Jamie Foxx IS Electro - Part 2

[Picard Sisko]

On a scale of 1-10?

[Eggyman]

7.5 or maybe an 8 if I'm stoned.

[Picard Sisko]

I could have sworn you gave it an 8.5 at one point.

Yeh that was my initial score right after first seeing it. I've had time to articulate my problems with the film since then and dropped the score accordingly, but overall I'm still positive about and its sequel.

That happens with any movie though. I gave the Avengers an even 10/10 after the first viewing, lowered it to a 9/10.

Yeh, it's natural. Nothing to worry about here.

[Picard Sisko]

Yup!

Even with the best movies out there, my opinion always seems to lower over time. It happened with The Godfather (still my favorite movie of all time), Pulp Fiction, Saving Private Ryan, The Dark Knight, etc.

I suppose it's because in TASM the enviroment was rendered cgi and in Spider-Man it was CGI in a real enviroment. I really wish they'd go back to that...

The CGI was really well done in SM1,on a relatively low budget aswell

The worst swinging was in SM2,when he would just throw a web in the air and float around without any anchor points

omg. Good thing I'm working on my masters thesis here and not posting on a superhero message board! Oh wait...

But that's cool, I'll try to be more like you from now and post more contentless rejoinders.

Maybe I'll like TAS-M more stoned...lol.

Some movies will always stay the same rating-wise though, I believe. Those are the very special movies I'd say.

The problem is that you are being very abrasive and contentious about your opinion, but when someone calls you out on your misuse of terms and inconsistencies, you backtrack and go "well good thing I'm on a forum and this isn't a serious discussion!" Well, you've been treating it like a serious discussion... until people pointed out your mistakes.

My rejoinder wasn't contentless, it was pointing out a recurring issue with your arguments. That said, I'm honored that you want to be more like me... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

You do? The swinging in ASM was way better IMO.

Because you're obviously so above being "abrasive" and "contentious". lol.

"Recurring issue with your arguments"? Aside from my overzealous use of the word "direct", I've got no idea what you're on about-but you should feel free to point out any other instances of my "misuse of terms (plural) and inconsistencies(huh?)"...You act like it's a consistent thing, but really, you're just embellishing and exaggerating to bolster your claim.

So, your comment about my using a term loosely (not misused or used inconsistently) IS pretty much without content. Perhaps I'll include footnotes and citiations in my posts to help make things exceedingly clear for you, since that seems to be what you need.


That said, I sure didn't see any actual counter argument from you to my very lucid and clear post expounding on my point about the sloppily written nature of Peter's consistent, inexplicable irresponsibilty, negligence and selfishness in TASM...

Come on, man. When the whole force of your argument hinges on terms like "direct responsibility" and "father figure," and then you have to backtrack and admit you misused those terms, are you really going to act surprised that your argument isn't found compelling? I don't need you to footnote terms in an online discussion. But sheesh, at least use the terms correctly.

Because that wasn't my point of contention. My argument was that Peter was not directly responsible for Uncle Ben or Captain Stacy's death. I don't see why you commenting on a tangential point necessitates that I respond.

But anywho, I think I've made my point, whether you appreciate it or not. So adios for now.

Okay, I get what where you're coming from, but I'm not sure how admitting the misuse of a word is the same as "backtracking"- which suggests that I've changed or reversed my original stance. I haven't (even if it wasn't communicated as effectively as it could have been). You're still too caught up on the word "direct" (misused). I have since elaborated and clarified my point though. Still not sure what you mean about the "father figure" term. It wasn't used incorrectly.

As noted in one of my last posts, the initial argument someone presented was that it was silly to hold Peter as being responsible for Ben's, Captain Stacy's and Gwens death, because Peter was only caught up in a series of events. My argument was that he was responsible because he was the catalyst for the series of events. Nothing tangential about it. That's the argument.

Adios!

[Compi716]

Well. Okay then.

The lights are clearly for CGI placement (i.e., the glow of electricity), similar to the techniques used for Ghost Rider. As for the blue, well...this is pretty much what I was expecting.

Star mask, you shall be missed.

[The Infernal]

Yeah, that's pretty meh to me. A bit too Mr. Freeze in a hoodie. I know that's not going to be his costume, but his blue skin and electric veins aren't doing much for me. Hopefully he looks much better in a proper costume and in the actual film though.

I know I won't miss it.

These are only set pics, but they're already better than 616 Electro.

On a lighter note, he reminds me of the Underworld executioner guy from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

[Venom'sDad]

Ugh

[UltimateWebhead]

Electric blue. I dig it. I'm trying to reserve my judgement til we get to see some official pics...but so far it looks good.

[Repulsor Blast]

bout time this thread became active again haha

[Brain Damage]

Interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet, but I definitely don't dislike it.

[jacobed]

Looks pretty awesome
