can you please take off your pants and let's cut to the chase?

OCCUPATION: Actor. Why do we think that some self-absorbed shlub from your high school play is qualified to provide moral or intellectual leadership?

"TANTRIC SEX is meditative, spontaneous and intimate lovemaking Through it you learn to prolong the act of making love and to channel, rather than dissipate. potent orgasmic energies moving through you, thereby raising the level of your consciousness. Tantra transports your sexuality from the plane of doing to the place of being. There is no goal in Tantric sex, only the present moment of perfect and harmonious union. Tantra teaches you to revere your sexual partner and to transform the act of sex into a sacrament of love.

Tantra teaches that lovemaking between a man and woman, when entered into with awareness, is a gateway to both sexual and spiritual ecstasy. In India, traditional Tantrikas spent many years under the guidance of a spiritual teacher and engaged in elaborate yogic rituals to purify and master the body and mind. These practices were intended to awaken the powerful psychic energies through which the adept could enter into higher states of consciousness When a disciple was deemed ready he or she partook in sexual rites with a partner.

Through the sacred act of love, they sought to merge the dual nature of their sexuality into an ecstatic union. Through this came the harmonization of their own internal masculine and feminine polarities and a realization of the blissful nature of the Self."

4. Law Firm -- Jones Day. You're big. You've got a monster PR machine. Your heart is still in Cleveland.

6. Movie -- The Matrix. Ted's mediocre adventures through the heating duct. Which color pill do I take to forget how much air has been wasted discussing this piece of shit?

7. Song -- I Like Big Butts. Who cares?

8. TV Show -- Anything reality, unless it's CNN or MSNBC. The only thing more offensive than the fact that networks are making tons of money cramming shite down our throats is the fact that the shite costs them next to nothing to make.

9. Article of clothing -- The necktie. It serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, except for its proven tendency to restrict the flow of oxygen to the brain. For women, platform shoes. There's a reason clowns wear them, dearies.

10. Sexual activity -- Monogamy. After twenty plus years with the same woman, I'm convinced that monogamy is God's way of making sure we don't live long enough to overpopulate the planet. Men die younger than women because for crap's sake they can't wiat to be reborn and FINALLY get some fresh.

I suspect that you and Not_Discerning are mistaking "overrated" for "I have no idea where it stood when it was current, but we don't like it now". You both probably dislike the Red Skelton Show, too.

As E/O said earlier, Feh.

I have no idea what "feh" means, but the pure sound of it adequately captures my feelings for such a dismissal of Lucy or Ralph. I suppose the Wright Brothers' plane was pretty much a piece of crap by today's standards, too, but, when we rate its importance and meaning and significance, we don't expect it to race the Concord to Paris. We look to it in context, in its own context. Lucy and Ralph both brought an entirely new and untested mode of comedy to the masses, and they did it well.

Again, Feh.

Ok, I have to admit that "Not_Discerning" amused me.

While your "context" criticism might have some merit, I have to say that I like seeing old Honeymooners episodes. And Red, and Unlce Miltie, and Ernie Kovacs, for that matter. And I acknowledge that Desilu Studios was a fine thing (didn't they bring us the Dick Van Dyke show?), and the show was influential -- absolutely.

Notwithstanding all this, I get annoyed by watching the show. And I get annoyed when people *today* (well, not May 5, 2003, but you know what I mean) tell me how funny they think I Love Lucy is, or how much they love seeing it on Nick at Nite.

And I really think it was my Led Zeppelin/Stairway remarks that incurred your wrath. :bow2:
