I do not believe that just because the '60s tv series treated Gordon one way, means that everything that comes after it must do the same thing.  

He doesn't get it. He never will.

*SIGH*

As far as my "silly delusions" about a "united Star Wars fandom", I never said any such thing.  No fandom is ever going to completely agree and it would be a "silly delusion" to think that way.  But I would site that Star Trek fans don't rage at others who have a preference for one series or another.  I've never been called a fool or barraged with critique and criticism every time I've said that I only like the Classic Trek series and movies and have no interest in Next Generation.  I don't see Doctor Who fans who prefer the old and new serials throwing jelly babies back and forth at one another.  They may not all agree, but they at least can get along and accept each other's differences in their fandom.    

"Silly delusions" more in the sense of "that's not really important".

Not sure why there isn't such a fight between Voyager fans and Voyager characters.
On the one hand, you can like the crazy twisted SF plots and the characters are mostly likeable, on the other hand there's lots of stupid in it.

I dunno, maybe the gap simply isn't that large? TOS was probably the most fun and charismatic, but also very campy. The spin-offs were still alive, and had some good episodes with good dialogue etc., or, that is, Voyager, the other two were pretty damn alright I think.

In case of Star Wars, the originals are considered to be this paragon of classic fantasy adventure, while the Prequels REALLY overdid it with the silliness, the hollow acting, and pandering.


At any case, why not just let it be? It's always interesting when you have an example from pop culture to point to whenever having some debate about politics or society ;)
"Look at them SW nerds, they follow the same patterns"... LOL

I don't mind Pink Ranger.

Fail.

comic book Batman IS Batman.   That is where the character came from.  Everything else is based on that.

So what? There are so many different Batmans in the Original Batman Comics from what I hear, it doesn't matter.

Well the same applies to all the other instances :D

And I am willing to admit that the films are far from perfect.  There is some really stupid stuff in there but to say that they fail as movies is taking it a bit too far IMO.

Well to each their own, but when people judge them after the common criteria of mainstream adventure movies, i.e. story and characters (as well as the tone associated with these), I don't see how they're taking it too far.

Gili failed as a movie.

If they completely failed then they wouldn't have made so much money.

It really sucks that this is what fandom has devolved into.  It seems like everyone is either a total hater or a total gusher and it really sucks to be floating in the middle drifting back and forth like a plastic bag in the wind from TFN to OT.com helplessly trying to find a place to fit in as the polarized world of Star Wars fandom rips itself in two.

2/4 is very fond of fixing people's incorrect opinions, and Bingo pointed out that's what Warb was doing.

No. I questioned the reasoning behind your rating, on a board that was full with people giving their reasons for their ratings, but if it helps your insecurity to view it as an attempt to "fix" something, whatever floats your boat or turns your crack.

When the Joker reappeard from the underground city again, and said, "when you don't reveal your personal name each day, I kill a citizen here, BATMAN!!", Batman paused the video and asked MCaine "what is your judgment, do you thin he will striken?", his true butler said "some people will just make the world burn!", so Batman waited.
His waitence was of great repercussions, beause Joker made true of his announcment claim, and KILL a chub in Batcostume! He maded him hang from the building where he was.

Than Batman said "ENOUGH, this new clown won't no longer be tolerated, he wants the world burn!", and faced his due duty to bury his victim but it said "NEXT WILL BE MAYER OF THIS CITY!!", so he went faster again but the parade had already started, and Gordon was there too!
So Batman want above to the building and asked the naked men who were at a pillar, "WHERE IS JOKER?! He's going to ASSASSINATE the president!!" and they said "he took our clothes, he know looks like one of us!" so Batman went down again to look for cops, as they might be a Joker among one of them...

but it wasn't to be, as it was in that intense moment where he ran and ran but everything seemed like it was in slow motion around him because the moment was so important, and he heard a SHOT, but OffiSAR Gordan reacted and threw himself up on the mayor so the mayor lived but GORDAN WAS DEAD!!
Oh no, had Batman to tell his wife and family the sad news (although his wife had earlier sent her son to his room so he'd had to deal with it later when he grew up and understood).

THIS IS TOO MUCH, said Batman, now I have to tell them all my person, so Gordon might not have died without a purpose, so he went on TV but District Attorney Harvey Dent, who'd later become Two-Face, said "No, IM THE BATMAN, arrest me!" and the mob couldn't believe it, but it was true.

So the police (who were now dressed again) took him in a car and Harvey already thought "what am I going to do with all those bad criminals I put in prison?", but it was all a trick so they could get the Joker!
And Batman, who knew all along, drove his Batmobile real fast so he could take out Joker fast enough as he had a Bazookha, but Joker said "Kill me, KILL ME, and prove that you're as crazed maniac as I am!" so Batman thought "no, I shouldn't do that, that's against the rules, my rules", and smashed into the pavement, passing out.

But as Joker was to triumph, he gotted arrest because GORDAN WAS ALIVE!!!

 Why do you have to take such issue with that?

I wouldn't call it taking issue with it.   I just disagree with him and was not understanding the reasons he gave.    As I said, he is entitled to his opinions.

*sigh*

I liked seeing the films on the big screen for the first time.

Fair enough, I haven't seen the OOT in its best HD quality. Still, stuff was made crisper and clearer as far as I'm aware.

Quality: better.
Content: worse.
Original: should be preserved regardless.
Fan Edits: not the original.

Easy enough for you, simpleton?

I got shot to pieces with what seemed like 4 or 5 members over there ganging up on me saying my claims were absurd

:DD

And, a Golfer!

I bet I could make a gif that does not actually quote a dictionary appropriately in order to support my political views as well.

I find it funny that it doesn't even come close to matching in the pronunciation guide.  I guess someone had their own little agenda when typing that winner up.

What's up with all these conservatives taking jokes as political smear campaigns?

WTF... can she do some lesbian schoolgirl porn, pls?

There was once a rubber, made of glue,
who exclaimed "what am I now gonna do?!"

My problem is that there is too much vagueness in the study, as a result of not considering any of those factors.
We may have an idea about the reaction to 12 books "with twists", which isn't a statistically relevant number, but it's hard to transfer this result to the prediction of the enjoyment of OTHER works, when established how DIFFERENT reactions can be depending on the structure and implementation-

I'm not saying it was entirely pointless.
But it would need further research, and reproductions, before you could make it into a valid general observation.

So was I.

Well I don't get it.

This, however...

Not the entire forum (although things like that are possible), just you.

Its only virtue is that it's accurate, which is why it may induce hysterical laughter of the nervous kind in certain individuals... I can certainly relate to that.

What I really doubted was him actually laughing aloud at those lines. I picture it to have been more of a loud despicable snort.

But I doubt she wants to know about anything Frink does on the internet :D

I think you're making this up ;)
