Boring?

Boring???

It’s not exactly high art, but I’ve certainly never heard that one before.

I wasn’t bored so much as unengaged. The protagonists were so underdeveloped that I didn’t care about them or their plight.

Ah ok, you had unreasonable expectations for a Flash Gordon movie. :p

Currently watching the new 4K 25th anniversary edition of Jurassic Park, and totally counter to my expectation, I think the CGI looks a lot better than it did on the 1080p blu-ray. Is this just a side effect of the HDR, or could they have re-rendered some of these effects?

I almost watched Flash Gordon once. Found out the title character was a football player, and decided against it.

He was a polo player in the Buster Crabbe version and in the comics. 😉

Football players are shitty people.

What a shitty thing to say.

I wouldn’t say it’s a shitty thing to say (it is mostly true after all), but it’s a silly reason to not watch a movie that has basically nothing to do with that.

Also it is a pretty massive generalization too I guess.

Especially when the generalization is a personal mass insult to hundreds of people.

Football players, just like everyone other group of people, are mostly shitty, but some are cool.

Hundreds? Lol I’d say a lot more than that. And it’s kinda like saying most star wars nerds are cynical basement dwelling virgins and deflecting criticism of that statement because some are.

My guess is that their a slightly higher percentage of shitty since they have to beat the shit out of other people to get ahead, not to mention they get the shit beat out of them.

But it’s still a generalization that’s probably too broad.

And I continue to insist it’s the dumbest reason I’ve ever heard for not watching Flash Gordon. Other than the musical number (which is hilarious) it barely comes up.

I think this might be the dumbest debate I’ve ever witnessed here. Which is really saying something.

Yeah but are you pro-football-player-in-cheesy-80’s-sci-fi-movie or anti-football-player-in-cheesy-80’s-sci-fi-movie?

I didn’t get into exact percentages.

I’m pro-Flash, neutral-leaning-con actual football players (excluding the protesting ones).

I will say that I knew a couple of football players in high school and college and they were all assholes, but that’s an extraordinary small sample size.

I also played baseball in high school (JV, I wasn’t good enough to make varsity) and they mostly were assholes.

Sports culture tends to churn them out. I’m not on a personal crusade against athletes or anything, but I’m sure as hell not going to go out of my way to make friends with any, because I’m an adult and I don’t have to.

Oh Christ, now I’m in the dumbest conversation.

Oh we’ve had plenty of equally dumb conversations. See Topic, Off.

Sports culture definitely amplifies shitty behavior since everyone kisses their asses all the time, but again, just like any other culture, most of it sucks and a little bit of it doesn’t.
