Tired of people pretending to be right just because their opinion is expressed with emphasis, strenght and wit; hardly a case to justify anything.

Tired of people being unable to accept someones differing opinions and pretending there is a right or wrong way to feel about such a subjective subject.

Well you tell me: If we are talking about a movie that takes place just before the events of ANH, should be shocked and appalled if the movie has storm troopers, Star Destroyers, Tie Fighers, X-wings and the like? Shouldn’t such a movies’ universe resemble the universe of ANH?

They werw saying that all the movie had to offer was nostalgia. If you missed thier point, that aint my fault. I’m not even saying I agree with em.

Well, I think it offered more than that. But, if that is what they think, we will just have to disagree with them. I am also not bothered by nostalgia. For this movie it was rather forced. The universe of the this movie had to resemble the universe of ANH.

basically it was "how dare they show anything that was in the ot movies. How dare they show R2D2 and C3PO. How dare they have Star Destroyers and tie fighters and x-wings and AT-AT and such. They complained about the Vader costume. They thought the characters were flat. They actually thought it should be more PTish. Stupidest review ever imho.

Their reviews accomplish what they’re intended to accomplish; Pages and pages of discussion on nerd boards all over the internet. The film has been out only seven days and we already have two pages of people here droning on and on about their video.

If you dig a movie, you should watch the movie. If you dig a movie and there are other people who slam it with online videos or people on our board slamming it with walls of text, you should watch the movie.

of course you should watch the movie, but there is also nothing wrong with saying you disagree with said review and saying why you disagree with. What they should have been trying accomplish, was the production of a good review of the movie.

This seems a bit inappropriate as a follow-up post to someone saying they lost their father this year.

It could be taken that way, but was not meant to be hurtful and unfeeling.

Mind telling me exactly wtf it was meant to be then? What was the point in posting this?

It’s called “levity”.

It does and you are.

Savages in action again.

Sorry, we’ll try to start insulting the recently deceased and claiming we’re never wrong, just like you do. I keep forgetting that’s what makes you the only civilized person here.

To be clear, that video was NOT insulting the recently deceased or people in mourning over a lost father. The video was showing how some people (Stephen Colbert’s character) try and control how others should feel and morn when they themselves have not and could not begin to deal with the death of their loved one. The video was supporting the right to mourn as one see fit. But of course over sensitive people made it into something it was not.

X and Y are quite different. Y much more effectively clears it up. X does not.

also

Levity: humor or frivolity, especially the treatment of a serious matter with humor or in a manner lacking due respect.

LIE!

You are such a stereotypical trouble maker! I gave you an accurate one word answer and you just chose not to like it! Now with that said, FUCK OFF!

Proof: http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1026448

again, I am going to report this.

  1. what I am more pissed off at is the reaction to my complaint about the post:

Warbler said:

Well, I don’t think it is a damn bit funny.

Get out of my thread or put me on ignore. It’s that simple.

Edit: Just to be clear, that is my kind and sensitive way of telling you to FUCK OFF!

This is unacceptable and inexcusable. I don’t care if I was misunderstanding the original post(and again he could have cleared that up a lot sooner and didn’t). We are talking about a complaint about joke made in a discussion about both Puggo and I losing our fathers. YOU DO NOT REACT TO SUCH A COMPLAINT BY TELLING THE PERSON TO FUCK OFF. I think some sort of discipline from the mods is in order here(just to be clear, I am not talking about a perm ban).

I think if you read FF’s last few posts you’ll see he didn’t mean to offend and realized after the fact that his original post came off worse than intended.

Sorry, I didn’t get past being told to fuck off, and I am not going to. The loss of a loved one is very sensitive area and he shows no understanding that whatsoever. You don’t go in that area and make a joke like that and then tell the person to fuck off when they complain. I thought it was possible I was misunderstanding his post so I asked him and he said it was intended as “levity”. In other words, a joke. A very offensive joke. Then he tells me to fuck off after I dared complain about it. That is inexcusable.

They all sound like idiots.


Full disclosure, I really enjoyed the RLM review. It was probably the first time I felt like I was in the room with them.

Can you sum it up for those of us that couldn’t make it past the part where they all make really obnoxious noises?

They didn’t like the characters, and the standalone Star Wars movie wasn’t really a standalone movie. It’s a movie for fans, not for anybody else.

Its a frigging Star Wars movie, who the heck do they expect it be for???

basically it was "how dare they show anything that was in the ot movies. How dare they show R2D2 and C3PO. How dare they have Star Destroyers and tie fighters and x-wings and AT-AT and such. They complained about the Vader costume. They thought the characters were flat. They actually thought it should be more PTish. Stupidest review ever imho.
