Reply to TIL "A Christmas Story" was initially overlooked and only became a classic after Ted Turner purchased the rights and began airing it yearly on cable TV. by habalushy
I think it was overlooked because it was only an okay movie.

Reply to comment by shimadon in In the twin paradox, what happens if the travelling twin never U-turn to get back to earth? (explanation in the post) by PoufPoal
It's only a paradox due to misunderstanding what is happening.
It's not the motion or velocity that causes the time dilation, it's the acceleration. The twin on the ship experiences acceleration (which is absolute, not relative) while the Earth-bound twin does not.
Once you take this into account, the paradox is easily solved.
