"Lord of the Rings beats it."
Snorefest. Out of the thousands of movies I've watched in my lifetime, there are probably less than five that I found too boring to finish, and the third LotR movie was one of them. I saw the first two, and did finish them, but they were utterly forgettable and I've had zero interest in ever watching them again. The fans of LotR seem to be from the same crowd that played Dungeons and Dragons during study hall back when I was in school. "Look, I'm an elf!"
"Better scores on rottentomatoes, metacritic, imdb and won more Oscars. You lost today kid, it doesn't mean you have to like it."
Your argumentum ad populum fallacy carries no weight whatsoever. So no, he didn't "lose," since he stated an opinion, and opinions, by definition, aren't falsifiable. Anything that's falsifiable is a fact (or factual error), not an opinion.

Couldn't care less your opinion on the lotr films. It is far better than the overrated star wars films. I like that generalization you made about people who enjoy LOTR. Yeah you know it's totally impossible for someone to just think they are good films they have to fit the generalization you came up with...
He in an earlier post stated that Star Wars was rated better than LOTR. That isn't an opinion that's a statement. I disproved that statement. He said it's the greatest trilogy ever, did he ever say imo? Nope he did not! If you are going to reply to a post not addressed to you know the post history between the people posting. You made yourself look ignorant, now kindly piss off.

"He in an earlier post stated that Star Wars was rated better than LOTR."
That's irrelevant, since that's not the post you replied to, and you didn't reference any previous post of his in your reply.
"He said it's the greatest trilogy ever, did he ever say imo? Nope he did not!"
That it's an opinion goes without saying, because movie preferences are subjective.
"If you are going to reply to a post not addressed to you know the post history between the people posting."
You're posting on a public forum, obviously. Send him a private message if you want to ensure that you don't get any replies from people who don't know or care about you two's post history from other threads/subforums. Anything not present in this thread is irrelevant. If you want to make it relevant you have to bring it into this thread by directly referencing it.

Why are you PMing me, numbnuts? I didn't say to PM me, I said to PM the other guy "if you want to ensure that you don't get any replies from people who don't know or care about you two's post history from other threads/subforums."
And yes, when referring to something subjective such as movie, music, food, etc., preferences, it goes without saying that it's an opinion.
