now see, this will be a perfect forthcoming example.

Shifting the blame on the kid is fucking pointless because the violence in retaliation was so unnecessary. The kid didn't play his cards right--nobody ever does. But it's not his fault that the reaction was goddamn awful.

I mean, it's kind of sad, because Trayvon Martin could have been any one of my students. By the end of 2012 I bet you at least three kids in our school will either be dead, missing, or in jail. But just because they're--and let's take the worst case scenario here--arrogant dickhead bastards...

No one's arguing people's retardation. But people's retardation shouldn't be an excuse to rest on our laurels, or to fail to consider there are much better options to grow as a people and a culture.

I knew it was going to happen; I just rolled my eyes, because I know what you were up to.

Getting shot is much different than getting punched in the face. Getting the shit kicked out of you and learning a lesson is MUCH different than losing your life.

It's not the kid's fault he got shot. Whatsoever. And its sad that we live in a society where putting that sort of blame on that kid is okay. We have all fostered a place where that outcome is possible, and we have all fostered a place where when it happens, we cluck our tongues and go...

I remember being a logical, intelligent 40-some year old guy not in the situation at the exact moment when I was a seventeen-year old.

*shrug* I find it much more telling to see everyone's reactions to a poster like Charlie, than a poster like Charlie himself.

Doesn't make it any less of a Resident Evil title, but yeah, I get your point.

I'm only used to it because I'm used to this forum having knee-jerk reactions to everything. That and how they love to write off a forum user pretty immediately.

PS I don't think the control's are random...you just twist the pen in a circle left or right and push up and down. Still is lousy though.

And I don't care. I hardly go to the theaters anyway. You have to be reasonable about this, and 3D is not the boogie man that requires some sort of kneejerk hate reaction. It's just a thing. And if theaters got so inflated that they weren't worth it anymore, I'm sure something else just as good...

I don't think that 3D is inherently worthless. It's just overused. I'm sure there are plenty of examples of 3D transcending the form, I just can't think of any offhand. But I'm sure that a talented artist can do amazing things with it. It doesn't always have to reach into your soul, either...

It really boils down to this: if something to me is worth it, I'll pay the money to see it. If it doesn't, I won't. I've become much less of a movie-goer in recent years, which is coincidentally the recent years that 3D has become a "thing". If enough people still want to see 3D, though...

No way, 4 was fantastic.

sorry, didn't mean to break your heart, man.

I don't need Jonah Hill on a jumbo screen talking about dicks. My TV works just fine.

I mean, for me. And I'm sure plenty of other people.

I will say this: if the industry is moving towards a great divide between streaming at home and watching at a theater, well, at least the theater is doing something interesting enough to merit going and paying for the experience. As it stands, I don't go to the movies that much anyway...
