Still bitter about your Clone Wars thread, huh.
The following films are crap

One thing I find funny too is when I say something like "This Clone Wars movie looks like crap and two friends say it sucks and about 100 people on the internet have said it too," then I say " I'm not going to see it now." then people here may make statements to the effect that I'm closed-minded and prejudiced and so forth.
Really people, don't judge someone's entire character by the fact that they already chose not to see a cartoon okay? You don't know me.

If you're talking about that other thread of his, "everybody" consists of one person.
I love Titanic. It's one of my favourite movies.

I kinda liked Titanic.

Hey this board is nothing without hyperbole.
Noone is saying you have to see clone wars, if you say, I am not seeing this film because I dont want to, that is your right.
If you say, I'm not going to see this film because its shit, thats not really something you are qualified to say.
If you see the film and then say its shit, fair enough.
But a film you havent seen is like Schrodeners cat, its not good or shit until you have seen it, until then it exists in both states.
Don't forget Trek XI.

I trust my friends. I also end up agreeing with Roger Ebert much of the time, Harry Knowles too.
I kinda liked Titanic.
I liked it when I went to see it in theatres. I remember walking out thinking it had great set pieces and that Kate Winslet was hot. Recommended it to friends, telling them that it was more than just a shlocky romance. Then when it came out on video and I rented it, I just stared in abject shock at the television as the movie muddled through seemingly interminable bad dialogue and pretentious filmmaking. "I liked this? What the fuck was I thinking?" I'm not sure what happened in between viewings to provoke such a radical shift; it's just a film that doesn't stand up to repeat viewings (and possibly I was so impressed by the actual sinking that I forgot about the preceding dullness).
And it was only one bloody sentence, too, which I then apologized for. Let's not get all anal and blow things out of proportion, people, shall we?
No? I've never seen a giraffe in person, but I'm comfortable saying giraffes are tall. I've never been shot, but I'm comfortable saying being shot is a painful experience. I am capable of taking benefit and learning from the experiences of other. In this case, I have an overwhelming critical consensus averaging out to 'it's utter dreck', the opinions of several people whose tastes I've come to trust who have seen it and confirmed said consensus, and my own instincts/critical judgment on viewing the trailers and other promotional material, which aren't infallible but are very rarely wrong about what films I'd enjoy/not enjoy at the theatres. I'm not going to spend time and money to see a film and further contribute the the financial 'success' of an inferior product just to have the bragging rights to say 'it's crap, and I should know because I've wallowed in it!'.
Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman
This was dealt with. Let's not get all anal and not read on, shall we?

Absolutely horrible thread.
^ I did read on. That's how I knew the attitude behind the comment continued despite your and MarianH's deconstruction of the initial accusation.

Harry Knowles is the ultimate Star Wars apologist. If HE says it's crap, well...
So I wasn't being anal? Cool. Carry on.
Indeed. How awesome would it have been if Cameron had just busted out Dio doing Holy Diver over the credits?
Okay, so the song is about Satan descending to Hell, but it works for the ship and the movie too. There are diamonds, ocean references, steel, impending doom, and most importantly, something full of holes diving. It's like it's TAILOR MADE.

Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Holy Diver
Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away-get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel
Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen

Make 2
And I never said "everybody" I said "people", last time I checked, more than one person, was people.
Not to get anal about it or anything.
It's settled then. Someone should have the last word. Might as well be you.
