Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Do you have a well-known film/album/show that you’ve specifically resisted from viewing, etc. for whatever reason? For example, a friend of mine has refuses to watch any of the remade Mummy films, since as he puts it, "There can’t possibly be anything in there for me."

First off, Tasha, you should really see Billy Madison. I’ll bring it in for you. I can’t think of a great answer myself, so maybe I should beg off this completely, but here goes... I’ve always refused to watch Terms Of Endearment because it violates one of my two fundamental movie no-nos: I don’t like movies about terminal illness, and I don’t like movies about dancing. It’s probably awesome, I’m sure I’ll love it someday. I have studiously avoided watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer, even though people with exactly the same taste in TV tell me that I’ll love it. This embargo may end soon, though, since Tasha loaned me the first season on DVD. (But then I have people telling me that I’ll have to suffer through the first season to get to the good stuff—why would I want to do that?) But I’ll pretty much watch anything if the right people tell me it’s good. And it’s not a rom-com.
