    You're in the vast minority, just take comfort in the fact that you personally hate it, but the rest of us think he's among the greatest actors who ever lived
    The majority also thinks Justin Bieber is totally awesome. So being in the minority suits me just fine.

    [b]Matter of personal opinion, of course[/b[ (Waters is one of my favorite directors, but also one of those where I kind of get it when people don't like him), but it wouldn't change the fact that he is at this point almost synonymous with Baltimore and the state of Maryland. He's been making films for over 40 years and every single one is set and shot completely within Baltimore.
    Exactly! As are any thoughts on a film or book or art. Just because one is in the minority doesn't make their opinion wrong or invalid. ALL are based on one's personal opinion and just because one like one director doesn't mean everyone else has to.
    As you can see some like Scarface and some think it totally sucks. I think it a great movie. Some like the Godfather others done't. Doesn't make one right and wrong, IMHO.

    or,

    you are part of the minority who also thinks Adolf Hitler was a great man worthy of celebration.

    So being in the majority suits me just fine.


    Let's hope you realize the mistake of your logic.

    Actually in Germany, that was the majority.

    So being in the minority suits me just fine.

    It's pretty insecure to think that someone else's personal opinion is meant as an insult to your own.
    It depends on how that opinion is expressed. At least it does to me. If one calls me a moron for liking a movie I do take that as an insult.

    There's a difference between arguing enjoyability and arguing quality, though.

    Well no sherlock but some think one's opinions is the right one and that is simply not the case is the point I was trying to make.

    Except the majority of the rest of the world outside Germany thought he should be thrown out of power.

    So, being in the majority suits me just fine.

    Again, you know your logic is ridiculous and flawed, but the question is are you man enough to admit it and provide a better one?

    But even quality in art is subject to opinion. What you may consider cinematic quality I may find see as cinematic crap.

    Yes, Captain Obvious. We know that.

    That's why humans, a long time ago, decided to just vote on things and go with the majority consensus. This included art and all it's forms.

    We take these majority opinions as more valid than just the 1 guy yelling on a street.

    And the majority isn't always right as history has proved. But I don't want to hijack this thread. And correct me if I am wrong but I have never seen a piece of art in any elections I have ever voted in.

    Your defense of being in the minority.

    You used a Justin Beiber argument, as if somehow disqualifying majority opinions for all of time just because the majority likes something ty in this instance. (imo)

    That can go both ways, and it's incredibly flawed logic. It makes no point.

    You are in the vast minority, just accept it, and just say that you personally don't like it.

    and history has also proved that the majority has been correct MORE times than it's been wrong.

    and are you joking about the elections

    Home Alone is a wonderful film for entertainment value. It's a great family film to just sit back, relax, and have a good time.

    That's what it was aiming for, and in that regard, yeah, it was a work of genius.

    and citing Pacino's Oscar hardly counts as "the majority". The people who actually vote for the Oscars are a pretty elitist group.

    If MiamiHeat's beloved majority actually voted for this , then the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park would have multiple Best Actor Oscars by now.

    The majority of people also love Pulp Fiction.

    You going to dog on that one too?

    seriously, when will you stop being dishonest to yourself and just admit that you were wrong in your logic?

    And Twilight is also made for entertainment value. Period. It wasn't meant to be a cinematic, director Oscar nominated film.
