It's also why I disliked Dick Cheney.

I hate those.
Diablo style lootathons. I find them incredibly tedious.
CoD style multiplayer military shooters. I also find them, and the people that play them, tedious.
Multi-camera sitcoms with laugh tracks. Every time the fake ass laughter happens, I turn off. Brain just shuts down and I fall into a boredom coma.

Not necessarily hate, but I didn't really enjoy either Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad.
With GoT, I made it through one episode and was just way too confused to continue. Far too many characters, clans, mini-factions, etc, to keep straight. And no, showing me some kind of a flowchart or a link that describes each character/faction will not help. In fact, that just further strengthens my point. It's not the job of flowcharts or whatever to help me get into these characters. It's the show's failure to bombard me with so much.
With Breaking Bad, it's not that I even disliked it. There were times I enjoyed it. But when I finished the first season, I didn't honestly feel compelled at all to continue.

The first, of course.
It didn't help that the friend who watched it with me was an uber-fan (of the show and books), so kept explaining things to me throughout the episode. It was confusing enough trying to keep track of everything without him making it worse.
Three other shows that people love that I'm completely ambivalent towards: Adventure Time, Archer, and Venture Bros.

Your opinion might differ if you read the books. I would by absolutely no means call them high literature. Some of the writing is, honestly, a little sloppy. But they're very engaging and have some pretty good characters. Certainly much better characters (and writing) than Twilight, that's for damn sure.
I dislike Twilight too, but everyone around me seems to love it so much, can't understand why either. Why does everybody like the Twilight series?
Gun ownership.
This isn't a thread to try to convince others that their dislikes are wrong, but I watched Game of Thrones without reading the books (though I did after) and while I had no idea what was going on in the beginning, it turns out that's entirely ok. Because it does a very good job of presenting a living world, and you pick it up as you go along. Kinda like visiting a foreign country, you pick up the people and places as you spend time there.
And then horrible, horrible things happen.
The books start you off the same way, not knowing who or what anything is about.

My opinion of you just went up a notch.
I have no idea. Same thing with 50 Shades of Grey. It's horribly, horribly written - worse than Twilight, and that's saying something. Plus, it's literally Twilight BDSM fan-fiction with renamed characters.
I have friends who love Twilight, but for them, it's a huge guilty pleasure. They're well aware of how bad it is on multiple levels.
The people I know think it's the best vampire books ever, lol.
Are they also teenaged girls? Because no teen has ever had good taste in anything.
And that includes me, I liked shit as a teen. Not like, actual shit, I was never into scatology.
And really, 90% of teen girls (or even some adult girls I know) only like Twilight and other crap because ZOMG CUTE BOYS.
Most didn't get the books till AFTER the first movie. The majority of those who bought the books initially were lonely housewives.
I'm just gonna say that I was the exact same way. The only reason I started season two (months after I finished season one) was because of peer pressure.
It gets a lot better.
No, they're Twilight Mums, in their 30rties or 40rties. And they wish their husband was Edward Cullen or Jacob.
I remember working with this young girl (barely 18 years old) at a video store years ago. I don't remember the actor, but he was in some teen fluff flick. She kept going on about how amazing an actor he was. I asked what made him so great and all she replied with was things like, "Because he's soooooo cute!"
Even worse.

I hate Aaron Neville. I don't know if he's generally popular, but people around here really like him. He has the cheesiest voice, the most obnoxious, fake-sounding vibrato, and growing up in Catholic school we listened to his stupid gross version of "Where you there" during Lent. Blech.
yeah, Twilight Mums are crazier than teenage Twilight fans.
And I also hate Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Star Trek, Twilight and the Hunger Games.
Two actors I actively loathe and refuse to see anything they're involved in: Richard Gere and Catherine Zeta Jones. I have absolutely no idea why in either case, but I can't stand them.

I'll give you the one reason why so many guys seem to like CZJ.
This one scene from Entrapment.
Jennifer Lopez in Steven Soderburgh's "Out of Sight" which is based on an Elmore Leonard novel...................... is better
She gave Michael Douglas cancer... and it was worth it.
