    Yes, go ad hominem when the opposing party points out the fallaciousness of your own argument. Excellent.

    Part of my job description includes making everyones day just a little more surreal. The jobs of Supreme Surrealists have been filled by BLR and FSW. Thank you for your application, and we will consider you for other positions as they become available. *drops Antacular's resume into the shredder* Using ** to connote some imaginary internet action? Should we go into the old AOL nWo4life chatroomz and rollz teh dicez while we're at it? Telling someone that it's a bad idea to bring their first graders to a newly released PG-13 movie because it's disturbing to others in the audience isn't parenting advice, it's human advice.

    Nah, if I was an asshole I'd say this stuff to the guy who brought his 4 kids (all under 7) to The Avengers, thereby letting his children know first hand what a schmuck their father is. But I'm a halfway decent person, so I spare the children that scene and conduct my outrage vicariously over the internet at a poster who engages in said behavior. Of course, if you appreciate loud underage audience members (AKA "children") who don't recognize the need for indoor voices while in a semi-mature audience film, then I could see where my posts would not do it for you. And if you happen to be an adult and talk in a movie at a level that others can hear you, well, fuck you too.

    Yeah, a socko for 10+ years. At that point, it's called just an "account." Fuck you (and anyone else for that matter) for bringing a bunch of tikes to a PG-13 movie. If your kids are too young to not understand that they shouldn't be blabbering during an entire film, then they're too young for that film in the first place. Isn't that why they release shit like Free Birds for? Two of mine are pretty good, and they quieted after some stern looks. My littlest one needed to be taken out when he got a bit too rowdy. And then he was quiet after. But they wouldn't have missed it for the world. That's also why we go to the movies Sunday morning, to avoid crowds. "They wouldn't have missed it for the world." What type of sociopath are you? You do realize there are other people in the theater, right? We live in a society, people! I'm a sociopath that likes to take my kids to the movies early on a Sunday morning as to avoid crowds. I'm a sociopath that takes my kids out of the theater (and making myself miss the movie) if they act up. I'm a sociopath that sits on the aisle seat so that if (and when) a little one needs to go to the bathroom, I can avoid having to walk past anyone. Of course, I could be a sociopath who says fuck you anonymously on a message board because of some feigned outrage that someone could have taken their kids to see Thor: The Dark World. WTF. The fact that you completely gloss over the notion that a PG-13 movie might not be a fantastic setting for a bunch of hyperactive first graders is demonstrative enough of my point. But hey, Lil' Johnnys gotta see Thor, right?? Fuck Jerry and George and Elaine (and even Susan!) sitting three rows back. Why should THEIR movie experience matter so long as Lil' Johnny gets what he wants. Part of my job description includes making everyones day just a little more surreal.

    I normally don't get any of the hate for this show (especially when people go off about unrealistic decision-making during a goddamn zombie apocalypse scenario), but last week's was one of the worst episodes yet. A whole hour to dedicated to booting off Carol and establishing that black-guy-who-isn't-Tyrese is a douche, which means he will most likely die very soon, which means that half of the episode was essentially wasted on pointless character exposition.

    Only ones I've played thoroughly were the MW ones. Didn't care much for WaW and both Black Ops. For some reason, those engine just never seemed to play as "smooth" as the MW ones. MWs was the first and only games that got me to care about online multiplayer. Haven't decided if I'll dabble in Ghosts.

    Stoked that MGSV is coming to PS3, as I have no interest in buying a PS4. MGS4 was the original reason why I bought a PS3 way back when. By far my favorite game series.

    MoS2 is sounding like one giant shitfest the more I hear about it, and I'm not even upset over Affman. What the hell is the logic behind skipping over Robin and jumping right to Nightwing? There's a good proportion of the general audience that doesn't read comics that has no idea who Nightwing is. If they wanted to include him in MoS3 or some other eventual sequel, after establishing the Robin character, fine. But skipping over the first part just screams "we'll throw some shit at the wall and see what sticks." Not going to comment on the Wonder Woman rumors since there's a good probability it's not her they're casting, but like hell I'd know who the character is supposed to be.

    With the premiere getting over 20 million, they might as well announce the next 3 seasons together.

    Not impressed by the trailer. Lack of Sentinels is weak. In Singer I trust, but still.

    I'm not a movie producer or comic book writer, it's not my job to know how to make Cap work. Not saying the character wasn't relevant for his time, or that the idea behind him (to promote U.S. involvement in WWII) was misguided, but with a global audience, in the year 2013, and superpowers consisting of high-vaulting and boomeranging, he's fucking lame.

    Assuming the "modern era" is defined as 2000+ (were there any Marvel films released in the 1990s, not counting that Fantastic Four and MiB?), there's no point in a Marvel vs. DC argument, as the majority of Marvel's cast of heroes have all had at least one film (5 X-Men, 4 Spiderman, 3 Iron Man, 2 Hulk, 2 Fantastic Four, Thor, Captain America, Avengers) whereas only Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern have had releases. It's not a fair comparison. TDK trilogy is all sorts of greatness, but Green Lantern was garbage. And as for Man of Steel, well, the military-genius villain of the film gets punked out by the hero's pencil pushing father during physical combat 10 minutes in. Fuck Man of Steel. I'll also echo the Captain America/Mandarin jingoistic arguments. They're both characters that simply don't work in the year 2013. Cap is a glorified gymnast with nationalistic attire. As someone else said, drape him in the Union Jack, it's still a stupid superhero shtick. How the Mandarin was handled in Iron Man 3 was 50 shades of awesome. If you're going to use an anachronistic character, THAT'S the way to do it.

    As crazy lady in the woods said, Eddie was slowing down because he hadn't had anything live to eat in a while. Is this the first mention of the fact that walkers don't walk indefinitely, that they do need some sort of sustenance to continue on?

    3 pages in and no mention of the lack of Governor? I hope he reappears before the mid-season finale, but I doubt it.

    If you can't discuss a topic so dissimilar from CE because of someone elses POV on CE, then it speaks volumes about your own level of maturity. I doubt our views here are that much further apart than Carville's and Matalin's.
  18. Antacular
    Who says I don't? (And I still post here because I find the MMA talk to be levels above most other forums for said subject. Movies, TV, Gadgetry and (previously) CE were a nice bonus). EDIT: My point isn't to bitch about the lack of CE, that's a decision for the board owners. My point is that its absurd to single out the triteness that goes on in CE, but ignore same instances of such actions in other parts of the forum.

    And when the main event of RAW is covered on the NYT front pages ahead of the latest government shutdown, your views will certainly be vindicated. You think politics is trite (Left and Right? More like dumb and dumber), and I find professional wrestling to be stupid (More Natalya fart segments plz). Know how I solve the problem? I don't bother with the Wrestling forum. Don't like CE? Then don't bother with the CE forum. I know, crazy concept.

    I'm late to the party, but just saw The Wolverine, and I'll be honest, I have no idea what all the praise is about. It was just as bad as Origins (Of course, I don't think Origins was the worst comic book movie to ever grace the screen, just not a good film). The "twist" at the end was about as predictable and unoriginal as it gets. And the fact that they wasted the removal of Wolvie's adamantium on a throwaway villain, instead of Magneto, was a terrible decision. Seeing "Trask" on the TV screen was best part of the entire movie.

    If one doesn't want to read worthless opinions on shitty things, then maybe an internet message board isn't the place for them.
  22. Antacular
    Yes, a forum to discuss the real things in life that actually matter should certainly be avoided. But on the topic of HHH 2000 vs. HHH 2012 or the merits of a Fantastic Four reboot? Let the barbz fly~~! If you're worried about "offending" someone in a CE thread, it's because you're either too dumb to comprehend the topic, or aren't familiar with how internet anonymity works. "RVDRulz420 thinks Obamacare is horrible public policy, how will I EVER go about the rest of my day??" Get over yourselves.

    Some of these have already been mentioned, which says something about the quality of the flick: - Phantom Menace opening day, when the text scroll starts. - Attack of the Clones, when Anakin is dreaming about his mom, and is moaning "Mom...Mom...." entire audience busted out laughing, most unintended reaction I've had. - Spider-Man 3 opening day, when Brock turns into Venom. - TDK opening day, Pencil Trick and at the end of the 18-wheeler chase, when the Batpod rides up the wall and reverses. - Borat wrestling scene. - Bruno scene where he interviews the member of Hezbollah (I think). Crowd was roaring with laughter the entire time up until here, when suddenly there was dead silence at the "King Osama" line, as many of us thought we were about to see a real execution. ALSO: The MMA scene. - Watchmen when Rorasche in prison yells "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!"

    Seeing as Walt never made that final cook for the Aryans (And how badly they wanted him to), plus the fact that Blue Sky is making rounds again, Walt HAS to realize Jesse is alive.

    Main was by far one of the best fights I've ever seen, completely shocked at the awesomeness. I had it 48-47 Alex, but I'm probably biased as I can't stand Jones, especially since he beat Shogun for the title at the first and only UFC event I've ever been to. IMHO, I've always believed Jones' domination to be rooted in his insane reach, most evident in the sheer amount of elbows he uses, which he throws as if they were jabs. Gustafsson was the first guy he's faced that had an almost comparable reach, and he gave Bones a run for his money. Gustafsson's offense and defense regarding takedowns were a thing of beauty. Will gladly pay another $60 for a rematch.
