Re: Unpopular Opinion Thread
Here's an unpopular opinion - I want all current cinematic universes to end (MCU, DCEU, MonsterVerse, etc) and we go, just for a decade, back to the way things used to be where every movie didn't have to connect to every other movie. Not saying forever, but just for a little while, no blockbuster has to tie in with "a bigger universe".
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

I don’t like The Matrix. I actually fell asleep watching it.

Re: Unpopular Opinion Thread
The Matrix is the type of movie that has lost its impact due to the movies that were influenced by it, and influenced it, becoming popular and more well known, in addition to its themes of virtual reality/internet not being so revolutionary or shocking. I think The Matrix is a great film, but it definitely hasn’t aged well.

What? Did we see the same movie? Granted I haven't seen MtR since its initial theatrical release almost 15 years ago, but I don't remember any pro-imperialism subtext.

Re: Unpopular Opinion Thread
Beyond that one joke that Canada had become North Montana i.. really don't recall any pro-imperialist propaganda at all. And i've seen the movie like, five times already.

The Alien (Xenomorph) should never have an origin story and should be left entirely unexplored; a total mystery.

Re: Unpopular Opinion Thread
Honestly the fact it was even considered to give them an origin story is disappointing. That's not even getting into some of the retcons Ridley Scott gave the species..ShinGojira14 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 03, 2021 11:35 am The Alien (Xenomorph) should never have an origin story and should be left entirely unexplored; a total mystery.

Re: Unpopular Opinion Thread
Almost every Godzilla/kaiju-based Youtube channel is a complete f'n joke with channels like DangerVille taking the cake with their almost non-stop, BS clickbait videos. And I really wish Toho would come in with their big dick legal tactics and shut them down.

There's a few good ones, mostly smaller channels like blunova and Kyodai Kino. Up From the Depths and D Man are good too. There are a lot I avoid, though.Mac Daddy MM wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 10:22 am Almost every Godzilla/kaiju-based Youtube channel is a complete f'n joke

I'm honestly surprised TK doesn't have more of a presence on social media and Youtube.

Re: Unpopular Opinion Thread
I'm curious to an explanation for this as well, but I also love Meet The Robinsons. Sure its uneven, but it's got more than enough heart to make up for it. Fantastic story, with a fantastic message in my opinion.John Pannozzi wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 11:29 amWhat? Did we see the same movie?

So much this. You have to search really hard to find a channel worth a damn.Mac Daddy MM wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 10:22 am Almost every Godzilla/kaiju-based Youtube channel is a complete f'n joke with channels like DangerVille taking the cake with their almost non-stop, BS clickbait videos.

Re: Unpopular Opinion Thread
I'd add Paper Finz, Wikizilla, the channels with the G-Fest panels, Matt Draper, Big Jack Films, Vintage Henshin Brandon Tenold and Monster Island Buddies to the list of good kaiju-related Youtubers. There also are a few decent Super Sentai/Power Rangers channels out there.Rando Yaguchi wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 11:29 amThere's a few good ones, mostly smaller channels like blunova and Kyodai Kino.

Does your sentiment apply to non-Hollywood films as well?Vakanai wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 11:48 pm Here's an unpopular opinion - I want all current cinematic universes to end (MCU, DCEU, MonsterVerse, etc) and we go, just for a decade, back to the way things used to be where every movie didn't have to connect to every other movie.

Re: Unpopular Opinion Thread
As I've worked my way through Hammer's horror catalogue this month and reached the infamous Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed, I've come to a realization.
Peter Cushing, Veronica Carlson, and Terence Fisher may hated it, but the rape scene in Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed is still handled with more tact than the rape scene in the shockingly beloved Young Frankenstein. Yeah, it was unneeded and shoehorned in, but at least Must Be Destroyed didn't use rape for laughs.
