I dunno, a snap has a metal backing to offset the brittleness of MOP (which is beautiful to my eye), nothing wrong with MOP snaps. A button is a brittle thing, though I've never had any snap on me, not even thin ones.

Harry Potter movies are boredom inducing, I don't understand the love at all.

I saw the first one. Terrible. Adults should be somewhat embarrassed if they spend time on the books or films.

The books were phenomenal the movies were shit

Dear Everyone On Grailed,
Don't send me a dozen messages asking various minute details about something I have for sale, and then offer me a quarter of the price I have listed. Go fuck yourself. If you do that, I won't even sell it to you at full price out of principle.
And secondly, stop wearing so much fucking cologne. Everything I buy off grailed shows up stinking like drakkar noir. Wash your fucking clothes and buy better cologne.
This is why I prefer selling stuff on the IH forum. Sensible human beings.
(probably more of a rant than unpopular opinion, this thread was just easier to find)

Lol they some stank mofos on here that don't wash their BO out before they ship you their clothes. They'll remain nameless, but we aren't saints here

Thankfully I haven't run into them yet. With grailed it's like a 50% chance of a stink bomb showing up at the post office.

This x10. And while we're on the topic, cologne is not an alternative to regular personal hygiene. You guys know who these guys are, haha.

I'm not even sure Steve McQueen pulled them off. They are awful.
Though to be honest, I think the A-2 is even worse.

Sick of Hollywood milking film franchises.
Comic book film franchises are especially tiresome to this grown-up, and are just another way Hollywood demonstrates a wholesale lack of creativity and risk-taking, exactly like all the other relentless reboots of proven literary or film franchises. I would welcome more originality. Taking risks is how great art is made, and seeing more big budget feature films that are artistry instead of movies that are escapist, commercial drivel could be great. I would welcome letting certain sleeping dogs, such as the up-and-down, but generally still great Indiana Jones Trilogy, lie instead of besmirching their legacy via an artistically bankrupt cash grab tacked on. It would be interesting to see what crazy screenplays are escaping us, and a tempered obsession with existing franchises would allow more exposure of new writers and ideas.
In a similar vein, I don't like the concept of celebrity actors / movie stars, unless they truly are chameleon-like and legitimately the best person for the role (see Meryl Streep). I'd instead prefer a film featuring skilled actors who were completely unknown to me. Lord knows there are enough of them. I don't want to think of Robert Downey, Jr. playing a role. If it's an unknown actor without the celebrity baggage, to me it makes for a more believable character and provides more opportunity for other actors (while also trimming the film budget significantly).
From a business perspective, I get it. I don't expect Marvel, DC, Mattel, whoever publishes Harry Potter, etc, or their enablers to say "no" to the money-hose, be it a proven franchise in terms of story or actor… The solution would be to have a public less obsessed with these franchises (story AND celebrity) in the first place such that the endless milking and rehashing can finally stop, and we can see scripts with novel ideas make it to the screen. Hence, an unpopular opinion.
TL;DR: More Terry Gilliam, less Michael Bay.
