He is telling you the rules that you as a member should already be aware of.
Also he's being realistic not having any faith has nothing to do with it.
The new turtles movie didn't go over well with reviewers I'm quite sure one of the large block busters took the award as well.
But hell I'd love to be proven wrong & I'm quite sure spitfire would be as well.:D

Spitfire's totally right. I agree with all his three points, especially with the last one.
Sorry folks, but "300" is going to take it all.

it is it's a bunch of half naked men killing people with no story and allthough visually stunning it lacks subtance.

So do we know who won?
Edit: Found it (http://www.movieweb.com/news/02/23802.php) - Neither TMNT nor 300 won.

Where were all you guys when I was getting flamed for disliking it back when it first came out? :lol:
Tickle me surprised, still won the #1 award, and a ****** movie still won the best comic award.
I thought 300 was an amazing film. I guess I'm not an artsy Starbucks coffee drinker who analyzes everything in a complex manner.

Sorry I don't like Starbucks, but I do analyze. I have a brain and I choose to use it, espcially when watching a form of entertainment I plan on getting into. 300 didn't need to be analyzed, it was shallow and made for the average casual movie go-er. It's not thought provoking, it's made for people who just simply want to watch a movie, nothing more.
What you like is what you like and there's nothing wrong with that. For the type of movie it is, it's alot better then most of what's on the market.
I don't care if it won the #1 award, at least Transformers didn't, I'm more surprised "30 Days Of Night" won the best comic award.
I heard 30 Days of Night was a great movie until the end, where everything stopped making sense. Guess I'm glad I didn't spend the money to go see it.

If it were edited a little better I think I might have enjoyed it alot, but the scenes were to long and I honestly got bored watching it. The jumper scenes and the gore were right but everything else was out of sync, and yes the ending is pretty bad.
If your interested I'll drop you two hints here of why I didn't like it
It has literately the exact same ending as Blade 2, and there's a fight scene before it that rips off Underworld.
I guess it's not surprising it's borrowing from other movies of it's kind but I tend to look down on films that aren't originial. At very least I'd say it's worth a rental.

I hate starbucs and coffee so there goes your stab flat on it face.
You don't need to anilize sh1t to not like it you watch a movie and go nope I didn't like wow.

30 days of night was an amazing ground breaking comic untill it was done to death and then others started to copy it and we had 500 vampire comic books all over the place in shops.
Sadly though I really don't think the movie did the comics justice at all.
And that's funny because I found the ending was the only thing about the movie that came close to the comics.
What would have made the movie just as ground breaking for the comics to me is if they would have done something like A Scanner Darkly and had the artist or whomever draw over the movie in the style of the comics I think that would have been amazing.
It wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen though but it's most def. not the best it's sort of just there.
It's not thought provoking, it's made for people who just simply want to watch a movie, nothing more.
God forbid a movie is made to just entertain and not provoke serious thought.

The way the comic was written and done was throught provoking and very stylized there was no reason why the movie shouldn't have been. ;)
There are enough no brainer movies out there so I sort off wish they'd start making something differnt.

People dont like to admit when there roped into a hype magnet like some poor sap, and violently react when there told they did precisly that.
In either case, it's almost the precise reason I kept a stable sense of objectivity watching Transformers

Isn't 30 Days of Night a few years old? Nothing screams "we gotta market this thing now that it's hot" like giving a reward to something most people had no clue about until a month ago.
Wasn't the Spike TV video game awards blatant advertising as well? Like some games winning awards were ones that didn't really get critical acclaim, it's just what they had to sell at the time.

Makes sense, I really never thought of that.
Yeah Transformers, I only know two people other then myself who didn't like it.

This reminds me off that one South Park episode where Kyle's family moved to SF, because they got all smug and snobby, and everyone there thought they were so high and mighty that they loved to sniff their own farts...
What I'm trying to say is it seems like a couple people in here like to sniff their own farts.

ROFL. Yeah, I enjoyed it enough. Not to the point of everyone else though. I wasn't running around like a maniac singing it's praises, because it was by no means as amazing as people made it out to be. But...uh...what's your point?

The point was I don't have to enjoy everything everyone likes. I'm sure I like plenty of things you enjoy as well doesn't mean we have to agree on every damn thing. And it doesn't mean you need to come i with snide remarks about other people.
You sure love to dish them out but can't handle them yourself.
And all the points I made for not enjoying 30 days of night where all very valid and to the point.
And you know I was kidding with you man but you always have to get all bent out of shape about everything and have the peanut gallery come along.

Art isn't meant to make people think, it's meant to make people feel. Disliking a movie because it's not 'smart' says more about you than it does about the movie or the people that do enjoy it.

Are you kidding? You were the one making snide remarks about other peoples tastes. I couldn't care LESS what other people like. I don't think they're stupid for liking a kids show, or stuck up for liking intelligent movies. People like what they like, whether I enjoy it or not.
What I took offense to was you basically taring everyone who liked certain movies (300, Transformers) with the same ignorant brush. Take your own f*cking advice. I can't take what I dish out? Try me.

Was I really? I think you have me mixed up with Spitfire there buster.
I'm talking about 30 days of night and how it's not as good as a comic book.
Which many movies are that way they never even come close to being as good as a book.
I said I like 300 for it's visuals but it has nothing else to it geez so I guess I'm making fun of my self as well then hu?
And I didn't even say anything about Transformers because I haven't even seen the damn movie nor do I care to.

Transformers was pretty cool. Considering how much of a mess it could have been, it turned out great.
From what I've heard, they are going to ruin G.I. Joe though.

'300' is awesomely eye-candy. It's terribly shallow and so historically inaccurate, but my word - I had so much fun watching it and truly enjoyed every minute of this flick - and I'm not ashamed of that.

How did I put words in your mouth that's a direct quote of what you said. If you can't admit your own ignorance that's not my problem. I come here to have fun not get yelled at by pissy people who like to start arguments and get mad when they lose.
Sigh...alright, stop this. Krang already had to clean up this junx. Last chance before I lock the thread.

So...if the comic was historically inaccurate...and the movie is an adaptation of the comic...then why would there be expectation for the movie to be historically accurate?

Spitfire

Yeah I never got that assault on the film. Even the news paper took stabs at it. Obviously it wasn't supposed to be because it had monsters in it...That's from the reason why I thought the movie was bad.
Sewer Bull
10-30-2007, 08:22 AM
Obviously it wasn't supposed to be because it had monsters in it...
It's not only about the monsters, I'd have more problems with Spartans being pictured as some noble defenders of the everlasting civilization values like freedom or democracy. In fact, Spartans, constituting a rather totalitarian state ruled by religious leaders, were very far from being the pinnacle of the Ancient Greek democracy.
I don't think many people are going to believe that trained monsters were used in the battle of Thermopylae - but some might be deceived by the depiction of Spartans and Sparta and believe they were cool, tough and freedom-loving guys, ready to fight to death for their higher values. Especially when we look at this movie in a more metaphorical manner and treat Spartans as the Western Civilization and Persians as the Muslim World.
