I rarely ever see posts that are sort of "contradiction positive" - posts where someone says "I was wrong about that until I read your post on __________" for example .............what instead you get way more is more "affirmation positive" posts which is just sort of more "I loved ________ too!" So what's something in general you were like "Damn, looking back on it, I was so wrong on that!" - it can be on any topic - not just movies........food.......politics.........sports.........current events...........anything. For me, I was totally wrong on womens soccer. I didn't post about it or anything but I didn't give a sh it up until the last 3 games and ended up kind of under its spell and if you told me that before that I would have said "Nah, don't care".................. Now I'm thinking maybe I should pay more attention to the Tour de France

There are probably well over a hundred movies I've seen that I've changed my mind about on some level. I got seriously into film really, really young and so a lot of the stuff I first saw as a teenager I've significantly reevaluated. And other times my perspective on something just changes, like realizing I didn't give something enough credit or I liked what a director was doing more on reflection, or, on the other hand, overlooked something stupid that now bothers me since its been brought to my attention. For food, yeah, Wendy's gave my ass food poisoning the last two times I've eaten there, so I'm going to say I no longer find it as endlessly tasty as I used to.

I'm with Redhawk, in that a lot of movies I liked when I was younger make me weep for my poor childhood. Although just as many movies I latched onto (The Maltese Falcon, The Conversation) are legitimately great.
I do remember calling George Miller a hack who had never directed a good movie back when Fury Road was getting buzz. The only Mad Max film I had seen was the first one (which I rewatched in preparation for FR, and yeah it's kinda crap), and I was fervent in my Miller hatred.
Then I watched MM 2 and 3 and both were actually pretty great, and then Fury Road blew me away to the point that I felt it necessary to write an apology saying that y'all were right and I was wrong.

Oh honey, trust me when I tell you that I'd love to be wrong... but sadly as a movie star surrounded by yes men, it's just not permitted... Even my assistant is agreeing with me... incidentally, my aim has improved greatly by throwing overarm versus underarm... I know I'm right about this.

I do recall that one time when you thought you were wrong for ruining that young actors marriage but then later decided that was the right thing to do.........so technically at first you were wrong about thinking you were wrong.
Louis B. Mayer once told me if loving you was wrong he didn't care what insurance policy you had taken out on him.
I remember at least 3 police reports I helped fill out where we said several witnesses had identified you wrongly and of course there was that National Enquirer headline "MsMovieStar rubs movie hunk the wrong way" which we then sued them for had them re-tract and change it to "MsMovieStar rubs movie hunk the RIGHT way"

I'm never wrong, I'm just sometimes mistaken.
Recently, though, Thor. I used to consider it my favorite Marvel movie... now, not so much.

Ok, lately a lot of stuff - even for me: * Djoko winning the US Open (didn't bet but I would have..........a lot too!) * The Reflectors new album being "great" (it's meh but not "great" ) * I'm assuming Kristen Stewart in Spencer who I pretty clearly thought would bomb in this role (haven't seen it but still......looks to be dead wrong) * ...........and I just made a post where I used the term "palate cleanser" but spelled it "pallet" before editing my post like a half hour later because my gf read it and burst out laughing and is currently mocking me and it's 3:00 AM for fncksake but she's (correctly) not buying the "I am tired" argument ........ "palate" though? Did other people know that the spellings "palate" and "pallett" are not remotely close in definition.......what else do other people know that I don't? Grrrrrrrrr........

2022 edition: * Djokovic - apparently missing the US Open - I would have said after Wimbledon, he was a lock to play and this country would find some exemption for one of the fittest people on the planet to hit a fncking tennis ball in NYC but alas, no * That there'd be a "great" American movie by August 1, 2022.......nope.........and I don't mean Nope.......I mean "Nah" * That the best posters who've disappeared a bit would be back by now......TerryMontana, longtallsally, wilcinema, morton.....

I thought Johnny Depp would have surely lost his case, but I obviously underestimated how terrible the US is for women.

Just so far in 2023: * That Kevin McCarthy would never be House Speaker * That they'd never arrest anyone as the Idaho college killer * That the chicken salad in the fridge was still ok to eat

❤️ Jennifer Lawrence ❤️
I’m so happy to be wrong about her lol
I thought she was overrated af and annoying. But a few years ago, I realized she’s actually special and is incredibly talented. I think SLP being her Oscar win was a bad intro for me and her subsequent performances apart from The Hunger Games didn’t showcase her talent properly. I still think SLP is absolutely nothing to rave about
But I watched Winter’s Bone again and was blown away by her raw talent especially at only 18. I desperately want to see that JLaw again bc I fucking LOVE her now and will defend her with my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Welp. There goes my Top Gun BP prediction... (not that I think it deserves to win, I think Tar is the best of the nominees)
But hey, where’s the fun in Oscar predicting if you always go the safe route and don’t go out on a limb every once in a while?

Just wanna say that such realizations come with exciting feelings... scary since one realizes they were a moron got a lot to learn yet... a little heart-warming because shows life could still be surprising / interesting / not-quiet-as-shit-as-you-imagined.
