Finally saw Lost

[Hailey Knight]

I miss the old forums, where you know, everyone wasn't some stuck up asshole who looked down upon others. There's too many cliques and circles here these days.. Which I'm sure the great Chaz will expound upon here shortly

*insert random image from images.google.com for the lulz* /eyeroll

Then leave, douchebag. No one is forcing your eyelids open while your cheeze puff encrusted hands type trite, little quips about no one loving you on the forums. Fucking dipshit.[/QUOTE]

I wish I could rep you, but I repped your other one earlier today.

 

[Philosopher B.]

Here's a Halforums ProTip for free:

-You can be honest without being a giant asshole to someone.
-You can make jokes and tease each other without being a giant asshole.
-You can choose to not take every joke or jab in your direction as a giant insult
-You can choose to deal with getting called out for saying something dumb, we all do it, and we have all gotten called for saying something dumb. It's part of life.

So before you post in this thread (or any other) decide, am I being a giant asshole or a giant douche? If the answer is yes, then maybe grab a beer and chill a few minutes before engaging in giant asshole and giant douche behavior.
Consider this a "I don't want to have to lock this thread" post.
So don't make me lock this thread.

Oh shit, y'all. Don't make daddy bust out the cuffs.

Die in a fire sweetcheeks, k thanks[/QUOTE]

Ask yourself. Why am I here?

You think everyone hates and berates your opinions; you whine about it constantly. Why don't you just pick up and leave to another forum (preferably one with whiny teenagers who threaten to boycott videogame releases and organize unions at their schools)?

Yet I'm not the one resorting to personal insults and flames at the drop of a hat?

Hypocrisy must taste great for breakfast

Keep telling yourself that. Repeat it over and over and over again. Why are you still here?

Cause its an open forum anyone may register on and participate in. Unless Dave decides to start charging for forum access, or throw the banhammer around, I'm here to stay till the lights are shut off darlin

Thug life, amiright?

*shrug* Every forum needs the proverbial punching bag, I can handle that

 

[Hailey Knight]

Your demeanor and approach to situations is what gets you trouble here, not because you've been designated some doormat role. Your demeanor and approach have likely gotten you flack in real life, and it gets you flack here, and it's not always because people are being mean to be mean (though sometimes it is, and everyone gets that to some extent)--often it's because you make a whiny show of yourself; not a great way to handle yourself in public (which this is). You also make passive-aggressive comments against others, rather than full-on aggression. You'll make more friends by just being upfront. And you need to get a handle on some of your seedier points of view. I would hope that hindsight can be 20/20 for you and you could look back on Matt's old Manbaw thread in the Hall of Fame and see something wrong with the things you said--because there are some seriously wrong things said there, by you.

Also note: Chaz has tried to help you a couple times in the past, and you threw it back in his face because, as someone said, you do have a persecution complex, believing you're the forum punching bag, everyone hates you, etc, etc. Well, Chaz has not punched you every single time, he's tried to give advice, which would be helpful if taken, but damn, he's out to get you, so it must be a trick. I'm not surprised he no longer tries.

If everyone was out to get you, you wouldn't have had Sheggy and Amy (on the latter, who of all people would be the last I'd expect to stick up for you) in one of the Games forum threads, nor would people have reported my attack post on you in the same thread to the mods, who immediately came in to defend you as well. You don't appreciate any of these people--you just focus on the negative. Not to mention, a lot of the people in these Lost threads haven't attacked you; they've just disagreed with you. That's not an attack. And it's likely they're not disagreeing just to "get you", it's probably because they have a different opinion than you. They're allowed to have those.

 

[Reboneer]

This seems relevant.

I liked Lost.

 

[Espy]

Lost? Yeah, that was a pretty good show.

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

I still need to watch the Finale again.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

I'll briefly reply to Mav: Not everyone on this forum is like that. For that matter, cliques and circles? Sure, we have certain HF'ers that chat back and forth than others. That happens with any forum or, you know, real life. Might be getting a bit too personal, man, but do you have troubles with depression or a similar mental illness? I say this because some of the things you've said are clear cognitive distortions (Cognitive distortion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). There are much better ways of dealing with negative responses. Something I'm still working on myself, sometimes. There are a couple of forumites that, while they're nice guys overall, can be pretty big jerks sometimes, too, and don't know when to leaves things alone. Some of them responded in this thread. It's a matter of how you take their comments and most especially how you respond.

As far as Lost goes? Still an amazing show despite the plot-holes, some of which were unavoidable (Walt), others that might just need closer scrutiny and others that we're just going to have to accept. The finale was fantastic, aside from those last ten minutes, in my mind.

I loved the last ten minutes. I loved the way they said, "Nope this has nothing whatsoever to do with the island." I mean by that point, the island was pretty much a done deal. I liked that the authors didn't try to force it in, and it made perfect sense--in the sideways flashes, the fatal flaws of the characters were resolved. The interleaving with Jack dying was poignant and perfect. One of my favorite scenes was the Ajira flight zooming overhead as he lost consciousness. Beautiful.

INCOMING RANDOM OBSERVATIONS

As far as Walt and Aaron were concerned, I kind of felt they were kids, so they weren't candidates. Although, I would've liked to know more about what was up with Walt and Locke's superpowers.

There were flaws a plenty, to be sure. I was a little disappointed in Locke's character progression. He went from cool mystery to whiny scared guy. I understand where they were going, but I wasn't a huge fan. I liked Locke the way he was. The early dialogue was a little formulaic, and could almost be made into a drinking game. "Point." "Counterpoint." STARE INTENSELY. Insert inappropriate laugh-headshake combo from Jack. With the exceptions of Rose, Bernard, and Hurley, the plane apparently only carried Pretty People. Even Locke is attractive and built for his age.

I WANT Frank Lapidus's beard. Did anyone else keep hearing his name as LaPenis at first? I could've sworn that's what they were saying.

I loved the humor scenes. And the dynamite. Two people chunkified and played for laughs (esp. Arzt).

The casting director deserves a fruit basket for Michael Emerson. Holy crap was that guy creepy.

It took me a while to place it, but Hurley was totally the viewer avatar. He said the things a viewer would say. He called attention when a plot point was similar to something from another show or movie. He pointed out when things were stupid.

It sure seems like a lot of people incorrectly interpret the finale as "they all died in the crash". I mean Christian says in plain english that they were just gathering there to meet each other because they had such a profound effect on one another in life. I think some people really wanted the island=afterlife interpretation to be true, and they took the afterlife stuff as confirmation. I don't think some fans can handle that the sideways flash is completely divorced from the island (other than the events there being the catalyst that made them seek each other out in the afterlife). Christian says "now has no meaning here, not everyone died at the same time". Not you, Matt, but it almost seems like the strip's author is interpreting the finale that way.
