Movies I've Missed

Last night, I was working with a couple and the wife tells me that they're about to go see a movie, that she'd convinced her husband to go see one with her. He was embarrassed that he'd agreed to go see a 'chick flick', but it was okay to tell someone he didn't know that he was about to see Sex and the City.

It made me think about this one. Why? Because I've never seen a single episode of the show. So, today, I list movies/shows I have never seen and you can laugh at my geekiness! They'll be all across the board, I'm just looking at lists of the most popular movies of the past 10 years

Movies I have never seen:
Titanic
Fast and the Furious
Austin Powers (any of them)
The Matrix
Gladiator
Rush Hour (either)
Oceans 11 or 12
Signs
any of the Spider Man Movies
War of the Worlds
any of the Bourne Movies

By virtue of the fact that I've never seen the tv show, I doubt I'll be seeing Sex and the City:the Movie.

TV shows I've never seen. Like the movie list, it's only a partial listing!

Sex and the City
Lost
Family Guy
Heroes
Desperate Housewives
So, You Think You Can Dance?
Dancing With the Stars
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Twin Peaks
Sopranos
Six Feet Under
Arrested Development
Farscape (other than Dr. Who, I haven't watched much on Sci Fi)
Jericho
The Bachelor/Bachelorette
Boston Legal
Gray's Anatomy
Big Brother
NCIS
Lipstick Jungle
Scrubs
My Name is Earl

There are a couple of shows that could be on that list, but I caught an episode or part of one, so I didn't add them. I saw one episode of CSI with Bill and maybe a few minutes of Deal or No Deal. I may have seen a total of 5 episodes of American Idol, and 3 of them were because I was traveling for work and couldn't use the internet at the hotel.

Most of the water cooler talk you get at work is about what was watched on TV the night before. I picked up a lot of what was going on that I could comment without actually watching!

What about you? What thing does the majority of the population do/watch that you don't?

Titanic is one of my favorite movies! You can skip out on Sex and the City, but you HAVE to sit down and watch Titanic! I demand it!

As a male, I know what you mean. Since I have absolutely no interest in Football, Baseball, Hockey, Basketball, etc., it leaves very little to talk about when encountering groups of other men. As for movies, it is far safer to assume that I haven't seen it than to assume I have - I just don't go to movies.

IMHO, you are NOT missing anything by not having seen Titanic! I mean no disrespect, but yuck. And that Celine Dion theme song just adds insult to injury! Aack! That being said, I've never seen ANY of the Star Wars or Harry Potter movies! (No interest) I think I might be the only person on the planet to claim THAT dubious distinction! The new SATC movie was wonderful...but if you've never seen the show, (and I don't think you'd care for it, actually) there really IS no reason to see the movie...I've also never seen Dancing with the Stars, OR St. Elsewhere, OR Hill Street Blues, OR Pushing Daisies, OR Two and a Half Men OR...well, almost everything new. Just a news and radio junkie.

I don't think Survivor made yuour list. Though, I've never seen it, I understand it's a classic reality tv show. Personally, I have to admit to watching Dancing with the Stars...I'm a huge Kristi Yamaguchi fan (always have been--since she first came on the scene as a singles and pairs skater with Rudy Galindo)and just had to watch her this season.

I have never watched Lost.

But The Sopranos is one of the best shows ever.

(I haven't seen several of those movies, either.)

Glad that I'm not "Guilty By Association" on this one

I thought I was done with the DISboards stuff, really I did. However, the hypocricy and racism displayed by Webmaster Pete and others on a memorial show is deplorable. Sadly, all it does is show that the man who died is the only one who has some scruples among the staff. I'm awaiting some You Tube links to the entire unedited podcast and then an edited link to just the racism portion. In the meantime, I'm posting the transcript of the 'tribute' to Bob. These were transcribed by a former DISer for me. Thanks. ************************************************************************************* Here is a link to the DIS' podcast page : http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-podcast/ (note, the podcast in question has been removed from the web. It was on YouTube for a couple of days and viewed about 1000 times before being shut down) The following is a transcribed portion of the show that was especially upsetting to many. It began around the 1 hour & 3

Wal Mart Your Zone $500.00 Gift Card Contest!

Note to new visitors-this contest has ended. Thank you. For several months now, I have participated in WalMart 's Beyond Eleven Moms, a collective of bloggers who partner with WalMart to give feedback on products already in stores and ideas about products that the company can offer in their stores. Last month, I was approached to help test out a new product line in the stores. Many retailers offer room decor for youngsters and college students, but affordable furniture, bedding and decor for teens was hard to find. Enter Your Zone ! We were sent a $500.00 WalMart gift card and given a mission: redo a bedroom whatever way you like within that amount for your teen. If you asked me to do it anywhere else, I think I could buy a bed and a dresser and be done. The whole point of Your Zone is that your teen can change things without breaking the bank. First up, let's find a bed! The beds the boys have are the bunk beds we bought at Ikea back when Chef graduated out of a crib.

Webmaster Alex speaks Anonymously

**Please note, this post was written in 2008, over 7 years ago.  This is not current, but remains to detail the DISboards bannings.** The other day, I wrote of my banning from the Disboards, a site I belonged to for six years. I was banned for participating in another site, as were approximately 35 others. The list will be posted further in this entry. If you skip this post because it doesn't mean anything except to the participants, I don't mind. This is mainly out there for the hundreds (over 7,500 now!**) of Google searches that have been directed to my blog since the bannings. Lord knows, anytime anyone asks a question on the Disboards, it'll be poofed faster than you can say "delete." Curiously, I received an anonymous comment that rambled on and on. It rather reminded me of Socrates, my older brother who has delusions of grandeur. When I first read the comment, I thought, "Oh goody, a moderator has come to call me a bully." Wanna re
