Ask Lemmy

I've yet to watch Schindler List. I feel like it's signing up for feeling bad for 2 hours 😕

I'm also big into Sci-fi, and have yet to watch the OG Star Treks, Stargate, Babylon 5, or Dr. Who

I can’t make it more than an hour though the first Lord Of The Rings without falling asleep. It just doesn’t fancy me.

I have bookshelves full of Superman comics, graphic novels, books, basically anything in print I can get my hands on. And I've read every last one of them. I grew up on Christopher Reeve Superman films and will still watch all 4 of them. I've watched the old Fleischer cartoons, Super Friends, the 90s animated series, and all Justice League shows. I own the entire Smallville series on DVD. I was one of the dozen or so people who subscribed to DC streaming service before Max. And I've watched every Superman movie and TV show that came out in the last 25 years.

I've never gone back and watched Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. There is no reason I've never watched it other than I just haven't gotten around to it.

I've never seen 2001: Space Odyssey, I already tried watching it multiple times, but always end up falling asleep.

Similarly, I've never managed to finish Firefly, usually watch a couple of episodes and forget about it.

Also up until very recently (less than 2 years ago) I had never played any Call of Duty games.

I have never read the Harry Potter series.

I plowed through all sorts books as a kid in the 2000s but never picked them up.

Yeah I think I'm cool with that.

I've never seen Lost, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or any of the rest of the mandatory drama television genre. I gave up partway through watching Battlestar Galactica and kinda just stopped watching television.

For awhile there, the only non-technical conversation I could have was "Did you see Game of Thrones last night?" "No, I don't watch that show." "Oh. Bye." Humanity's ability to talk about anything except heartburn drama television for the last decade and a half kind of weaned me off of socializing.

No Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. I tried a little and gave up.

Never used any music or video streaming service. Yo ho

Never watched Game of Thrones or Stranger Things. (Or countless other shows)

Never seen any of the Lord of the Rings and have no plans to.

I have two of yours. honestly I just don't care what I might have or not seen. there is just to much that flies by to fast in modern times and everything is fractured. Everything that is a thing now likely was never watched by a majority of people. its not like when the broadcasters were the only game in town. even with cable their stuff was seen by more eyeballs because it was available. I remember folks who felt it was a badge of honor to not see stuff everyone has seen. like its a wonderful life.

Not quite what you are asking, but the first time I saw the video from 9-11 of a plane crashing into a building was around 2014-2015 when I moved to NYC. The people I was working with there couldn't seem to believe that I had never seen it.

Everything other than squid game, among us and minecraft

Not having tik tok or instagram seems to count? I dunno if wildly popular social media counts though.

I never watched Squid Game and don’t intend to. Battle royale material just isn’t my thing.

Game of Thrones maybe. To coin a phrase, “spare me the drama, and the incest.”

I love fantasy, it was right up my alley at the right time, but all the grit in GoT for me just resolves to alt-history Europe.

if titanic is so good, why haven't i seen it?

I've never seen a (modern) marvel movie, despite being a fan of the comics and cartoons as a kid.

I've never seen a harry potter film.

I've never had Instagram, tik Tok, twitter, or most other socials. I had Facebook, that's pretty much it. But no longer.

I've never seen a single James Bond movie or know anything about the scenes or characters, except for the fact there's an agent named James Bond who likes his name and always looks dressed to the nines.

I've only seen the first two parts of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

I got my nerd card revoked after a convention when I revealed that I hadn't seen any of the Marvel movies. And this was about 10 years ago. I eventually made exceptions for Deadpool and GotG.
