So there are movies out there other than Battletits, Men in Black Men 3, and Snow Wet and the… well, you get the idea.
This is my view also. Equipoise and I often disagree, and equally often agree, and we have had a few brief conversations here that have been quite entertaining for me. So I can’t really complain about that.
…and the Seven Dorfs? Brain Bleach will be $5.
Equipose does get very pretentious when blathering on about films though. Every time I see one of her screeds I can’t help but feel that instead of watching five movies a day, she should go out for a run or something. Maybe meet some real people.
Yeah, you could totally just click on a link instead of having to make the effort of clicking on a link. 
I could be wrong, but doesn’t she go to all those movies with her husband?
lissener set the bar for movie snobbery so high that no other mortal can even approach it. I scorn lesser poseurs as unworthy of my attention. I’m a snob when it comes to movie snobs.
It’s a reference to a song.
If she is blowing some guy at the back of the theatre five times a day then I retract my previous statement.
What the fuck, man? Honestly, what the fuck?
It’s kind of nice to know where the link goes before clicking through.
Album, actually. Happy Rhodes. You’ve probably never heard of her 
Damnit MrDibble, I scrolled through this entire thread waiting for the Happy Rhodes reference and thought I’d get to be the first!
I believe it’s a variation on Huntsman, actually…
No. I believe that’s an Equus Pose
I see nothing wrong w/ what **Equipoise **posted in that thread at all. **Twixster **made an ignorant statement about the types of movies that are released and **Equipoise **corrected her and gave a list of numerous original films out RIGHT NOW that prove her point that there is always a load of original material out there waiting to be seen, if everyone wasn’t clamoring to be the first to see something with Iron Man or Jack Sparrow in it.
Weakest pitting I’ve seen in ages.
You’re pitting the wrong person. In the thread in question, twickster said:
Fact? FACT!!??
That’s is a 55 gallon drum of industrial strength ignorance right there. It’s not a mutha-fuckin FACT, and Equipoise took the time to point out the FACT that there are more movies playing at theater right at this moment that aren’t “sequels, prequels, and franchises” than are. That is a FACT. If you can’t be bothered to actually look at the movie listings yourself to see something good, interesting and original, at least give some small amount of credence to the person who points out ignorance on a board supposedly dedicated to fighting it.
Also “movie snob”. Seriously? Equipoise is a person who sees a lot of movies. A “movie snob” only sees the “right” movies. Her list included Sasha Baron-Cohen’s The Dictator for fuck’s sake! That is hardly the list of a “snob”, but of someone who sees a whole shitload of movies.
If I’m not mistaken, Equipoise listed only movies playing this week in twickster’s location of Philadelphia. Looking at the posters in that link, she didn’t list half of the films available to twickster.
Depending on where you live and how far you’re willing to drive (or be driven), it may as well be a fact, or at least seem like one. The only theater in reasonable walking distance of my home currently shows eleven films: one is an adaptation of a fairy tale (Snow White and the Huntsman); three are sequels or prequels (Madagascar 3, Men in Black 3, Prometheus); three are based on currently extent franchises (The Avengers, Battleship, The Smurfs).
That leaves What to Expect When You’re Expecting, The Dictator, Chernobyl Diaries, and Think Like a Man. All of these films are panned and only one, s’far as I can tell, is even passably a good movie (The Dictator). So, eh. I can’t raise too much ire when someone complains about how the local theaters are overcrowded with sequels and franchises. Not everyone’s a movie buff with a local independent theater already keyed into her GPS, if one even exists.
Since when is walking distance the criteria?
Twickster’s location is Philadelphia, which isn’t that much less cosmopolitan than Equipoise’s location of Chicago. Both are cities with public transit systems and a number of theaters showing a variety of films. I don’t know Twickster’s zip code, but I’m quite confident that there are non-sequel options in a theater within a reasonable distance.
Are we going to have to revive the “not intended to be a factual statement” meme?
