Look, I usually don’t resort to ad hominem attacks, but are you intentionally trying to sound retarded?

Oh you lovely human being.

Deflecting because you can’t answer my question, noice.

It’s a nonsense question, retard.

EVERYONE USING “RETARD” AS A PEJORATIVE SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Seriously.

I was just giving back to him what he was dishing out, you don’t have to get upset about it.

Congratulations.

If he called you an n-word, or an f-word, would you call him that back?

JEDIT: Don’t answer that. I used to like you.

Yeah, what would we do without a regular poster belittling people.
So much better.

Oh and now you’re white knighting, it just gets better and better :’)
Look up the definition of the word, there’s more than just “mentally handicapped”; it is possible for words to have multiple meanings, boss.

Sometimes it’s the only way to get rid of people like you.

People like me? Who aren’t people like you?
Man I wish everyone could be more like you, the constant hostility towards everyone who opposes your opinion is so attractive.

You don’t need “scientific fact” to prove that a real tree looks more real than a cartoon one.
Similarly, you don’t need “scientific fact” to tell that the speeder chase in ROTJ looked crap when it came out and looks crap to this day. Just because something has a nostalgic value to you it doesn’t make it better.

Ok honestly. How do you say something that is created entirely digital looks more ‘real’ compared to something with actual props and real people?? Plus the nostalgia argument is a bit invalid as well. If most of us were arguing this for the sake of nostalgia, we’d all agree that the matte lines in the original films are better than without them, a big fat lie if I ever heard one. Im huge supporter of the OUT but I can compromise and say some things in the SE’s are better (Luke’s speeder, matte line removal, some CGI battle shots). So no the nostalgia factor doesnt work here. A big reason why a lot of fans prefer practical effects over digital effects is because theyre physical objects that in many cases sell the realism of the object more than digital. For instance, I will take puppet Yoda over CG Yoda ANYDAY! Yes the CG Yoda had more interactiveness and movement but we know which version looked ‘real’.

We have differing viewpoints here, it doesn’t have to ruin your whole opinion on me, Frink. 😛

Oh, so you weren’t using it as a pejorative? Interesting.

Dictionary definitions, the siren call of the asshole.

Because it is possible for CG objects and environments to more accurately replicate the real world than physical props.
I’m not saying all the prequels always accomplished this, but there are a few instances here and there where the CGI effects were more convincing than some practical ones from the OT.
I’ll be the first to say most of the PT effects are extremely dated, but that doesn’t mean every single one of them is bad now.

This is not an isolated incident, but regardless, using “retarded” as an insult and then defending it or excusing it gets you on my shit list. I’m sure you’ll get over it.

Sounds reasonable.

No, in all seriousness all you do is sit on these forums trying to make people feel like shit.
If that’s how you get satisfaction out of life I just feel sorry for you.

Nah, I think I’ll stay and disrupt the groupthink

My daughter has Asperger’s. She’s had to deal with all sorts of shit so far, and she’s only eight. She has a difficult life ahead of her. Not as difficult as others who are not high-functioning autistic, but difficult nonetheless.

Words have power. When you use “retard” to insult someone, you are insulting more than just the person you are talking to.

Go fuck off. I have nothing more to say to you.

Words only have power if you give them power, that’s your problem not mine.
Don’t try and use fallacies against me to make me feel bad, it doesn’t make you not an asshole.

If you want to go down that road I have multiple family members who are handicapped, stop being a prat and treating others like shit to make yourself feel better.

^You forgot the hashtag.

Real =/= better.

Ryan-SWI said:

From a technical standpoint the screenshot of TPM looks more real than that of ROTJ, which is ultimately what the filmmakers were aiming for: amazing special effects that felt real.

Sounds reasonable. (Frink, am I doing this right?)

Yes!
