Loves and Loathes

You'd think there would be an obvious tag for this one, after all, a lot of what goes through one's mind (well, my mind) on a given day is noticing things that we like or don't like, or as my title has it, things we love as opposed to things we loathe. So here is a list of loathes:

• All of those movies where actors dress up in ridiculous costumes and engage in even more ridiculous fights while surrounded by supremely ridiculous CGI (computer-generated imagery)
• Those other supposedly more "realistic" movies where a cast of Hollywood stars demonstrate their smug entitlement while an utterly unbelievable scenario unfolds. Examples? All the Ocean movies: Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve, Ocean's Thirteen
• Most movies with these actors: Robert de Niro, Al Pacino, George Clooney, Johnny Depp
• Any sitcom with a laugh track
• Any remake of a classic movie
• The Android operating system
• Most music written by Richard Wagner and Gustav Mahler
• Most pop divas: Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Beyoncé. I'm kind of neutral about Lady Gaga and Rihanna
• U2

And a corresponding list of loves:

• Gamelan music from both Java and Bali
• Any film by Peter Weir, Clint Eastwood or Akira Kurosawa
• Most films by Luc Besson
• Most movies with these actors: Heath Ledger, Paul Bettany, Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson, Sigourney Weaver, Bill Murray, Alicia Vikander, Denzel Washington and Jean Reno
• Nearly everything written by these composers: Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Shostakovich
• Most songs by Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen
• The English Beat
• Grigory Sokolov and Valery Gergiev
• Northern Italian red wines: Barolo, Dolcetto d'Alba and Amarone della Valpolicella
• Ice wine

I feel like I have left out a bunch of stuff from both categories...

Hard to pick a good envoi for this one, so I'm going with Weird Al Yankovic:
