[MrX]

Breaking Bad - damn raw emotional show up until the bell rings

Metallica - been listening to some lately & they are a solid band. 'One' of the greatest live acts I've seen back in the early 90s

iPhones - typing on one as we speak. I like the ITunes interface & syncing. Only thing on my 4S needs better is a stronger battery.

Game Of Thrones - great show. One if my favourites. I like the twisting tides & fortunes. Done of the villians are very engaging. Nice view sometimes too.

Simpsons - only watched it a little when if started. OK. I'm not a dedicated watcher at all.

Star Wars - my first nerdgasm. A New Hope was everything to me. Boba Fett is my hero.

Star Trek - Shatner series probably stoked the fires of my love of Sci-Fi. I'm more of a Star Wars guy, but appreciate there is more Star Trek TV/movie Data out there to get into. I just haven't got the time to watch all of Next Gen, DS9, Voyager & Enterprise.

Angelina Jolie - got a thing for the gaunt Egyptian goddess who sold her soul in vials of blood for her eternal youth. I'll watch any old trash with her in it.

McDonalds - do not like. Too much grease & not enough filling food. I'm a Subway guy.

Leo - he's ok. He chooses good movies to appear in. No slouch. But to me it's too much Hollywood hype that makes me ignore. I'm more of a B movie actor fan in the sense the storytelling is the priority, not someone's face or name.

Cruise - Nutjob of a bloke. Solid actor. again has picked a lot of great roles. Often watch his movies on a sick day for some reason.

Nirvana - OK. Overrated really. Other grunge bands a superior IMO. Never quite got the hero status. Prefer Stone Temple Pilots & Faith No More.

[dragon]

Breaking Bad - great show, one of the besy of the last 10 years.

Metallica - genuine legends, great tunes and give it all live.

Iphones - used to have an Iphone 3, have switched to Samsung these days. No real reason. They all do what I need these days.

Game of Thrones - so good. And pulls no punches as far as violence, sex and swearing goes.

The Simpsons - classic, still watch it and laugh.

Michael Jordan -GOAT. Reason I got into basketball.

Nirvana - massively overrated, Cobain became a God for killing himself. Nevermind was a massive CD, but In Utero was nowhere near as successful (though I petsonally think it's the better CD). Who knows if they would have kicked on if he lived? One super huge album doesn't make you a legend for mine.

Star Wars - my whole childhood. Still love it, even the prequel films despite their flaws. Have read a lot of the expanded universe books.

Star Trek - have gotten into it a bit recently. Like the two recent films, so finally watched some of the originals.

Tom Cruise - like his work mostly. I judge him on that an not his religion.

Leo DiCaprio - have never liked him, but he has improved. Picking great roles since The Departed.

Angelina Jolie - she was pretty damn hot, still is I guess. Does alright in tough chick action roles.

McDonalds - enjoy it, try not to eat too much junk these days. But we take the kids each Thursday night to either Macs or Hungry Jacks for dinner and let them play in the playground.

[Stevil420]

Breaking Bad - Haven't watched it.

Metallica - My 2nd fave band of all time. Just as great live as they are on the albums.

Iphones - Over them, but still use an Iphone 4S. The yearly updated phones are stupid.

Game of Thrones - Haven't watched it, don't intend to.

The Simpsons - Seasons 1-10 are classics which I never tire of watching. The rest is very hit and miss, and the last few seasons lack any real substance.

Michael Jordan - Reason I got into basketball. Best of all time, bar none.

Nirvana - Not a fan. They've got 1 or 2 decent songs, but overall they ruined heavy metal by making grunge the "it" thing, and everyone jumped on the bandwagon.

Star Wars - I can dig it, seen them all numerous times as a kid.

Star Trek - I loved the original movies.

Tom Cruise - I hate Scientology.

Leo DiCaprio - Only care for him if he's working with a director I like (ie Tarantino).

Angelina Jolie - She was hot! Not so much any more, especially after chopping her titties off, can't think of her the same way.

McDonalds - Addicted.

[mr kek]

Breaking Bad - One of the greatest shows ever created.

Metallica - I have no opinion

Iphones - best thing since sliced bread

Game of Thrones - I have no opnion

The Simpsons - Greatest cartoon ever

Michael Jordan - wearing a pair of IX's right now, have 20+ various pairs of his shoes.
The greatest player to ever play basketball.

Nirvana - again, no real opinion.

Star Wars - There are only 3.

Star Trek - I like the first original series with Kirk.

Tom Cruise - faggot

Leo DiCaprio - ok

Angelina Jolie - I think she would be a sensational fuck.

McDonalds - woohooo

[rayth]

Breaking Bad, never watched it.

Metallica, I like their earlier albums. Not really into much of their stuff after about mid 90s.

I Phones, never owned one.

Game of Thrones, never watched it.

The Simpsons, still love them, still enough quality for me to give the new ones a hit. And the classics stand the test of time.

Michael Jordan, it's basketball, so I don't care about him or it.

Nirvana, have a few good songs and that's it. Boring and dreary for the most part.

Star Wars, never got into it. Though I can see how that style of movie attracted alot of fans.

Star Trek, again, never got into it.

Tom Cruise, Born On The Fourth Of July, Interview With The Vampire, that's the only 2 films that spring to mind of his for me.

Leo DiCaprio, can't think of one movie of his I enjoyed. Having said that, I would have only watched 2-3.

Angelina Jolie, don't care either way.

McDonalds, their chicken caesar wrap is very good. I tend to stay away from Macca's though, not really my thing.

Breaking Bad
Never paid much attention to it. Saw some of season 1, when no one watched it. Then some sort of bandwagon happened towards the end.

Metallica
Can't fucking stand Metallica.

Iphones
Ok I guess, easy to use and lots of apps. I've got a Sony xperia though.

Game of Thrones
Interesting. I'd really need a weekend free to just bang out the whole thing to really get into it.

The Simpsons
The first 10 seasons were great. Massive part of my childhood.

Michael Jordan
An Icon.

Nirvana
Nevermind is one of my favourite albums. It's undeniable Cobain had a massive influence on Gen-X, and rock music in the 1990s. I think Pearl Jam is the better band though. Musicianship is beyond what Nirvana were capable of even in the early days, Vedder is a better singer and PJ's catalog, even the early 90s stuff is more accessible to a wider audience than Nirvana.

Nirvana. Right band, Right time.

Star Wars
Like the early Simpsons, the original trilogy was a massive part of my childhood. Everything else, not so much.

Star Trek
Nope.

Tom Cruise
He's got some good movies. Ok actor in general.

Leo DiCaprio
One of my favourite actors. Some great movies. Particularly The Departed, The Great Gatsby, Inception, etc.

Angelina Jolie
Don't rate her. She's good looking. But I find her boring as batshit.

McDonalds
Bit of a weakness. I've cut it out.

[Gog77]

Breaking Bad

Wonderful series. So easy to just watch back to back to back episodes.

Metallica

And Justice For All got me in and the Black album followed shortly after I listened to that. Back dated around that time and have been hooked ever since. Ride The Lightning is king.

Iphones

For wankers

Game of Thrones

I downloaded this series when it started and kept it on ice until the end of Season 3. When Facebook and Twitter went nuts after the Red Wedding I had to start watching. 7 days is an eternity to wait for the next episode.

The Simpsons

Still enjoy it. I must admit the newer episodes don't do much for me but love the classics.

Michael Jordan

Best ever, fuck Lebron!

Nirvana

Love Nirvana. So talented and such a shame it ended as quickly as it started. I would have loved to have seen if they could back up In Utero. Their unplugged performance is fantastic!

Star Wars

I had them all recorded on VHS and watched them over and over and over as a kid. I wouldn't say I'm a nut, love the movies though. Phantom Menace a little hard to watch though.

Star Trek

Never watched any of it. Shocking!

Tom Cruise

Lost me. Like his work but as for him what a douche.

Leo DiCaprio

Really has come of age. Most of the movies I've seen him in recently I've really enjoyed.

Angelina Jolie

Hot of course. Seems like a wonderful person as well

McDonalds

Being a Veggie I don't eat it obviously. When I did eat flesh I rarely ate it. Just shit food.

[HBM]

Breaking Bad - Am set to start watching this once the current Game of Thrones series is done. Whilst I may sleep around (or attempt to) I can only focus on one TV series seriously at a time.

Metallica - Never got into them, aside from that period in the 90s when they had radio saturation. I know that long-term fans didn't like that direction, however.

Iphones - I have one, and yes, I'm a wanker, but I like them for the games, etc... contract up in nov and am thinking about switching to Samsung due to Apple being unable to create a battery that charges well, and the fact that their updates usually fuck things up.

Game of Thrones - My favourite show. Love the fact that the series is drifting away and then coming back to the books - keeps people guessing.

The Simpsons - Still love 'em, and even like the new stuff. I just think we expect so much from them, and we loved them so much twenty years ago, new stuff will always fail to compare. Gotta give them a chance.

Michael Jordan - One of the greatest players ever, really helped by the fact that every game he ever played was recorded and every highlight play he ever made was packaged so well. Can't deny his greatness, however I am a guy who gravitates more to Wilt/Russell.

Nirvana - Had an interesting chat with a mate who recalls (as I do) that Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins were looked at as on a par at one stage. There was talk of who was the better band, etc... then Kurt tops himself at his arguable peak, and that's how he, and the band, are remembered. Conversely, the Pumpkins are not held in anywhere near that high regard. Suicide - great career move.

Star Wars - Love them, but liked the prequels a lot less. I guess I wasn't a kid watching them...

Star Trek - Never watched it

Tom Cruise - I liken him to DiCaprio the way he is currently. Cruise was striving for that oscar at one stage and couldn't even get nominated at times (Rain Man) when he thought he should. Kind of think he accepted he wasn't going to win one and started making action flicks again. I like his work, but I look at a guy involved heavily in religion, particularly one such as Scientology, and wonder what the fuck he's doing?

Leo DiCaprio - I remember seeing him in Growing Pains and considering I barely remember anyone else from that show he must've been doing something right. Have enjoyed his movies over the years.

Angelina Jolie - Yep, would be a wild fuck. How disappointing would it be if she was a real starfish? Unlikely...

McDonalds - I know it's really bad for me... yet I fucking eat it once per week.

[mr kek]

The Angelina Jolie question.

If you wouldn't bang her, you are bullshittting your assssss off.

Just by her personality, I am almost certain she would be one awesome fuck. She would be into it more than most guys.

I would be hugely dissapointed if she were a quiet starfish.

[Stevil420]

Jolie would go off in bed, no doubt about it. But imagine her undressed now, with no titties, which are now probably scarred badly. I wouldn't be able to.

They were rarely compared because they weren't classed as Grunge. Nirvana were huge, I grew up in a small town and remember pretty well how universally they were loved. I can't remember any bands like that while growing up. The day he died so many students were mortified. A better comparison is Pearl Jam and they're still held in very high regard. His early death no doubt created an aura I also have no doubt that they were one of the most popular bands of the 90s.

In regards to the Pumpkins their fanfare dropped dramatically after Adore and never really got back which is a shame because they've had some great tracks post Mellon Collie and Adore is one of the best written albums they've released. Pumpkins were always a band people loved or hated, not many, apart from diehards like me really bother with their current hits. Their last album, Oceania, is probably the best from SPv2.

And what's this about owning an iPhone. Correct me if I'm wrong but you were the one who invited me to the "iPhone are for Wankers" group on Facebook.

I was trying to get a free phone...

On the Nirvana/Pumpkins thing, the point my mate was making is that Nirvana was one album away - one poor album - from falling from grace. Don't underestimate the love at the time for the Pumpkins; they were regarded very highly.

Nirvana burned very brightly for a short time befoire the suicide explosion. The Pumpkins fizzled out

I would. As often as I could.

Until I got sick of her, as I tend to do
