I still am under no obligation to like it.
You’re also under no obligation to steal Ric Olie’s thunder, and yet here you are.
If art is subjective, and I already said my opinion of the film was subjective, why then do you guys feel obligated to contradict me or say my preferences are in bad taste? Apparently having to defend my position is not a Captain Obvious move if people are telling me my initial reasoning is flawed.
But you gave nonsense reasons as to why you didn’t like it. Saying the movie is bad because you don’t know the name of a character for 20-something minutes is absurd.
They’re not nonsense to me, and you don’t have to agree, but I feel the reaction to my talking about it, (eg. saying my opinion is nonsense or absurd) is stronger in tone than is warranted. Maybe I did too easily take offense, I’ll admit that. But I don’t feel blame falls solely on my own shoulders.
Why are you playing the blame game? You shared your opinion. People thought that your reasoning made no sense and they clearly explained why. Then you get pissed off because people responded fairly cordially to something that you posted for us to read. And who are you to police tone? No one wrote anything even mildly offensive in their responses to you. Handman was right on in his assessment. Why post if you’ll just get angry when someone responds to you? If I posted that I hated Stand by Me because it had a narrator, a bully character that didn’t obey the traffic laws, and an ending that wasn’t entirely happy, then people would have reacted in the same way because I said I hated a beloved movie for reasons that make no sense.
