nah this aint done

the movie does portray DIRTY INDIANS
dirty indians in what sense?  no man it's not like sin city where everyone is BWAHAHAA....EVIL hehehe.  dirty as in most live in abject poverty?  yes but come on, this is what most of the movie is about.

Quote
also a child who got blinded for life by his brother tells him who's on a bill this is your definition of nice
dont even know what this sentence means.  are you sure you watched the movie this time??  this isnt what happened.  wait no it's just phrased poorly.  yeah this is my definition of nice because if you remember that much about the exchange you remember how benevolent he was.  don't skew things just to make it seem like i am wrong dawg

a cop who ELECTROCUTES HIM and then can't prove he's cheating isn't completely bad. come on dude.
he was a pretty alright guy in the end.  yes he electrocuted him but you know, standards for these things vary depending on where you are.  was this something that would've been done here?  nope.  but at the same time taking him out of the context he is in and judging him but a different set of cultural standards is silly.  relative to that setting yeah he was a pretty okay guy.  you could call him STERN BUT FAIR.  it is not as if it's just GOOD VS BAD here.  to me, some of the characters seemed to reflect an active attempt on the part of the writer or director or whoever to show that they were not one-dimensionally good/evil.

also what are you even citing here.  i said the GAMESHOW angle was pretty dumb but had they taken it out i dont think you can fairly say YO THIS MOVIE....IS DUMB AS FUCK.  cliffhanger is dumb as fuck.  xXx: state of the union is dumb as fuck.  one of us here has no concept of degrees and i dont think its me!!  i don't know what your issue with CHILD PROSTITUTION or any of the other stuff is, the bathtub scene was pretty heavy-handed, the child krishna isn't anything you'd be able to know without BEING INDIAN, and idk i would not even consider it an EVIL KINGDOM.  it's some normal shitty world!  jamal isnt the only good person and yea hes trying to SAVE her but i do not think it can be simplified to a damsel in distress story because a lot of the other parts of it do not really FIT into that.  also NO ONE was a very interesting character.  don't act like just because she was fairly simple that it was sexist because there was no one on the cast who WASNT fairly simple.  the prize thing is valid but i think thats a reflection of the culture maybe??  anyway if you just look at it as kinda fairytalish story put in a gritty//realistic setting then i think it is okay.  its a.....its a modern fairytale...

called him racist for what was clearly a joke post based on a movie that even a huge fan could tell you is dumb as fuck.
whoa he didnt detect his sarcasm....  w/e dude MR. A'S BAD AT THE INTERNET what do you want

Quote
mr. a blows constantly. maybe you do not keep track of this but this is the second time he's come out of the woodwork just to annoy Ryan because he disagrees with something he said. if this topic stops him from ever doing that again, good.
nah it's still not acceptable because there is shit you dont say to people???  whoa he posts once every six months and made some post directed towards ryan..guess i gotta say things that are ridiculously inappropriate in any context.  no adult talks like this dude and if you dont recognize THE LINE or think it's fine because it's MR A and not someone you care about or because you were in the mood to be warned then the problem is with you

Quote
Mr. A yelling about racism when not that long ago he used to get on irc and be exceedingly vulgar about his girlfriend and their sex practices is pretty hypocritical
how is this hypocritical, exactly.  also that might've been quite a while ago, actually

Quote
it has this weird AMERICA..THE BEAUTIFUL theme going on the entire time
what does this even mean.  like what are you talking about!!!  even steel is having trouble figuring out what you mean by this

Quote
the dude used to get on irc and go into every little detail about his sex life. it was fine for him to talk about eating her out and what her pussy tasted like but if someone called her anything less than EXTRAORDINARILY BEAUTIFUL (she wasnt btw.. mwahaha) he would have a fit
how is this relevant at all to anything.  MR A....HE USED TO DO THIS STUFF *acts terribly immature*.  honestly there is not a whole lot i can say about this type of behavior beyond PETTY//CHILDISH and i hope for your sake eventually you will COME AROUND and agree that this is not a way you talk to anyone regardless of how much you dislike them.  you should be better than this

i just got this weird impression that it was somehow implying that india as a nation is just terribly inept and shitty compared to america! i tried explaining this more but i can't really come up with anything so maybe i'm full of it!

it's relevant because it makes him look a wee bit hypocritical! it's fine for him to talk extremely vulgar and plain retarded but when i call an Indian an INJUN it's okay for him to call me immature!

also i agree that making fun of someones girlfriend is pretty childish, but he's annoying as fuck and what can i say? he just grinds my gears!!!

i mean.  he called you a RACIST not immature.  i'm having trouble understanding it.  like yes he was dumb for not getting the post but steel said this too and i feel like it's a bit of a stretch to call him hypocritical.  he gives explicit details about his sex life, therefore he is a hypocrite for saying you are a racist for using a potential slur?  i don't think the issue was with the VULGARITY of it but with, you know, the slur itself.  i'm sure if you said FUCKIN COCKSUCKER he would not have complained.  there's a diff between saying stuff thats vulgar and saying slurs!  i dont think people take issue with them for the same reason.  i don't, anyway.  he only called you immature after the INJUN thing when you brought up his girlfriend which is probably fairly accurate.  if it happened like you said it did it would be pr. hypocritical but it didnt!!

idk man bort for example has told me pretty graphic details about his sex life but i wouldnt call him a hypocrite if he called me a racist for saying something potentially racist, or if he called me immature when i randomly insulted his girlfriend as an attack against him.  neither of those things are very similar to telling dudes about your sex life!  actually it might be kinda immature to blab about your sexual encounters but come on man we have all done this and it's not on the same level as saying YEAH WELL....YOUR MOM'S A BIG FAT WHALE FUCK YOU

heres something.......... top pics for 2008............ i am counting wrestler as 2008 movie

1. The Dark Knight
2. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
3. Iron Man
4. Slumdog Millionaire
5. Burn After Reading
6. Tropic Thunder
7. The Wrestler
8. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
9. Zack and Miri Make a Porno
10. Hancock

Biggest disappointment was probably Quantum of Solace. It was decent but Casino Royale was much better. New Indiana Jones was disappointing too but I'm a big fan and I still liked it. It's by no means great though. Also Get Smart was pretty decent too and those are pretty much all the movies I remember seeing in 2008. I still gotta watch Wall-E. tbh it was a surprisingly good year for movies at least for me, i usually have hard time picking like 3-4 movies which i clearly liked but this time i got 10!

I mentioned several times I was seeing this across the forum. people just wanna get mad at Ryan for joke posts. it's dumb and I don't know how it started. they've been doing it to you too, remember earl chip, climbtree, and coxswain all doing the same thing? it's stupid and annoying and I don't care if Mr. A is a cause or just another bandwagoner but I'm tired of people trying to take other people down a notch.
a series of unrelated items...what a disgusting trend! let's try to force this one, pidge says to himself, it'll be the basis of my defense. yes, yes...this annoying trend. earl chip versus headphonics, a regular old david and goliath

except it was just between me and him, and unlike coxswain criticizing whoever for whatever reason, it only concerned us. I wanted to end this stupid animosity we had going on for months. this somehow sounds like earl taking jeff down a peg at all?? there were no pegs to take down, no pegs. maybe you should add headphonics versus pidge and ryan to your list instead pops


and I barely saw anything new. the good ones were wall-e and the dark knight, and the kinda bad ones were indiana jones and get smart. I wish I had liked get smart because FUNNY SPY FILM but it wasn't really funny. I am a fan of indiana jones, or at least I used to be when I was a kid, but the new movie was really dumb. and maybe it was just me, but it seemed to lack any element of exploration, just a bunch of hopping from location to location just to have an action scene or to get on with the stupid plot. I dunno, it was probably the worst movie I saw since transformers.
