Sorry Jiri, Inglewood is still pretty much a dump. It'll get there in another 15 years AFTER the riff-raff have moved on from being kicked out of the East Village.

The only good thing going for it is the Rouge.

Over-rated: The Keg

Under-rated: Numerous less popular places that also serve steak.

Over-rated: Working long hours (really, is it worth it to work 10.5 hour days?)

Under-rated: Walking around with your dog with no specific destination or just wandering around alone. Also, going to places alone.

It's a show where production values and acting make up for what is in my opinion lackluster story telling.

No man. It's got a lot of great places including the best Chiese Food place in the city - Dragon Pearl.

Still a little rough around the edges but a neat area to wander around.

Overrated: Deal or No Deal. This is seriously one the dumbest shows on TV appealing to the mindless who are entertained by anything that has dramatic music and well timed commercials that force suspense.
Underrated: Books. It seems no one reads anymore, everyone just turns their brain off and their TV on (see above).

Overrated: Adam Sandler. Outside of Happy Gilmore and parts of Billy Madison, everything he has done is terrible and unfunny. Ever, supposedly funny, voice he does, is exactly the same! His albums are on the same level as well, weak and unoriginal.
Underrated: South Park. Hilarious show on so many levels. For those who only watched the show in it's first couple seasons, it has changed for the better. The type of humour is not for all, but should still recieve more appreciation than it does now.

Overrated: The indie music scence. There is some great stuff in there but so, so much of it is touted so highly by it's fans and it always disappoints.
Underrated: Tool. Has a large fan base, but it seems lots of people are not familiar with their music. They have a sound unlike any other.

Flame On · 05-31-2007, 10:50 AM

Overrated:House (the tv show), Rock on Calgary's numerous rock radio stations
Underrated:Calgarypuck (keep the whinging to the internet), Drive-in movies.

I like DCC but I wouldn't call them underrated. Probably one of the most popular emo bands out there. Swap them for Gomez and I'll agree with you.

Now I am HUGE DCFC fan so perhaps I am playing a bias here but I have never once herd them on the radio at least Calgary…and part of the reason I fell they are underrated is because people view them as just another EMO ban which to me they aren’t, sure some of the stuff is would fall into the category of EMO (which is a horrible way of categorizing music and people alike IMO) but a lot of there stuff very upbeat and alternative…also I will add The Postal Service to my “underrated list”
