NO, WRONG.
Oh. I did not know that.
It's a lot better than Alien 3.
Well it's official now, so accept it.
I guess I still haven't grown up in that sense. When I think of the word "woman" I tend to think of the older less attractive variety. So, being called a "girl" by me could be considered a compliment, if you want to take it that way.
Love that book!
Just watched Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe yesterday, which made me dig out my signed copy of that book to start reading it again. An updated second edition would be incredible.
I'll still vouch for Alien 3, but if I ever have to sit through Alien: Erection again, I'll intend to gouge out my own eyes and stuff them into my ears, hopefully it will make the experience just tolerable enough for me to make it through the film without having to end my own life, which I would be prepared to do if such an unbearable misfortune were to become a reality.
I think I'd actually rather suffer through watching Attack of the Clones* for a third time over watching Alien Resurrection for the second time.
*Though I really pissed off my friends by doing so, I am kind of proud to say the first time I watched Attack of the Clones I left twenty minutes or so in to go meet up with and make out with a girl I liked. Upon my return, which was after the end credits had rolled, I got some heavy "bros before hoes" lecturing. I felt kind of guilty about it and regretted not getting to see the film for the first time with my buddies, but in retrospect, I definitely made the right decision.
There were a few things I liked about them. I liked the whole racist Emperor's illegitimate alien lovechild idea, though in execution it got a little goofy, I liked the general concept. I kind of wish the idea of the Palpatine disliking aliens, thus their limited presence in the Imperial Forces, had been a concept visited in the PT. I also liked Zorba's dread beard. The subterranean droid filled city of the lost children was silly, but also a cool imaginative space aged fantasy element for a kid's book.
Lando moving on to become the owner of a theme park was a hilariously corny idea, and is still amusing to think about.

No, you're disputing the established topic of this sub-discussion, which is FACT and OPINION, not "fiction".
Shit! Used the wrong word on accident!
CP3S loses the thread. It's official.
NO, WONG!
twooffour said:
Yea, I dare arguing against a silly picture from the internet, how badass.
Listen, you clown, unless you can't be bothered, feel free to look at the graphic again. Does it mention "logic" anywhere?
It is a picture on the internet, but it isn't from the internet. You'll find that same breakdown of fact and fiction in 2nd grade reading text books all over the country. It isn't really "badass". "Nonsensical" or "weird" are more the words I'd have used. I mean, you are actually disputing the established meanings of "fact" and "fiction".
Not sure what "clown" you're talking to; but I'll answer your question about "logic" and how it relates to "fact" and "fiction". Logic is independent from fact or fiction and can fit into either category. Regardless of the logic involved, a fact is a fact and an opinion is an opinion. You can arrive at an opinion via logic, but it is still an opinion. You'll find facts that are as illogical as hell, but they are still facts. So it goes.
But hey, you want me to argue? Very fine.
I never said I wanted to argue. Can't be bothered. I'd rather just be amused while watching you try so hard.

So where does "logic" fit into the left half?
If I say that, in a music-film analogy, re-editing would be equivalent to remixing, and re-recording would be equivalent to remaking, would that be an opinion? Or fact? Would it be a logical fact? Or an opinion backed up by logic?
What about the other way round, remixing a recording is like reshooting a movie, while playing after a transcription of an audio recording, is like fan editing a movie?
Would that be also just an opinion? That can't be wrong? Would it be "disputable"?
Guys look! He's is now attempting to argue with the definition of "facts" and "opinions".
I LOVE THIS GUY!!!

So I take it the more a quote appears like some expression of fantastical arrogance and megalomania when stripped out of its context, the "funnier" it is. And the better it fits into your silly "list".
The great thing about these quotes is they are actually far more humorous displays of arrogance and megalomania when taken in context. Taking them out of context was simply for the sake of convenience in creating an amusing concise list. Fortunately, Fink figured out a way to provide a concise list of your megalomaniacal goodness that can be browsed at a glance, while also providing links to view the quotes in full context. It is pretty brilliant!
Keep up the good work twooffour! Off Topic hasn't been this much fun in a really long time.
Nice work, Fink!
NO, WONG.
Hehehe.
No, it just wasn't quite funny enough to be worthy of the list of Twofortwo quotes, IMHO.
I don't think I have ever heard the term "read that up" before.
Oooh, getting there! I liked the line about getting cocky, but can't really make it work in the list of quotes, unfortunately. Give it a few more tries perhaps?
I dunno. You're the humor expert. You tell me, I'll probably just be wrong anyway. ;)
Yet more disappointments... :(
You can do better than that. Come on! I've just been reading through the discussion about remakes, so many great quotes!
Hmmm, still nothin'. :(
Twooffour said:
For the record, I never thought you were under the impression the prequels were released before the OT.
Well you should've been, if reading what I said at face value correctly.
So let me get this straight, first you fail by taking an obvious lame joke at face value, and then you manage to even misread THAT?
I had warned you to just let this day go; this is why.
Why would I have taken the meaning of what you were saying at face value if I thought you were misusing the word predecessor? Predecessors would refer to works that came before, prequels refer to works that were made after but take place before. I really do get it, your joke was intended to imply that the prequels were not really prequels, but were really the first movies made, riffing on stupid fanboys. The reason why I missed the joke is because I sincerely thought you misused predecessor.
And I know you were replying to greenpenguino, but in your reply to him you suggested that someone who didn't get the joke (me) would have to have a very tiny brain. Throwing around unnecessary insults like that isn't really appreciated around here, hence my "what the fuck is your problem?" (which is a question, not an insult).

As a... condescending dumbass?
Oh. Sorry. I stand corrected. I guess you do know.

and (as you'll see) I don't care.
Probably best not to waste your time summarizing things you don't care about, Tim.
Why would I pretend not to get his joke? His first post mentioned a 4th movie in a series that was "the bomb", his next post just said "others" then listed two other fourth parts. In the context of his first post, I assumed those were also meant to be fourth parts that he thought were good, reenforced by the fact that I like both those films. If I missed any joke there, it was that he intended to call Episode IV a bad movie; silly me. The only thing I had to say about that was that even though it was the fourth film in a series, I didn't think it should be allowed to count as such since it was the first one made. No attack or insult here.
Then he said it was a lot better than the prequels, but he called them "predecessors" which prompted me to mention I felt he was using the word wrong, which caused him to start tossing unnecessary insults. But then things got really amusing, and I think it is safe to say some of us are kind of loving it. Twooffour is very entertaining. I think he has run out of steam for the day, but I expect good things in the future.

I give up.
All I can hope is that you're aware of the irony here, because you've proven to be capable of extreme irony blindness in the last couple hours.
Damn, still nothing worth quoting. :(

Just now? Have you never read a typical twooffour post?
"You must be an idiot if you think that..."
"You are so obviously wrong that..."
"It must be hard to be so wrong all the time..."
"Considering how obviously right I am in this instance."
"You're fighting on the wrong side right now"
"Quit this before you make more and more of an embarassment of yourself"
"Quoting douchey remarks of mine is really all you got left"And on and on and on.
:( For as many posts as he made over the last hour, not that many exciting new additions. Disappointing. Maybe if we keep working him up we'll get some more good ones.
For the record, I never thought you were under the impression the prequels were released before the OT. When I suggested you look up "predecessor" it was because I was under the impression you were genuinely trying to use it to refer to the movies that precede Star Wars in the chronology of the series. It would have been a pretty reasonable and honest mistake.
Also, when you say you've established yourself as a "condescending smartass around here", you seem to say it with a matter of pride. You obviously don't realize the way you come off in the eyes of your peers. (This would've been a good moment for that "Sherlock Holmes, is Sherlock" comment).
And neither did I with my neutral "humor transplant" remark, but instead of just accepting it, you had to insist on how "unfunny" my "joke" was
Actually, I never said anything about your joke not being funny, that was someone else. In retaliation to them you made a comment suggesting that I am really stupid, which is what got my back up.
twooffour said:
and he has an annoying tendency to pass his opinions as established facts all should agree with
No.
Hahaha! He quoted me then provided an example demonstrating just what I was referencing!
That is awesome!
I actually kind of like him now. He has the makings of a fine pet troll. Not exactly Zigfried potential, but potential none the less.
