Hi kevin yes theres no harm in discussing it that is the whole point m8 but
POD not only discussing his opinion but calling others for liking it now
thats why people get annoyed, how many films have you watched and gone great
movie must tell a friend and when you tell that friend hes or she says seen
it boring, get my point surely you wouldnt say to that friend well your a
whatever because he or she didnt like it.

People get easy offended on here, discussing your opinion is not wuite what
people are moaning about kevin. get my drift
