By contrast, religion presupposes that truth has already been laid out some two or three thousand years ago, and never changes.

Home Alone 2 (1992) - 7/10

I don't want anymore Sith. Use Dark Jedi or another sect of darksiders, but no freaking Sith! I'm sick to death of those shitty KISS rejects with their stupid names, 0-dimensional personalities, and red glowsticks.

Yeah but what about lighting/rehearsal Empire Strikes Back Yoda!?

I've been trying to read 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King recently, but I've currently lost interest in the story, so I don't know when I'll get through it.

When you say you hate atheism, you are essentially saying that you hate disbelief in gods.

Essentially, I am saying I hate the very concept that God(s) do not exist. If there is a defining term for the concept - rather than the adherence to the concept itself - I'd like to know what it is if it'll make my position clearer.

 

This is such a vague, and rather odd comment.

If I get this right, you are admitting that you do not believe God exists, but you completely resent the term "atheist" and refuse to be called one, because you hate them (but not all of them, because you are cool with your atheist peers here). Seemingly you hate them, because you hate the concept that God doesn't exist. Is that to say, you really want God to be real, but you don't think he is, so you are really pissed at him for it?

Maybe I am way off, I'd like to hear more.

*sigh* I'm not going to bother posting a list of horror films I've rated 7+. I'll simply make this single point: just because I don't give every horror film I watch - or the overall cruddy Friday the 13th films in particular - the highest score doesn't mean I don't like the genre; it just means I find the movies in question bad, average*, or just above average.









*There's nothing wrong with average. I like many average movies, I rewatch many average movies, and there are many average movies I would love to own on DVD.

Sure, that's fair, but if you only like the ones that are really well crafted like The Exorcist or The Thing or whathaveyou, why bother with schlocky b-movies like Wishmaster and F13part4? It just seems odd that you keep watching these bad horror movies that you don't enjoy. I mean, I like movies like F13 part 4, but if I wasn't into that sort of movie I would never bother with it.

If the Judeo-Christian God according to the most mainstream interpretations of the canonized books included the Bible is 100.100% real, then He's ultimately akin to a Lovecraftian deity: utterly alien and incomprehensible to humans (just not as indifferent to us as Azathoth and co. are) which would go a long way towards explaining why so many of His rules, regulations, and codes of conduct seem so bizarre and mutually exclusive from one another a lot of the time.

Of course, if God is so very alien to humans as to have wholey dissimilar thought processes, then the whole idea of man being "created in His image, after His likeness" kinda falls apart.

^If it were anyone but you making that statement, I'd assume you were talking about sex.

Meh.

The Omega Man (1971) - 5/10

Home Alone (1990) - 7/10

Only the Lonely (1991) - 7.7/10

Isn't the History Channel considered largely unreliable?

Why is Mace Windu such an overrated asswipe?

Why is the limitation of lightsaber colours to blue, red, and green (Windu's purple saber notwithstanding) such a stupid idea?

1. The restoration and (re) release of the OOT on DVD/Blu Ray/whatever.

2. No more Darths (that goes for the Sequel Trilogy and EU both).

3. More lightsaber colours beyond blue, red, and green (for ST & EU both, like above).

Dang, so it's just more of LucasFilm's half-assery.

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) - 5/10

A Goofy Movie (1995) - 8/10

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - 4.9/10

Enemy Mine (1985) - 6/10

Wishmaster (1997) - 6.5/10

"Kill me!? Oh, you are priceless, brat! I am eternal, child! I am the eater of worlds and of children, and you are next!"

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)

This series just gets stupider with each sequel - I can't believe I used to eat this tripe up as a kid. I will say two good things about the movie, though; Jason's makeup is rather impressive (this is the definitive version of Adult Jason IMO, even though I don't like the idea of him being the series' villain), and one of the most insufferable asshats in all of movie history gets a well-earned death by knife thrust into the back of his head (albeit far too late into the film's runtime).

4/10

I watched six other movies today (or perhaps I should say yesterday), but as I'm trying to cut down on the 5-6/10 reviews I post here, I won't bother listing them. That aside, I will still say that they were all better than the one with the hydrocephalic goalie from Hell.

The Rock wants to be in the new Star Wars films.

Ah, TF.N ... there are some decent posters and threads over there, but the chaff heavily outweighs the wheat. I rarely feel the need to visit or post over there anymore due to the strident "don't question the canon" idiots who dominate the show.
