To me, good actors separate themselves and their character when on screen.
Dwayne Johnson horribly fails at this, some will argue that he is already a big star but the fact that he is usually a big tough guy and even does Rock Bottoms proves that his characters in the movies are just The Rock but with a different name.

This brings up a question I've had for the longest time. Why on earth do pro wrestlers make such terrible actors? You would think the big name ones would at least be passable seeing they technically do it for a living!
I guess maybe they can only do it well if everyone else is literally in their underwear?

I'm not sure why but most athletes/singers that try to become actors are usually rubbish at it. Terry Crews is one I can think of off the top of my head that is decent, usually funny in comedic roles like Everybody Hates Chris, Brooklyn 9-9 and the only funny part of The Longest Yard. His 'Euro-training' scene in My Wife and Kids still makes me laugh.
Harry Styles is in Christopher Nolan's 'Dunkirk' and that makes me cringe, not saying he WILL be bad but I can't be the only one who thinks he is a d***.

On the subject of movies, The Lion King isn't all that great really. It's about average at best compared to other Disney movies. I suspect the hype behind it is mostly due to nostalgia more than anything. Having first watched it two years ago, I can't say that any aspect of the movie stuck out to me nor does it leave me wanting to watch it again.

On the subject of Disney movies, no matter how much people hype up Frozen or the previously mentioned Lion King, the clearly best and most touching of them all still remains the Goofy Movie. 
This opinion may be partially affected by the fact that I don't give a damn about any of the princess movies due to their girliness.

Here's a couple of my unpopular opinions:
- I actually really liked The Angry Birds Movie, even though I'm not a fan of the games.
- I despise Papa Roach (Getting Away With Murder was their only good song).
- I don't like bacon or spaghetti.
- I honestly never minded Jar Jar (I just wish he got less screen time).
- Cars is my favorite Pixar movie (Cars 2, on the other hand, yeah, that sucked big time).
- Abortion should be legal because it should be up to the woman to decide what she wants to do with the baby.
- 1980 was hands down the worst year in music history.

Maybe less so than you think.
I choose not to eat bacon, pork, ham, or meat from any other magical animals - but damn it smells good when being cooked.

This is more of a fact but the majority choose to reject it.
Suicide is not selfish. I guarantee you that not a single selfish thought goes through someone's head when they get to that point. In fact they think they are doing everyone a favour.
Source. I have been there.

My father racked up debts, then killed himself. My siblings and I were left responsible for the debts. I very much doubt that he had considerations of that in his head before he did it, but it in part at least was certainly a selfish act because of that.
Turns out though that I would have gladly paid that price to have him irrevocably removed from my life. I feel a renewed sense of relief every time father's day comes around.
I knew it was an upcoming event at the time, and had no thought of intervening. I suppose that might be somewhat an unpopular opinion, while we're here. That not intervening is ok, and maybe even a morally superior stance to adopt.

- Most Movies that are nominated for Best Picture are completely ****.
- Cars 2 wasn't too bad of a movie (I'd give it a "just pass" grade).
- My order from best to worst star wars (III, V, I, IV, II, VII, VI)
- F&F lost its charm after the 4th movie.
As someone who had a friend who was in that state. I do agree it isn't selfish but they show a huge lack of consideration of what other people think and just assume negative things with their thoughts clouding them of any positive.
Wanting to kill yourself just terrifies everyone else and horrifies them not to mention uncomfortable aftermaths to think about. When I heard that my friend wanted to kill himself and thought it would do me a favour, I was horrified, I wanted to rush to his house and hug him but I lived 50 minutes away. This was the first time I ever cried myself to sleep since I couldn't do anything.
In the aftermath, I developed a bad mood towards people with emotional problems which I wasn't proud of, I lost the same friend because of it. Though a couple of months later, I was able to remove my negative side and was eventually able to patch up with my friend and we are now still friends to this day. I now try to support my friends as much as possible so they don't end up in the same state.
Suicide is never a good idea whether or not you think it is selfish or not.

Just curious, how much mainstream German Music do you listen to, on a daily basis? Feel free to round up to the nearest hour.

I'm not sure you should speak for everyone on this one. Aside from the wide range of scenarios that will have been different to yours, the lack of a suicide note in the majority of cases means it's not really possible to know what other people are thinking right before they do it, let alone guarantee it. I'm not saying it is, or isn't, a selfish act - in some cases I'm sure it is, in some I'm sure it isn't.
