So is Superman readable yet?

It's not like I'm paying for it

He erased her memory of his identity and left not knowing she was expecting... so it's not that bad.... also the previous two movies didn't happen... so that was good.

Everytime someone brings that up in the Superman Returns forum, other posters always seem to say that that part of Superman II didn't happen in SR's continuity. I don't know where that info comes from, if Singer stated it somewhere, or what, though.

And even if it did happen in SR's history, purposely erasing someone's mind is still a very un-Supermanish thing to do.

Do the Egyptian Gods not have sarcasm ?

That was sarcasm? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

 

[Harlekin]

Im pretty sure i already made a sarcastic reference to this fact, or was i being a bit optimistic expecting you to read my entire post ?

As Anubis already said, you obviously have no idea of what sarcasm actually means.

 

[yahman]

That was sarcasm? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

So the phrase 'i hope Widnick takes over' is not what you consider sarcastic when in the context that i couldn't ACTUALLY think of anyone worse to take over ? So when you say something and you mean the entire opposite, one is not being sarcastic ? In that case, could you please educate me in the 'true' ways of sarcasm ?

As Anubis already said, you obviously have no idea of what sarcasm actually means.

And if you hadn't been too busy riding Annubis's 'giant pyramid' you would have would have gone back and read my intial post (like i told you to do) and you would realise that Im actually correct, and youre talking crap.

actually, when the true meaning is the exact opposite of the literal meaning the word is...












IRONY

Well if we wre going to get all semantic (and i do like semantics), lets see what this definition says about the process of being sarcastic.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sarcasm

'–noun 1. harsh or bitter derision or irony.
2. a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: a review full of sarcasms. '

Yeah i think my original post meets all the credentials.

 

[Anubis]

Well, in the end, it comes down to the fact that you've shown instances where you're taste could be considered suspect, so you saying "Widnick" for Superman sounds about par for the course in the subject of you're crappy taste.

Also, you're teh most AWEsome poster evr what with the cut 'n' paste from the dictonary.

Now that's Sarcasm.

Context is the imperative word here. The context you seemingly assume is prevalent in your post, isn't actually there. A proper use of sarcasm here would've subtly included the info that you can't stand Winick's work. As it stands, that information isn't in your post, or in the posts preceding it. In other words: you suck at sarcasm.

And if you hadn't been too busy riding Annubis's 'giant pyramid' you would have would have gone back and read my intial post (like i told you to do) and you would realise that Im actually correct, and youre talking crap.

You've got love responses like this. I did read your post again, in case I missed anything. I figured I'd do so again. There's nothing in there, besides suggesting the resurrection of Kubrick that suggests sarcasm. Of course, if you were actually able to apply sarcasm, that might've been different.

I've shown instances when my taste could be considered suspect ? Oh thats a good one, except i think i've illustrated my tastes in comics on about three ocassions, and on the whole i generally agree with what you like, so your point is mute. Just because you're incapable of seeing blatant sarcasm, there is no necessity of being so defensive.

And im sure most would agree, trying to establish sarcasm and irony as different entitys (and was I being blantantly ironic), and then going on to mock my tatses (something that no-one on this forum could really have any idea about, as i haven't expressed them) clearly shows that you are fustrated over your inability to see obvious sarcasm ?

IMO your probably feeling like the ******ed kid who believed gullibility was taken out of the dictionary.

Also, you're teh most AWEsome poster evr what with the cut 'n' paste from the dictonary.

This is how much i care about my blase attitude towards spelling on the internet ...................

I love it how people on this forum associate; correcting spelling with wit.

In other words: you suck at sarcasm..

It isn't there, becasue it didn't think it was necessary.

I thought it was blantantly obvious that i was being ironic?

Just becasue you have the subtelty of a nuclear bomb, there is no reason to take it out on those who are more mentally estuite.

This whole incident reminds of the scene where the American is trying to explain humor to Borrat. Next time i'll put a 'Nottttttt !' and the end of any sarcastic sentence I make.

I've highlighted it in bold, so even you cant miss it this time ....

Blade Runner meets Gladiator sounds pretty cool to me. Im sure a more suitable approach would also be good as well.

Who said anything about Superman II? The last two movies were 3 and 4. Erasing a single memory isn't all that bad. Leaving the Earth, not knowing that you have a kid is not the same as being a dead beat dad. Sure it's not the perfect story, but at least it wasn't III or IV.

Spelling and typos I can deal with. Using completely the wrong word?


Well...




That just makes you look like the ******ed kid who believed gullibility was taken out of the dictionary.

Whether it's the correct use of sarcasm or not is MOOT

A ****ty joke is a ****ty joke

p.s. you smell

 

[yahman]

Whether it's the correct use of sarcasm or not is MOOT

Actually that was there's and your original point ! Im glad you agree now.

A ****ty joke is a ****ty joke

Exactly, i never stated otherwise !

I just don't like being criticised unfairly. It was suggested that i didn't know what sarcasm was, when reality the only problem was; Annubis and co's inability to see the obvious.

I do believe it was you, who then suggested that sarcasm and irony are seperate entitys, except you can't be sarcastic and not be ironic.

The only valid (valid and good aren't the same thing) araguemnet has made against me is my inability to spell. If you want to seriously rebuke my point, i suggest you stop pouring water down my duck feathered back.

 

[Harlekin]

It isn't there, becasue it didn't think it was necessary.

This line is exactly why you fail at sarcasm. Context is key when sarcasm is applied to text.

I thought it was blantantly obvious that i was being ironic?

Obviously not.

Just becasue you have the subtelty of a nuclear bomb, there is no reason to take it out on those who are more mentally estuite.

I love how you make comments on my mental abilities when A) you don't know me and B) you can't even use correct English. But, please, continue to question my mental faculties. It makes you look so awesome.

That was sarcasm, by the way. In case you didn't notice.

I've highlighted it in bold, so even you cant miss it this time ....

What are you expecting, kudos? That sentence makes no sense. Reread it yourself, please. It's rife with grammatical errors, and on that I'll give you a hint: Tautology.

 

[Stallion9979]

I Like Ice Cream...

 

[Anubis]

This conversation is boring. Yahman, you've totally destroyed this thread with your inability to grasp the concept of Sarcasm. We're gonna have an Ice Cream party and you can't have any.

Eddie Murphy......was a genius. It all went to hell after he took off the leather pants though.

You did.

He erased her memory of his identity and left not knowing she was expecting... so it's not that bad.... also the previous two movies didn't happen... so that was good.

The memory erasure occured in Superman II, and, as I said before, is debatable whether it's part of SR's continuity or not.

 

[Harlekin]

Yeah, he really used to be. When I note his old families, I'm always sad to say: Watch it! That was Eddie Murphy when he was funny.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

I don't think Superman Returns will be in continuity if a reboot is done. Superman Returns was something alot of people did not like,i won't say it..because people already know. Superman's son will be killed off or erased somewhere,and that's it.
