Advertised movies (1)

Let me go on the record to say that I have the absolute worst taste in movies. All my opinions about movies are wrong.
I always know which movies to not see: the ones that are advertised on 770 WABC radio. I haven't seen any of them yet, and I know I'm doing the right thing. The ones they've advertised include Cold Mountain, Million Dollar Baby, Sideways, and Brokeback Mountain. All these have won big-time awards and are critically acclaimed. The commercials have such positive things to say about these movies that I just know I won't like them. I don't like movies that win awards or change people's lives. An award-winning movie is a bad movie. The term "critically acclaimed" means nothing to me. If movies like Napoleon Dynamite and Office Space don't win critical acclaim, I don't like movies that critics acclaim.
I have pretty particular tastes when it comes to movies. This shouldn't come as a surprise; I'm pretty opinionated about everything. I like movies that are stupidly funny, like Dumb and Dumber. I like movies with a big twist at the end, like every one of M. Night Shyamalan's movies. I like movies that are unnecessarily action-packed, like the Bourne Identity and XXX (Triple X). #entertainment

It sounds like you and I have similar movie taste (or lack thereof ;-).)
To me, Dumb and Dumber is a classic. So is Caddyshack.
Brandy (my gf) on the other hand has totally different movie taste. She is all about the films with cultural meaning (usually other cultures.) At least she and I both like LOTR :-)
