i may have jumped the gun on the anti-authority bit, bit you are definitely anti-social, probably not in real life but definitely on this board. you do nothing for social cohesion and sow dissent and dissatisfaction here.
although i am not judging as i see that as a role that leads to stronger social evolution and cohesion ultimately ... paradoxial as that sounds.

... if by "anti social" you mean "i think most people in this business are undeserving of any respect because they're full of shit" - well.. then ya got me!
having a strong opinion about a movie is very odd right? why would you care? people have strong opinions and want to voice them, because other people have strong opinions about it. why does a high school kid need to wear t-shirts featuring all his favorite death metal bands? because first and foremost, he's saying "fuck you, i'm nothing like you". its not about the shirt or the band or the music or the song.. its about self identity and how he wants to be seen by others.
at the end of the day, its an ok movie that is visually stunning in IMAX 3d. it will just be another puppet show on DVD. but going so far out of your way to let everyone know you won't see it "because...." is a simple way of saying "whatever you do, i'm going to do the opposite because i'm my own person and no one has influence or control over me ... but me" (hence all the played out "sheeple" comments)...
