I’m going to go on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and scream at the animatronics like I have schizophrenia. It’s my form of protest.

Don’t forget to make a video of it. And also to film vertically.

Actually you shouldn’t film vertically. it might seem easier to hold your phone that way, but it is actually quite annoying to watch things that were filmed that way. There is a thing referred to as Vertical Video Syndrome and i fear you have it.

=p

I think you knew I was being non-serious, but answered as though I was.

I’m happy he did, because that video is great.

Oh, I see how it is! When I post the video in response to something, nobody bats an eye, but when “That’s a lotta” Dahmage posts it, it’s the best thing since Bread was a good time for me! 😉

Why do you find specifically Disney’s treatment of star wars so bad compared to before? We didn’t have the oot then either, so yes that’s bad but it’s not something Disney put in place. And I understand you don’t like the sequel trilogy and while I do I understand people not liking it but I don’t see how anybody could rationally say they aren’t better than the prequels. Even if they are less original than the prequels, they are way more competently made.

I can appreciate that the prequels at least came from somewhere that wasn’t a corporate board-room meeting. Rogue One being almost entirely reshot is an example of the soulless corporate meddling and the lack of any real vision. I get that the films are more competently made, but there’s nothing particularly interesting, memorable, or stylistic about the technical aspects so it doesn’t mean too much to me since I find the Disney movies at least as boring as the PT. I also think that the PT was slightly more creative than the new movies, and that means something to me.

Yep.

All I see is a bunch of Robot Jox ripoffs.

I think Jaws and all three Indiana Jones films are the only ones for me.

Brown. Because this is apparently the “hair colar” thread. Paja should get right on that and make multiple threads to take the place of the “what you look like” thread. 😉

I’m sure they all start paja if he’s in the mood. He seems like the kind of guy that’s easily turned on.

Something that was never mentioned in the Knick Knack thread is that Warb’s recent assumption was actually correct. It was an animated porno before it was censored for theatrical exposition, and of course it was censored again later on. I have a fourth generation VHS dupe of the actual original cut, and let me tell you, it’s almost as good as the deleted Luke/Leia scene in ESB.

Fahrenheit 451

I think I’ll stick with the '66 film.

Yes.

Doesn’t the “Quotes Thread” already exist?

My opinion is that the joke is funny, not that the film is bad. I don’t have an opinion of the film, though I do think the twelve year shoot is inherently pretentious if it isn’t good.

That’s a dumb thing to think. If it isn’t good it’s not pretension, it’s just a failed experiment.

I suppose you’re not wrong, I just find it pretentious in an attention grabbing sort of way. Look at me, I spent a long time shooting this movie, now give me oscars.

So anytime a filmmaker wants to experiment with the filmmaking process it’s pretentious and attention grabbing? You don’t think it’s an interesting concept at all?

As for “now give me Oscars,” that’s ridiculous. This kind of thing is right in Linklater’s wheelhouse and he never gets nor (I would presume at this point) expects Academy recognition.

I guess it just seemed that way to me. It was a big marketing point IIRC.

It wasn’t. The movie wasn’t even really marketed all that much. The 12 years thing was all word of mouth.

Thing is, the movie is good.

Some beg to differ. But I won’t argue about the quality of the film since I ain’t seen it.

Exactly mfm’s initial point.

But mfm’s point is moot because I was never commenting on the quality of the film. I made a joke about people who think you aren’t allowed to dislike it because people were disagreeing with Handman about Birdman being better.

Nobody thinks people aren’t allowed to dislike it.

I’m pretty sure they made that follow-up video because they got a lot of flak online for not saying it was good.

They didn’t get any flak. Read the comments of their original video. It’s nothing but agreement. They got flak for not pretending to like Rogue One and I think they got some flak for hating Man of Steal, but other than that I can’t think of any of their reviews getting any backlash. I know my RLM, by the way. I know their stuff by heart.

Look, our memories on this subject are obviously contrary to each other, and if I’m going to be perfectly honest, I trust your memory/re-reading of comments over my own memory, so I’m happy to be wrong.

EDIT: I also think that it’s important to throw in here that you keep using the word “some” to refer to the critics that don’t like Boyhood, but you’re obviously specifically referring to one entity, which is two reviewers, one of whom disliked it and the other thought it was a mixed bag and then that same entity obviously later played up their negative review to a hyperbolic extent for attention and comedic effect.

There are other people who didn’t think the film was good. Mike and Jay are just a primary example since they started the joke that I referenced.

Name me one. I know that there are others that don’t like it, but you are obviously basing all of this off of one specific outlet and one outlet only.

I guarantee you that at least one of the comments in agreement came from someone who actually saw the film. I’m not going to look up any other reviews to appease your need to feel superior to me.

I don’t even like the movie that much, I just don’t like the RLM worship, and the reason I hate the RLM worship is because I actually really like RLM and don’t like the attitude of most of its fanbase.

I’m not worshiping RLM. I find their gags funny, so I reference them from time to time. God forbid someone reference a joke from the internet.

RLM fans often treat RLM videos as scripture or gospel. There’s an attitude to it that I don’t like.

I’ve disagreed with their reviews multiple times in the past. I’m sure most of these worshipful fans are just like me. I like their jokes because I find them funny, and because of that I reference them from time to time. I will admit that their comment sections sometimes have an excess of that sort of thing though. And like I said, they have referenced the “12 years to make” joke since that follow-up video.

I like the joke, so I referenced it when relevant in the thread, sue me.

If you get the pizza “fresh” it doesn’t get hard too quickly. It is annoying when they sit on the shelf for ten minutes before you buy it. You’re right that it doesn’t take long to get stale. I’ll have to ask my friends about trying out Domino’s.

Have their prices gotten better? I seem to remember them being on the more expensive side of the fast food pizzas.

Which was how many years ago? I’m just curious if our experience is comparable.

CHEWBAKAspelledwrong said:

Also Papa Murphy’s isn’t that good.

How many times or how long ago have you had it?

The pizza is a little gross, but there’s some flavor in the cheese and it’s an easy five dollar meal. My friends and I get Little Caesar’s on most days we play DnD because it’s cheap and fills us up. And when we get them cheese breads with it, it’s all good.

I haven’t had Domino’s in a long time, but Pizza Hut is disgusting and Little Caesar’s is kind of gross (their Italian cheese bread is great though). I don’t actually mind eating those fast food pizzas though.

Because I like the pizza better when it’s hot right out of the oven. That is harder to get unless I eat it at the restaurant. Typical travel time of a half hour before I get a cooked pizza home and served, it’s already cooled off and partially congealed. With Papa Murphy’s it’s like I’m eating it at the restaurant when it’s still fresh out of the oven. I can also cook it to exactly the done-ness I prefer.

All of this and it tastes better than other chain pizza places pizzas.

+1000

I’m not sure what you guys don’t get about “it tastes really good.”

I said that it’s great because it tastes good, and is great quality people pizza for the price, not because take n bake is genius. It is a good system though, as the above explain.

Neither do I!

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a perfect film.

I would actually make a serious argument for Raiders of the Lost Ark.

+1

That’s the only film I’ve ever been able to call my favorite.
