I've admitted in this very thread that I could be mistaken, but it just seems the overall tone of the post seem very condescending.

 Well, I apologize to all who felt my tone may have been as such, ask that they try and see it as a matter of pride, and apologize to you specifically for being too snappish in general.

 

Apology accepted, and I offer an apology in return for my own tone and assumption.

 Are you really so dense?  Don't you wish I shared your opinion that such should be permissible to all who want it (which I believe I have stated I already agree with)?  I believe people should have the choice to make many decisions I find wrong.  I just wish they would choose right anyway.  Is that a difficult concept to grasp?

 

No, I wouldn't lose any sleep over you not liking something that I like. It wouldn't even be a passing thought in my mind in any of my days. I'm sorry. But I just wouldn't care.

 Then why continue arguing with me when we largely agree.  The main thing we disagree on is what you perceive of my opinion.  That is the only reason I continue to reply to you.

 

I don't mind your opinion at all, you should be able to say it, explain it, practice it and so on it's basically the tone of the opinion I dislike.

Statements like "I wish movies didn't show it as not only acceptable but even preferable" are just a softer version of "I want it to be banned".

 that is hard true.  saying I wish movies didn't show x, is quite different than saying I was x to be banned. 

There are a lot of people here that wish Jar Jar Binks wasn't in the PT, does this mean they think Lucas should have been banned from using him?  Of course not.

 

That's a banning I wouldn't mind.

I don't remember saying any of that, only that you sound so condescending to others that do not in fact share your beliefs or views. If you don't like what content is in a film, I will restate the advice Frink posted. Don't watch it, simple as that. Not a single person is forcing you to watch and/or pay for any content that you don't wish to view, that's why there's ratings, and on most tv services the guides telling you what content is in the show or film.

Video Games - a general discussion thread

Since becoming a fan of the 1985 Jennifer Connelly film Phenomena, I learned that the Japanese made a video game for the SNES that was inspired by the movie -- Clock Tower.

Needless to say, I was interested in checking it out. And I did. And gotdang  it, if it isn't an incredibly hard sonuvabitch to play. You can't exactly "walk" the character you're playing conventionally -- you either have to move the cursor in the direction you want Jennifer to walk towards then press "Y", or press the "L" or "R" buttons to make her run left/right -- and when this bastard

appears on screen, you have to run and hide until you lose him; you don't have any weapons to defend yourself with -- all you can do is press "B" repeatedly to block his scissors and push him to the floor if he catches up to you, and that's only a temporary solution; he'll eventually spring back up and resume the chase in no time flat.

 

That game kicked ass. I had the wonderswan version at one time, and the sequal was also awesome.

Not well,I forgot about that one because I wasn't allowed to see it when I was a kid.

The Harry Potter thing is really silly because all the spells in those book are just really basic attempts a Latin that just state what the spell does.  I think all JKR did was take what she wanted the spell to do and run it through google translate.  Somehow I think there is more to real satin worship then that.

 I've never known anyone to worship satin.

Well the good news is we think we have found out what type of rash I have had on my body my whole life.  That is good because it has been getting worse and worse lately and it is now so painful that I can't sleep any more.  The bad new is that it is a genetic condition and there is no cure for it.

Great we live in an age where there may be no way to fix the fact that I can't sleep at night and am in constant pain, but we can know why it is happening.  I feel so lucky.

I wish those androids from Star Trek existed and I could just have them place my brain in a plastic android body. That would be so much less trouble.

 

Congrats you have herpes.

There's my random thought of the day

He shouldn't be told to shut his beliefs up or to get over it. But movies and other art shouldn't become a theocracy because it might somehow offend him either.

 I believe he made clear that he wasn't for forcing his beliefs on others.

I didn't say that either, I said movies/art/whatever shouldn't all be something that conforms to his tastes.

actually, they should be IF they wish to get his money.  He has every right to refuse to buy a movie ticket or a DVD/Blu ray if the movie doesn't conform to his tastes.  He also has every right to wish there were more movies/art/whatever that did conform to his tastes.  Who doesn't wish that?   

And fans of for example horror movies shouldn't have to also feel like they're being talked down to because they don't share his same opinions on violence or sex in a movie.

Was he talking down to them or just giving his opinion?

 Agreed, that's his choice.  Also, he could possibly be giving his opinion, but it reads to me in a condescending way. Though I admit I could be mistaken.
