I always manage to shock people when I say I've never been to Disney World OR Disneyland;
or seen The Karate Kid. I've also never owned a Sit 'n' Spin or seen any episode of The Dukes of Hazzard the entire way through.

I also haven't seen The Crying Game, but I know how it ends, so it might be kinda pointless at this juncture.

And, in case my 10th grade English teachers are reading this, I never actually read The Scarlet Letter or finished The Great Gatsby ... not that I meant to, you understand, but the class discussions for the former and the "local news" during the latter kind of precluded my completion of the assignments. But, you could probably tell with Gatsby, anyway.

All of my family who might live in FL lives in NJ & NY.

I was 21 before I even set foot in Florida, but I was going to my friend's daughter's christening/friend's wedding in Panama City, which is in the panhandle, rather than going to Disney.

When I was younger, lots of people acted as though not going to Disney was some sort of child abuse. As I got older, I started to mock Disney by saying it was someplace only rich people go to. Now ... I don't really care if I ever go. It's fucking pricey!

2001: A Space Odyssey was the one film I felt required one to be in an "altered state" in order to get anything out of ... either that or pass out after the apes smashing the bones and wake up just in time to see Dave & HAL.

The Graduate doesn't really hold up after a few decades. And I think I was too young to catch most of the implications of the story when I saw it.

The Godfather, on the other hand, holds up to multiple watchings on multiple occasions and is pretty much timeless. You can get different things out of it depending on when in your life you "hear" the story. (Except the 3rd one. It's not very good.)

Its the oddest thing the only thing damaged was the license plate got a little mangled. And it was twice. I agree its odd but its saved my insurance big time. The other two deer made up for the damage though.

I've never seen THE GODFATHER or CITIZEN KANE.
I have never seen The Godfather, either. Perhaps, I will catch it during the theatrical rerelease next month (here in Japan).

I find mafia folklore uninteresting. Perhaps, it is because I grew up around Italian-Americans who swore they were connected to the mob.

I had a neighbor who had never seen E.T. I couldn't imagine never seeing it.

I have never laughed at a Dilbert comic (and I worked in the computer industry for 7 years).

I have NEVER listened to Dark Side of the Moon.

Why are none of the ladies commenting on their anal (or lack thereof) experiences? It was clearly laid out in the question for you...........

Well, the question asked people to say what they've never done and provided anal as an example.

So if no ladies said they they have had never had anal, ......

I thought of another: I have never seen an episode of Seinfeld.

I've never read a novel by Hemmingway.

I feel like I'm insulting everything I strive to accomplish by admitting that.

You better do it soon, because I think he's best appreciated while young. I loved reading him in my early 20's. But I read "The Sun Also Rises" about a year or two ago, and it just annoyed the fuck out of me. I am, however, looking forward to seeing what comes out of Cuba's decision to release what they have.

I've never had sex with a woman who is within one year of my age. No... I'm not pedophile or a granny chaser. For the most part, the age range has almost always been about 3 years younger, and (in two cases) 3 or more years older.

I could never get into his writing style. It's so bland, but as I've gotten older I find myself appreciating the straight-forwardness more.

ok, this makes no sense to me, you've never read a novel, but you don't like his writing style? is this surmised from his short stories? If so, how much character development would you expect, or how much could your hope to learn about his writing style from a short story?

Just wondering.

And i completely agree with pb, i loved hemmingway much more when i was younger. Its funny how him and Faulkner were such polar opposites, all the way to their portrayal of women..

*SPOILER ALERT*
Casablanca isn't exactly a musical.
the minimal singing that's in it is worth putting up with. It's one of my favorite movies, so I will recommend it.

Agreed. And it's not like it's some big fucking production number. It's Sam at the fucking upright piano. For less than a minute. Jesus!
