In a rare situation, I pull double duty with the soapbox today. I started thinking about Harry Potter, and it occured to me that I've never watched or read the movies or books. There have to be other things that people might think 'WTF' when they hear the phrase, "I've never watched...I've never played...I've never read..." whatever. Here's a chance to see what things people have yet to do. What also counts are media you tried, but only managed a few minutes or an hour before giving up. I'll start off.
Games I've Never Played
Kirby Pokemon Resident Evil 4 (only for a few minutes) Metroid (Super for only a few minutes) Any Sonic 3D games (probably to my benefit) Uncharted Mass Effect (2 for only a few minutes) Devil May Cry Super Smash Bros Melee Call of Duty Halo Goldeneye (N64) Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Portable Ops Elder Scrolls/Fallout Starcraft Bioshock
Movies I've Never Watched
Gone with the Wind Casablanca Godfather Scarface Predator Jaws Braveheart Indiana Jones Harry Potter Lord of the Rings (fell asleep 10 minutes in) Star Wars (except Return of the Jedi) Transformers The Hangover Superman Fantasia Beauty and the Beast Little Mermaid Pulp Fiction
90s-Current Television Shows I've Never Watched

Other Things I've Never Done

There's so much other there on the tip of my tongue, but that's what I can recall.

Some of those aren't that surprising. Mostly the non-video game stuff.
The only thing I could think of that's surprising to never have played is probably Goldeneye and most PC games. Then again it's not uncommon to not be PC player.

And yes, I used the top 25 of the IMDb Top 250 for this. Also, I'm seeing Inception tonight.

For the love of god...why was Batman and Robin put into production? I remember reading a VERY harsh critique while rewatching the movie a couple years ago; good lord.
