What’s your most controversial opinion?

[RjThoughts]

This past Halloween season, I finally watched Let the Right One In. I saw the American remake, Let Me In, quite some time ago and I liked it. I thought it was well done. But I've heard plenty of voices say the original film which is from Sweden is much better. The American remake is dogshit compared to the original they said.

So here is my potentially controversial opinion: People who think the original was so much better than the remake are movie elitist snobs probably hoping to look smarter than they are because they're "in the know" of the original. They're both very well-done movies and the remake was every bit as good as the original. Fans of the original, get over yourselves.

Come at me!

I do NOT like the third remake, fourth movie overall, of "A Star Is Born". C'mon Hollywood, get original!!!

Yup.. that is me.. well, it could have been me.. actually, it probably was me, once.. Back when I cared about others opinions and wanted to look cool and edgy.

Nowadays? Yeah, it is still me, not because I want to look cool and edgy - who cares about that anyway? But because I am an arrogant snob, who speaks more languages than I ought, and tends to enjoy navigating in the subtle (or loud!) cultural differences and not being smothered in Americanised remakes of interesting movies.

I would have said something like that, if I liked to watch movies, films, TV shows and all that jazz.

The thing is? I do not.

Still.. yeah, deep down? I am that snob, - and so what!?

Ha' en god aften.

And now for something completely different!!!

Alright.. here we go.

Have you ever met someone and immediately felt an intense, unexplained emotional connection/repulsion toward them? I believe it's due to having known that person in a past life.

I'm very familiar with the first part... feeling the intense connection or repulsion.
I'm not so sure it has anything to do with knowing them in a past life. I tend to think it's because they remind me of someone else I know, either positively or negatively.

A sense of familiarity doesn't explain some reactions though. For example, I met a woman in college who, within five minutes of meeting, had me wanting to do everything in my power to protect her. She was an independent, highly intelligent woman.. why would this draw up almost motherly instincts? Or the meeting with a mutual friend who immediately raised alarm bells in my head, even though he was the golden, perfect child? *shrugs*

Mine were a turn on to the women at our children's school, when they smelled of vanilla and/or chocolate

If you think you don’t belong in the Wanker of the week thread, that’s when we most certainly know for sure you do.

I know I belong there. I'm just disappointed that I'm not getting nominated enough.
I'll have to start a wanking campaign, like studios do for the Oscars.

 

[StillRain]

Oh, that’s already happening in there for the Wanker of the Year.
