Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

The average movie watcher watches in order to be entertained. What entertains one might not entertain another. Boys, can we keep this in mind, please? I so see this thread going into the direction of the DC forum. Opinion is opinion. Not everything needs to be debated. Geez.

The average movie watcher is a drooling ****ing simian with the mental acumen of 2.5 googlegoogles.

Spoiler!

LOL this is great entertainment on a Sunday afternoon
What is another movie you worship? I want to tell you I hate that too and see how you get overly-sensitive again

For someone who loves to write, you might try taking a deeper look at films in the future. They can serve as an excellent muse, as well as a reflection of the society in which they are created.

True, but I often watch movies in order to "escape" reality. When escaping reality, I tend to not feel like looking into things that deeply. The book is typically always better, so I leave my deep thinking and creativity for when I read.

Hee, hee, hee, Reaper pulls the Jon Stewart classic 'I air after dueling robots' gambit!!!

When it comes to media and food and the finer things in life, respec mah authoritah!! I even got penz to MS Paint my patented methodology underlying my ruminations. But if it ever appears I might have gotten a little carried away in my recriminations, well everyone knows I'm just a little jokester who never ever takes his navel lint seriously.

Listen to my profound teachings!!! For I am a mere jokey jokeman!!! Heed my introspections!! for I am a lowly dancing monkey!!

jk'in witcha Reap.

No shit you're joking.

A serious look into my posting would, for the poster with a functioning sense of humor, reveal a distinction between my posts of good tastes and my posts of good taste that also include exaggerated violence. The violence and wrought language are in jest.

As for penz, I didn't get him to MS Paint anything. He posted that on his own and I am using it as an avatar because I can [and enjoy] laugh[ing] at myself.

Everything is a text.

You can watch Rambo III and enjoy it for the mindless explosions and still see the philosophical underpinnings inherent in the "One man does what evil gub'ment cannot" message.

A serious look into correlation of terminology would reveal as strong an inverse correlation between accusations of being 'an appalling human being' and threats exaggerated violence, as the correlation between Perez Hilton's queeny hyperventilations and 'put a boot in yer ass cuz it's tha 'mercan way' bravura.

I am unaware of saying that exagerrated violence represents the totality of my me-playing-around posts.

2010, the year Reap busts his 'sarcasm isn't self-evident on the internet' cherry. Pose for a post coital photo.

I disagree. I think that it is self-evident in nearly all cases. The only times that I don't detect sarcasm are when posters known for being idiots go all sunshine/dog's ass.

If you cannot recognize even the possibility that 'you're an appalling person' could be uttered in some degree of seriousness from a persona such as you've actively engendered here, particularly in response to the diss of an undeniably 'fapworthy' movie as CoM in said persona's general estimation, I can't help you.

And I'd add, your assertion that you've never ever had a sarcasmeter malfunction [unless the sarcasticator was somehow the anomoly], as well as how tenaciously you grip this whole 'sure I can be pretentious, but I could NEVER be TOO pretentious in this area' line just feeds into said persona.

In the interest of general peacable relations, I'll cop. I'm a dumbass, I should've recognized that Reaper was intimately versed in the subtle distinctions between reerun and full reerun when it comes to the sanctity of proper media criticism and opinion, and would never cross improper lines.
