Obviously, I would disagree with you on the merits of BBM, Hewene,
But you want to know the stupidest thing about that? Not a single, solitary one of my "friends" has asked for one word of explanation or discussion as to why I feel that way. I've become a non-entity because I cannot join in the swoon for BBM.
No one likes to see their opinions about a work dismissed,
Yet that's precisely what I've seen. I really feel now, and have a different understanding, for the folks who got stomped on for saying they disliked any of the LOTR movies. Because I have universally seen (except for Pearl) my posts and comments about BBM either totally ignored, glossed over, or dismissed. No requests for explanation. No puzzled replies. Since I was not ready to rave and squeal about the movie, I have been summarily exorcised from pretty much all discussion going on by my friends. And I get it. They want to squeal. They want to swoon. They want to adore. Why bother hearing from someone who doesn't agree with you?
The hostility that has followed the Oscars was just the icing on the cake.
