If I like it, then I like it. If it gets popular, so what?I watched you fall. I think I pushed.Comment

I guess it depends really. I loved Jurassic Park, and I loved the movie too. However, the movie became ultra popular, so to make more money, Michael Crichton wrote a second book for a second movie. If someone sells out just to make more money, then it can be a downer...

Re: Things you hated after they got too popular.
Have you been reading my mind or something?Originally posted by JohnT
Or your a Titanic buff: you've read both of Lord's books, you have copies of the transcripts of the various inquiry boards, you even bought every Titanic CD-ROM you could find at your local Best Buy. Then the movie comes out and now, dream of dreams!, EVERYBODY is talking about Titanic - except they're not talking about your Titanic, they're talking about the one that exists in the movie. So you think, "ah, f*** it. I'll study the Morro Castle or the Indianapolis or something."
Actually, I'm still a Titanic buff, I just make it clear the movie was a crapfest.
I usually keep my interests independent of popular consensus. I don't care one way or the other, I do what I enjoy.

Isn't disliking something that becomes popular out of antipathy for popular opinion no different in terms of shallowness than liking something just because it is popular?
Either way, it seems to me that the interest/lack thereof was merely for the purporses of defying/accepting conventionality rather than actually enjoying it.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

Why would you have a dislike for the Titanic before the movie came out? Not being interested in it I can understand, but actively disliking the subject matter...?Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

I was a fan of Dragon Ball Z back in middle school until it became popular and oversaturated in modern times.http://monkspider.blogspot.com/Comment

Because the Titanic itself has always been a sort of pop-culture worship topic. Big deal, the ship sank. And a whole bunch of rich people and then-celebrities died. So many people think the Titanic was a very important historical event. Bah... there are so many more important things in history... you almost never hear about how the Japanese massacred the Chinese during the 30's, for instance, or how the Turks massacred the Armenians...
The amount of effort and money put in to this Titanic legend worship sickens me.
And when the movie came out, it only got worse... then having to hear about "oh Titanic is the highest grossing movie ever, it's the greatest movie of all time"... PLEASE... Leonardo DiCrapio is a terrible actor...To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Actually DiCaprio has decent chops. Titanic was disastrous for his rep as an actor tho. The part made him easy to despise. Kind of curious whether his new movie will be any good.

Modern Art allowing untalented *******s to display shyt and sperm on canvas and getting paid for that!I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Its as pathetic to stop liking something just because it becomes popular as it is to like it just because it is popular.
Well most people don't dislike it because it becomes popular, but because when it does become popular, it gets BUTCHERED. Usually when bands become popular, they sell out, and when books become popular it is because they get turned into movies!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
