Iconoclast Pop Views

On his blog, Ken Jennings asks for folks' iconoclastic pop culture opinions - pop culture opinions you hold that sharply veer from the critical and popular consensus. A few of mine:
  • Timothy Dalton is a better Bond than Brosnan (this is on Jennings' list too, so maybe it's not THAT iconoclastic)
  • Raging Bull is boring.
  • Sophie Coppela was fine in The Godfather Three. Not great or even particularly good, but hardly distractingly bad
  • Don Dellilo's White Noise put me to sleep
  • Jon Lovitz's performance in Mom and Dad Save the World is brilliant comedy
  • Kevin Nealon was one of the best SNL Weekend Update anchors
  • Thom Yorke is a horrid singer
  • London Calling is monotonous and boring
  • Good Night and Good Luck was neither engaging or inspiring
  • The Soul Cages is Sting's best album, by leaps and bounds

Until Whenever

"London Calling is monotonous and boring." Now, that's just silly.
