It
seems like for every book, movie or gadget that comes along, there are plenty
of people willing to tell everybody else how good or bad it is. Some of them
actually get paid for it.
Years
ago, the local newspaper had a movie reviewer. It didn't take long for my
friends and I to realize that any science fiction movie that came along, he
hated. Since we liked science fiction, why would we listen to him? Obviously,
our opinions didn't agree with his.
More
recently, I've noticed lots of people on Facebook writing their thoughts on
this movie or that movie. It's understandable. Who do you talk with about
movies you've seen if not your friends? I listen to these comments. Then I
decide whether or not they will influence my decision about seeing that movie.
Other
people's opinions are fine. Everybody is entitled to have their own opinion. If
I listen to the comments of someone I know shares my likes and dislikes, then
their opinion might effect my decision. If they have completely different likes
and dislikes, their comments are not likely to effect my decision.
Isn't
that the way it's supposed to be?
What
about you? Seen any good movies lately? Read any good books?
