No one in my family likes Rocky Horror and it kills me inside, I forced them to watch it, why wouldn’t they automatically love a coked out Tim Curry in drag? What’s there not to love!?!
*If you aspire to get everyone in the world to adore all the same things you adore, then you’ll sift out the people that don’t and be left with good friends who do.
To add to this: there is nobody who likes everything you like. There will always be things you/others enjoy but others/you don’t. So if you will be left with nobody of you actually do it like that.
That person was clearly unhappy about that one specific thing not being appreciated. That doesn’t mean they feel that way about every piece of media they enjoy.
And to be honest, it’s totally fair. When I recommend a movie to someone, it’s not because I want them to love what I love. It’s because I want to share my joy (or whatever feeling is appropriate to the piece) with them and it’s a bit sad if they can’t experience that feeling as well.
ok, you use the word “recommend,” while the person i responded to said “force,” which i’m sure doesn’t mean at gunpoint, but by being insistent, demanding, naggy, and other insufferable behaviors, and then got upset that they didn’t instantly become also obsessed.

I’m sorry to tell you that your family is broken.
if you aspire to get everyone in the world to adore all the same things you adore, then you’re in for a pretty disappointing life

not saying you’re wrong, but i was responding to someone who clearly isn’t happy about the fact that not everyone loves the same things he does

is that you?
You’re right, I glossed over the use of the word “force”. For those less forceful and more reasonable, my comment stands.
I went to a midnight showing in LA and Harrison Ford was there with his kid. Just to re-enforce that Harrison Ford is cooler than your family.
