Woah, that's a long list, but there's a bunch of stuff on it that I agree with 100% ... especially hating reggaeton (what the hell is that crap anyway) and watching Oprah and The Golden Girls, I've hated scary movies ever since I was traumatized by NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3 at the tender age of 9, #77 for which my coworkers crucify me for ... but dude, you're screwed on #29...
