The original, uncut version of My Bloody Valentine is the best slasher film ever made.

I approve! The original MBV is one of my favorite horror movies ever.

My favourite interpretations of dinosaurs were the 2000s-early 2010s artworks of them looking overly spiky and edgy. It’s gotta be nostalgia. Artists like Todd Marshall come to mind. His renditions of dinosaurs scream ‘BADASS’.

You could not be a dinosaur fan in the late 2000s early 2010s without seeing his stuff, it was all over Early YouTube with tributes and Top 10s.

I never understand why Mauler and his friends from his podcast are so beloved.
To me they’re nothing more but assholes gatekeeping on which movie you should like or not

Didn't like Venom (2018) and so didn't have any interest in its sequel.

I don’t like riding bikes that much. I can and I’m pretty good at mountain biking, I just don’t enjoy it.

Yeah, it seems like audiences are pretty evenly split on which of these is the better movie, with most agreeing that both are exceptionally well written and produced, with preference coming down largely to personal taste.

Personally, I'm an Alien man to the core.

Perhaps more unpopular is that I prefer Alien 3 over Aliens. :)

Well then I guess I'll re-amend my statement to this:

The original Alien > The Alien Queen.

On that subject: Predator 2 is a great movie and deserves far more unanimous love. The only truly great sequel to Predator that exists currently.

Alright, I have one.

I don't find the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy to be so bad. In fact, I say I had a better time than with it than the Prequel Trilogy.

Ditto. It has its strengths, but I find it bloated and heavy-handed.

I didn't hate Kong 05 but its definitely my least favorite of the King Kong films ironically despite how beautifully detailed it is notably Skull Island's fauna and worldbuilding. Its runtime being one of those reasons why it's at the bottom of my list along with the fat that could have easily been trimmed out such as the first hour of the film.
