Since Haunted won't argue with people on the internet - I'll just ask a few harmless questions:

1) in what ways does making the case for a different interpretation of a film constitute "treating people in a patronizing manner" (the definition of "condescending")?

2) why does the stating of a different opinion threaten some people so much?

3) why do people take differences of opinions as personal attacks (e.g., "condescending to ME")?

I offer these not as arguments but merely inquiries towards understanding the human condition more fully.

ZERO

THAT was condescending, hahaha...


Yeah, but seriously... Stop signing your name at the end of every post, we know who you are.:D

but i'm not entirely sure who i am. . . :D

zero (lol)

Is this Zero.....

Anyway....you seem like an educated person so i thinks its best to warn you....don't get on Haunted's bad side....she is a witch and can turn you into a newt.




its happened before.

And god help you if she has a spell that requires eye of newt, then you will be blind too.

damn - i have been feeling a bit scaly and had an insatiable appetite for small crawling insects - hmm, i wonder if this qualifies me for worker's compensation????

Z

i had a teacher names mrs newt when i was a kid ..

and yes .. she was old and flabby and looked like a newt.

too bad i was too young to know what a newt was at the time or i would have made her life a living hell.

now he's Zorro

Heh...Now I'm beginning to wonder how Budman REALLY became a 'Newb'......And 'Newb' sounds a lot like 'newt'........Hmm, and how come you don't post any good pictures where we can REALLY see you?......Very suspicious....


Now I gotta find out if newts eat chicken salad sandwiches...lol

She seriously looked like a newt? And her name was Mrs Newt?

...that's like something out of those Matilda books...

I am zorro - but i make my mark with something other than a sword . . wink wink nudge nudge . . . ;)

a PC keyboard

I meant this newt

Not to be a COMPLETELY anal retentive jerk, but... Newts dont have scales, nor do any other amphibians.

I'll go back to my hole...

"she turned me into a newt !!!'















"i got better"

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh - the horror --- the horror!!!!

ha ! you're wrong !

just the other day i saw a frog sitting on one of these - and when i asked - he said it was his ..

that was just....really bad

its all i could come up with




besides, you're just jealous.

damn - she turned me into a fat newt (and a republican) - I will never mess with Haunted again . . . ribbit

Newts dont ribbit.

they speak fluent russian.

hahaha

Don't pull any punches...

So I'm a newt with an identity crisis, a weight problem and fascist political leanings - so shoot me!

All right, all right...I might have been just a tad bit of a cunt. Just a tad...

Okay, Urge, I TRY not to argue over the internet. I TRY. Sometimes I get so worked up I fail. Then I go for the fuckin' JUGULAR!!!! Just kidding.:D

I'm sorry if I was indeed a bitch.

Though, really...stop signing your name. It tends to get on people's nerves....HIGHPRIEST WISE...ugggh the flashbacks.

Oh, and no one thinks you're a fascist. I may have been a little offended by your tone, but I never thought you were a fascist. :)

Seriously, my folks have been getting on my nerves a bit. That's probaby why I'm so cranky.:D :p

clip them just over the ear on the side of the head once with one of these ..

Re: Land of the Dead
 

Night,Dawn and Day had intelligent social commentary but it was incorporated into a good films.

When you're making a movie the number one priority should be to make it good not to rip the guts out of American culture. If there's a good film with social commentary behind it then great I saw a good movie and learned something(that I probably already know) but if there's a movie with intelligent social commentary that sucks then big deal, you never sacrifice the quality of the film just to make a message because if the movie sucks then nobody is going to care about the message anyway all they're going to remember is that it sucked.

I really was into the Assault on Precinct 13 remake, until the last 15 minutes. Hollywood endings sucl:mad:

I somewhat agree, I didn't think it sucked but it was a let down.

may contain a spoiler









i thought it should have ended when they came out of the sewer and met the dirty cops.

I agree, that entire scene in the woods was uncalled for imo

Hey!...I posted a story about you in the True Crimes Forum...They're still looking for you, ya know... :p

Re: Re: Land of the Dead
 

Okay, that's the point I think I was trying to make, but fucked it up. I think. I can't remember at this point.

Re: Re: Re: Land of the Dead
 

you didn't fuck it up at all, you explained it and I just elaborated.

As I said in the Last Watched Movie thread...... The Stepfather.

Ah...so I see that you arent a Stepfatherfan?:p :p

Are you Chinese?

It's nothing new, but Land of the Dead dissapointed me. I do want to see it again though, and give it another chance.

Other than that, "Two Strangers on a Train" was a letdown at the end when they put a full tennis match in the movie. The rest of it was pretty much great though. Casablanca's ending kind of sucked as well, but i almost like it in a wierd classic "i have to like this." way.
