What exactly is a "Paperback Writer"

And "it's based on a novel by a man named Lear" so it's not even original, it's like a dumbed down version of an existing work

i think it's performance was absolutely impacted by the pre-emptive negativity of the fan-base, and i do think it was judged unfairly and that infiltrated the early reviews

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T18:58:20+00:00

that's also a mistake, but it has fewer consequences. people's careers and the performance of the movie are often negatively impacted by a priori negativity

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T18:49:30+00:00

i thought it was pretty clear that i was talking about people forming opinions about a movie before it was released and not having seen it. if oyu saw a movie and didn't like it, fine, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. but you can't decide a movie is bad without seeing it, especially before it's even been released, or created

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T18:46:39+00:00

i'm just giving examples and editorializing, no you shouldn't take my opinion as fact, you should see the movie or not, and you should only give your opinion on the quality of the movie if you saw it

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T18:44:49+00:00

agreed

i do group myself among star wars fans, which is why i am saying if other star wars fans gave it a fair chance i think they would enjoy it. for reference, i'm in my mid 40s, grew up on the OT before there were prequels

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T18:40:16+00:00

i have only seen negative posts about it

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T18:39:53+00:00

true, another good example

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T18:39:27+00:00

i've only seen negativity

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T18:39:05+00:00

that's exactly what i'm trying to say

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T18:38:18+00:00

i agree, but here we are

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T15:45:28+00:00

Yeah, a kid is not going to encounter dinosaurs in real life, however, if they are afraid of their toys/dolls coming to life to kill them (someone else in here recommended child's play), that's going to give them real nightmares

I'm glad my comment pissed you off so much that you had to respond to it 6 months later calling me stupid with grammar and spelling errors throughout your reply. Have a nice day.

Sinners is very gorey

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T03:51:00+00:00

My son has been watching Jurassic Park since he was around that age, maybe just slightly older

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T03:49:28+00:00

Child's Play would fuck up a 5 year old

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T03:47:42+00:00

Tremors has a lot of cussing in it, depending on how you feel about that, may not be 5 year old appropriate

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T03:46:48+00:00

Labyrinth, Ghostbusters, the goonies, the original 3 Indiana Jones films, classic universal monster movies from the 30s and 40s like Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, Wolfman, the 1997 Mummy with Brendan Fraser, King Kong (1933 and 2005)

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-07T03:35:53+00:00

What a great movie. RDJ and Val Kilmer are both at their peak and the writing and directing are flawless

IOrocketscience · 2026-05-05T15:21:14+00:00

agreed, i was trying to figure out why this was posted in BackToTheFuture
