That movie (Poseidon) was so blaringly popular, I vowed that I would never pay to see it.
I’m the type, where, if 9/10ths of everybody is shouting how wonderful some popular entertainment is, I don’t make plans to watch it, at least not for a few years.
Vestiges of the contrarian or rebel in me who doesn’t want to conform. I never watched a full episode of Friends while they were on either.

I saw this movie back when it was first released!

Years later I was watching the Sylvester Stallone movie DAYLIGHT(1996)

I suddenly realized who was going to be killed off next and how it would be done, It was just a rewrite of The Poseidon Adventure under the New York harbor.

I hear you. I’m also a contrarian. With a few exceptions.

I remember hating station wagons. Now they don’t make them anymore (because nobody wants them) and I decide to buy a Ford Flex because it’s not all angles and swoopiness - just a square box with four doors and a tailgate. Basically a station wagon.

I watched Friends because I like sit-coms, but never a second of Dallas. And don’t give a Kardasian one second of my life’s attention.

You must be a relative. Several in my clan are exactly like this, including me. The more popular a thing is, the less likely we are to go see it, hear it, or do it. My folks have never seen Star Wars, the Godfather or ET, never watched Seinfeld or Cheers. Nor have I. I've never read a Harry Potter book or seen the films.

I did watch Horse Feathers.

I don't know what they have to say,
It makes no difference anyway,
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
No matter what it is or who commenced it,
I'm against it!
