I'm not saying anything inflammatory either! I'm just going from the 20 pages of spewing shit against something they haven't seen. Where was *I* inflammatory?

Unless you mean the hypothetical friend of a friend character I created for hyperbole purposes. Then yeah.. sorry, that guy got flamed for no reason. I do apologize to him.
Many (most?) of the people "spewing shit" in that thread had actually seen the movie.

I'm going with "post proof or retract" on this one.

:rofl: Well that's nice of you to say sorry to the imaginary person, Calleja, thanks.

I'm not trying to attack you... you just seem to be kiiind of flipping out when it doesn't seem like they're trolling dolts at all. I don't agree with making your opinion when you haven't seen the movie either, but, ya know... breathe.
 
I think you should know by now that I freely use all caps for.. I dunno.. comedic purposes? At least to me... I falsely exclaim in real life all the time too. Doesn't mean I'm actually screaming and pissed.


When I'm pissed off or flipping out I'm not gonna use caps, I swear. I get pissed in a more properly punctuated way.

I'm actually in quite a good mood right now. Think of my antics as... juski-esque, if you will.

Whoa, calm down calleja. I don't really have much vitriol? I mean, if I've made a post all cussing up a storm and calling Bay the worst mothersmurfer in the world and a goat-raping anushound from Planet poop-on-my-mom's-face, please link it. I'm just trying to spread the wide word of intelligent people that saw the movie and were heavily disappointed and sad they wasted their time/money.
Right there in bold. THAT is what's pissing me off. I'm sick to death of the inferrence that anyone who enjoyed the movie is stupid.

I'm an increadibly well read individual and enjoy all levels of cinema. Simply because I enjoyed the movie does not make me a moron.

I'd bet even money that is the problem that most other people are having with you guys.

My bad. It's hard to determine tone this way. Retracted, you funny guy, you. :)

I like movies like "Reign of Fire" and that's not a good movie. And I'm no dummy either.

Yes, I did that on purpose.

Figured you did. I wanted to find a picture of Charles Dumar from Better off Dead, but couldn't get a good one for you.
 
I'm talking about the movie critics and movie bloggers as "intelligent" people in that quote. Roger Ebert is definitely an intelligent person, I doubt anyone would really argue that point. I didn't mean to imply you're stupid if you didn't agree with him, but just showing that the criticism for the movie isn't coming from impotent nerds whining about it raping their childhood.

Yeah, I was going to say that by "intelligent people" you probably meant "insightful and lucid people with the experience and perspective to know what they are talking about when it comes to film"
 
Many in the last thread saw it. If you think you have been arguing against people who didn't see it then you didn't read the thread very closely.

And by the way, someone can say "I heard from these 'intelligent' folks that blahblahblah" without it meaning anyone who has a different view is not intelligent. :Leyla:

Wanna do me a favor and not make me search through and find which post you are referring to on each page? Is that 9 pages and 9 different people? Are they the most vocal or did they say their piece and move on, without calling those who enjoyed it stupid?
 
Do you honestly believe a 60+ year old man would really appreciate a popcorn blockbuster movie? He's seen this happen over and over the last 3 decades. This isn't news to him. He'll automatically think it'll be crap. Most of the established critics will be the same.

Sometimes, people don't really give two pieces of monkey crap and will go see a movie that'll entertain them and distract them from the real world. Get over it.

PS : Transformers 3 has been announced. Enjoy your torment some more.

Yes

You don't follow film criticism very much, do you?

If you wait for the page to finish loading, the anchor (that #pXXXXXX) will move you down to the correct post. Just don't scroll around until it does.

Thanks Denbrought. For a bit there I thought I was given GB links!

I don't so much. I form my own opinion.
You say that as if it is a mark of pride, but I'm not so sure it should be. Let me tell you that I read many, many reviews of many, many movies, and I also form my own opinions, independent of those reviews. However, reading reviews written by insightful and intelligent critics can and has helped teach me about film, about craft. It's revealed things I had not previously considered, and has made me better able to appreciate film. I can say in all honesty that watching Siskel and Ebert when I was younger helped shape me as a person, made me rethink how I view art and culture, and helped develop my appreciation for film, which is vast, deep, and passionate.
 
I hope to Higher Power I can stay out of this one this time.

I'll just say this... looking at the chart I posted towards the end of the other thread, this film is not one that will resonate with the public over time, and will be mostly forgotten by the end of popcorn season.

other than that... (insert pic of Grandpa Simson walking in and immediately walking out because I'm to lazy to go looking for it myself)

He also gave Mystic River 4 stars and after watching grown men cry for 3 hours and wanting to staple my dick to the side of a burning barn due to the sheer boredom I endured, that would be.... a fair assessment.

yeah he hates action movies. I could get more examples but you don't really care about facts as much as raging against anything that could remotely resemble intelligence
There's you go again.

It's just over two hours long? I mean, I guess it felt longer since there weren't too many flashing lights and loud noises to distract you.
