Are you referring to Under the Dome? I can't figure out that extra 'T.'
I was gonna ask this too.
I don't get the big deal about Star Wars. And Starbucks. Everyone else is crazy about these things.

I swear I was just getting ready to ask what was the big deal about Starbucks.
People need more sugar and caffeine, I guess.
I don't like coffee in general, but I don't know why people would pay that kind of money for it.
I don't like coffee either. And if I'm going to consume all those calories, I want it to be a food item, not a drink!
I'm just not into drinks that much. Water is fine, say thankee.
Several years ago, we took our classes on a field trip, and were downtown at one of the museums. A mom that had come along asked me what drink I wanted at lunch. She was going to travel about 20 miles round trip to go to Sonic just for drinks and because she loves the ice they have there! I said, "You're kidding, right? I'll drink water out of the museum fountain, thanks."
Well said.
Wish You Were Here is mine. I have to just stop everything and listen.
And Mother. I didn't give that one much attention until I had a son and understood.
I would do just about anything to see and hear you do Kiss at karaoke.I used to be able to do Kiss at karaoke, but got out of practice and now I can't hit those notes.....
I know Sonic ice fans. I don't get that either.
I don't get Starbucks but I do love my coffee. I just like plain coffee, no flavors, no sugar, just a little 2% milk to take the bite out. It's a serious addiction and I hear good things might happen to me if I could give it up, but no thanks. I go to bed thinking how good that first cup of coffee is going to be.
For fun - here's a picture of our coffee on vacation. The girly coffee is not mine.
Sorry, I have no idea how to re-size a photo.
I'm addicted to Chik-fil-A and I'm not happy about them removing cole slaw from the menu. Starbucks is all right but I'm loving my Keurig. Nothing comes close to it. Black with sugar or with hazelnut cream.I would do just about anything to see and hear you do Kiss at karaoke.

My addiction is tea. Preferably Barry's with one sugar and a few drops of cream.
You men and your hazelnut cream. That's what my ogre drinks in his. Fat free hazelnut creamer - lots of it - did you see my photo? As if fat matters with all those sugar calories.
I like Chic-Fil-A's carrot salad, they took that off the menu a long time ago. But I can make it almost like their's.
You've got such a way with words, sisterwife!
The only hazelnuts I like are in my Nutella. But I can't bring that into the house. I'll eat the entire thing with a spoon in one night.
Just went and watched. That was a virtuoso performance, by all of them. But especially the purple one.

I think this is one of the first times that I have ever choked on unexpected laughter.
"Comfortably Numb" is imho the greatest studio rock recording ever. I became a Pink Floyd fan at the release of Animals but certainly would not have had not a friend turned me on to them. They'd been around for a long time by then and I probably would've agreed with danie about not getting them. I did like a few tunes I'd heard but wasn't a fan. Same story with Led Zeppelin, except it took me much longer to like them, which I really do now. "Ten Years Gone", "What Is and What Should Never Be", and "Gallows Pole" are gorgeous. Sometimes I think we gauge an artist based on what others think the artist did well instead of finding out what else s/he has done. Sometimes this won't happen until one is living with someone who owns the stereo. For instance, most people, including rock fans, are familiar with Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" since it was virtually their only tune to which the public was exposed ("Conquistador", and "Homburg" - a favorite in part because my mom liked it; she was cool - were also played on Top 40 radio. Personally, I'm as sick of AWSOP as I can be). But there are a ton of incredible PH tunes to be had.
I never "got" Rap, though I've always marveled at a rapper's ability to do it; however, I really like "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire and probably would like other rap stuff were I to live with the right person.
I don't really get why zombies are the rage. Usually they're all just like the ones in Night of the Living Dead, which I honor due to them creating the icon of shambling, pale, bruised and mutilated, starving people who's great threat is that since they're already dead it's tricky how to kill them. Even when zombies are presented as runners or more like animals they're still uninteresting to me; just not scary.
What's the big deal?
Well ... that's the question, isn't it?
Just how think how quickly we would all get tired of this if everybody could understand the appeal of everything all the time.
Is that the world you want to live in?

Just trying to get others' opinions and reasoning for why things are a big deal to them. I find it interesting and want to be open to understanding their reasons and maybe changing my mind about things.What's the big deal?

This is my sentiment when I keep pushing Procol Harum and obscure Anthony Hopkins movies. I want to share what have become treasures for me. The SKMB is great for turning on to new musical and literary artists via those in the know as well as those who know what others don't.
Recent research has shown that marijuana smoke is healthier than no oxygen.
Prince is transcendent, and I'll admit to being a guy who took a long time to "get" prince. I happen to live (now) one town over from the fabled Paisley Park and Prince is like a god around here. I think he blew more than a few people away at the Super Bowl a few years ago ... folks who thought he was just the Purple Rain guy.
