I tend to stick to the originals no matter what type of music I listen to. So much can go wrong with remasters. but not with video games though. Video game remasters are always good.
*cringes*
Sorry…had to.
Why would you listen to a remastered Maiden album? lol
…it just seems like you’re trying to be “that guy” again. That’s all.
?
On occasion you say things that make you come off as wanting to be unique. And no your opinion on TFA isn’t one of them.
I guess I can’t deny that. The main point is that I had no idea how much universal acclaim and belovedness the film had before that conversation. (I don’t think I’ve ever particularly cared about its .)
Have you never talked with someone about Toy Story 2 before? You’re the only person I have ever met that has not liked it.
LuckyGungen gave a score that I found unreasonably high, and it seemed to me that he was most likely pulling his love for it completely out of blind nostalgia (not to offend or insult your taste, LuckyGungen).
I don’t like the film and I wasn’t being a cynical contrarian with my statements.
Well you called it a “cash grab sequel” because reasons which fits the cynical aspect and you dislike a film (including Rambo) most like which fills the contrarian part. And before you say anything I can be considered somewhat of a contrarian as well with some of my opinions but I think it’s the way in which you present your point of view. In your case I couldn’t shake off the feeling that you were perhaps trying a bit to hard considering it’s a kids film and not something like The Godfather.
Nightfall - Candlemass
The melodic riffing tho ❤️
I still want kids movies to be intelligently made. (Like the first one.)
I’ll forgive some things for being kids movies, but Toy Story 2 was just a crappy cash-in sequel.Calling a beloved movie (100% approval rating on RT at one point) you happen to dislike a “crappy cash-in sequel” reeks of pretentiousness.
We should be used to it by now…being super cynical is the new hot shit right now.
It sure is.
Even if it is “the new hot shit right now”, why should my opinion be seen as following trends and bandwagoning? Am I not allowed to display a differing opinion? You sound like the PT fanboys who claim making fun of the PT is “the in thing”.
(Also, people being cynical isn’t new.)
That sentence was an opinionated statement.
No one said you couldn’t state your opinion it just seems like you’re trying to be “that guy” again. That’s all.
And yes being cynical isn’t exactly new but this whole cynical contrarian thing is something that has come about in the last few years and has been played out for at least 3 years.
Lastly, your PT analogy doesn’t stick because Toy Story 2 is liked by most while most people don’t like or are indifferent to the PT.
bathory?
I thought that said Batlord.
If I had a cookie for every time I heard that one I would be bigger than Rick Ross
older Mayhem
Love them
the first two Emperor albums
Overrated but I like them. More of a Immortal, Darkthrone, Archgoat, Burzum, Impaled Nazarene, Mütiilation, Blasphemy and Dissection fan though.
lol
EDIT:
For some reason I never fancied you to like Black Metal. But if you do who are your favorites?
^ Up the Irons!
Wish I listened to them more but I only really listen to them when I’m in a pretty good mood.

I don’t even care how good Iron Maiden is or is not, that album cover is ridiculous.
No arguments here.
listening to this right now:
Ok I’m going to give my closing thoughts on the matter before departing from this thread.
In the 3 years I’ve been here I have purposefully not shown my disdain for religion because I knew something like this would happen no matter how I laid it out there. All I really have to say is that there is no evidence for a God of any kind and there is no evidence to the contrary. Given how efficient Science is at building the repository of data we have about our universe I am confident in the fact that there is more than likely no God. If you agree good for you; if you disagree good for you as well. As for Religion itself I believe that it was at once a necessary evil but like many archaic thought patterns it should be done away with. There is no empirical evidence for any events occurring in any religions and a lot of them copy each other so that exacerbates that issue quite a bit. In addition to this a decent percentage of certain teachings in Religious texts are morally reprehensible. They may have been acceptable way back when but we live in a different world now. Religion does help people through troubling times but there are multiple sources that have similar messages for those going through hardships and with none of the perversion of reality or history. I could keep going on but I think anyone reading this get’s the point.

No, I am not. I was pointing out the fallacy in your arguments. I concede it is very dangerous to be a Christian or Jew in the countries you explicitly point out; I was not challenging that, but only pointing out your fallacious generalization. You said that odds are, if you live in the ME and are not a Muslim, you’d be dead. Not true, because most non-Muslims in the ME live in countries where they are concentrated and relatively safe (Israel for Jews, Lebanon for Christians).

Only slight in this case. The bulk of the region is Muslim and the penalty for stopping death.
If you grew up in Middle East, you would be muslim.
Nope!
If not there’s a good chance you would be dead.
It wasn’t always that way, but you’re right, any non-muslim today is in incredible danger in almost any Middle-Eastern country besides Israel. I was just pointing out the misconception that every single person in the Middle East is the same.
Didn’t think I needed to specify whether or not I thought the entirety of the Middle East was unsafe for non Muslims…

This is a very narrow-minded and simplistic view of history. History is filled with revolutions and counterrevolutions and there have been instances in which populations drove towards atheism. It happened during the French Revolution and it has of course happened in every communist nation in existence, which, by the way, have been the most bloody and murderous regimes in human history.
You’re right but it is very disproportionate. Especially in ancient times.

Tis a shame. And the rotten among them give people like Trump reasons to generalize all of them.

Israel: 90% Jewish. Lebanon: 40% Christian.
What about places like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq?
If you say so.

No challenge there. All I am saying is that radical Christians/religious people and radical atheists are equally “in your face” about it. So your notion that normal religious folk have the burden of proof based on the idea that some religious folk shove God “in everyone’s faces” is blatantly ignorant and not self-aware.
Atheists shoving their beliefs in people’s faces is a thing that happened in the last few decades. Religious people doing it has spanned thousands of years…
Lord Haseo said:
shoved in everyone’s faces
And for one of those there are 30 of these:
And considering the fact the many MANY deaths that have occurred because people were so adamant about their God existing the burden lies in direction of those who assert his/her’s/it’s existence.
This doesn’t make any logical sense.
To you perhaps.
Even if we bring it to modern times the belief in God is shoved in everyone’s faces so shouldn’t the burden of proof be on the believers based on that?
And considering the fact the many MANY deaths that have occurred because people were so adamant about their God existing the burden lies in direction of those who assert his/her’s/it’s existence.
I said he threw shade.
You kids say the weirdest things.
Whatever that means (and I don’t care so don’t bother) I’m sure it doesn’t justify name calling.

This is why I hardly post anymore because I get sucked into conversations I don’t have time for. However, you seem to have an extremely ignorant view of what morals truly are. They are not universal, set in stone, or permanent. They are arbitrary based on cultural acceptance. What you believe you hold as the epitome of morality demonstrates your ignorance. Sadly, I have no more time to talk to you, and you don’t provide very intellectually stimulating conversation anyway, so I will have to allow others to carry on the fruitless effort of pointing out your fallacious and foolish argument.
I apologize for not being more open to reprehensible viewpoints.
Actually you seem to be a subscriber to them. You tout your tolerance of others, then demonstrate that you lack it. Well thought out.
I would have been perfectly content with actually debating but he wanted to poop on the ground, flail his arms about and act as if I was the one who initially started being rude.
I said he threw shade. I didn’t say he called me any names.
