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.

There are enough no brainer movies out there so I sort off wish they'd start making something differnt.

Took the words from my mouth.

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.

I'd rather smell my own then someone else's.

Oh wait you like 300? oh I'm sorry I didn't know I guess I like it now.

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?

Thank god, one less person who doesn't think that movies the best thing since Terminator 2 the better.

*VaughnMichael* · 10-25-2007, 11:07 PM

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.

Thread cleaned up. Can we please get along and discuss this peacefully instead of taking unnecessary jabs at such trivial things as people's grammar?

*Mecha Cow* · 10-26-2007, 08:32 AM

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.

Not knowing that art can also be thought provoking says alot more about you.

But let's chill out yeah? Krang already had to clean this place up once we shouldn't make him do it again.

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.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 10-26-2007, 05:19 PM

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.

*Sewer Bull* · 10-26-2007, 05:30 PM

'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.

Wasn't the original comic historically inaccurate as well though?

*Mecha Cow* · 10-26-2007, 06:06 PM

I don't think it even tries to be.
