You did say that...it also appears edited from the last time I looked at it. (But it was late when I read it.) And not really, his first post was more about shutting people up and expressing he wanted discussion. And if the next question is "why have a discussion then?" My answer is. "Why make a bloody post then?"


No, I did NOT say that. It is not edited- I rarely edit my posts unless I left something out. I said "PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE" but somehow, FOR SOME GOD FORSAKEN REASON, you somehow misconstrued that to "LITERALLY EVERYONE SAID THEY SAW THE MOVIE, AND GAVE THEIR OPINIONS ON IT, WHY COULDN'T YOU!?!" I said "PRETTY MUCH everyone" because I can acknowledge that there WERE some people that said they were going to regurgitate the popular opinion on the movie, without having seen it (which they NEVER DID, mind you, probably because they said that as a fucking joke.) His first post was about wanting to discuss a movie he liked with people who actually saw the movie. Stop putting words in people's mouths.

I asked about his opinions on off topic discussions, had nothing to do with the movie and my hesitant feelings about it. He shit on and dismissed those too...:/ And I asked him, what counter points would you have to my statements? And he didn't address them whatsoever...

If saying I'm glad you enjoyed it, is something derogatory or mocking. Please inform me how. Just because I was mostly critical, I don't think I was particularly rude. Him on the other hand.


If you think, FOR A SECOND, that I'm going to bring something like that out of the blue, then there's an issue. I was referring to this:

"Others seemed to dislike it, why did you like it?"


Your stupid version of what's supposed to be a nice, not-shitty way of starting an argument.

But you want to talk about your first post? Fine! More power to you! Lemme join in for a second here!

Not really that big of a fan, saw the show forever ago when it was on adult swim. But even cursory knowledge of the anime. I never thought this would be a good movie, I'm not even sure it could work with a good director...and not the guy who made Snow White & The Huntsman.


This is a strong beginning to a discussion. Talking about how you weren't a fan (someone who hadn't read the rest of this thread could think you actually SAW the movie), while talking about how you saw the show quite a bit ago. Fair enough. Fine. Not rude. Moving on to th NEXT part.

But if you saw it, and enjoyed it. Good. Nothing wrong with that. :3 But you certainly seem to be in the minority on that one, critics and IMDB users seem to all dislike it. The shitty remakes seem to be in full demand nowadays...just listening to a clip of Beauty and the Beast, the auto tuning was so, so bad.


But if you saw it, and enjoyed it. Good. Nothing wrong with that.


Could be snarky. Don't want to make assumptions.

:3


Right, fuck you for this one.

But you certainly seem to be in the minority on that one, critics and IMDB users seem to all dislike it.


It sounds like being in the minority here is a negative thing, and like you're looking down onto the people that liked the movie with a snide grin. "Oh, you liked that movie? I guess we all have your opinions, even if everyone else disliked it." But y'know what? Maybe that's unfair.

On a unrelated note, people defending netflix's death note...I'm not even really a "weeb" by any standard. But how can anyone expect that to be any good? Especially by that trailer...You know, maybe it's the cynic in me. But as much as people like to laugh at people for overreacting...(and granted, It's the internet, it's always overreacting in all circles.) But at the very same time, how many times does it actually turn out that the nerd rage was wrong? I swear more often than not, people are right on the money...maybe by the simple fact it's easier to cash grab and suck. Then to actually be good and put effort in something. But I can't remember of any video game and movie rage fest, that didn't turn out almost exactly as expected...at least recently.


Entirely off-topic...though at the end you started talking about how every-time there's been a bad remake recently, the nerds called it. Back on the topic at hand, you mentioned how critics disliked Ghost in the Shell, almost confirming what you said was correct. But that's not rude, is it? To bring up how a movie someone liked was bashed by critics, how they're the minority for liking it, how all the nerds called it would be terrible, and how they're almost always right. Driven right home by this shitty nail in the coffin:

*Shrug* Just a random thought. :P


Bull-fucking-shit "just a random thought." Even capped off by shrugging and posting that fucking rude-ass tongue-out emote.

Are we done here? Can we move on? Yes? Alright.

Maybe if someone says, "Don't speak negatively about this movie evers!"


Once again. You're putting words in Awson's mouth.

I can ask them about a different movie in a similar vein, and have that person go.

"I have an opinion on that, so allow me to share it with you, or I have no opinion on that unfortunately. But have you seen that movie? You should lemme tell you my thoughts about it."


Except you didn't do that. When told you were just spouting someone else's opinion you said "You make it sound like I care" with another one of those dumb-ass tongue-out emotes. You clearly didn't and still don't care about having an actual discussion about the movie. You then proceeded to call them a meany because they didn't want to talk to someone about a movie that person hasn't seen. How hard is that to understand? Where is the conversation with someone who's just read reviews or seen a plot synopsis on Wikipedia? What can you talk about if you haven't actually seen the movie? Well, besides the stuff you could have actually talked about that I mentioned up there.

Because that's what a social person would do. ^-^ Make a discussion even if it's not a direct subject to their particular topic. NOT get on a pedestal and be a high and mighty and call their opinions too low to discuss with.


They're not YOUR opinions your discussing with. They're someone else's Awson has probably already had plenty of discussions about.

I was being social, (granted not perfect, but when your rejected so bluntly at a start without a good reason. It happens.) I didn't see the movie, but I DID see reviews for it. Because I often do look at them first. Being honest and sincere about my unsure feelings, and since I was uninformed. Asked about something similar instead. Hoping (in vain) that I could still start a friendly informative discussion about something. See how social-ness/starting discussions with other people and how it works now? (or at least how I see the 101 guide on "How to be social online.") :D


See, now, half of that? Fair enough! You've got me there- you wanted to talk about the movie without having seen it. But don't feel offended when someone says they don't want to talk to you about a movie they've seen and you haven't.

And you didn't ask about something similar- you brought up something similar to prove a point, which is a right cunt thing to do. You even tried framing it as "off-topic."

If everyone went by your way of "starting a conversation online and being social", there'd be many, many more arguments.

And if you want an example of someone in this thread being perfectly social, here's fucking Awson doing a damn good job at it:

Ghost in the Shell is a good movie


false


@Raddum Have you seen it? Why do you think that?


A pretty good example of how to start a conversation with someone that has a different opinion than yours.

Finally, because I haven't tackled this one enough:

And if the next question is "why have a discussion then?" My answer is. "Why make a bloody post then?"


Because Awson wanted to discuss a movie he liked with people who's opinions he respects, or at least wants to hear. He has a higher opinion of the Spam than you do, clearly.

YOU, though, YOU think Spam is anti-social, and won't have your opinions at all...so

Why are you STILL still here?
mdk


Christ, it feels like I'm becoming Jorick.
You really, really don't have the numbers right on "everyone saw it but you." Literally at beginning five other people mentioned not watching it or haven't seen it yet or didn't mention it. So, yeah...if I asked "Others seemed to dislike it, why did you like it?" I have a feeling I'd of gotten the same spiteful reaction. :/


Not what I said, but fair enough. Some people at least said they were going to watch it and form their own opinions on it, someone even came back to post what they thought of the movie.

Generally, you don't start a discussion with a question framed in a way that could be construed as snide. A normal person- or, even not a normal person- would say, even if they hadn't seen it, "What were the parts of the movie that made you enjoy it?" or something to that effect. Or single out things. "What did you think of the movie's special effects?" "What were the similarities and differences between the movie and the anime?" "How many boners did you pop while looking at Scarlett Johansson in a skintight body suit?" "What was your favorite character? What about your least favorite?" And if you really think you would have gotten yelled at for asking a question...then you clearly don't have a high-opinion of the people on this forum. Why strike up a conversation with them at all?

@BrobyDDark

Correct me if I'm wrong but, I sense a hint of sarcasm in his desire to discuss it if I have any negative opinions...

And it's not a blind opinion, I know the directors previous work. But I have a sneaking suspicion he DOESN'T want ANY conversation. If I saw the movie or not...because the very post itself is talking about "people who don't know what they're talking about" <-those people that saw the movie.

Also I really don't see a fucking point in posting something, and then bite back at people who comments...seems really, really dumb.

Maybe not the person to ask here. But why are so many people seemly so antisocial on this forum? :P The whole point of forums is to socialize...


Well, he didn't say totally, for sure, or post it in italics, so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say he's not being sarcastic.

It IS a blind opinion. You haven't seen the movie, yet you want to say its bad. It doesn't matter if you've seen the director's previous works- directors can change their style from movie to movie. M.Night Shyamalan usually makes really bad movies, but he also has plenty of well-received, well-directed movies, which are often different than his terrible movies. The same goes for writers, artists, actors, producers, so on and so forth.

If I went into a thread about a certain topic, then said the certain topic was shit, people would snap at me too. Why? Because it's a really stupid thing to do. Now, if I went into a thread about a certain topic, wrote something to spark further conversation about the negatives AND the positives about the topic, then conversed with people about how so and so could have been done better, but another thing was really well done, I can guarantee I wouldn't be snapped at. Why? Because I'm actually promoting the conversation with my opinion.

Not everyone here is anti-social. Maybe awkward and defensive, but not anti-social. We all come here to genuinely have fun. Sure, we shit on each-other a lot. If you go through my recent posts, I basically do nothing but bitch at Aaron, Vilage, and Keyguyperson for being commies. But it's for fun. Awson wanted to share his opinion about a movie, and asked people to share their opinion about it if they've ACTUALLY seen it, and pretty much everyone but YOU did.
And in other threads, people are sharing their opinions- both their negative and positive opinions- by having lots of conversations about different topics.
And in other threads, people are playing their games and telling jokes.
And in other threads people are talking about their lives lately.

If that's fucking anti-social, I'd love to see this place when it's being its most social, because it sounds like a damn good time.
