OKAY WHAT? She said what? Is that a direct quote? Verbatim? Man what the hell…..Kelly said. "Jesus was a white man, too. It's like we have, he's a historical figure that's a verifiable fact, as is Santa, I just want kids to know that.”

Wait you havent watched Tropic Thunder? I tagged you in jest because darthska said "unpopular opinion" but I figured youd seen the film. If you havent seen it, I do suggest taking the time. If you have seen it and still dont find it funny, no argument since I'm not going to tell you what you should laugh at. Personally I felt like the writers satirized Hollywood and the ignorance flowing throughout it. Not just with RDJ's character but just about every single one of the characters, down to the producers and directors lack of empathy/cultural awareness of literally anyone that's not themselves.Those who watched the film are better qualified to critique it. All I said was if you @ me thinking I’m going to help you defend the RDJ blackface movie, you picked the wrong one.
It is though.No way is Napoleon Dynamite as funny as it's fans act.
Where exactly did I try to convince anyone of anything?darthska is a good dude, but he gets a little to invested in declaring the things he doesn’t like to be “trash” or “overrated”. It’s OK to just not like something other people do. You don’t have to convince those others they’re wrong.

If you're going to speak on my intentions, make sure you're right about them.
'Not for me' is no different than 'Big trash' is no different than 'Worst movie ever.' No attempt to proselytize, implicit or explicit.
'You're wrong. It's big trash' is the same as 'I wish more people would see how terrible this movie is.' Clearly trying to alter the opinion of others.
It's ok for a sensationalist opinion to just be an opinion. You don't have to interpret the sensationalism as more than that individual's opinion.

How lucky for him. I just hope you don't expect ska to help you in a few months when you begin to regret throwing away your one-time name change in honor of a since-banned user who didn't even seem to notice.This is why I only @ darthska out of the moderation team in here
Hollywood casting is absolutely ripe for satire, though these writers appear guilty of that themselves with respect to other roles (e.g. Zoolander 2.)Wait you havent watched Tropic Thunder?

I am trying to say more than 'I personally don't care for it.'If you say so. Seems curious to me that one would chose the words “big trash” just to say “I personally don’t care for it“ if that person wasn’t trying to say more than that.
Flip the script: say I offered a positive opinion a few notches above 'I like this movie', something like 'This movie is a diamond among coals,' and I said it more than once. Would you think I was proselytizing?And do it more than once about the same movie, for example.

As it stands, 'Not for me' and 'Literally the worst movie I've ever seen' are still just 2 opinions of displeasure. That the second has more energy behind it doesn't make it an attempt to convert anyone. The former is displeasure, the second is more energetic displeasure.
