Movies that should be destroyed -

[jmc]

I have read Tolkien's works, and I think Jackson has done a great job so far.

BTW, I hated ROAD TO PERDITION and CROUCHING TIGER.....

Dead/Alive should have earned Peter Jackson a Nobel Prize, an ambassadorship, or a free meal at Denny's. The greatest fricking movie ever made.

...how DARE you call me a troll? I consider myself a semi-regular here on Andrew's board....if you bothered checking through some threads here and there, you'd notice that. I also happen to know Andrew and several other regulars/semi-regulars who post here, because we also post on other boards.

I didn't find Featherman's question humorous at all....and if you indeed thought (if for a moment) that it WAS intended in humor, then why make that simultaneous (and asinine) comment about "two trolls" and insinuating that I might be Featherman's "buddy"?

Y'know, I notice this kind of thing happens here more often than it should.  Some dumbass comes along, says something to rile everyone up, and we're all at each other's throats.  
Krieger, if knowing Andrew consists of posting on other boards with him, then I know him too.  Hell, we've met at B-Fest.  If you know him personally, then I misunderstood.  As for knowing you're a semi-regular (isn't that an oxymoron?), no I didn't.  I don't usually read through old posts that have gone off the main page, and furthermore I rarely even pay attention to who said what unless they say something that p**ses me off or that I think is really cool and deserves a personal response.  I read new threads as the subject line interests me, not by who wrote it.  In fact, I didn't even realize that Feather guy started this thread until you pointed it out.  I viewed your dubbing of the thread "asinine" as an insult to everyone who had posted on it saying they too were asinine, so that's what flagged me to your name.
These misunderstandings happen when the only medium of communication between a group of people, especially one this large, is a screen with some typing on it.  Typed words have no personality, and it's damn near impossible at times to gauge what someone means when they say something.
So, aside from the bit about Tolkien Hippies, I apologise if I said something off the cuff that upset anyone while I was p**sed about this immature crap .  That's never my intention on this board.

Exactly what a dumbass troll does, right? :-)

Exactly that....from other boards, and Andy and I have communicated very well all around.

I do the same thing on boards....only reading through threads that interest me...but if you've been on a board long enough, you'd have to run into a person's name a few times now and then, which is why I made that comment.

> In fact, I didn't even realize that Feather guy started this thread until you pointed it out.

Kinda hard to miss that, since his post and his name are the first ones in this thread.

Oh, I never meant that at all.....my first reply here was directed at Feather, not everyone else. :-)

ABSOLUTELY! It's entirely a personal, subject thing, isn't it? When I react to someone's post on a board, I always try to get myself to "react" as soon as a post or reply opens up before me...I think there's more problems involved if one lingers on a message for too long and tries to "analyze" it. One usually ends up getting more p**sed off than when one reacts to the immediate reading.

No prob.....Big, macho hugs and a slap on the back! :-)

....and that was a bunch of immature crap, wasn't it?

i can't believe people would go out of their way to attack even the lowest of the low films.

regarding lord of the rings, i am a big fan of both the books and the films, the films, whilst enjoyed thouroughly by me, left me fairly annoyed with the lack of some details in the films, but i highly commend jackson for fitting in as much as he could in the short amount of time he had [each book could easily have a trilogy for themselves].   i quite agree with the point that novels made into movies always tend to be different and should be judged on their seperate merits.

now as for fast and furious: i will always automatically hate this film for ripping off legend of speed, right down to the slightly 'odd' computer mechanic guy, but i enjoyed the effort and didn't think it to be so bad [considering the horrible scriptwriting]  so therefore i think we should all be in agreement that films made purely for greed and all else is forgotten in the making of them, [such as actual effort in the script]  should be disregarded as purile trash, and little attention should be given to them at all.

and yes there is a difference between greed-trash and just trash like braindead.  that kind of trash is the stuff you can watch many times over [fantastic, though i can see why people may not like it, i don't think telling that to a bunch of b-movies fans to be an especially wise move!]

cheers  :D

.......just repeat to yourself, "It's just a message board, I should really just relax".........

[Tranquil Featherman]

I've seen every one of his films. They ALL reminded me of a kindergardener that's been handed an old polaroid instant camera and told to go take pictures of his "happy suprise" he's made in the "john" that morning.
