Your dismissal of other opinions sounds like snobbery.


Isn't this whole thread really dissing on the article about Texas Chainsaw Massacre, that the article is snobbery.

And this guy is saying 'no, you're being a snob for not giving it a chance'.

And now you are saying 'you saying people being snobs makes you a snob'.

So, guess, everyone is full of 'snobbery' on this one.


I wasn't dismissing the opinion, but the advice. Fine, the OP doesn't like the movie. That's different from telling people it isn't worth their time. It very clearly is, even if you don't like it. It's like saying economics students shouldn't read Marx. Of course they should, even if they spend the whole time making angry notes in the margins.


Unfortunately though once you see the film to judge for yourself if it has redeemable artistic qualities or not, it's too late.

I said it was my opinion and I offer my own take simply as a cautionary tale.


Too late to do what? Spend the 83 minutes watching a different movie?


Usually when I’m surprised about something, I realize that I am uninformed or out of touch.


I know these are not the same situation, but this sounds like a different Oracle than the one that owns and manages Java.
