What makes these movies special?

Okay, so most people are okay with everyone having their own opinion about movies and songs. You can like and dislike what you want and I'll like and dislike what I want.

But sometimes a movie will come out that people will either like or feel that they are supposed to like. In conversations, if someone didn't like it, then they, "obviously didn't understand it". What is it about these movies that makes some think others are inferior for having an opinion that is different than theirs?

This recently happened to me with "Lost in Translation". I did not care for that movie very much. Granted, I did sleep through the second half which probably didn't help much, but I didn't like the first half at all. When I said I didn't like it, people looked at me like I was from a different planet. Why can't I have an opinion about that movie? I'm allowed to not like other movies. What is it about that one and certain others? I just don't get it.

Life of a dog

Sometimes I feel jealous of a dog's life...But then I remember the being neutered thing and the not being able to take a leak all day thing and I suddenly am not so jealous.

You Can't Take it With You

Why do they call it "taking a dump" instead of "leaving a dump"? I mean, you aren't actually taking it anywhere.

What is wrong with the airline industry?

Well, the title of this one pretty much sums up my thoughts. I don't understand how a company can get away with lying to the public so much. I swear they have a magic eight ball that gives them the excuse to give to the people waiting.

"sorry folks it looks like we have some..." "...bad weather in..." "...your destination city...You should be on board within 10-15 minutes"

Meanwhile, you sit there for the next two hours listening to new excuses every 10-15 minutes. If it's going to be 2 hours, tell me so I can go do something else, and don't lie to me. We aren't all morons.

So here's the thought part of it...How can these airlines continue to get away with almost never being on time, lying to the public, and losing my luggage? They wonder why they are losing money. Get some sound processes down!!
