I'm so sad... I wanted to like this film. But do you know what I think after seeing the recent footage from the trailer and new documentary?
DAMN YOU SINGER!!!!!!!!!I am going to LOVE it!!!! That means I'll be going broke from frequent IMAX viewings, various collectors merchandise, the x-box 360 game, and the DVD that will eventually come out. I will be broke because of Singer

Matt said:what the hell do you think this thread is?
Matt said:Its assinine mentality that anyone who dislikes the movie is a troll that causes us to have to be babysat by C. Lee ...and for the record, what the hell do you think this thread is?
Matt said:JCDC, no offense...but I bet if I made this same exact thread saying "I know I will hate it" all of you applauding JCDC would be calling me a troll and a moderator would close this thread before it got 20 replies. Double standards are fun.
\S/JcDc\S/ said:As for this thread, it takes the regular mopey "I dislike this movie" attitude and flips it around. It's my example of misdirection. *hint* It's something Singer is known for. So you saw one thing with the thread title, some can speculate "well it's Jc he would never turn his back on this movie" or others may speculate from the title details alone "omg, Jc has changed his view and doesn't like SR!"
Interesting huh? So one can say "I heard Lois has a kid" and disregard how is plays out (which we don't know yet)
Get it?
Btw I found this excerpt pretty interesting from the interview posted
"Dan: There's a very interesting way that the film unfolds in the first 20 minutes, we'd love to tell you but we can't. It's told in a way people wouldn't really expect."
Matt said:This is nothing more than trolling that is being applauded by the masses.
\S/JcDc\S/ said:No, it's poking fun at those who come in and act like they are first to ever say they dislike SR. So I flipped it around for fun, it also pokes fun at those who are ready to jump on others that have a negative comment. Some may have come in to say "YOU ARE WRONG YOU IDIOT" but instead found that it was just a comedic post and I'm actually looking forward to SR.
For the record. I don't run to the mods when someone says they dislike SR. I make a a response about it, and usually I'm the one who gets in trouble for it. That's what kind of bugs me.
Matt said:However, if I made the same exact post only I was serious about my dislike for the movie, can you honestly deny that ALL of the people who applauded you would call me a troll? I was just pointing out double standards. You are making fun of a certain group, be it through a comedic manner or not, and sadly people like Showtime and Robocop seem to think that is trolling and C. Lee has agreed to enforce their standards, so you are trolling my friend.
Agnarr said:Gushing with enthusiasm isn't trolling. Trolling is making disparaging/negative/hostile remarks to piss people off for the fun of it and not engaging in rational debate. I agree with you Matt that if you made a thread the opposite of this, it could be taken (incorrectly) as trolling. Given the incessant griping about this movie, I think a strictly positive thread is refreshing. Thanks Jc, I totally agree with you.

Not only are double standards fun.....but assuming the worst about people and broad generalizations about people brings a smile to my face too.Matt said:JCDC, no offense...but I bet if I made this same exact thread saying "I know I will hate it" all of you applauding JCDC would be calling me a troll and a moderator would close this thread before it got 20 replies.

Oh, I'm sorry Matt....I forgot I was supposed to send a detailed report on the reason for all of my actions to you first.Matt said:Its happened before.

Has it ever crossed your mind that everything ISN'T a grand conspiracy by "THE MAN" to keep the little guy down? Sometimes threads need to be closed.....that simple.
