Let's face it - most things are shit, and this thread could overtake the grime one if allowed to thrive and prosper.

The sacred cows

Yes, but for something to qualify as a 'sacred cow' it seems that at least one person in the history of the world has to have liked it... it's in danger of turning into a subset of the 'pointless but it does my head in' thread.

Oh. My. God. That show is an abomination, it's like the Antichrist of HIGNFY or something.
Quite like Stewart Lee, though.
Someone mentioned James Martin - I intended this for the 'Does My Head In' thread but it might as well go here: I recently flew with Ryanair-bothering upstart Flybe (sorry, "flybe") and while perusing their in-flight menu I learnt that nowadays it apparently takes a 'celebrity' chef (JaMar - never heard of the fucker until then) to "create" a cunting cheese and pickle sandwich. I had a definite maybe-al-Qa'eda-has-a-point moment there and then.

that doesn't make it a sacred cow though. it's like saying the one show is a sacred cow because adrian chiles' gran likes it. same with that two pints of lager... crap. a sacred cow is something the general public seem to feel is untouchable right, but actually it's a bit shit.
like stephen fry.

not that i've watched it in the last 12 months. it could have gone seriously downhill.
The horror.

Oh, I'd just like to say how much I loathe people venerating Shooting Stars, which has apparently made an ill-conceived comeback. Reeves, Mortimer, Johnsson, Lucas - could it get worse? The shittest of shit panel shows.

rip this joint please
the first two pages of this thread definitely have some genuine sacred cows.

Cinematic sacred cows I take issue with: David Lynch, Stanley Kubrik, Francis Ford Coppola, Jean Luc Godard (very much so), Fellini (apart from Toby Dammit), Antonioni (apart from Blow-Up, but that's pushing it), Bertolucci (apart from The Conformist, but he isn't the best thing about that film, in fact he almost ruined it), David Cronenburg, Spike Lee, Mike Leigh. I'd add Oliver Stone but he's ridiculed enough and in some ways I admire his ludicrous guts and, after all, no one else bothered to make Wall Street, did they? Even American Psycho (the novel, not the film) was a few years too late.
I'd either be a bloody awful film critic or a particularly brilliant one.

I'd really like to have Ross Noble as a friend as long as he would shut up sometimes. I find him really charming. But again, I wonder why he thinks he should get paid for what he does? Or even known for it? He's an abysmal stand-up. Not that I give a shit, but Eddie Izzard has been ruinous for stand-up comedy. Talking random shit is not "edgy" or "surreal", it's pub-bore boring.
It's all been downhill since Bob Newhart, if you ask me. He's untouchable.
The only british comic I rate at the moment is Catherine Tate. I think she's magic. One of the greats!
