Much like major debates over the best types of cheese or type of french fries, movies also have lots of strong opinions and have led to fights. The people over at "Rolling Stone" decided they wanted to ignite a major internet incident with their recent article.

Now "Rolling Stone" knows that some of the opinions in their bad movie-making article will upset some readers and they invite those who have strong feelings about it to share those feelings with them over on X (formerly Twitter).

Some highlights include, Will Smith made it twice . . . for slapping Chris Rock AND for turning down "The Matrix" to make "Wild Wild West". Or how about Whoopi Goldberg's buddy-cop comedy action flick where she teams up with a dinosaur in 1996’s Theodore Rex.

They even touch on Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars Episode 1 as well as Matt Damon turning down Avatar and the 10% on the backend and so much more!

29 Movies That Turn 40 in 2023

When looking at the movies that turn 40 in 2023, one thing is very clear: 1983 kind of ruled!

In 1983, a holiday classic was born with A Christmas Story. Meanwhile, a star was born in Tom Cruise thanks to Risky Business. Women started cutting up their sweatshirts thanks to Flashdance, and a new sex symbol was born thanks to that gold bikini in Return of the Jedi. We also said hello to a little friend (Scarface), gave our daughter the shot (Terms of Endearment) and were gagged with a spoon (Valley Girl.)
