Here we go. Where did I say I watched them? I've had the unfortunate experience to see a bad film or two, but I haven't watched most of it (TF movies excluded), nor did I imply such. You realize how ridiculous you sound saying nonsense like this?
And to play along with your little glitch of reasoning, how many stories have you heard where usually the boyfriend gets dragged to a crappy movie? Yes, sometimes people do get forced to watch this stuff.
Then I keep listening to what they've released. At 37 years old, I find myself listening to a lot of old 80's music these days. Not JUST because I can't stand "the crap we are getting nowadays", but it's because it's what I grew up listening to and what helped shape my taste in music.
Great. This has no bearing on what I said at all.
And you know what else is awesome? If I don't like what's on the radio, I change the station. We live in a world where we're saturated with choices.
That's a fallacy that some people think is true, but it is blatantly not for a large percentage of the population. We are given the
illusion of many choices. I haven't listened to the radio in years, and, yes, it's because of the same pop crap that gets re-fed to us over and over again.
But harping on about since 2007 about the problems with the first movie ... well ... what's the point? It's seven years ago, it can't be changed.
It can't be, but opinions can be changed even though most times they probably aren't. Anyone willing to actually listen to reasoning should be open to having their minds changed.
Same with harping on about the subsequent sequels and the upcoming one. People need to face facts, they're onto a winning formula with the movies.
"Winning?" For whom? Do you work for the film industry? Obviously I can argue how this certainly isn't "winning" in any respects to society as a whole. What should I care how much money Michael Bay earns in his job any more than anyone else? Why should that be winning to me? It's only winning to those who financially benefit or who are thoroughly entertained. Neither of which are me. So I take umbrage with calling it "winning".
Just because a TF fan doesn't like it, doesn't mean it's WRONG, and that's what the "haters" need to understand. They're more than welcome to dislike the movies, but they need to stop acting like their opinion is the be all and end all and accept that there are opinions different to their own.
I can certainly point out things that wrong with the movie. And when something is wrong, yes, it's the "be all/end all". If you want to ignore mistakes or flubs or flaws in logic or continuity errors and things like that, fine, but if they exist it's pretty much a clear-cut things.
Simple fact. The movies have been a financial success. This is a clear indicator that people liked them. Given how much of a success, they must have liked them enough to see it multiple times.
Again, that's something of an odd way to judge unless that financial success is yours too in some way.
Figures don't lie.
Heh. No? Any statistician can easily argue that one, as well as some gamblers too.
Whether the movies were good or bad is personal opinion and there is no right or wrong.
Not entirely true, as another fallacy that pervades is that somehow opinions can't be wrong. Anyway, you can say you liked the movie, but in general know that it's not very good. Same with songs, TV, etc. Yes, I have some movies that I like that are considered bad, but I like them.
