I want to hear some unpopular opinions.

Here’s (one of) mine:

The Matrix Reloaded is the best of the trilogy.

There were only 10 good albums released in the 70s.

probably-rob.bsky.social•71 days ago

You are correct - that IS an unpopular opinion 😀

😩

*taps mic* Marilynne Robinson’s writing is dull.

brentwaggoner.bsky.social•71 days ago

No.

brentwaggoner.bsky.social•71 days ago

But genuinely insane assertion. Even looking up these excerpts to screenshot them had me in tears.

ianmcloud.bsky.social•71 days ago

Counterpoint, yes

brentwaggoner.bsky.social•71 days ago

I'm sorry, I fell asleep reading that counterpoint.

jasonisasmith.bsky.social•71 days ago

I don’t even like baseball and the bit about baseball in Gilead has been one of the more transformative passages of any writing for my thinking

brentwaggoner.bsky.social•71 days ago

I mean, no one has to like anyone. I've bounced off a lot of great authors. But on a sentence level, she's clearly exceptional.

abenjamin.bsky.social•72 days ago

This is the correct take, imo

kevinmnye.bsky.social•71 days ago

WHY ARE MOST PEOPLE SO WRONG ABOUT THIS????

tylerhuckabee.bsky.social•71 days ago

it's not the best but it's much better than its reputation (there are no bad Matrix movies).

Matrix > Reloaded > Resurrection > Revolutions

bencattellnoll.bsky.social•71 days ago

This is the slightly more correct take. Nothing will top the original for me just for sheer force of how original and different it was when it dropped, but 1) the hate for it is completely unjustifiable and 2) the chase scene is the best thing in any of the trilogy and honestly top 20 film moment

kevinmnye.bsky.social•71 days ago

You're probably right, but I will forever love Reloaded for its audacity to directly confront its fanbase for how they misinterpreted the first film.

tylerhuckabee.bsky.social•71 days ago

matrix: you must free your mind

reloaded: no, not like that

revolutions: it’s more of an internal liberation, which we thought was clear in the “free your mind” part

resurrection: how are you freaks not getting this

kevinmnye.bsky.social•71 days ago

I just love that Christian’s were like “Neo is Jesus, this is a Christian movie” and so the Wachowski sisters said “lol, actually the very idea that Neo could be Jesus is a construct designed to keep you distracted and complacent, also peep this orgy.”

lauracnessy.bsky.social•71 days ago

David Lynch's stuff is weird. Like, weird weird. Like, somebody check up on him weird.

izzzzzzyyyyyy.bsky.social•71 days ago

omg I LOVE to be an inspiration 😌

You're supposed to say something that isn't objectively sane & correct.

joelbharris.bsky.social•71 days ago

I don't really think the Paddington movies are that great.

I think this means I'm a bad person. Sigh.

brentwaggoner.bsky.social•71 days ago

Oh Joel.

There are so many reasons that come before that.

joelbharris.bsky.social•71 days ago

jjr222.bsky.social•72 days ago

Toy Story 4 is good, actually

kevinmnye.bsky.social•71 days ago

did people not think so? my sense was people felt that 3 was such a good ending that it messed with that, versus feeling the 4 was not good

jjr222.bsky.social•71 days ago

yeah, I know a lot of people who hated it just because it existed

I agree that the series probably should have ended at 3, but I really enjoy 4 for what it is!

3bajan3.bsky.social•71 days ago

that's highly unpopular

liminalrj.bsky.social•71 days ago

I need to reconsider our friendship

liminalrj.bsky.social•71 days ago

Also, since you likely aren’t trans the first movie probably doesn’t hit you as hard

millersimul.bsky.social•72 days ago

Oh, here's one that'll really piss people off:

Beyoncé is talented, but her rise was enabled by a father who exploited other young girls to benefit his daughter.

rhysshelmerdine.bsky.social•71 days ago

Is that opinion or just fact? Haha.

millersimul.bsky.social•72 days ago

Bruce Springsteen is good, but not nearly as good as Boomers think he is.

katiekurtz.bsky.social•72 days ago

meanwhile, Bob Dylan sucks hard and everyone has been duped

millersimul.bsky.social•72 days ago

My external take: *nods*
My internal Minnesotan take:

katiekurtz.bsky.social•72 days ago

so you're saying I totally nailed the unpopular opinion assignment?

dannymurz.bsky.social•72 days ago

Children shouldn't become ill/die from vaccine preventable diseases.

tivfefe.bsky.social•71 days ago

I didn’t mind the ending of Game of Thrones. It shouldn’t have been so rushed, but the way it ended didn’t make me mad.

I also thought the ending of LOST was fine.

AI isn't a threat to jobs, it only shows when and where people were valued over product.
