View Full Version : The Repository of Objectively Wrong Opinions

Objectively wrong opinions: Everyone's got 'em! Better yet, they make great ammo for arguments. Dismissing your opponent's opinion by citing his insane opinion on a completely unrelated subject is a hallowed QT3 tradition. However, while everyone knows that Tom Chick hated Deus Ex, it's sometimes hard to remember which poster expressed his hatred of Futurama (or his warm fondness for Piers Anthony) in a thread six months ago. In this topic, I hope to create a lasting monument to such moments of weakness, such that we may all ridicule the originator in perpetuity. Also, rather than discuss the opinions here, please follow the hyperlink and argue in the original thread. I'll warm us up with a few:
metta: Does not like Simon Pegg. (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?p=1119370&postcount=18)

Fortunately for me, I have never had an objectively wrong opinion, as any opinion I express is right by dint of it being mine. The rest of you fuckers are in trouble, though.

I thought this was supposed to be moderately amusing/annoying, with "objectively wrong" being more hyperbole than literal requirement.

Objectively. John Wayne does not suck. One might be inclined to believe that if they were only familiar with the cartoon collection of mannerisms that has emerged from collective memory.
To espouse that view ignores triumphs like Red River, the Searchers, the Quiet Man and True Grit.
Any actor that can sustain his chops for over fifty years and turn in quality work even at the end of his life (The Shootist) does not suck.
Soooo...you suck. Pilgrim.

I'm sure I can qualify by most people's standards:
The Lord of the Rings movies are very poor cinema. Each scene is constructed with poor acting drizzled in meaningless, manipulative melodrama.
Brunettes are, on average, hotter than blondes.
Chrono Cross is a much better game than Chrono Trigger.
In fact, most post-NES Nintendo games are grossly overrated due to nostalgia.
Star Wars makes no sense. The notion that you have to suppress all your feelings in order to be good is borderline psychotic. Everything Yoda says is wrong and Luke succeeds by just ignoring the stupid old git and getting mad. Then we are asked to forgive a mass-murderer who makes Hitler look like nothing just because the mass-murderer sacrifices himself for his son.

If Gilliam says so, I accept it, but I do not accept that my original interpretation is unwarranted given how fucking weird the elders look in the future sequences. I really don't have a problem considering the woman at the end of the movie to be 40 or so and her future self to be 80 or so. But again, if Gilliam says she's a time traveler, that's the end of it.

Yeah, I only just now read through this thread, but I think it's pretty clear that the woman is there to ensure that David Morse does not release the virus. Your post in the link indicates that Bruce Willis had already done this, but he obviously failed (I won't spoil the movie by revealing how), since Morse was on the plane talking with the lady.
But then again I wouldn't consider your opinion objectively wrong, just something that always seemed pretty clearly in opposition of what we were shown in the movie.
