I was only expressing my opinion, for which I explained the underlying reasons several times in the past. I do not see the point of explaining the same reasons to the people who are already familiar with them whenever I want to repeat my opinion. Especially since whenever I do restate my reasons behind my opinion I get these kind of responses:

I’d just like to point out for when you return - if people are already familiar with your reasons then they are also familiar with your actual opinion on the matter which makes continually stating it rather redundant no?

I’m not saying this means you can’t restate it if you wish but you need bring additional, constructive information to the discussion that wasn’t present in your reasons when previously discussing the matter, or pose it from a different perspective in trying to argue your point. Simply interjecting a flat statement into an active discussion that people are already aware of (many times over) is just plain irritating and the form of your statement also has an abrasive element to it that indirectly insults anyone that actually likes the movie.

Continually chucking your throw away statement / insult into the discussion every time it comes up just makes you seem arrogant and an irritating spanner in the works of trying to have an involved discussion with other invested people that contribute constructively. It can also start to come across that you are aggressively pushing you opinion onto others.

Anyway, just some food for thought I’d offer you while you’re on vacation 😉
