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.

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

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.

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.

Most comedy movies from the 00s-10s, for me. Anchorman, Superbad, 40 Year Old Virgin, Step Brothers... If Judd Apatow was involved or it starred SNL celebrities, I probably never saw it.

Never saw:
• Game of Thrones
• Breaking Bad
• The Walking Dead
• Maybe have only seen 2 or 3 Marvell movies.
• Haven’t seen a single episode of any anime.
• Couldn’t name a famous YouTuber if I tried.

I’m sure there’s more, but for now, that what I can come up with.

I didn't watch the show Firefly. I had already been using this screenname for a long time when that show came out, but people began to assume I was a fan and named myself after it.

While I'm generally a scifi fan and watched tons of scifi TV in those days, the Buffy shows a lot of my friends were into bored the hell out of me and I didn't feel like checking out another show by the same guy.

I do have the DVDs on my shelf, having picked them up cheap secondhand ages ago thinking I might just get it over with someday, but the more I've learned about Joss Whedon over the years the less inclined I find myself to check it out.

you don't know what you don't know.

nothing in this thread so far screams weird to me yet.

I never watched Game of Thrones. I only watched the very last episode because the friends decided it'd be fun to watch, and even then I was disappointed lol

I also never read any books based on any RPG or other games (D&D, World of Darkness, 40k)

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 watched the very first episode of The Walking Dead and realized I didn't like zombie stuff and didn't want to get pulled into a show about it. No matter how much people were raving about it. Just not for me.

I also quit The West Wing about halfway through the first episode.

Yes, all three of those.

I'm also not really into superhero stuff so I've seen like 2 Marvel movies.

Only ever seen one episode of The Sopranos (enjoyed it, but never went back for some reason).

Never seen:

• One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
• Game of Thrones
• Oppenheimer (nor Barbie)
• Forrest Gump
• Saving Private Ryan
• To Kill a Mockingbird
• Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
• Rocky Horror Picture Show
• Rocky (seen 2-4, but not the original)
• Nightmare on Elm Street
• Good Morning Vietnam
• Braveheart
• Brokeback Mountain
• Borat
• Any of the Daniel Craig Bond movies
