Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Jurassic Park is 6/10 at best (slrpnk.net)

I do not like Jurassic Park. I have never liked Jurassic Park. It has great special effects and Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, but that does not make it a good movie. I don't care if it made a billion dollars at the box office. I don't care how many awards it won.

The worst part, though, is the memes. They're second only to Prequel Trilogy memes in terms of how much they annoy me. I long ago added "clever girl" and "life uh finds a way" to the list of phrases that braying jackasses won't stop posting on social media that fill me with a near-homocidal rage. I'd block these phrases and move on with my life but these people put them in freaking images, too. I can't get away from it. *continues to froth incoherently*

Edit: As of this writing, I have three downdoots. I'm going to assume that all downdooters agree with this post. Edit #2: Now like 8 of 29 people agree with me! I guess this unpopular opinion isn't quite as unpopular as I believed. ❤️

Edit #3: 15 of 45 people reject that this is an unpopular opinion! Thank you all for your love and support. ✌️

Grudging upvote because how dare you? lol

Also, have you read the novel? I like the movie a lot, but I can respect that you don't. The novel is so much better, though.

I've heard this. I should give it a shot. I think I read The Andromeda Strain about a million years ago.

The Andromeda Strain is also a solid novel. The movie adaptation from the 70s is okay, but the 2008 miniseries is godawful.

Agreed. 💯
