I disliked Tom Cruise before he revealed himself as a whackjob. I just don't really like his acting. He tries entirely too hard. Subtlety isn't exactly a word in his dictionary.
I've never liked Jim Carey but I can't help but respect him.
I'm like that with the Beatles. I can't stand listening to the Beatles, but I respect the ***out of them for what they did for music. There is so much they contributed and without it, music today would be vastly different.
Which, when you think about it, isn't necessarily awesome now. 20 years ago, absolutely. Nowadays... If we could just erase the last like 14 years or so of music, we'd be much better off.
