Inspired by this but you’re hardly the only offender on the boards. Hell, if one wanted to delve deeply enough into my own posting history one might find something similar, although not, I don’t think, quite this big or steaming a dump.
The thread is about possible casting choices for a particular movie. It’s not about the merits of the particular movie, it’s not about whether there have been too many such films and it’s not about the quality of such movies. Obviously you have no interest in who gets cast in the part because you clearly hate the very idea of making the movie at all. So instead of taking a gigantic, steaming, corn-filled shit all over the thread, why not just stay the fuck out? If you absolutely must empty your rhetorical bowels on the topic, maybe you could at least do so in the thread that’s somewhat on the subject instead of reeking up a thread where your comments don’t belong.
You’re certainly not the only person to post such a thing. As I said, I think I may have made that contrarion sort of post myself but without the same level of vitriol. So I’m not singling you out in particular, beyond the fact that it was your post that was the proverbial straw. It’s rude and unnecessary and the board would IMHO be better off without it.
I really wish there was some sort of a rule about threadshitting in CS, but I’m honestly not sure if it would be workable. Although this is a pretty clear instance of someone acting like an ass, it seems likely that such a rule would threaten to quash legitimate debate about the quality of a movie/book/whatever. As annoying as this crap is, looks like it’s the sort of thing we just have to live with.
As an aside, brain, they’re not making the TV show into a movie, they’re making the comic book into the movie. I don’t know if this makes the idea any more platable for you, nor do I particularly care. But if you’re going to be a pissy little brat about this film, at least be a pissy little brat for the right reason.
Yes, please! I love CS, and I just want to discuss stuff, not have someone come in there and shit all over it. I avoid the threads abotu stuff I don’t like. I’ve got self-control. Why can’t other people?
I don’t know. There are a few rare cases where I can see doing it. Sometimes the answer to “which actress should play the lead in this movie” is “no one, because the movie shouldn’t be made.” Sometimes the answer is Angie Harmon.
Anyway, using that thread to bang the same old garbage can lid about movie remakes is just being a jerk. I agree there are way too many remakes, but that doesn’t mean that every one is bad. It also doesn’t mean you have to get in every movie thread and repeat this. If you really feel the movie has no reason to exist you’ll have to have a better reason than a categorical dislike for its genre.
Well, like many other rules–“being a jerk” comes to mind–it would be at the judgment of the moderator. I think such a rule would be workable, and furthermore I think it would improve the CS experience. I think it would be worth trying at least, even if it proves unworkable and is abandoned later.
The Wonder Woman thread was the proverbial straw on my end of things. I apologize for shitting in your thread. I didn’t really have any inclination to search for a more appropriate home for my tangential opinion, but perhaps in the future I will.
