Those elements In V for Vendetta and Dark Knight took me out of the movie.

I go to the movies to be entertained and forget about the real world for 2 hours of fantastic entertainment.

Hollywood needs to be reminded i could just stay home and watch Fox News or cnn instead. 

My 12.50 need not pay for a directors personal politics and using a movie to flip the bird at GW Bush is kinda a waste of time.

Agreed

Truest thing you've ever said man

 

 Ahhh..The good ol' days of the Ganja....Man, I miss smoking that shit. But I suppose we all have to take priorities in life when we become fathers.

 Still, I do miss my weed!!

And Ghost man, why you being such a dick...Over at Ady's thread you seem pretty cool, so why you being such an arse over here??

Just F'ing around...having fun :)

 

On another note, It really irks me when people  enjoy weed. Being high on life is the best and only way to go :p  If you need a substance to be chill/relaxed or to enjoy life more at times, I just feel sorry for those people. Dont mean to put anyone down directly, just on the topic.

The 360 is fine if you get the updated "Falcon" 360. It has the smaller CPU so it runs cooler. Here is a link to help you if you plan on buying a 360. It will ensure you purchase the updated 360 with the cooler running chip.

http://forums.xbox.com/15804553/ShowPost.aspx


I use my 360 for playing games and the 20GB is more than enough for just gaming. If you would like the ability to download new game videos and game demos then I would recommend  getting a 360 with a HDD. Getting a 360 with a HDD also allows you to download new "map packs" and other Down loadable content(DLC) that you would not be able to without the HDD. I download the occasional demo, they are usually around 1.2GB in size, but after you play them for a week you just delete them. After you "set-up" the 360 your HDD will have approximately 13GB of free space after it is configured. IF you plan to download Movies or TV shows I could see getting the new 60GB model, but only if you planned to use it for a media system. Also, supposedly around September the new 60GB model will be $299.

You forgot the apostrophe (looks like this ' ) between the X and the s. Should be "C3PX's XXX Links" as you have it is as if you are using the plural form of C3PX, which would mean there are more than one of me (and there is not).

Well, perhaps that's true, but, as C3PX said, it definitely seems like you're arguing that after the fact. You're devoting far more text and emotion to this than I am. If your point was to waste my time, you've only wasted more of your own.

Oh, also, I generally think logic is worth promoting even when the source I'm correcting is being purposely illogical. I just now have the added bonus of seeing you admit how illogical you were/are being. Thanks. :)

 

Perhaps? HAHAHAHAHAHA, that is too good. Whose wasting time, this is moderately entertaining. It means something to you that someone your speaking to online that you dont know admitted to being illogical on a internet forum...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


The pleasure has been all mine :)


Perhaps....that was great hahaha

Dude, shut up. You are really freaking annoying, and have managed to make an idiot of yourself as well as destroy the TDK discussion thread. If you think playing the "I was intentionally making retarded arguments and an idiot of myself in order to see how far others would take it..." card is going to dig you out, and make everyone think you are the cool one and the others are the loosers, then you are wrong. I would have recommended quiting while you were ahead (and that was a long time ago), but perhaps you still feel the need to have the last word. If this is the case I would recommend starting your own "ridiculous arguments" thread or something to that effect, instead of making everyone who is interested in real conversation about TDK dig through your crap.

 

Yeah your right, I really do care what a douche bag such as yourself thinks about me, Im trying to be cool in front of people I could care less about, ya got me :p. What a twat

Correction: You were unable to have what you incorrectly understood to be an "ill-favored" statement and should apologize for having assumed too much (in light of how seriously you take the offense of personal assumptions). There was nothing in what Ash said that required any interpretation of ill-favor.

 

On the contrary, you can get stabbed for being a called a "nit picker" from where I come from:p It has such negative connotation and implies so much about a person.

 

Sweet the ignore feature works.


Me being a nitpicker is not logically "contrary" to anything I've said, but thanks for trying again.

Oh well, whether you're ignoring this or not, you're a crybaby. Being an asshole won't solve that for you. :P

Hahaha your such a tool. No one called you a nit picker, Jesus your thick LoL. If you couldnt tell I have not cared nor taken this "argument," seriously at all with you. Hahaha its hilarious to watch you continue on. Watching you give a legitimate attempt at making "logical" arguments against statements that I make that are purposely outlandish, its very entertaining. The fact that your making arguments against statements that are not intended at all to have any substance shows how easy it is to tweak you. What a tool hahahaha

And you werent ignored your way to fun and easy to mess with :p

I Toyed around with using different styles of starfields when i was first starting ANH:R.Iit just didn't feel like Star Wars any more and just didn't look right in my eyes.

On a similar note. I have two minor issues with the star fields in ESB. Both take place during the end when the Falcon is being chased by Ties after they rescue Luke.

1) When they notice the SSD and "bank" right, the stars become brighter.

2) When they are about to jump into lightspeed, there is a "wandering" star field, it looks as if they are just drifting out in space.

Previous occasions when the Falcon has Jumped into lightspeed there was a "static" star field, showing they were on a course. I was wondering if you could possibly alter the stars so they dont not become so bright as they "turn," and if you could make the star field "static" during that last chase scene?

Well maybe its a family of Wampa's. Like Lions in the wild, the lioness stalks and captures the prey and brings it back to the male Lion. So we saw the female lion attack Luke on the surface and the male lion in the cave. This may be worthy of a Spin off "Meet the Wampas"

Tarnish yourself? I'm concerned about what was being said, not you. As far as personal things go, I'll be the first to admit that I can be an asshole as well and I don't really care.

I was simply reading the discussion and didn't like the way you preached about logic when you were twisting it terribly. The misuse of logic is one of my pet peeves (I can be very anal about it as I'm sure you remember). You were assuming things about Ash that went way beyond anything he assumed about you. Otherwise, before that point, I thought your impressions of the actual movie were easily worth reading.

 

Oh I understood perfectly that a statement was made about myself instead about the movie, and previous to that point I was having a discussion purely based off the movie, afterwards I could care less if I was making personal statements and acting illogical.

 

Because *Cue the dramatic music* just as you can not sit idling by kind citizen while logic is being twisted on the internet, I can not have an ill-favroed statement be directed towards me that is meanlingless and do nothing. A call to action is requried and that action is to act irrationally and defend the injustice even if it causes more injustice :p

GhostAlpha -

You didn't like it.  We get it.  Fine.  Now do you really need to prove that you're right, or that your opinions are better than ours?  If you didn't like the movie that's fine, it wasn't your cup of tea, but do we all really need to get into these bullshit heated arguments over it because you're too bullheaded to give anyone else's opinion the time of day?

 

You did like it we get that too but you continue to defend the movie. Its ok to defend it within this thread but not ok to "put it down." Pot calling the kettle black?

So I havent made every post all about the movie but, least we forget who took the discussion out of context of movie discussion and to personal motives of disliking it :) Again Pot calling the Kettle black.

No, I answered your question. Its often how things work.

 



I re-quoted myself showing you that I was not interested in your explanations to my reasons of why I did not like the movie after watching it twice. Especially seeing as the person providing the alternate explanations has shown on more than one occasion  he doesnt quite remember how all the scenes played out :)

 

Wow.  So you resort to name calling now?  Thanks for proving how much of an asshole you really are.

Yes, we see things differently.  I enjoy a good movie, even if it does have a few holes in it.  Apparently I enjoy a good movie more than about 90% of the population here.  It seems like most of you guys love nothing better than to tear the latest blockbuster apart when it doesn't match your vision of how the movie should have been.

Who gives a flying fuck how all the scenes played out?  Seriously.  Oh noes, I don't remember how a few scenes play out!  Guess what, it makes my opinion just as valid as yours, which is to say not very much anyway.  I technically was only mistaken on one scene since, after rewatching the fall scene 5 times, his cape does flare up and make sound, just like I said the first time.  I don't really care if it fits your vision of what's required to survive a fall like that.

I've said before that I don't care if something doesn't make sense.  I still liked the movie.  You have your opinion and I have mine.  Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.  The difference is, I'm at least willing to hear alternative explanations for some of the scenes represented.  You don't seem to give a shit either way.  As far as you're concerned, the scenes were stupid and that's all there is to it.  I have often wondered why you even bothered to explain the problems you had with the movie with an attitude like that.  Most people would at least be willing to hear an alternative.

 

HAHAHAHAHA. That was awesome. I have heard the alternatives from reviewers and fanboys (such as yourself) world wide. Maybe you are right about how truly amazing this film is its making ordinary internet users go crazy, The Joker has won. This movie is profound.

lordjedi said

I guess laying there and not moving just wasn't enough then.  I guess he had to say something like "Groan, that hurt."  Yeah, that would've made that scene so much better :P

Ok well Ill get the ones we’ve discussed out of the way first

The SWAT member riding shotgun making terrible comments throughout that entire chase scene

Shock...horror!  A no name actor gets the worst lines in the movie!  I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Fox having a problem helping Batman locate Joker, using the technology he created and when his morals have been at best questionable with what else he has done for Batman.

Uh, no.  Fox had a dilema because Batman suddenly wants to invade EVERYONES privacy in order to find one criminal.  This is probably the one scene in the entire movie that could be compared to our current government (not getting into it here).  I don't think anything else he had done until that point had been questionable at all.  Everything he did to that point involved helping someone that actually had the money and abilities to catch the bad buys, to actually catch the bad guys.

A yellow school bus driving out of a bank covered in rubble and everyone acting like that was a normal thing.

I thought it was funny actually.  I'm sure everyone did freak out (the shot wasn't exactly a close up) and I can imagine the calls to 911.  "A school bus just drove out of a bank".  So the cops would end up looking for a school bus and they'd find all those buses driving somewhere (maybe).  And that then assumes that Joker didn't simply drive it a couple of blocks and then unload it.

The whole scene recreating the fingerprint from a fragmented bullet was completely and absolutely absurd.

Much like almost every episode of CSI, right?

Making the convict out to be a “good” person by having him throw out the remote. I guess their trying to show not everyone is as messed up as the Joker, sorry the guys already in an orange jumpsuit…failure.

Or maybe they were trying to point out that the convict realized "I've had my chance.  I screwed up.  I need to pay my debt."  Just because you're in an orange jumpsuit, doesn't mean you have to be evil and take out a bunch of innocent people.  It seemed to me like he was willing to serve his time or even accept the fate of being blown up rather than take out everyone else.  In fact, a friend of mine said it would have been really fun if both detonators actually blew up the convicts anyway.  I think it would've been funny if the detonators had blown up the boats they were on.  I think that would've been classic Joker.

Batman not being Batman. Not attempting to stop Rachel and himself from falling. Not attempting to get the drop on The Joker in the building when he knew his exact location. Batman walking straight up to Two-Face when he had a gun to the kids head. Batman just walks around in broad daylight, so much for his secretive nature.Batman basically getting his butt kicked by The Joker and only accidently beating him.

Yeah, because Joker had been so easily surprised before.  And he didn't exactly "walk up to Two-Face".  If I remember correctly, he lept at him and it actually was a surprise.

Batman saving The Joker.

As others have said, this was perfectly within character.  If he had really wanted to kill him, he would've run him over with his motorcycle.

The Joker making a deal with the mob to get their money when he cares about nothing.

Others have already pointed this one out.  Joker only cared about chaos.  By burning his half, he made the mob realize how insane he really was.

Batmans longest and most physical fight was with the SWAT team.  He couldnt have incapacitated the first group, grabbed one of their comms and informed the entire team? Nah it was better for him to have fought all of them, that made more sense. I mean don’t have him fight the criminals/enemy for the last big fight scene.

Um, no, because they were no longer listening to him if you remember.  They were taking orders from Gordon only.  What would've made some sense, if Gordon had been willing to listen to Batman, would be if Batman had radioed Gordon and told him to have the SWAT team stand down because the "criminals" were just a bunch of kids all tied up.  But then that would've taken the dramatic element out of it and it would've meant that Gordon still trusted Batman when it was becoming apparent that he didn't.

The Jokers convincing of Harvey into becoming a cold blooded murder.

Yeah, I'm sure it was hard for Joker to do after Batman saved him instead of Rachel.

The Joker blowing up the hospital. (I have my reasons for that, I don’t wish to explain)

Um, ok.

Putting The Mayor out in an area impossible to control and extremely visible after a hits been placed on his life.

Maybe to draw the bad guy out?  I don't really know nor do I care.  It didn't really jump out at me as a bad thing.

Just in case you missed it at the top, because you apparently did from the original post.

And Im very proud of ya, you did just what I figured you would do.

 

lordjedi said: And he didn't exactly "walk up to Two-Face".  If I remember correctly, he lept at him and it actually was a surprise

 

Did you even see this movie? He walks right up to him and starts conversing with him. Only after revealing that he was there and getting shot does he leap at him. Selective memory much?

lol, you condemn a benign personal statement, falsely and directly accuse someone of absolutely "assuming things" and having poor "character," and yet, in the process, you're turning right around and doing all of those same things yourself. That's what you call being logical?

His perception of you as someone who isn't giving the movie a chance is a valid perception to mention in the context of this discussion. You're both talking about the flaws you mentioned and Ash doesn't think they were bad enough to actually ruin the movie as much as you think it does. He never claimed that his perception of you was the actual truth and he wasn't saying that in a way to attack you. He's simply trying to understand why you have such a strong opinion of it all (particularly in light of the fact that he defended his thoughts logically before that point). Your personal statements, on the other hand, are clearly hostile and designed to demean others (by comparison). Grow up.

(Yes I just said you're immature. Cry about it if you want.) :)
