Yavar, I really don’t give a damn that you think I am a “jerk” who says “shitty, shitty” things.

Oh, I know you don't. Jerks usually don't care about being shitty (or being called out on it). I do it for the benefit of other people reading this. Arguing with someone on the internet will almost never change their mind. But it may have weight with the other people reading. smileo


In my experience, people who archly accuse people of being “jerks” just because they disagree with an opinion, or the way that opinion is expressed, rarely carry much weight with other people.

Are you looking forward to Deadpool 3? It will be fun to see Hugh Jackman back playing Wolverine won’t it? Oh wait, that can’t be right because in 2017, “Honest Jim” Mangold said that a condition of him directing Logan was that it would definitely be the “last ride” (Mangold’s exact words) for Jackman’s Wolverine.

You're not being serious, are you?


Really, really, really obviously not, but people keep taking the bait.

I got an idea...how about waiting until the movie is OUT before deciding it sucks? Some of us have optimism and don't prematurely diss things just because we think it's gonna be bad. If people would go into things with an open mind, they might just be able to pull their heads out of their own ass long enough to enjoy something.


Don't think I said the movie will suck but the trailer sucks and considering the amount of CG stuffed into every shot of it, I doubt the movie will be much better than Crystal Skull.

But your attitude is exactly why the vast majority of all these new movies suck balls. There's a large enough segment of the population so lacking in critical thinking or reasonable discernment they simply consume product and ask for more of the same no matter how bland or unpleasant it is.

The accountants who make these movies know it and know exactly what the return on investment will be. That's why there's been a new Spider Man movie just about every two years for the last two decades - there's so many people willing to spend cash to see the same thing over and over again there's no need to try anything else.

Schiffy already replied to this, but:

1) It WAS the "last ride" in that Jackman's Wolverine died in that movie. I'm sure that's all that was meant; he directed Logan on the condition that he could kill off the character in the movie. You think Fox would enter into a contract with Mangold where they would make a legal promise to never bring Jackman back? Like...what universe do you live in?


Like…. I live in the universe where it is really, really, really funny to, like, see how obviously ridiculous I can make a post and still, like, get some people to be all pissy about it. It’s a great game and the gift that keeps on giving. Like. smile.

Like, Happy Christmas Yavar.

Oh, you were trying to PWN everyone! By golly, that's super-duper clever!

You have to admit, though, it's hard to tell when you're being a troll and when you're not as the posts don't change much. Hats off to you, sir.

Hope the holidays aren't too lonely for you.

Yeah...you know what? Go ahead and stick your head back up your ass, you can find comfort there. And BTW, Crystal Skull was entertaining and enjoyable so take that attitude, critical thinking, and reasonable discernment and suck on it.

I have no idea what the fuck “PWN” means because (a) i’m not 19 and (b) not trying to be down with the kiddies using modern idioms. But I’m also not a troll. It’s not my fault some people here are barely intelligent enough to walk and chew gum at the same time let alone recognise satire.

Holidays will be fine for me actually, but thanks so much for your concern, It’s heartwarming that someone as superior as yourself should be concerned about me during the Christmas period but there is no need to worry sir. Thankfully I am blessed with many friends and can surround myself with people who have brain cells and can appreciate humour, sarcasm, irony and words constructed of more than two syllables. Obviously not the likes of you and he equally lovely Yavar, but, like, real people with personalities and stuff.

Enjoy your Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year and try not to be too bitter towards your fellow humans just because you don’t agree with them. That’s how Herod started and he never comes of well at Christmas.

You know what? I love movies and movie music and for the most part love reading the diverse, informed, intelligent, respectful exchanges of thought and polarised opinions here on FSM.

But at the same time, and in the spirit of the holiday season, I have to say that there really are a number of pathetic little morons on FSM too. People who can’t just accept that someone has a different view, or a different approach to expressing their opinions. People who can’t engage in mature, intelligent and cogent debate and instead resort to playground insults like “jerk”, insist people are trolls or are just plain condescending.

To the vast majority of people here, who are respectful and able to debate in an intelligent and polite manner, happy Christmas. To the very very few of you who aren’t, to use the highly eloquent words of Jedizim, “go ahead and stick your head back up your ass”.

Hello All,

I see we're all getting into the Christmas spirit by fighting and calling each other names over a movie trailer.

Thanks a lot.

Locking this thread and a reminder, swearing at people will result in your banishment.

Thanks!

Lukas
