Sort of an Antithesis of SpaceSweeper's Thread. ;D
So, as the topic title says, what do you find seriously overrated? Something that is very successful but in your opinion doesn't merit to be so, et cetera.
Discuss! :D
Inb4 someone talks about Avatar
The Dark Knight. I felt that Batman Begins did everything better.
Grunge in general. Might sound like blasphemy to alot of people but I think Nirvana is one of the most over-rated bands in history. Sure they where talented but for me the end result was a bit crap.
The Call of Duty series, nothing special there.

Quentin Tarantino
I would somewhat agree. He's very hit and miss, yet even his misses seem to get acclaimed. I loved Inglorious Basterds but i didnt care much for Death Proof and Kill Bill was massively overrated. I watched both Kill Bill movies once and ive never wanted to watch them again.
Dont know if you'd call it a kind of partnership (they have worked together alot throughout their careers) but I prefer Robert Rodriquez movies simply because he doesnt try too hard and they're unashamedly cheesy, over the top, daft, b-movie dialogue. Sometimes Tarantino tries to hard to achieve the same result. I feel RR does it without trying. Dusk Till Dawn, Desperado and Planet Terror are excellent examples. Just pure unapologetic madness, something Kill Bill tried to be, but felt too serious.

I dont think Ledgers performance was overrated at all. Infact as a result of the hype i think alot of people just want to think that. Now im not saying Shavsre is one of them because its your opinion and i respect that but i think theres alot of people who just say it for the sake of being controversial. While i agree somewhat with people who say Begins was better i think Begins is massively underrated compared to The Dark Knight.
Personally i think weve been lucky with the 3 main incarnations of the Joker onscreen. Nicholsons was perfect for Burtons Batman as was Ledger for Nolans. For me though Hamills joker takes the biscuit. He was excellent, and when i imagine the joker, his voice is the one to come into my head.

I never got the appeal of Halo either. Played the first game after all the hype and how "this is the future of shooters" etc etc and i was bored shitless by the end. Most FPS are repetitive obviously but for me Halo is one of the worst. And The Flood where annoying as holy hell. Then they went and did something that really pissed me off. You didnt get to see the real ending unless you beat it on the hardest difficulty? What so ive paid for the game but because Im not as good at it as others, I dont get to see what ive paid for. f**k right off. Lets just say I never played a Halo game ever again. Definately the most overrated game series of all time IMO.

Don't get me wrong, I think the transformation Ledger went through when he became the Joker was excellent. I never thought of him as Heath Ledger when I was watching the movie. Had I not known it before I saw it I would never have guessed it was him.
With that being said, I didn't like the Joker character in The Dark Knight. I didn't like his looks, the way he talked or the way he constantly smacked his lips while doing it. His make-up didn't look like a smile and I want my Joker to look insanly happy, like he does in the comics.
I saw the movie on the premiere day, before the whole hype started and I didn't like his performance then either. It just annoys me every time I watch the movie. :-\

Bioshock is brilliant at what it does; the issue is when reviewers advertise it as something else. It was a fun, atmospheric, linear FPS that told a mediocre story with lots of class and tension.
I have an interpretation of Twilight wherein all the major characters are suffering from severe mental trauma that prevents them from leading normal, functional lives. Makes the plot a lot more interesting.
Doesn't help the writing, though.

you're going to tell me Kill Bill, Hostel, and Inglorious Basterds weren't blood fests?
Inglorious Basterds wasnt no. Sure when it gets violent it doesnt skimp but theres actually very few scenes like that in the movie. Its more of a long drawn out story with alot of dialogue to build everything up. And Hostel wasnt a Tarantino movie he just lent his name to his friend Eli roth to kinda give the movie a push. Kinda the same way Peter Jacksons name cropped up with District 9 even though he didnt actually have much to do with the movie.
and as for kill bill that was deliberate and done in a cartoony way on purpose to make it daft. And despite its premise Deathproof only has one gory scene lasting about 2 minutes in a near 2 hour movie. The only movie that was a blood fest for the sake of it directed by tarantino was Kill Bill. Sure others have violence in them but they are never the focus the way it is in kill bill and they are never as cartoony and over the top.
Quoteyou're going to tell me Kill Bill, Hostel, and Inglorious Basterds weren't blood fests?
Kill Bill was dopey and had lots of blood.
Hostel is a Eli Roth flick - not Tarantino.
Inglorious Basterds - no, not that I can remember. There were a couple of bits that were bloody, but it's a long way from a blood fest.
Besides my point was, Pulp Fiction is far and away his best film so best watch that before passing judgement on his ability to spin a good yarn. In recent times he has however seriously lost his mojo and wallowed in self indulgent twaddle like Kill Bill and Deathproof. Inglorious Basterds, while still a long way from his best, suggests he may be finally be starting to get back on track.
Damn it, I just realized; I meant The Descent, not Hostel.
Not a Tarantino flick either.
Quote from: DoomRulz on Apr 07, 2010, 01:04:01 AMDamn it, I just realized; I meant The Descent, not Hostel.

Jackie Brown isn't a bloody movie either.
Quote from: SM on Apr 07, 2010, 01:08:37 AM

Hm...I swear, I remember Tarantino was involved with a horror film in the early part of either 08 or 09. And it was bloody.
Yeah he was involved with Hostel like Keg said. And Hell Ride. But they aren't Tarantino directed flicks.
Eh, I still hold him to the fact that Hostel was so damn gory.
Was it cartoon gore like Kill Bill?
Cos I'm pretty sure Hostel is wall-to-wall Roth.
Indeed. Tarantino had little to do with the amount of gore.
And his movies generally aren't terribly gory. Bloody and violent from time to time, but I wouldn't call them gory like Saw or Hostel (at least what I've seen of Hostel).
He just puts me off that way. I wouldn't mind seeing Pulp Fiction, but I guess what I meant was, he loves violence too much for my tastes. Maybe not gore, but violence definitely. Why does the guy have to be so aggressive? It's not needed.
Umm... he makes movies. They're not real.
You could level the same accusation at Peter Jackson or Wes Craven. Or even Kubrick. And it still wouldn't really hold much water.
It just makes me dislike his films. That's all. Kubrick, I'd say the same thing but his films, I don't know; they still interest me because of his way of filming something. He's a real perfectionist. Er, was.
Peter Jackson? As in, LotR Peter Jackson?? I wouldn't say that.
Go watch Bad Taste, Meet The Feebles and Braindead and then get back to me.
Maybe I will.

Predator 2 is just bloody bad.
Except when society keeps trying to push those things in your face, and the mindless robotic youth become obsessed with such things.
Anyway, I was being facetious while tacking on a movie quote. There's no way on earth I'd attempt to keep track of things I dislike because they're overrated. I just posted things that have annoyed me in recent days.
When people ignore the many myriad and obvious flaws, rather than appreciating it in spite of the flaws - it's over-rated.
Plus there are some who will say they like it because they think it's fashionable to do so, while bashing Aliens.
QuoteExcept when society keeps trying to push those things in your face, and the mindless robotic youth become obsessed with such things.
Why do you care? Especially since we were all mindless robots at some point.

Go to the
Predator board. That's essentially what happens.
Do I have to? Can't I just take your word for it?
Why shouldn't I be annoyed? I'm surrounded by friends who do not understand how I could dislike certain music or movies because they all have the mindset of "It's so popular, it must be good," and it gets to me at times that they've been so indoctrinated by popular media that they've turned themselves into zombies who are told what to like and when, rather than putting time and research into discovering who they are and what the like.
Someone asked me what I was listening to the other day, I said "Mozart" they said "Who?" I sh*t you not, I asked who they listened to, "Linkin Park" and "Hollywood Undead" was the response. It was so predictable and that's wherein the problem lies for me. I swear, if they have a reason for liking, I don't care; but when I see someone following the crowd, I feel heavy hearted for the all the creativity the would be lost if everyone was a zombie of what's popular.
QuoteWhy shouldn't I be annoyed?
Because it's a complete and utter waste of your time and energy.

QuoteI'm no saint, just a fan of individualism.
Doesn't really explain why you get annoyed at what other people like. You don't have any power over them to change their opinions so accept them and move on.
I doubt I could live life if I wasn't able to accept other people's opinions, especially those of people so involved in my life. It's just an annoyance, in regular conversation, to talk to someone who cannot present one reason for liking something or someone, besides "It's cool." You've honestly never had this problem? I envy you!
Of course I've had that problem. But not for a very long time. Sometimes people just dig stuff without rhyme or reason. They just like it. And other stuff they don't like. If they can't articulate why, you getting annoyed isn't going to change it.
I think SM's point is that getting pissed at the perceptions of others is often wasted energy.
Much better to develop your own opinion, open your mind and try to understand the opinions of others. I hate shitty corporate rock as much as you, but a lot of people don't see music as an artistic experience - they see it as entertainment. And if that works for them, it's absolutely fine. For the most part, it has no impact on my own enjoyment of music.
That's the truth. I believe this all started by my own misinterpretation of SM's post as something it wasn't, then responding facetiously.
In short, I think it's hard not to care. It would be inhuman not to wonder why other people think a certain way, as SM did when it came to my thoughts on the zombie-like culture of today. But on a message board, when asked to list something, where as I really don't that comments like SM's are unwarranted, I just think it may have been a bit out of place in a thread such as this where people are being asked, essentially, to list what bugs them because it's popular.
Forgot to state that Family Guy is also overrated as hell.
Oh f**k yes!
and heres another thing to bring up in this thread. Accepting something is overrated doesnt mean you dont like it. I love Family Guy and i cant get enough of it, but i definately think its overrated. Its my kind of humor thats all, but it aint original, it aint groundbreaking, it isnt anywhere near as taboo breaking as people claim it to be. Overrated in every sense of the word.

That's a rumor,Toriyama admits he made up the story as he went along.
Yep that's a rumor was proven flase. He had plans to finish the story later on, and Gero was going to be the main villain for the Cell saga before that was scrap from his editors.
I think DBZ after the Freeza saga is overrated since it seems like they try to focus on one character, and try to rush everything into one. Don't get me started on GT ::).

I don't recall Gero was ever going to be the final villain I do know that he intended 19 and Gero to be the androids but people complained about one looking old and the other fat. Thus he made 18 and 17. Anyhow I'd rather they end at the cell games saga to tie up all the lose ends. The buu saga just went everywhere in my opinion and is my least favorite arc.

Inuyasha was great until the Band of Seven arc ended then it got so boring, the movies where good though. Bleach was good before the SS arc ended.
I'm sure someone else has mentioned him, but it's worth repeating: in response to the topic:
James Cameron

I acutally disagree on the DBZ issue of it being overrated after the Frieza sage. Cell is without a doubt one of the coolest villains ever.
I think that most TV shows now are overrated.
Well speaking of DBZ, I think Goku is overrated since I feel like he hog everything after the Cell saga. GT made him into a jobber, and Gotenks or Gohan should have killed Buu.

I don't care for Bleach ;D I meant Death Note and Inuyasha. Curious how I'm still at the Band of Seven arc. After those episodes MTV (my only source) stopped them. :-\

Star Wars: Force Unleashed isnt over-rated. Most people dislike it along with alot of reviews for being buggy as hell.
Kings of Leon are a strange one. For most of their career I always thought they where underrated. Then all of a sudden they change direction and go from shit kicking basic rock n roll (which was alot of fun) to slow burning epic stadium rock and all of a sudden the whole of the UK's gone mad for them claiming them to be the best band for years etc etc. Half of em not even realising they had 3 previous albums which where all miles better than that shit they gave us on their fourth album. They pissed me right off at Leeds last year because when they played their older stuff like Red Morning Light, The Bucket, Four Kicks, Pistol Of Fire etc they slowed em all down to match the pace of their newer stuff. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat....dicks

I love that that film also. The thing about it is, that it was made during the 90's when action movies were at their height, so I think some audiences didn't get that it was parodying itself and action movies because of the time it was made. Its easy to look back now and see what the film is, to be honest I think Last Action Hero was a film ahead of its time.

Family Guy will become the new prime cartoon. You'll see. With South Park ending and Simpsons waning, it's inevitable.
I'll still never watch it. I hate it and it's lowest common denominator approach to comedy.
You mean the whole "We can't write many gags without pop culture references, so lets flog the ones we can write to death" thing?
Pretty much, yeah. The thing that I liked about The Simpsons, South Park, and Seinfeld were that the jokes weren't just thrown in; they actually had something to do with the plot of each episode. They also sometimes worked on several levels.
That's why I like Family Guy. The random references are unique to the show and while they can be silly, they're still funny and in some cases, clever and well-placed.
I find them to generally be unfunny non-sequiturs.
And the first Star Wars parody they did was an utterly self indulgent wankfest they forgot to write jokes for.
The second was worse. It took jokes from the movie and then managed to make them no longer funny.
I love family guy. It aint pretending to be something its not so when people complain the jokes have nothing to do with the story, or that its just toilet humour etc etc blah blah it doesnt bother me at all because I find it funny. If it makes me laugh i couldnt care less. And the second star wras parody had me rolling with laughter. The scene with the walker on Hoth holding its knee in pain cracked me right up.
I essentially see Family Guy as the same kind of humour as Monty Python. It thrives on the unexpected.
well its just basic. a kid could write it. think of a daft plot and then write absurd jokes and come up with a comment that allows you to cut to this joke. If it gets a laugh out of me i dont care. The Simpons on the other hand, i enjoy but i just dont find it funny at all. Futurama always had me in kinks but the simpsons never did even 10 years ago.
Honesty love Family Guy.

"Family Guy" is meant more for the 40+ crowd. Most of the gags are based on '70s references, which make geezers like me (and Seth MacFarlane) smile when we see them.

The difference is, Monty Python was sketch comedy, where those sorts of jokes belong. Family Guy is a sit-com. Monty Python is also infinitely better.
Family guy is 70% lame jokes, 10% fart jokes, 15% lame story, and 5% well done jokes.
i stopped watching it when they stopped trying to be clever or at least a little subtle.

I was going to comment that the humor in family guy belongs more in a sketch show, its more typical of random bursts of madness than something structured. But why is it bad to combine the two. The short plots are the excuse to bring in the sketches (cutaways whatever you wanna call them) and mix it with the two. Why does there have to be a line dictating what should and shouldnt be in a comedy.
While i agree its overrated that doesnt mean i dont like it. I think some fans of family guy will not accept any critiscm of it and they bang on like tis the best thing in the world endlessy quoting quagmire etc etc. I on the other hand mostly agree with everybodies comments about it, yet i still find it funny so i watch it. It makes me roll with laughter at times and even though i know its crap, immature, repetitive it still keeps me laughing and its one my favourite comedies to watch along with Flight of the Conchords, Fawlty Towers, I'm Alan Partridge, Spaced, Operation Good Guys and The Young Ones.

My biggest issue with "Family Guy" is having to wade through all the crap in order to get to the good jokes, which are there, but few and far between.
My only issue with the "Family Guy" decriers is that they're too young to appreciate the cultural references. I didn't say that they don't understand them; they just can't connect to them.
I agree, I myself have at least educated myself in the years before my birth, and since I love the 80's, I understand most if not all the references Family Guy puts out since they're all practically 80's references.

You might have missed some, as I've spotted quite a few '70s references. MacFarlane and I are roughly the same age and grew up with the same movies, TV shows and music.

I can hear the voices in the heads of some of the users here: "Well, if I have to look up every 'Family Guy' gag there is, what's the point? I'll just lie and say I already got the jokes but didn't think that they were funny. Yeah! That's what I'll do!"
Those references and humor are the reasons I continue to watch the show. Like I said, I wish they didn't mix it in with such low humor. There's a fair balance.

There is some truth to the notion though that some of the gags aren't that easy to understand. Even if I look up an episode synopsis, it doesn't always explain the gag(s) which is frustrating.

I get most of, if not all the gags on see on Family Guy. They're still mostly not funny. For reasons beyond me they use the SNL style of humour that take something that might have been an interesting idea, but beat it beyond all recognition.
And comparing it to Python is heresy if you ask me. It'd have to be consistently funny and not constantly overstay it's welcome to be even in the same sport as Python. Robot Chicken is closer to Python than Family Guy...

And the theme tune on the original was infinitely more epic.
I've never been at more of a loss for words. Okay, I have, but this is just mind crushing for me! I don't have the patience or motivation to write a whole write-up ('cause that's what it would take) to argue at the moment. But boringly dour characters? It's all about character development, and you need to be following it to really see that. If you watch one episode, without further explanation on who the characters are, that will be all you know about them. But if you had watched from their first on-screen appearance, to which ever episode(s) you had been watching, it would be clear that the characters are almost anything but boring. Original any day? Two words: Gaius Baltar.
But really, an opinion is an opinion, so who am I to get my panties in a bunch over yours? Sorry if I came across as a bit arrogant (or a lot).

I watched a few episodes trying to get into it - it was boring. If they spend long amounts of time being boring why would I care if the end up being interesting 20 or 30 hours later? Complete waste of time. The original may be naive and cheezy, but it had a charm the remake lacked utterly.

But see, the
reimagining (I refuse to call it a remake) didn't need the 'charm' of the original because the reimagining is completely different. It makes small references to the original, and shares some of the same names, yes, but that is just to keep the title of the show from leaving the name
entirely. I wouldn't say that it lacks charm either- I'm not sure with episiodes you watched, but it is definately in there.
The reimagined Battlestar Galactica is so much more than the original, and kept the name(s) only for recognition. The show wasn't actually made for fans of the original, it was made for people who wanted to see a great science fiction show, with outstanding drama, and a deep plot. It is actually a lot like
Children of Men in that regard- very dramatic, and dark science fiction in a believable and human manner.
Battlestar Galactica wasn't meant to carry on any traditions of the original. It is a complete departure from anything you knew previously about the 70's series, and made into a series of it's own with immense originality.
If I could sum up what I'm trying to express in a couple of episodes, I would ask you to watch Occupation, Precipice, and Exodus Part 1&2. They are all one plotline, and all
so not the original series.
I don't know why I feel the need to defend it so much, but it is just needed to be said.
I don't know why you feel the need either.

Sean Penn. Only movie besides Bill and Ted I like him in is "Mystic River." Oh, he wasn't in The Bill and Ted movies? OK, then I just like him in the one, even then I think I like the movie in spite of Penn, not because of him.

^The power I crave.
I watched a few episodes trying to get into it - it was boring. If they spend long amounts of time being boring why would I care if the end up being interesting 20 or 30 hours later? Complete waste of time. The original may be naive and cheezy, but it had a charm the remake lacked utterly.
This I agree with. I could watch the original series over and over, but I never got into the new one. They're just two totally different shows. Shame.
The New Battlestar Galactica was really stupid IMO. It felt like they were trying too hard to be superhardcore. Love the original though {yet it's also kind of overrated too if you think about it}
I don't think it tried to be that at all, at least from the first season, which is the only one I've watched. You really feel for the characters, and really get immersed in the story of the show. I can't imagine what it would've been like having to wait a week for the conclusion to the nail-biting cliffhangers that they had!
Stargate Universe
I miss Jackson, O'Neil, Carter, Sheppard, McKay, Terra. :'(
I stopped watching after Richarf Dean Anderson left the show--it just wasn't the same show that I grew up watching, after being awed by the film.
I never thought the series was a patch on the film. Just seemed like "Which old Earth culture planet are we visiting this week?"
It was just that. I watched Stargate when I was very young, then right after the film there was SG1, which, back then, was more exciting to me than the film. It's the other way around now; I have fond memories of both.
Star Trek Enterprise. Granted it didn't last for too long, but some fans really hyped it up and claimed it was just as good as the other series. Pfft.

I thought Ben Browder did a pretty good job. I was familiar with his work on Farscape, so that helped. The show was almost like Star Trek but with feet. Rather than expiloring new worlds in a ship. And it was shame that Stargate Atlantis only got 5 seasons. :'(
Universe just seems too depressing. It doesn't have those characters to lighten the mood at times.

Twice in 2009, once in 2010.
Did the warranty cover it?
Well, the first time it did, but that was pretty much the beginning of 2009, and the second time in that year, it sort of... well, resolved itself after about a month. Now, however, the warranty is over, so I'm not sure what to do with it. I think I'm going to just pick up a Memorex Laser cleaner (it worked for a couple of my friends with the same problem), and hope that works.

I'm having that indeed. He's won countless comedy awards, managed to blag his way into hollywood movies (playing characters that are essentially himself) and now hes gone and bagged the delectable Katy Perry.
How? He's not funny, he cant act and he's a skinny, scruffy looking tramp. Most importantly he's a comedian who isnt remotely funny. His stand up is shockingly shit. Well I suppose he must be good because people obviously do like him. But he's one of those people you cant understand how he's so popular because you never meet somebody who does like him. Infact most people you speak to can't stand him. Who are these Brand fans and where are they?
I'm a fan of his.
Finally ive found one. I dont get his brand (drum roll) of stand up humour at all i must admit.
I saw just one stand up show of Russel Brand, and he's f**king hilarious. Don't see why all the hate (generally speaking)
He's hit and miss for me.

Im with Sil here. Gervais annoys the f**k out of me. He's a smug git who isnt as funny as he thinks he is. I suppose both Gervais and Brand are the marmites of comedy. Their styles of comedy and their personalities and who they are means people either love them or hate them.
Keg, is that you? Where did Hudson end up? :P
Felt like a change. I just picked Hudson randomly and quickly when I joined. Then a discussion I had about Shane Black made me realise he's gotta go in.
I love Gervais; he always makes me laugh. The Office wouldn't have been the same without him and The Invention of Lying was a great flick.
I watched the Invention of Lying and thought it was terrible.
Why?
I liked it a lot.
I will add this to my list of overrated things: Metallica's self-titled release album. Way, way, way overrated.
Quote from: DoomRulz on Apr 18, 2010, 04:49:46 PM
Why?
I didnt find it a big enough departure away from what Gervais has been doing all his career and considering I never liked his style of comedy and the fact he always seems to play the same character meant I didnt find much to enjoy. There was some cracking little jokes in there though. The Pepsi add on the side of the bus had me laughing for ages but on the whole I just didnt enjoy it.
The only thing that bugged me about TIoL was that there were several cameos from A-list actors and they shouldn't have been in there in the first place. Seriously, Jason Bateman as a doctor on-screen for like, 2 scenes? Really?
Why should a cameo bug you though. does it matter wether or not a very minor character is played by somebody famous or not. Although i suppose it does sometimes take you out of the film when theres a big "oh look who it is" moment and then suddenly theyre gone.

most people in general hated it too. sure it made a ton of money at the box office. i went to see it, but doesnt mean i liked it. transformers 2 is panned by the majority of people who went to see it after enjoying the first film. Dont take stupid kids and the blank minded sponges into it because they'll always be there to claim pieces of crap are brilliant. A daft, horny, excitable kid proclaiming Transformers 2 was the best thing he'd ever seen doesnt make it overrated. You get kids exclaiming AVPR was brilliant and there aint nobody can claim thats overrated is there.

So youre beef is that its a pointless waste of talent/screen presence? Fair enough. Sometimes they work I suppose. Kevin Smiths films are all full of cameos but theyre usually really funny and work well for the film.
Not saying they don't work but I think that for such a small role, someone non-descript should've been utilized instead.

I know what you mean by that. Sometimes a small cameo is still important to the film in some way but if its literally something mundane with a few spoken lines of no relevance it's pointless. And it breaks the heart of all those extras who could have done it for a fraction of the price and possibly got their 15 minutes of fame. Poor buggers.

Ugh.
It's a reconception of the character.
IN all honesty the design in the first picture wouldn't have worked in the film at all.
Why not?
Just compare with any of the other in-movie designs:

Compared to Megatron, or Optimus, or whatever you want, it's too blocky.
Why did they change those in the first place? They're robots; they're not supposed to look more human like Bay wanted. I didn't mind those changes at all, though. And it doesn't justify bastardizing Devastator anyway; they could have still made him a biped.
Honestly they fit more in a more realistic environment. Let's face it - you won't see Cars divide by blocks and reveal heads and limbs. Just no. You'd see mechanisms and all that stuff, which the movie TFs do.
I love the robot designs in the movies but hate the films themselves. The scene in the first one when the Autobots are sneaking around the yard is so damn stupid I nearly turned it off.

The Transformers in their robot form - apart from Optimus - are just stupidly overcomplicated making them generally unrecognisable. Okay maybe not Bumblebee, but the rest - rubbish. Great animation and compositing - horrible design.

I honestly don't see why everyone seems to hate the robot designs:/ It's meant to be more realistic, if robots like that existed and could take the shape of basically anything it wanted then it would probably look something like what wee see in the films. The original designs would never have worked in a movie from the 21st century, Take Megatron for example how stupid wouldn't that be a giant killer robot who transforms into a gun that can mystically reduce his mass so that he can fit into a humans hand :o it would never have worked
What you mean like how the cube mystically reduces its mass so it can fit in a humans hands when it starts off the size of a house?

That's not the same thing, The Allspak is a mystical raw power, Megatron however is just a Decepticon, But then again The Fallen has some strange powers
Then again, the AS reduces itself just by entering small cubes in others - Megatron shrinks himself just like you see it, no mechanism whatsoever.

The Allspark still reduces in size by some form of unknown power though, mechanical or not, thats simply not possible for a mass of that size to fold in on itself by any means that our science understands. It's still a fantasy element but yeah it would be stupid if Megatron could do that, the Allspark was a suspension of belief, something we cannot comprehend but if Megatron could do it, it would of been too daft.

I honestly don't see why everyone seems to hate the robot designs:/ It's meant to be more realistic, if robots like that existed and could take the shape of basically anything it wanted then it would probably look something like what wee see in the films. The original designs would never have worked in a movie from the 21st century, Take Megatron for example how stupid wouldn't that be a giant killer robot who transforms into a gun that can mystically reduce his mass so that he can fit into a humans hand :o it would never have worked
Because some of them, especially in Megatron's case, looked like pointy-edged, two-legged machines with voices, as opposed to actual robots like they originally did. Like SM said, Prime and Bumblebee are the only people will universally recognize; in Bee's case, because of his colour. Everyone else is a total stranger.

Megatron would have to bee a very small Robot indeed if he did transform into a gun:P cause that mass shrinking thing would not have worked on screen, at least not on a live action movie.
The movie 9. Seriously, it wasn't that good. It was okay, but nothing to be proud of.
I loved it. But it was one of them little treats i knew nothing about. I hadnt seen a trailer, i had no preconceptions what so ever, i didnt know it was based on a short film. I knew nothing about it and so when i watched it, i loved it. Its so simple, yet so effective. I dont know it'll hold up with repeat viewings though because that inital surprise is now gone and i might start to see it as something else. hopefully not because i thought it was great.
I loved the Oddworld games and it reminded me of those.

Just any sort of gun. That's his thing. He is supposed to be a robot in disguise after all.

Megatron was never hand-held to the size a human could wield. Re-watch the cartoon; the gun was huge.
So make him a cannon then.

The Alien Queen.
I actually like the Alien Queen:) She was a nice addition to the series. In fact one of the things that always has bugged me with Alien is where did those eggs come from, and Cameron's Queen answers that question
Egg-morphing as a more alien way of doing things and fit better, in my mind.
That said, I don't hate the Queen. She's not a bad concept, and down downright cool in Aliens, but I think a lot of people put too much stock in her intelligence, power and influence.

The way i see it Egg-morphing is kind of a last resort for the Alien. I agree it's more Alien and strange somewhat scary but i enjoy the Queen concept better:)

Then that's an inconsistency, adjusted for the cartoon's convenience. Every other time he was a huge gun which only other Decepticons could wield.

That doesn't really matter cause he still reduces hiss mass by more than half his size. It would have been much more believable if he just transformed into a big stationary gun, like Shockblast for example
That's Shockwave. And if that's the case, they could have adjusted that for the movie.
Megatron transforms into a tank in TF2 like in a couple of the series... be happy ;D
When did he transform into a tank?
In the Forest Battle.
This just proves that one couldn't see shit in that movie.
Thats MTV editing for ya. The one thing I hated about the two movies was that whenever two robots got close enough for a one on one brawl the screen becomes a moving mess of metal and you cant tell what the hell is going on or who's who. Or at least I couldnt the first few times I saw them. Having to watch an action scene several times and pay as much attention as if you where crash landing a jumbo jet full of passengers to get the jist is terrible.
I hate that. Why do directors insist on always doing that?
No idea. Some films are terrible for it. One things for sure, in Transformers case, it certainly isnt to hide cheap effects or disguise anything. At least in a budget movie that may be the case. As much as I loved The Chronicles of Riddick it was terrible for exactly that. Most of the fight scenes where a jumbled mess and you couldnt tell what the hell was going on. The directors cut was alot better for some of fight scenes (notably the one near the end of the film, where the prisoners fight the necromongers near the hangar)
The AvP films also had that problem. Even Gladiator did.
Countless films do. The shaky thing is used far too much as well. I dont mean in video-cam style movies either. Sometimes in action scenes the camera will swing wildly or shake etc. Some movies use it brilliantly to make you feel a part of the scene but others just slap it in everywhere without using it properly and its horrible.
When you get a mixture of the wobbly camera thing done badly, along with the fast editing, it becomes an utter mess.
I love keg's signature.
avpr has that problem i mean all scens are in dark (sewer) or at night plus its raining
I already said that.

i concede that as a game it is not bad, and i did mean pro football/football as a spectator sport in my orig post,
American Football is the most overrated sport ever. Ive given it a chance time and time again, learned the rules so i could understand whats going on and it still bores the tits off me. Its like watching Rugby where the game keeps getting stopped every minute or two. Now i know its a game that focuses heavily on tactics and theres a hell of alot more to it than just tackling people and running with the ball, but its boring as f**k to watch. I respect the guys that play it though because its a hard sport and its a bit like cricket in that theres alot to take in tactic wise that you just dont get with football, rugby etc but like i said its bloody boring.
Meh, I'm a big football fan. Finding it hard to watch lately though.
Halo was a great shout.
Quite like Modern Warfare 2 tho.
Wait.. rugby and american football ain't the same thing?
Spoiler
;D Jokin'.
Nah American Footballers wear helmets and padding. Rugby players dont need protection coz theyre all hard as f**k.
:P Joking of course. I know American footballers wear it because the tackles they are allowed to make are much more brutal than whats allowed in Rugby. Still wouldnt want some f**ker like Jonah Lomu or that big french bastard that looks like Jesus on roids (forget his name) running towards me.

Depends where you live. It's the third most popular 'football' in Australia, so probably not that over-rated. I don't mind watching World Cup games or the odd EPL match, but otherwise it can be a tad dull.
something thats always bugged me about American football is the name. You barely kick the ball with your feet. Most of the game is spent running with it in your hands like rugby. Its like calling football (soccer), handball. Americans ::)

I know, right ? Not even really a "ball" either.
Not to mention the fact that they wear more body armour than a regular soldier and stop the game every time someone is tackled. It's really just Rugby for pussies.

Remember when "soccer" was popular for a liitle while in America ? They wanted to give goalkeepers crash helmets. ;D

Yeah. That was David Busst. Eduardo's and Ramseys are barely anything compared to his. Wenger just doesnt include enough calcium in their diets.

Back on topic however. The whole Halo series. Whilst they are fun games and the MP with friends is always a blast, its not as great as a lot of its fans seem to think it is. Bear in mind, i'll still be getting Reach. Only because of the local mp though.
Agreed but Reach looks good

Anyway, overrated, the Call of Duty series. I respect that a lot of people enjoy playing it and I'm fine with that, but I can't stand it. I find it incredibly dull. I prefer Halo because it's brighter and more imaginative, whereas I know Call of Duty draws somewhat from real events but I still find it mind numbingly boring. Halo is sci-fi and that's what I'm interested in, I know a whole lot of people think Halo is overrated but I think that Halo 3 is the best game I've ever played. Custom Games with my younger siblings are so much fun and there's huge replayability with Matchmaking and endless custom games and player generated maps created using the Forge.

Boderlands does have some serious win.
Indeed it does.
Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Medal of Honor (original), Medal Of Honor: Frontline, Far Cry Instincts, Crysis, AVP2, Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, Goldeneye, Republic Commando, Killzone 2, Red Faction. All FPS games that i personally enjoyed more than Modern Warfare.
No offence to anyone but mw is a casual gamers heaven but to gamers nooby.
COD games are very good but theyre not the be all and end all that alot of people claim them to be. Usually its casual gamers who only play FIFA or mess about on the Wii that try to tell you COD has the best graphics and gameplay you'll ever see. I tend to ignore them and if they still bleat on trying to convince me I just refer them to Crysis, Uncharted 2, MGS4, Killzone 2. If they still think COD is the best game ever i just slap them.
COD is the equivalent in gaming to a band like Oasis in music. Aparrently you must love them and treat them as gods of the music industry, when theyre actually quite medicore and have nothing special about them.
^^ Yep but most cod gamers I meat don't talk about graphics but killstreaks and perks and stuff.
Same, people at my school won't stop talking about their level, how many times they have prestiged and all that shit. Can't stand it.
Same I would prefer them talk about red dead redemption.
Hmm.
Oh! I totally skinned a grizzly bear today! It was awesome.
But in all seriousness, RDR really does look like the kind of game that will provide the kind of unforgettable experiences very few games can manage.
Yer that sort of thing. ;D and yer I think people should talk about other things than cod.
I've yet to see a single one that was better than MW2. Oh, taste, where art thou?
Says a COD fan there shallow games try games like mass effect assasins creed and others to find a game worthy of that comment.

Sure, Goldeneye has dated since 1997; but it offers a kind of varied, tactical gameplay that most FPSs these days can only hope to live up to. And that includes Modern Warfare.

This guy likes good games. Also add borderlands and maybe bad company 2 (if it dates well) and you have a near perfect list
and add Escape From Butcher Bay on there too. One of the best single player FPS ive ever played. And the original Red Faction on PC.
Isn't that the riddik one ? and Red Fraction didn't really catch my attention.
If you want me to name other shooters I like okay. But you could have worded it better.
1: MW 2.
2: Battlefield 2 BC.
3: Half life 2.
4: Rainbow 6 :BA.

Its his opinion. I think COD4 and MW2 are excellent games, but I wouldnt put them anywhere near the top of a list of my favourite FPS neither would i say they are the best FPS games ever.
I am not saying he can't like them but there are a lot more games out there that have a lot more strength in depth than COD games(but I still like COD but not to the same extent as others)
To be honest I think the COD games are overrated as well. Good but not worthy of the orgasmic ''this is the greatest game evaaaaa'' crap some folk spew about it.
Agreed. COD bores me, and Halo is really fun! Too bad I'm missing Reach's beta due to 2 Red Rings. :'(
Its not my fav game, but my fav FPS.
I love the reaction/animation when shooting enemies. I cant stand games like Halo/Red Faction/Haze, where you shoot at a target all day (usually with a made up weapon), and it finally falls to the ground in a terrible manner.

Clearly one has never assasinated an enemy in mid air whilst boosting through a man cannon on Valhalla, nor has one ever smashed a Gravity Hammer onto an enemy's skull and watched in super-slow-mo, via Theater, the hilarity and awesomeness that is born.

Yeah, I'd agree with you on that. Still very fun, though.
Kind of feel the same but halo looks a lot more mindless action fun? which I would prefer to military boredom

Eh, still sold itself on being a gore fest IMO.
I always saw (ho ho) it as a study on the lengths people will go to given the choices they're presented with. Plus the moral ambiguity of characters you're supposed to root for - but all have questionable pasts (hence them being there in the first place). The gore was a kicker. It's not like Wan and Whannel invented gory movies.
But did have to be so graphic? I don't think so.
Did AvP:Poo have to show* and bunch of gore coming out of pregnant woman's belly? At least in Saw it had a context.
* - Relatively speaking of course.
Good point.
I don't remember if there were any similar gore fiestas just prior to Saw or that kickstarted the current trend or what, but I saw (did it again) it as Scream (which was something of a pisstake on slasher flicks) to I Know What You Did Last Summer (which missed the point of Scream and just rehashed old slasher flicks). Everything that came after Saw like Hostel et al, was I Know What You Did Last Summer.
What about Cannibal Holocaust and Last House on the Left?

Those flicks aren't current.

The most intense scene (removing the foot) is mostly done off-screen.
I always remembered it as super gorey, but on rewatching it I noticed just how incredibly tame it was. It's like the original
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - It got blasted for being overly bloody and violent, but there's hardly a drop of blood in the movie.
Huh, maybe I'll re-watch it then.

Aliens. Alien is so much better.
True, but Aliens is still pretty damn good.
Alien is a masterpiece, but I do think Aliens is better.
The thing about A2 is it ignores the depth that made the first one such a powerful movie. When you watch A2, for all its great elements, it's over when the credits roll. A1 isn't. There's a metric shitload of implicit, thematic content that makes the film work and makes it incredibly interesting in its own context.
As much as I appreciate guns, action scenes and monster fights, A2 doesn't have the sheer staying power of A1 for me.
I think that gave me diabetes.
Apologies.

...and that AlienS was much better!

I beg to differ. Alien is underrated in comparison to its sequel. At least when it comes to public perception.

I'm not sure, to be honest.
When it was first released in 1979, it was a major success. Not only was it a great movie, it set a new standard in body horror. People's minds were blown by that sort of thing. As much as the second film was perhaps even more of a success, I doubt it garnered the same kind of reputation.
As much as
Aliens was a brilliant action movie with more mass appeal than
Alien, it didn't take the risks that make
Alien the more relevant horror film.

Agreed..but...Alien was a movie ahead of its time ...in a good way...in terms of visuals, cinematography..etc...dont get me wrong..i'm not saying its a bad movie...it is just a bit overrated..

Same the ending was so annoying.
It felt rushed and mainly very unnecessary. It's just one of those IN YO FACE! type of endings (which I don't like at all)
It is the same ending as the book ?? and it does feel a bit rushed like The Departed's ending.
No. Ending of the book is very better. It goes like this:
Spoiler
David listens to a radio, and hears a word broadcast, "Hartford". He then begins again to drive, in a new light of hope
Does he hear it after or before
Spoiler
the shooty shooty bit
There is
Spoiler
no shooty shooty bit
Oh so what happens to the people in the car? (this is one of the only stephen king books I haven't read)
They go with David in what I described I think.

Well, alright then.
Firstly, I
do like the film a lot. A long time ago I stated on this forum that it was 'quintessential Arnie', and I stand by that. There are some great action sequences as well as a few pretty suspenseful moments, and the creature is great.
But.I watched it not long ago, and I couldn't help but begin to feel a little bored at points. It seems like for every action/suspense scene, there's about three where we're just trudging...
really slowly... through the jungle with Arghnult and co. And while there's nothing particularly wrong with the acting (I would in fact call Dutch one of Arnie's finest roles), the characters just aren't very engaging; and by that I mean that I don't really care for them that much, and they can't pull me into the film (err, so to type) and heighten the experience as a result.
I dunno, I guess it's just lost its effect over repeated viewings. Still great though.
I feel the opposite about the pacing. Predator has amazing pacing as far as my thoughts are concerned. Easily the best of any of the films we commonly discuss on this website.

Well, after many repeated views I didn't really get bored. I like that the characters are introduced by little pieces, and aren't that deep in general, it adds to the feeling of hunt for me. Some prey, which is worthy, but isn't exclusive. It's a good contradiction of Dutch's role in the end, and makes it memorable and exciting as hell. But characters aren't dull, so you can wish for their survival.
And the marching in the jungle, well, it's a matter of taste I think. I love jungles, so even that without any action could awe me. But there are much exciting moments I think, and in general the point is that theaction is accelerating towards the end.
But I think your opinion has a base, no matter I see it otherwise. Thanks for sharing it.
I understand. :)
And about pacing (MadassAlex), I've always thought the film was a little too slow. And on the other hand, I've always thought P2 was waaaaay too fast. :P
Maybe Predators will hit the sweet spot for me.
Quote from: OmegaZilla on May 09, 2010, 03:04:13 PM
Alien and Aliens?? :o
Alien's pacing is brilliant for what it is. I couldn't think of a better way to do it. But as far as a movie that's meant to be entertaining rather than balls-out frightening all the time goes,
Predator does it. The thing about
Alien is that it spends time -- needed time -- introducing us to a plausible future scenario, explaining a new world to us. And it builds tension and fascination while doing that.
Predator isn't restrained by that sort of requirement. It can throw you into the action, because you know how our planet works, you know how our social systems work, you know how our technology works.
Aliens has brilliant pacing when it comes Ripley leaving Gateway onward, perhaps apart from a few Director's Cut additions that damage it a little. The introduction and all that is all brilliant the first twenty times, but as far as repeated viewings go, both
Alien and
Predator -- especially the latter -- hold up time and time again.
although i love it...
The Evil Dead is overrated

I too thought Predator 2 was too fast and in your face at times. I know they didnt need the slow pace and build up, because it had been done in Predator but you can still slow things down in a sequel without going overboard. Hell look at Aliens. It still takes a hell of alot of time to get going, and builds the tensions and suspense brilliantly even though the audience knows what the creature is.
I thought Predator got the pacing spot on actually. Its not as slow as Alien (As MadassAlex points out that was necessary and it worked great) but it still takes its time to build up, giving us little snippets here and there to further the mystery until all hell breaks loose. Even after the intial attacks the audience is still unclear whats happening for another 15-20 minutes until the shit really hits the fan in the last half hour or so.

I beg to differ. Shaun of the Dead is one of the best zombie movies, the zombies weren't the point of comedy, it was character driven and the zombies were frightening. Definately one of my favourite films.

Ice Cream Cake is overrated.
What the hell is an ice cream cake?
A block of ice cream, with a layer of chocolate cookie crumbles, with icing on top. It isn't near as good as it sounds.

I have seen the new Star Trek, who does Simon Pegg play?
Scotty. He's pretty good at it. The accent is a bit different, but overall, he got the role dead-on.

The funny thing is, there has never been an actual Scottish Scotty. The original (James Doonhan) was Canadian, and the second (Pegg) was English.

True. If Chuck had had his beard (the source of his strength) he would have defeated Bruce. Of course that movie proves that beneath Chucks beard IS a chin and sadly not another fist.
I love when they say, "I'm not ginger, I'm strawberry blonde". Cracks me up, every time.

Everyone (esp. critics and review sites) says theyre without equal. I try, time and again to sit through that garbage fest. But alas....
I loved it. One of my favourite films. The acting is great, and the story is compelling.
Yeah, even if you find it booring, like I do, you can't help but notice the skill in which they are made.
All well and good, but my point was that they were overrated. Which frankly I believe is a very fair point.
I can see that. There are too many films that are just as good as them that critics do not get the same acclaim, so they could be overrated in that sense.
In fact I cant see any Film made after 2000 being even considered close. Not very fair, just because we cant look back on it and sigh, like older movies.

But seriously, have you read his Die Hard review? :o
No! *runs off to read Die Hard review*
Bah humbug! What was he thinking? Only two stars! And criticizing Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson!
You think that's bad? It still is, but they gave Die Hard 2 (an enjoyable but uninspired film) a glowing review (3.5/4 I believe) while blasting the masterful original.
Also, Gene Siskel was not good with reviews, giving such classics as Aliens, The Terminator, and Silence of the Lambs thumbs down.

I just don't find him funny. I am a big Deadpool fan (or really
was back in the 90s), I just think he's better suited for romantic comedies like Failure to Launch where he can say something not all that funny while he's flexin' his abs for da chicks (I got no problem with that, I try to do the same for the wife! :D) He's completely interchangeable with Dane Cook. I actually find Dane Cook slightly... just slightly funnier but also just mostly obnoxious.

Overrated? Overappreciated? Overrecognized? Music. I don't own a single CD, I don't listen to it in my spare time. I find listening to music dull and uninteresting. In fact, I don't even have a favourite band or singer.
Not kidding either.
I used to be exactly the same way. But then I eventually got an Ipod and it's been non-stop cheesy 80s music ever since!

15. :)
there could still be hope for you!
i find music great for when i'm walking or cycling places, to the point i get really bored if i don't have music playing when i am.
i find it hard to believe though that you've never enjoyed a piece of music in your life, whether it is in the background somwehre or on the radio or in a movie.
Wow, PBA, I'd have never guessed you're such a younster! :)

Good for you.
i love my music now. Infact my music collection is more important to me than my books, movies or tv series. I cant go to any random nightclub. me and my friends much prefer to go to bars and clubs that play the type of music we like. i cant get in the car, walk, or do anything without my ipod to listen to. If im not watching tv and im doing something on the computer for example ive got music on. But i too didnt really care for music until i was about 18 or 19. before that all i heard was what my dad played or what was on the radio. dont really know why i started giving a shit but i do. i find that horrible "would you rather be blind or deaf" question really hard to answer as a result. I really dont know wether i could handle not being able to listen to music. i reckon id plump for being blind so i could still hear music.
And yes apple is overrated. creative mp3 players shit all over ipods.

this thread isnt about what people dont like though. its about things that are overrated. You can still like something and find it overrated. and you can dislike something, but still appreciate it for what it is yet still believe its overrated. but disliking something is not the same thing. to say music is overrated is just as idiotic and basic a statement as movies are overrated, life is overrated, breathing is overrated.........................................

Me to Vul. I was really serious about life and all that from 19-22. Then the past couple years i've appeared to have reached my mid-age crisis.
I think due to a combination of work, stress and beer I've just gone half-retard over the last 3 years. The other day I played the circle game with some random guy in the supermarket.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your posts in the "South Park" thread. You were critical of Danish cartoons, not SP.
But imo it's still hypocritical of you, offended by cartoons (which authors had every right to do) because they depict this particular religious figure and subsequently stating political correctness is overrated.
The way I see it, you can be either politically correct about everything, or nothing at all.

Maybe it is because aside from being great musical talents, they were comedic geniuses as well.
I saw HELP! That was one of the funniest movies of all time.
BTW, I don't see how I Wanna Hold Your Hand is about Acid.
I should see that movie. I saw the ad, and it looked quite good. Yellow Submarine is also quite hilarious, and very surreal.

Anyway.. back on topic: Inglorious Basterds is overrated. It was good, sure, but I found it nowhere near as memorable, funny and quotable as Pulp Fiction and the hype it was getting felt undeserved, too.
Christoph Waltz... such a brilliant performance in that. I would say that he pretty much made that movie what it is! That, and the great cinematic style that comes with every Tarintino film.
It was still over-rated. Same with Kill Bill and Deathproof. Though it was a marked improvement on both those flicks.

No argument there, Waltz was fantastic. Sadly, his performance was the only thing in the movie that blew me away.
And I feel Tarantino has overdone it with the dialogue this time. Those verbal exchanges were getting ridiculously over-the-top at times and gave the viewer a pretty clear idea what was Tarantino doing with his other hand while writing.
Naruto is too looked down upon to be over-rated.

-Robots/mechas Hurr
-there is the funny guy(main character. and always, always a lame-ass origin story) who happens to save the day because of his "hidden power", "inner streght" or "[insert generic made-up ability]"; the useless slut everyone fights for; the cool, "deep" guy that the slut falls for, the tought, big guy who is totally going to beat the living f**k out of the main character but losses inexplicably. then the evil, evil bad guy who you crave the most because he hates everyone.

What you said. I never liked anime.
Therefore the only anime I like is Death Note, since it doesn't adhere to any of those cliches (except maybe the one about monsters, but they play a secondary and supportive role).
Death Note's alright.
Ninja Scroll is good. So is Hellsing, all others are a bit naff from what I've seen.
I mostly agree with Acheronsis on there. And don't forget 90% of Anime protagonists are Orphans. ;D

That's what I used to dismiss them as. They're actually very good, with fantastic characters. They don't get enough praise when compared to Tarantino's other flicks. Personally I prefer them to Inglourious Basterds.
What's so great about them?
The films? The characters?

Not all anime or manga are like that. Look like Bebop or Berserk for example.
Never seen Bebop, but its theme song is amazing.
I've never really been into anime, not sure why.
I did like the Batman one though. :)
I do find it annoying with people saying all of animes are same like they all have cute big eyes, and all take place in some high school. It's like me saying all american comics like DC, Marvel, and Image suck since their all guys in suits that fight crime, and have lame superheros without reading or watching any or more then series.

well, actually, most superheroes are lame and repetitive. id say that they are pretty overrated, but i dont want to get crushed under the avalanche of butthurt to follow. oh what the hell. its like saying all Indie movies are good because they are indie. WRONG. no indie movie is good, at least not with the same standards, and there arent many bad super hero comics, but most are mediocre and unoriginal.
saying all anime was overrated was misplaced. i correct myself: "all MAINSTREAM anime is overrated, just like western comic books. it is just that the average moron likes crap, and to stay on the air, good things become crap too. however, in anime, the amount of good stuff per shit is so disimile, that you can count with your fingers the stuff worth bother-a-f**k to take a look at"
actually, scratch that, everything sucks, and i hate everyone.
Argh im off to sleep.

That's ridiculous.
So many of those conventions and concepts apply to any form of entertainment media that most of this is moot.
As for the culture thing, it's a little rude considering that almost all anime is made under a Japanese cultural framework anyway. Telling them to stop shoving their culture down your throat is like criticising Hollywood for Braveheart because it's too Scottish.
I agree with your conclusion, by the way. Most anime is garbage. But you've missed all the major points. Schoolgirls can be awesome, monsters and the undead are a lot of fun, samurai and stuff are just their equivalent of knights so it's like a hero figure to them anyway and everyone digs giant robots.
Most anime is awful because it has an incoherent plot, haphazardly told while trying to artificially engineer emotional attachment to the characters. It also has a tendency to soapbox a lot and talk down to you. All of those aspects are bad in any form of media, not just anime.
So bad anime falls flat for the same reason bad TV and cinema does.
(But with more boobies).
It doesn't help though when you're watching something that's clearly dubbed and their mouths are moving at the wrong moments.
Yeah, that sucks.
Although largely a trope of anime past. Today's dubbing is a lot more clever. Some anime even get reanimated for Western dubbing purposes
English dub are crap I just watch it sub'd, I like to read. :D
I like some dubs over subs like a few Godzilla movies for example like Godzilla: 2000.
QuoteIt doesn't help though when you're watching something that's clearly dubbed and their mouths are moving at the wrong moments.
I was watching Spirited Away last night and it didn't matter one iota.
Subtitles can distract the eye from the beauty of the animation.

If it's on TV, I don't always get subtitles. But yes, they do help.

Meh, just one of those things I notice. Once I see it, it's going to bug me to no end.
I don't recall ever watching a flick like that and the lip sync matching the original language anyway.

At least KB doesn't kill innocent Pregnant People or Kids... and has a metaphor behind it.
What metaphor was that?
Sufference of what happened to the protagonist is exposed on screen through the violence.
I have no problem with pregnant women dying or kids, for that matter. If I'm willing to let Family Guy get away with a Palestinian alarm clock bit, I can forgive the former in the name of entertainment.

Eh?
It was a simple revenge flick(s). We saw what happened to the protagonist - nothing needed to be exposed since it was all there on screen.

I'd prefer a mix between both, like Joe Kelly's Deadpool run, a mix of comedy and seriousness, but mostly serious for the first movie and then increase the comedy slightly for a possible sequel.

If you're an anime fan, you all know this guy.
That motherf**ker that believes that the samurai are some goddamn lost angelic order of warrior monks that piss honey and shit rainbows. The dude who claims to be well-read on them without understanding that Bushido was a 20th-century invention and that most samurai, like their Western counterparts, were mostly wealthy bullies and butcherers of peasants.
This is the same guy that believes that katanas were weapons without equal when they were generally side-arms at most.
Alright, sure. There was a very short timespan where the role of the samurai caused them to be ridiculous awesome, but that was basically when they were useless as soldiers anyway. And even then it speaks of a mindset dominated by the need for self-validation through stepping on others.
But then he says "But you forget, the samurai were also highly concerned with the perfection of every art they partook of!". What. Did you carry out a f**king census? Do you have a f**king time machine? How the f**k do you know that the samurai weren't just whoremongering and gorging as their wealth allowed?
No other sect of nobility or privilege in the world has such an undeserved reputation.
Not to say that there weren't samurai that used their privilege to get ass-kicking down to a fine art while maintaining good will and excellent courtesy, but slaughtering peasants is kinda lame. And courtesy is determined by the social rules of the time, anyway. Spitting on a peasant might not be considered discourteous, 'cause, f**k it, it's a peasant. it's not like the aristocracy was treading on a nigh-inexhaustible source of people calling out for an opportunity to develop themselves and their lives into something that meant more than supporting the local lord.

Couldn't agree with you more. Movies and anime have given the impression that they were invincible gods of the sword and their Katana's could cut through
anything.
Did anyone watch 'Deadliest Warrior'? Viking vs Samurai/warrior god. They totally ignored the fact that a Samurai (as far as I know and I'm not a historian) probably would not have come up against a large shield before (it would depend on the era I suppose, did the Mongolians or chinese or Siamese ever use shields?). They proved that the Katana couldn't cut the chain mail Brynja the Vikingr wore in the tests preceeding the fight then had the Samurai stab the Vikingr to death in the final fight. They also adheared to the hollywood idea that Vikings are big dumb brutes and the Samurai are pearless perfect warriors. Godlike even. Of course Vikings were actually highly skilled warriors and not big dumb idiots movies claim they are (the berserkers were possibly, but not all Vikings were berserkers).
Also the Samurai used a weapon that I have seen in Japanese myth and ink paintings but have never heard of a Samurai actually using one (again I'm not an historian and could be wrong) I think it was called a Kabuto???? It looks like a giant baseball bat with metal studs. Basically I thought this was cheating, under these rules the Vikingr could have shown up with Mjollnir!
Ninja vs Spartan was also a bit dodgy. Since the movie 300 Spartans are now also god like warriors (they were great warriors, at least in a shield wall anyway). Basically my issue wasn't who won, I pretty much agreed with the outcome (Spartan won) it was the egg. An egg, drained of yoke etc and filled with tiny glass shards and chili powder. This was thrown into the eyes of the Spartan. The Spartan simply shakes his head and then is fine. Apparently the Spartan is so hard he can ignore pain. Ok so he can ignore pain but my issue is that he has
glass and chili powder in his eye. It's not about pain, it's about being blind.
That entire show is total BS. Well it seems to be a show based on who Hollywood says is awesome.

Final Fantasy 7.
For an epic rpg that is suppossed to be one of THE examples of how to successfully create and distribute an JRPG, I found myself never quite able to get into the extremely disjointed storyline. It also didn't settle on a genre. There were elements of every other FF in there, but every part with Jenova or Sephiroth reminded me of japanese horror movies. I didn't appreciate the swaying back and forth from light hearted JRPG to dark horror themed storyline. It didn't fit. At least 9, despite its presentation, let you know something was amiss throughout the whole plot. FF7 seemed to add it on a whim.
Thats one of my gripes with all media though. When a story stops feeling like the same story. Or when a series (that includes an overlapping storyline) stops using the same elements that made the original successful (one of my primary beefs with Alien RES).
Just never dug it. Its not a bad game, but I like 6, 8,9, and even X way more than I do the seventh incarnation.
Of the ones I've played and successfully beaten, I'd only rank it ahead of the origina FF.

Havn't played every FPS game so I cant really say.
I feel its perfectly balanced gameplay, thats easilly accessible and quite rewarding.
Perhaps theres nothing "new" per-se, but in a manner of speaking no games ever give anything truly new. Its usually just a different vehicle/character/option to play with.

Yes, it was the best mission in the game.
Why anger ? Self rightous do-gooders, pretending they were offended ?
No Russian was easily one of the worst things about the game. It was only there to get the game a bit of extra publicity.

Well come on now, this is Activision were talking about... $15 dlc, and releasing the game with MP breaking glitches. What else can you expect...
I am eagerly awaiting MW3 in which activision decide the games needs a gun peripheral. For which they will charge $100, and idiots will still buy the crap.
Black Ops is coming out first and it's looking better already ;)

The sinking ice was the final nail in the coffin for me. Christ.
Seriously? You still haven't gotten over that? Wow.

Who gives a shit about sinking ice?! :D
I do! It's basic common f**king sense!
In the grand scheme of things that was so insignificant! Especially when considering that the ice was sinking during what was an underwater ripoff of Return of the Jedi's Battle of Endor!
Forget the ice!
I can't!
Wow, it must have really got to you. :D

i totally agree with you Tyrant, it's not his fault he is typecast in weird roles, although maybe it is, i hear he enjoys it, but i am always baffled when people say all of his performances are the same, they are totally not, i agree he has a default like many actors, you might see that in The 9th Gate for example, but even in his default setting he is still a lot better than someone like Tom Cruise.
just go watch Fear and Loathing, Ed Wood, Gilbert Grape, and tell me that he isn't a great actor.
Even when hes in a film just for the hell of it, for a bit of a laugh, for some shits and giggles, hes excellent. For that i direct you to Once Upon A Time In Mexico.

Yeah, Deadpool is extremely overrecognised lately. He exploded into popularity after X-Men Origins: Wolverine came out. He's been everywhere since then. Although I'm proud to say I was a fan before his sudden exposure explosion. ;D
I just checked the Spell check, before typing this, and the spelling suggestion for 'X-Men' was 'semen'. :D
Was Deadpool in X-Men origins ?
Yeah, he was played by Ryan Reynolds toward the beginning, he was the guy with the two katanas who killed everybody after coming out of the elevator and then he was the main antagonist at the end of the movie when they completely screwed up his character by sewing his mouth shut, giving him laser eyes and a blade in each of his arms.
RAGE.
He was awesome before the movie screwed him up.
well i know nothing about the comics but i do know the deadpool in the movie might as well have been a completely different character with a new name because it had f**k all to do with the comic book version. I suspect deadpool fans were fecking furious.
That does sound retarded. ???
As somebody who has never read a single comic book in his life ( but i do enjoy comic book movies) even i found it hard to believe they turned this......

Yeah, I was pretty much seething. The only good part with Deadpool was the aformentioned elevator scene.
He was a good character but to cool it deadpool is bad they should of called another name and it might have been liked cause it does look cool but as deadpool no way hoosay.
I also believe Spider-Man has become overrated. He's no where near his prime like in the 90's. His current series is just rehashing 90' storylines, in my opinion. However, I am looking forward to Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Web of Shadows was great.

I got zero laughs from that. Terrible and predictable.
I laughed only three times. One of which was after the "Comb the desert!" sequence. :D
But pretty unfunny overall.
You're all fools! Okay, probably the only reason I like it so much is that it's been a part of my life since I was probably around 6 or so. I can't help but think it's ingenious! Come on, the ludicrous speed bit was great!
That was my second laugh.
Hmmm Spaceballs. That was an odd one. A couple of really funny moments but on the whole I too found it quite dull and not consistent with the laughs. doesnt help that i cant stand Bill Pullman. dont know why but he makes me cringe.

In my opinion, they were the best in the 90's. Lady Death was like Wonder Woman, a pioneer for certain female characters. She started the "badass female that can easily kick any males ass" type character, and then many more followed. The storylines were dark and gritty, something I like to see in comics. You'd have to read some of them for yourself to get the full experience.

Brooks was a comic genius. I think his best are a three way tie between The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, but SpaceBalls, High Anxiety, Robin Hood Men in Tights and all the rest still make me laugh. Hell, even Dracula Dead and Loving It managed to make me chuckle a few times.
History of the World Part I is pretty good too.
Have not seen that one yet, but it is on the must see list. Can't wait to be on the floor again. Mel never disappoints me with that.
I honestly don't think Mel has made a a good film since Young Frankenstein :-\.
I haven't seen enough of his films to really judge.
His ones after that were not quite as good, but they were still good.
High Anxiety had to be good for Alfred Friggen Hitchcock to send Mel a bottle of champagne as a complement for it.
Can't comment on High Anxiety. But both his Dracula and Robin Hood spoofs made me cringe so much my forehead split at the sides.
shockingly i still havnt seen young frankenstein, despite numerous recommendations over the years to go check it out.
It is very funny.

I heard the sequel was terrible though.
Never was one, unless you count the fake ad at the end of the first.

Even though I agree with you I don't agree with superman being misunderstood he is also overrated (in popular culture but not in films, comics same with batman in the comic book world he is not overrated at all but in the recent films he is all over popular culture.

Hes also a smug twat.
He's boring, that's his problem. Enough of the Kryptonite BS and find some enemies that can legitimately go toe-to-toe with you. And while Doomsday and Metallo certainly fit the bill, they haven't appeared in the comics lately to the best of my knowledge.
Superman vs. Doomsday was by far one of the best comic book fights of all time.

My only qualm with it is Luthor. He was poorly concieved. Is it Superman as a character that doesn't engage you or just the film as a whole?
I know I just miss the way Hulk was portrayed before the new films still like him though.

Hmm... would have to watch it again to give a definitive answer (it's been a while since I last saw it), but I agree with you about Luthor; he didn't impress me. Hackman didn't seem right for the role.
And although
Returns wasn't all that great, Spacey was excellent as Lex.
Indeed. Spacey did a good job as Luthor.
I liked Gene as Luthor.
Hulk is definitely not overrated, imo.
World War Hulk PROVED that he's the strongest there is! :D
Seriously, he even beat Sentry.
World War Hulk...
Oh god. Greg Pak should not be allowed to write.
WWH was good. I don't understand why people disliked it.

Oh god. Greg Pak should not be allowed to write.
What!? Why not? He did a great job of showing Hulk's dominance, he's the best there is so, why not write it that way?
If people are going to complain about Hulk being too powerful in the series, I would direct them to X-Men: WWH #3 when Hulk and Juggs went toe-to-toe and Juggs was able to draw blood.
Yeah, Juggy is really powerful but, he's dumbass so, he still lost, lol. Even though it only last a few pages, Hulk vs. Sentry is my favorite comic book fight of all time. They really need to have a whole book rematch, with Hulk winning though since he's The Hulk, lol.

Everything is overrated apparently.
Sam Worthington is overrated in my books. Pretty bland actor.
Wes Craven is Overrated.
^He pulls out quality now and then but I agree. I think the Aliens from AvP are overrated. They didn't seem as impressive as alot of people(in Tohokingdom) made them out to be.
Na there rated just right.
Spoiler
awful.
I thought they were pretty good myself. Quite vicious and cool to look at. (for the most part)
I ment from other sites(Tohokingdom and CBUB) who acted like they were uber-aliens while Spike and Giger's alien would tear them apart.

Yeah, except they are the opposite of what an Alien should look like.
My qualm stems from their behaviour more than their appearance. While it's fun in some cases seeing an Alien and Predator fight, the Alien wasn't supposed to be a fighting monster in the first place.
How about when it got knocked and started rolling like an idiot? Or when it was crouching waiting to get hit?

Not all. MMA fighters make half as much, if that, compared to other athletes.
Half as much as a footballer is still a lot of money though.
Considering what they go through, it's not enough.

I do.
Yes, that's right. It's only known as football outside of North America, if I'm not mistaken.
Not just the US.
We generally call it soccer too because Aussie Rules is the dominant code here and therefore is called football. Rugby (both kinds) get called football too - inexplicably because feet are used about as much as in Gridiron...
I guess anywhere it's not the main type of sport involving balls and feet ( :o) it's called soccer.
When I was in high school, I thought rugby was overrated. All the big guys played it and raved about it like it was the greatest thing on the planet. Just never saw the excitement in it.
Nor me.
I don't mind watching the World Cup, or a league grand final, but otherwise it's a bit of a schnooze.

I know I will think of more... :-\
Going green is overrated? Since when is benefiting the environment a bad thing?
I think what hes trying to say is that they babble on about it,but whats actually happening.Not Alot.
You are right, but for the same reason, I don't know. I feel that helping the environment is a good thing and that we should "Go Green" to an extent, per say. That extent is as long as it doesn't begin to go in to all that political shit. I hate how being environmentally friendly is a political motivational tool. I think people like Al Gore are full of shit and have scammed many in to billions of dollars in order to fund certain agendas (this I wont get in to) that we are not aware of. So, in no way am I an Eco-freak because I think were doing good so far in helping the planet stay healthy and I'm not worried about "Global Warming"... I said "Going Green" is overrated because everyone uses it as a selling point in politics, marketing, etc. and it make's the whole population worried about whether the planet is going to be "OK" which, in my opinion, is FINE! ;D

I think some of the more recent Final Fantasy Games are a bit overrated, namely part 10.
I have to agree 100% there. I'm a huge fan of the early games, but I haven't been able to play anything from 10 onwards for more than a couple of hours. They just aren't the same.
off topic, you become a mod. 8) coolies, you be a great one I am sure.
on topic, never played a single ff game and even though I have heard that 7 is like the best game ever it just looks boring to me.
Quoteoff topic, you become a mod. 8) coolies, you be a great one I am sure.
Cheers mate. Still have to prove myself, but thanks for the encouragement :)
Quoteon topic, never played a single ff game and even though I have heard that 7 is like the best game ever it just looks boring to me.
It's like Marmite mate. It goes without saying that something that takes 80 hours of play to complete takes real patience. And even though I'm a HUGE fan, there are times when I've played it and almost given up completely. Many a time I've screamed "OMFG! ANOTHER RANDOM BATTLE?! I LITERALLY TOOK ONE STEP!! WHAT THE F**K?!" at the TV while playing.
But, they (FF7 in particular) have really, really deep storylines. And by the time you come to the final boss, you'll really care about the characters.
FFVI was the best.
I think FFVII was a turning point towards postmodern self-awareness, but unlike, say Metal Gear Solid 2, it ran with it and played it straight rather than deconstructing anything. The series becomes hard to swallow because it's aware of its own popularity but still takes itself so incredibly seriously while doling up the same thing time and time again.
It's become like a bad prog rock song, full of wanky stuff we don't care about and are expected to take absolutely seriously. I understand that FFVII was to PS1 owners as OoT was to N64 owners, but the series seems to have hit its winning formula and continues along the same tirade.
FFXIII was released just this year and already FFXIV was being advertised at E3. Basically, Square are so sure (and they should be) of any FF game's success that they don't have to release one to begin working on another. Funny how I'm beginning to agree more and more with Yahtzee these days. Sure I understand that the games industry execs are unwilling to take too many risks, but something a little different would be fun.
Predators is overrated.
Button down the hatches, lads.
I'm not exactly dissing them, or anything, but WHY THE HELL are Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece so damn popular?!
I mean, the way I've seen them, they're just endless charades of episodes, with a big plot thrown in every once in a while.
I've watched anime and read manga that I like FAR more awesome than any of the three. Hell, if anyone here has read Watashi No Massiah-Sama, don't you agree that THAT deserves an unholy army of awesome fangirls and actionguys, instead of this yellow haired kid that seems to live off of nothing but a really pissy determination?
I mean really? If there is a Naruto/Bleach/One Piece fan here, please, pleeaase, PLLEEAASSEE tell me why you love love with giant hearts like them?
The Bleach manga is sorta fun, but like a lot of its genre, it just goes on for waaaay too long.
Hellsing is the best anime.

Yep, I agree with that.
^ QFT?
It actually isn't that overrated I think, because most reviews got it right, this film is about a 6,5 it's not great or good it's okay for once instead of a utter failure like AVP-R, which in the beginnge was overrated by allot of people on this site when it came out. Predators didn't have that effect.
I meant by the people rating it 7 and eight or saying it's as good as the original.
There are a lot.
A lot of those could just be people posting while still in the afterglow of seeing something new in the series. IIRC it was kind of the same here when AvP:R came out. It wasn't until a couple of weeks later that some people realised how crap it was in reality.

I may just understand that, at games like SSBB I enjoy losing more than winning because when I lose I know I'm not at the top and the rush when you get your versing someone who might just be better than you is better than the feeling of winning.
In other words its about the journey not the destination.

I play for fun too, but winning is a nice touch.
Winning isn't "nice" man, its AWESOME! ;D
I think winning is imporatant. Especially for children, becuase it teaches them that hard work can pay off. Which is why I'm p**sed that my step-daughters school has banned competitive sports, becuase they feel they encourage bullying and such like.

Before people jump down my throat, saying something is overrated doesnt mean you dont like it. So for the record I think shes ok, but nothing special. And thats my point. Shes yet another distinctly average female vocalist in the soul-rock, anti-folk, chamber pop etc etc style. But because of the media and radio (BBC in particualr) shes hailed as some kind of musical goddess and leading lady of that particular style of music.
And that of course is utter bollocks. There are so many other artists (especially in the female singer/songwriter areas) that are either just as good, or way better, but they get no recognition. I suppose this happens with all music, but in this case its getting blown out of all proportion.

In fact, if I see Halo and the, err, "O word" in the same sentence one more time I will scream.
I will say there are many games that are just as good as Halo, but don't get as much attention. It could count in that sense, but it would be more correct to say the other games are underrated.
And I am still waiting for that Arbiter and Rtas game. Halo needs more of those two.

I really do think Halo is overrated though. have done since the first game all those years ago. Played it, got bored very quickly, the flood pissed me right off, story was shit, extremely repetitive (alot of FPS games are so im not pointing the finger soley at Halo) and i only finished it for the sake of it. Never played another halo game especially after many reviews said that if you hated the Flood levels in the first game youd wouldnt enjoy the second game.
For someone that just didnt get Halo at all, and didnt enjoy it, i can still recognise it was a good game and im sure all the sequels and spin-offs were too, but i just cannot accept the over the top praise it gets. Yes i think theyre good games with excellent graphics but theyre not as mindblowing as reviews and people claim them to be.
I liked the story.
Same here.
The first game didn't get the story completely out, but was good enough to hold you. Once Halo 2 came out, it was full blown immersion.

I didn't dislike it; I liked it a lot, actually. Very fun, and a great story. But it wasn't as good as everyone made it out to be, and they actually removed features that had been implemented in previous installments, which really pissed me off.

i agree, i was never a big fan of 3, and really 4 is the sequel to 3, VC and SA were both far superior to either 3 or 4. SA had so much that they just took out of 4 for no reason, the fact that there was RP elements, like you could eat a lot and get fat, which meant you could take more bullets but you have less stamina, that stuff was genius, and really added to the game.
Another thing that is overrated. Fedor, 'Nuff said.

You can't take out what wasn't there in the first place. Unlike the previous ones, they built IV from the ground up. You know, new engine and all that. Just getting the basic elements down took them long enough to demand a delay. If they had aimed to include all that stuff from San Andreas, you'd be waiting still.
Doesn't matter; the point is they removed features, leaving me quite disappointed.

And again, they didn't. They just didn't include them. If I build a house without windows, you can't say I removed them. They were never there. Like, alright, they probably could've included things like parachutes in IV if they had focused their energy on that instead of cabaret and bowling, but working with whole new physics and graphics engines is still tricky, so it's not like you can just slap on all that stuff. IV is more like a foundaton for all their future games. They made sure they get the basics right so they can focus on the contents of future games instead of wrestling with the engines. I don't think Red Dead Redemption would've be half as impressive if they hadn't made IV first.
Plus, the Houser's had wanted to make a more serious game if I understand correctly, and I suppose this was a good opportunity for that since they had somewhat of a good reason to make a more toned down game.

lol, but i bet you'd feel shortchanged if you asked some builders to build you a house and they didn't put windows in, you'd be all like "where are my windows, houses normally have windows" and then they'd say "we built your house from the ground up using new techniques, you can't expect us to put everything in, like windows, wait until your next house"
Precisely.
And, again, it is a removal of features from the series because it was a sequel that didn't have features that were in previous installments in the series. Doesn't matter why they weren't there.

It normally has planes. Jetpacks, I was fine with, but no planes was a f**king ripoff.
Planes in GTA IV would have been utterly useless. And helicopters were and still are infinitely more fun to dick around in.
Yeah, one was traded for the other when it came to choppers and planes. Don't see the big deal.
Previous games had both. And it was more than just planes. The game was still fun, but nowhere near as good as it was made up to be. Definitely didn't deserve Game of the Year.
GTA IV won GotY??
Yep. Fallout 3 was much more deserving, in my opinion.

Not really. Out of twelve (or thirteen) GTA games, only three have flyable planes. Ner ner ner.
All the recent ones had had them, so, ha! And that doesn't mean I can't be disappointed by their exclusion.
Let's stop now. It was a good game, not great, but good.
Fallout 3 is the one game I have played and got 100% and still just pick it up for kicks, they really did out do themselves.
I liked it, but it did have it's issues. I thought the third-person graphics and animation looked really sketchy.
I couldn't play that game in 3rd person, it looked like the world was moving and you were just making the walking motions. I did it 1st person all the way, I only went 3rd if I had female character I wanted to see some ass. ;D
Dead Rising. All there is to do in that game is to kill zombies and wait for the helicopter.
That's more or less what L4D is.

Cloverfield was utterly overrated, I saw it at the cinema and although I watched it til the end I found myself wanting to tear my eyes out half way through. You never find out what or where the creatures are or from, and you don't find out whether the giant creature dies at the end and I know the shaky camera was for effect as it was supposed to be a personal one, but didn't like it and didn't like the story or plot in general. Loads of critics gave it 4/ 5 and 5/5 which it soooo didn't merit, imho worse film of all time. >:(

I wouldn't address it as
the worst ('cause there is worse, oh there is!), but I agree on what you say. Effectively there
were moments in the film in which they
could have explained a bit (example, when the military finds them and brings them to the hospital). Even theories from the protagonists wouldn't have hurt.
But it was supposed to have very little information.
Thing is, Cloverfield gives no information at all. We just see a big bad hairless wingless bat with a Viperfish sticked into the head area going apeshit on a city. End of information.
Which for me (probably cause I have simple tastes and those are easily met) is fun.

Yeah i know but i dont like that style, i didn't have a problem using my imagination, but at least they could have given us some info about the creatures origins when they met up with the marines/army guys to give substance to the plot. I liked the way it started with the air of mystery but to not give any new info at all made the second half feel cheap and too familiar, like they basically re-used the first half of the movie. I just dont care for that sort of stuff but yes maybe worst film ever was a bit of an exaggeration but it is the worst i have ever seen.

I liked AVP:R mainly the action, acting was shabby but didn't mind and i got past the dark scenes by turning up my brightness and contrast by 5 points.

I agree with you. About Cloverfield. Grossly overrated. I didn't care for any of the characters.
However, I shall have to respectfully disagree with you about
that film. I think you know the one I'm talking about.

Yes, that would be why. But I did admire how it managed to combine the basic
Alien formula with zombies which meant that there was enough surprisingly well done gore to keep things fun. And I'd even go as far as saying that it was genuinely atmospheric for a lot of the time.
But they really dropped the ball upon fully revealing the creature. :D

Call of duty.

i admit to really liking all 4 tremors movies to varying degrees, but i think it's mostly Nightmare Asylum who takes it a teeny bit too far, not that there's anything wrong with that though. ;)
i really have never understood the Halo love, admittedly i've never actually played any of the games, partially due to the fact i initially boycotted the fact that the first game was XBox exclusive, when i had been awaiting the game's release on PC since before the XBox was even announced, then by the time it was eventually released on PC i gad lost interest. and the fact i've never owned an XBox or powerful enough computer to play the games, but even as a fan of SF, and FPS games, i look at Halo and ask, "what's so amazing about it?"
It's fun.
TJ Doc is overrated.
Yer but a lot of games match it in quality and the amount of "fun" but they get overlooked because games like halo and call of duty control the market. Still I won't ever say there bad games though cause there not.

I always thought Predator 2 was underrated. ???
I'm reading a William Goldman book at the moment which mentions Predator 2 as a Christmas 1990 release and gets studio exec feedback at various points (among other 1990 Christmas releases)
July 1990 - "Who'd want to see a bloodbath when we're singing 'Peace on earth'?"
November 1990 - "I thought we were talking disaster here, but now I keep hearing - this from sane people, remember - that the damn thing is good." "I think this is the sleeper of the season because of the monster. it's just a great monster. I'll go out on a limb: It's a franchise monster."
February 1991 - There will be no Predator 3.

When I was a kid, I liked Iron Maiden. Then I heard Iron Maiden.
that doesn't make sense
Here, let me spell it
all out for you...
Iron Maiden, like 99% of metal bands, spend their energy on spectacle and image. People listen to metal bands because it makes them (the
posers listeners) appear badass. When I was an impressionable youngster, I fell in with the seemingly cool kids because they (and, later, I) listened to Iron Maiden,
et al. Then, one day, I actually
listened to Iron Maiden and other bands of that ilk and realized that not only was it annoying, it was really lame.
So, to recap, I liked Iron Maiden, then I f**king woke up.

Mal, I think you're very intelligent and have a lot of good things to say, but sometimes when you talk about things subjectively, you phrase it as though you were giving a science lecture. This isn't conductive to any sort of good discussion since you're just likely to get a gut response rather than anything flirting with constructiveness.
For the record, I think Iron Maiden are overrated by virtue of being a mainstream band while a bunch of better bands go unnoticed, but I still think they're about as good as mainstream music gets.

Granted final girls and preds should stay far apart n terms of actions and such.
Final girls are plenty cool, but not if they're supposed to be super duper Predators.
That we can agree on.
They should remain seperate. The character formula doesn't really mix well.

The first one was interesting, but everything after that was nothing special at all.
I didn't even like the first one. It's a Terminator ripoff with wire-fu. Count me out.
I don't see similarities to The Terminator.
I can understand the fan base for the first one, but I saw the second one and thought even the eye candy looked really bad.
I am not a fan of any of them.

In a slasher movie, the final girl is the one who's still alive at the end, but they've done it simply through being the last in line to die, not because they've actually managed to save themselves thus far.
Berserker was alive at the end simply because he hadn't really had the chance to die.
Despite that, there are some final girls who are freaking awesome.
Ginny (Friday the 13th part 2)
Connie (Just Before Dawn)
Pam (The Prowler)
These three are nice to look at, and they kick all kinds of ass when they need to.
Hell, Connie killed a man in a way I didn't know existed.

Well the films needs that "last stand" of sorts don't they? So yeah, he won't die just yet. Just like the girl in the original NOES.

Nancy actually breaks the mould by encountering Freddy
before the end and surviving.
Laurie Strode was followed by Michael and spotted him a few times, though it wasn't active like Nacny and Freddy.
Pam from The Prowler on the other hand broke that mold as well, and she did it earlier. She escapes from the killer in the first 10 minutes of the movie and doesn't run into him again until the end.

I thought you were talking about BSP Doom.
I was referring to Mr. Kruger.
I think the remake of
The Hills Have Eyes was overrated.
I really was looking forward to this one being a huge fan of the original, but after so-so reactions, i put seeing it on hold. I checked it out uncut on the movie channels.
Now let me get this straight. the first half of the movie is amazing. Everything a
Hills Have Eyes remake should be.
The second half
Spoiler
where all the villains get killed, the moments I was waiting for with eager anticipation
was a major letdown and spoiled the rest of the film.
The radiation plot was stupid and changed frightening characters into B grade monsters
The house is brightly lit and not as eerie as the dark, dank and little seen cave.
The villains are less human and more monster like, making them less scary.
Spoiler
The deaths of the villains lack the fury that was present in the original, despite being more gory
The actors did a great job and I commend them for that, but that second half was really disappointing despite the movie getting off to a good start.
Fortunatly, there is justice in the world. The original is on the list of
1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.
The new sequel is pretty bad. Bunch of Special Forces soldiers fall into the old cliches and get picked off one by one.
Quote from: TheMonolith on Oct 27, 2010, 01:25:13 AM

Oh yes. I agree and I didn't even see the original flick.
I didn't see the original but when I saw the remake I absolutely loved it. Now I think I should see the original.
The original is very low budget.
The acting is a bit corny, but doesn't really hurt the film.
All the same characters are there, though some of the cannibals have different names.
They are also much creepier.
For example, Pluto
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boxofficeprophets.com%2Fimages2%2Fhillshaveeyes.jpg&hash=4d441c5eabdab267f2589ec4414861e1a1b3d55c) (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages4.wikia.nocookie.net%2F__cb20090829163445%2Fhillpeople%2Fimages%2F3%2F33%2FMutant.jpg&hash=59c1cdb7d7c4ea0b5d8f33017d5aee1dc69f2dbd)
The former is easily the scarier one.
Beast is even more badass and has more scenes to himself
Spoiler
like when he stalks Jupiter and Pluto through the desert and rips out Pluto's ankle.
The gas station attendant is further developed and his explanation for the cannibals is FAR better than "Oh, they got mutated by radiation."

Mario Pretty much started this platform shit, and this is the mother'ucking thanks he gets.
I'm not denying the influence of the mario serie, just found it a bite overrated given what the game offer, In comparision of Zelda series or others. Nothing else
EDIT: i'm not sure that Mario was the one who started the platform style (i'm not an expert), but it surely bring the platform style ,more fame (or famous) in the video game world.
VERY VERY Important role ,but no exceptional content (IMSuperHO)

As much as I want to love it, I think I'm getting shooter fatigue. The MP is fun and all but at the end of the day, you're still just running around cappin' muthaf**kas. It just all feels the same.

He used to be good. But for whatever reason, his films as of late really suck. Step Brothers was pretty decent to be quite honest, but everything is just bleh.
Ferrell should do less comedic stuff and focus more on dramatic roles IMHO. Stranger Than Fiction proved he could be very good as a regular guy.

Genius.
Of course the film had dumb scenes. It's Will Ferrell, go figure. But he and Reilly had great chemistry and it made the film work. The film had a solid script and it came together nicely in the end.

Family Guy is both...much as people would like to say otherwise.

There is nothing funnier than a fart. Reilly's delivery and Rogen's reaction just push it into the stratosphere.
And Family Guy at it's best couldn't hold a candle to South Park at it's worst. South Park generally manages to succesfully mix puerile and pop-culture with an extremely incisive wit. Family Guy relies on long drawn out pop-culture references that overstay their welcome in order to pad out the running time.
Here's my take on it. Family Guy is a sillier version of South Park. It does what South Park does with the satire and the humour, but is more...I dunno, blunt I would say.
I don't know if you saw the latest Family Guy episode where Brian becomes a follower of Rush Limbaugh and decides he's going to become a hardcore conservative, but the entire episode takes a stab at the right wing extremism present in contemporary U.S. politics. There's nothing subtle about it. Every time Brian or Rush say something, the message is obvious: U.S. Republicans are f**ked up. South Park would be more tactful in its approach and be more intelligent about it certainly but FG isn't trying to be something it's not. It is what it is.
Still sounds a bit like MacFarlane is using the character of Brian (who is essentially himself) to express his opinions.. I hate that. It's not funny when somebody uses a character to get their own opinions out there. Want to know what I find funny in Family Guy? Adam West.
Boy taking a ping at conservatives is pretty controversial. Talk about a hard target. :D
Thing about South Park they don't push one agenda or another and seem to treat them all with the same level of amusement.
And I speak as one who watched all the early series but hasn't seen a full episode in years due to having children, so I'm not die-hard or anything.

Exactly. I could say, infact I will that Call of Duty is overrated. But that doesnt mean I dont like them. I just dont think they deserve the review scores they get and all the attention and sales. Same goes with games like GTAIV when they get perfect 10 scores. Sure theyre great games but 10/10? Really? GTAIV is a 9/10 at a push and id personally give it an 8/10. But a 10/10 implies its perfect.
I thought Gamespot were spot on when reviewing the latest COD. They gave it something like an 8.0 which is a great score but realistic. COD fanboys would have been up in arms because it didnt get a 10.
Yeah, there are very few games I would give a perfect 10.
But for me GTA IV would be one of them!
I agree with the COD thing, since they seem to be in a rut of churning the same shit out every time now, but GTA IV was an accomplishment. It took the bar off the map in terms of what's possible. Sure the missions were all the same:
Drive here, shoot him,
Drive there, shoot him,
Ooh look a motorcycle!
But it deserves its 10/10 more than any other game ever made. They created a living city on a console. Everytime you play it you'll find something you haven't seen/heard.
GTAIV was a hell of an achievement and even though i got bored of it very fast, and I still havnt completed it, i recognize how much effort was put into it. It deserves its praise, but perfect scores?
If GTAIV deserves perfect scores then what does RDR deserve because it blew it out of the f**king water and into orbit.
Yeah, GTA IV was far from a perfect game. A great game? Sure. But not perfect.

For the record, RDR is one of those few games I'd consider near-perfect.
I thought the story was poorly paced and the controls were too clunky.
I loved the pacing. Was just like a Western in that regard.
But I never found it gripping like most slow-paced Westerns tend to be.

Joss Whedon.
Whislt I won't deny his talent at fixing scripts which he is pretty good at and he can write a decent female character.
I just find him uninspired and heavy handed ( I mean firefly is a western set in space literally) and his pop culture references can be extremely tiring and overwrought, and I hate that its never his fault for anything for example he blames Jean-Pierre Jeunet for Alien Resurrections failings.

It is one of the greatest and deserves a spot at the very least in the top 50.

It is one of the greatest and deserves a spot at the very least in the top 50.
Maybe not so high up the list is what AvatarIII is saying.

Why?
Because.
You must have your reasons, I'm just interested how you came to that conclusion.
I would also like to add "Douchebags who think they're being clever by replying to posts of people complaining about something, by posting it".
It's not clever. It's not funny. It's f**king retarded, not to mention spam.
I didn't even read Space Sweeper's reply because I knew some tool was going to reply like that.

But on a some-what more serious note, I really don't see why you care, SiL. It's easily ignored, you either just don't watch the video (that's an easy one), or ignore the GIF response entirely.
Also, there is a nifty little tool known as the ignore list.

You think so? Hm. D9 was better overall I would say, but in terms of pure acting I prefer Moon because it's such an incredible one-man act.

And I'm not poo-pooing Moon the slightest. Top flick.
I just dug District 9 more. It made me sook.
I can agree with that. I was very, very involved in D9. Moon as well, but I didn't shed tears while watching it unlike D9.

Moon when

Sam hung up on his daughter, and started weeping in the rover.
But District 9's ending watching the ship take off and seeing Wikus left behind with his evolution quickly intensifying was quite a beautiful yet heartbreaking moment.
It's true. you will end up ruining Dexter for everyone and probably get alot of people to dislike you.

Personally, I liked Moon a bit more. It had more sci-fi elements, which appealed to me. Loved both of them, though.

At which point most of a thread will disappear, and half of what's left will be people saying "lol ;D" in response to the gif or youtube vid I've tried to ignore. It's like trying to talk to people, but all they do is keep making vague gestures and laughing. This is a
discussion board; posting a YouTube link or a random image with a caption in all caps is not discourse. If someone doesn't have something to say,
not posting is entirely an option.
The same goes for people just posting "^ what he said" and stuff like that. You have to wade through half a dozen posts of crap to get to one actual response.
Also I take D9 over Moon as well. Both great, but D9 is more entertaining.
lol ;D
But I know exactly where you're coming from. Gifs are becoming far too prevalent on the site lately, and Darkness is definately not a fan of them, I know that for a fact.
I like moon, for the sound track, the direction ( a bit more subtle ), the acting, and the subject matter.
Although it's pretty hard to choose between them,
I'm secretly hoping that Neil Blomkamp would make a film based on the subject matter of his awesome Ted talk.

It's quite rare that a GIF/clip used more than once gets "lol ;D's" out of people and nothing more. If it is a
real discussion, there may be an indication of a laugh, and then actual text of the person's thoughts on the actual discussion's content.
Also, it's somewhat rare that nothing but a GIF/clip is used in a response without any text (outside of the Rec Area), and while I admittedly do sometimes have a single GIF/clip in my responses, I usually like to add text seeing as a GIF or clip can only go so far in expressing an opinion.

If it is a

Who said anything about an argument? I said discussion.
And come on, nobody responds to a valid argument with a GIF or video.

Doesn't make them any less irritating. The point is, if you're having a serious debate with someone then present your rebuttals in words and not some stupid GIF.

Well the person who considers a GIF a serious rebuttal to be a GIF is an idiot. I don't see any GIFs in responses to actual debates around here- but that's probably because I don't visit most of the boards with 'serious' debates much.
And besides, the person who posts
nothing but a GIF automatically loses the debate unless they have something else to say. Annoying for the other person, maybe (probably taking it too seriously anyways), but they can rest assured that the other person has nothing else they can bring forward, and is less capable than a simple "no u".

BJJ is overrated. Yes, I said it. The Gracies need to get their head outta their asses.
I 100% agree with you, Submission Wrestling is just as good but doesn't receive the same attention.
Catch wrestling, CSW, hapkido, shoot wrestling...all great submission arts that are much more intricate than BJJ but everyone loves to suck Gracie cock for some reason.
Everytime I think of BJJ as a tool for a sport, I think of how poor it would fare in a street fight to be honest.

The Saw series.
I liked the first one. Had some good suspense and atmosphere as well as great actors who did great jobs with the material they were given.
But after that, it went right to the gross out graphic imagery thrust in your face.

Love the films but I full heartily agree the first movie had one of the most kick ass endings of recent memory.
The first movie was mostly Elwes and the other guy in the bathroom. That was all that was needed and it was an effective thriller.
Now the series has become like "This device on your head will snap shut on you. There is a key. It is hidden inside your left testicle. There is a scalpel on the table. See how far you can get."
The Saw series started to become like Madden and DBZ games, they all play out the same. Saw 3D was the same bullshit as the other past movies where.

i avoid using cash wherever possible, i pretty much only use it at bars and pubs, rest of the time i have my trusty Visa!
I'm the opposite nowadays. If I use my card to pay for everything, my bank lies to me and says that I have more in my account than I should have, and then takes Ā£400 in card payments off all on the same day. I was going overdrawn every month because of it, and then they were charging me Ā£80!
And then they would wait until 3 days before I get paid each month to take the Ā£80 which would put me further overdrawn and then charge me for that!!!!!!

Debit? That might sound more familiar.
Yeah but now I'm more confused :laugh:
Interchangeable terms dude. When one makes a purchase, your bank card (debit card) is swiped through a keypad, punch in your PIN, and the money is automatically debited from your account
There's normal debit cards (Maestro/ Cirrus) and there are Visa/ Mastercard/ etc debit cards. You can use the latter to pay for stuff as you would a credit card, but it debits existing credit you have rather than racking up more credit like normal credit cards, which can then attract interest charges.

Bahahaha. BLAIN said most of what would have been my response to this statement.
This just tells how good the CGI is, as one can't tell the difference between the cgi models and the practical "miniatures" (who saw the backstage docs will smile at this), which are the ones used for the most part for... well, practically all the cities and big sets (which used only cgi tweakings and only in certain scenes!)
I love how haters of films usually don't know much about those and get out with criticisms based on nothing, like for example the guys saying that they did everything digitally in
Godzilla; I get a laugh everytime.

everything about harry potter is irrational and illogical.
A series about kids using magic, unrealistic? Inconcievable.
Say what you will, Harry Potter is one of the most true-to-life stories featuring teenage protagonists out there. Barely a sliver of angst. If your quarrel with a story is that it's a story, go and pick up a physics textbook.

I dislike it mostly because it's shit. Only the 7th movie(s) are shaping up to be halfway decent.

erm.. In my opinion.. the Lord of the Rings. It seems so predictable and obvious whats going to happen. The bad guys (Nazgul) seem a bit pathetic they get beaten by a couple of halflings in a remote dark mountain top..
and also computer generated graphics instead of decent old school models, just like the 1/10 scale colony in Aliens
Computer generated stuff just looks rubbish in my opinion
My opinion on LOTR:
Good films, yes.
Re-watchable, no.
They're like the book; I loved reading it, but its so long and drawn out I will never read it again. And I agree with the CGI though I don't think they overdid it; they had great sets too.
um maybe I didn't explain myself well enough.. I meant the book of the LOTR is overrated.. the story is so predictable. I thought the films were pretty good.. and as for Minas Tirith in the third film, I thought that was a really fantastic representation, but if it was actually a model like in the picture posted by 'Laufey' then it wasn't computer generated was it?? I'm no expert on CGI. I just know that the Alien films still look more realistic to me that than anything recent In my opinion.
I just remember watching films like Die Hard 4, Indiana Jones 4 etc thinking they just didn't have the quality of the original films primarily because they seemed to me to be 'lazy' and used CGI instead of old school good choreography and scale modelling. Plus the CGI enhanced charachters, for example Gollum, just don't seem real enough to me.

Harry Potter Franchise, because everything about it is irrational and illogical (and that comes out from an ex-harry potter fan).
I agree with this.. Harry Potter seemed like that to me too.. perhaps it has too much imagination and doesn't mix it with enough brutal realism. I'd say thats why the first two Alien films were so succesful because they actually felt like they could be real, within reason.

Except Die Hard 4 actually bucked the trend and went back to trying to use as much practical effects as possible, wherever possible, so if you cant tell the difference and think Die Hard 4 overused CGI then you really dont know what youre talking about.
Yep, Die Hard 4 (Live Free Die Hard) used very little CGI. The only scenes in which it's most prevalent is the John McClane vs. Fighter Jet sequence.
A few shots in the elevator sequence as well as the gas asplosiones.
I am still very impressed with the destruction of the truck and killing the chopper with the car.
Quoteum maybe I didn't explain myself well enough.. I meant the book of the LOTR is overrated.. the story is so predictable.

Theres probably CGI shots used all over the film, but mostly to accompany the live action stunts, not to replace them entirely.
erm well I only saw the film once, there was a bit where he was in a tunnel and there were cars flying around it just looked completely fake to me
Now that was CGI, but there is plenty of practical stuff in there as well.
I think that is one reason Die Hard 4 got a lot of love was because it went practical.
And the McClane-isms are gold.
"You just killed a helicopter with a car!"
"Thousands of people get killed by cars every year. That was like four more."

Thanks Jesus.
Stories are metaphors. If you treat them like non-fiction, generally speaking, you're missing the point. I'm far from the world's biggest Harry Potter fan, but denouncing a piece of fiction for not being
logical is garbage.

No.
The entire background, the entire "base" on which the universe is built and premises that shape the story that define itself. I suppose, it is because the world of Harry Potter is set in a way that is different from ours,
but that is not the problem. The problem is when you try to connect a world based upon something not similar with functionality of our world, and then put in elements from our world to make it feel "realistic".
Imagine a car (reality) and a horse (imagination). You can not cut off legs on a horse and put a V8 engine on its back in order for it go fast, or to go at all since you cut the leggs. Same thing with Harry Potter. If you think that it is based on premises of our world (like gravity, it is a premise that force of gravity pulls things down), then Harry Potter will seem, very realistic. But if you change those premises and put in new premises (like magic) and
still have the same effect as of the "real World" then it just does not work.
Sure, by now this all sounds like bullshit, and I agree. So I will try and explain it.
For starters, lets take Voldemort and his little gang of magic supremasists.
Why is he evil? I mean, in our sence of evil? Why is he evil?
Okay, lets look at it. The premise of the world is: magic solves everything. There are no diseases, no need for resources, no religion. Okay... Why would anyone start killing anyone? I mean, you do not need wars, because you can use magic. You do not need medication, because there is magic. There is police force of some sort that stops magicians to use magic in a bad way. Okay, so there is basically no gain in going around killing people, because anything you could gain from that is allready accessable without the need to kill them. And if you do so, you will get hunted because you, well, killed someone. And that is wrong, okay I agree, even with magic, we are still humans and have emotions. But seriously, if there nothing else to do, seen as you do not really need to work, I am surprised (highly) that the Voldemort and the gentlemen in white masks are the
only ones who are actually killing people. Because seriously, most of people (and I am speaking from
real world statistic) get pretty f@ckin borde when there is no need to do anything for years. That is the reason why rich people do drugs, drive fast cars and die in accidents (have a kid with a home-clean, yea Im looking at you Arny). In their situation, life is so boring they do not have any need for anything. Or have you studied the ancient rome? Life there was so good, they needed entertainment cause they had nothing else to do. Hence the gladiators. Or why do you think video games are such a pfenomenon? Especially in the western world? Because we want to kill things. Counter Strike, Battlefield, Call of Duty. We need to kill stuff (so you better be happy that we live in times of DVD-players and X-Box 360)
So why is Voldemort evil? You see, in our world, you have a choose. Make honest living or steal, kill, blackmail. In the World of Voldemort you too have a choose, kill, steal, blackmail, or do
nothing at all. I think that many people given the choice of doing something bad or doing nothing at all, would choose to do something bad. Because human is a surviver, and in a world where there is no need to survive, people will do crazy stuff, just for the sake of having something to do.
Voldemort is not evil, he is just... bored. So it does not work to try and make him look and feel evil on screen, or in the book for that matter. He is just bored. He does not kill his victims for money, or power. He is simply bored.
I am basing all the above statements on several readings of the books (yes, when I was a Harry Potter fan I use to read every book like 3-4 times) and most of the movies.
And that is "only" the Voldemort part.... As I said, every aspect of the entire story is a huge contradictionary within itself to itself.

No. I am describing
absence of logic in a fantasy book based around
people using magic. If you do not even know what the book is about, I suppose you know as much about irony as I do.
EDIT: sorry for the second post, but i did not see this message untill i finished writing previous post.
That's overanalysis of minutiae, not logic. Voldemort isn't bored, he wants to live forever. Everything he does is in the interest of achieving immortality. He's highly motivated throughout the series, especially since he's effectively dead for the first half.
Try again.
Voldemorts just some pussy who wishes he was Sauron.

Fellowships the only one I consistently come back to.
Towers just seems longer, even though it isn't. And you have to allocate a portion of your existence on this earth to watch Return.
And...that can't be done?
Can be.
But it's something many aren't willing to do.
I'll sit through The Seven Samurai, despite being three and a half hours long. But there's too much in LOTR that I don't care for to justify sitting through them with any consistency.
That all being said I disagree with whoever says they're overrated.
I can sit through King Kong without any problems though that's because it interests me more than LotR.

Wham there you go. Wrong. I remember thinking that myself when I saw it. When I watched the special features I was shocked to find out that again alot of that scene was practical, and the money shot with the car flipping through the air and smashing into the two cars either side of the characters? Practical. Obviously they werent actually in the shot, but placed into it afterwards and CGI was used to add debrris and make everything look better but the actual meat and bones of the mayhem was all practical as was the helicopter getting taken down by the car.
Dont believe me, then take a look at this. Its a good read actually, showing how that entire scene was shot and put together.
http://www.studiodaily.com/filmandvideo/currentissue/8289.html (http://www.studiodaily.com/filmandvideo/currentissue/8289.html)
Just goes to show, all these people whining about CGI in films really cant tell the difference when its done right, but they complain anyway because they think its CGI. How can it look fake and CGI if its real?
Of course they used CGI in those scenes to enhance the visuals, every film does now, but the majority of that scene was done practically, and if it was too dangerous to have the actors in the shot, they filmed it twice and merged the two so they appeared as though they were in the shot. They did it with the car flipping and smashing into the two cars, they did it with the truck slamming into the concrete pillar and they did it with the helicopter getting hit by the car.
The biggest use of CGI for an action scene was obviously the Jet Fighter scene at the end but even then alot of the closer shots looked real as though Willis was on some sort of rig enhanced with CGI ( for the scenes when hes actually on it)and I wouldnt be suprised if that was the case after they went to so much effort to stage all the other big stunts practically.

Why, exactly? It's a style of Fantasy called 'Realistic Fantasy' or just 'Magic Realism'. Take a context that is perfectly realistic and BAM, put in there supernatural stuff. There's nothing irrational or illogical about it, always taking it contextually.

'Cos he kinda wants to be the most powerful mage of all and also dominate the world of magic; kind of like a dictator. Acquire a following, kill who's against you, acquire LOL LOTS OF POWAH. He's like that. That's why we see him as evil. Also following your analysis, which I kind'a don't agree with, Voldemort can be seen as evil because he wants to kill (pun completely intended) his boredom with all that jazz of power.

I just find it weird, because the only way I can consistently enjoy that film is if I fast forward about an hour.
The problem I have with the magic in Harry Potter isn't that it's fused with the real world; it's that she just makes it up as she goes along. Written yourself into a corner? BAM! New spell. Problem solved.
It's like a deus ex machina in every film.
It is clear to me that none of you will change your opinion and neither will I. I expected this, and therefore I never really started to explain why I think Harry Potter is irrational and illogical until I was asked to. So, you have seen my reasons (at least one of them) and I am not going to explain them further as i can not change your mind (that goes to all of you).
I find Harry Potter overrated, THE END.
Don't care if you don't like it. It's your reasoning (or lack thereof) I take issue with.

Naomi Watts was great in it, and it was seemingly thankless; probably her best role. But it was the soundtrack, man. My memories swell around the soundtrack.

James Newton Howard did an amazing job on the score, yes. The part which plays when they trip to the island is great.
I watched King Kong for the first time in years yesterday. The whole section in which the crew is attacked by the tribe/Ann is abducted + sacrificed is still rocks my socks. Shit is intense.

The problem I have with the magic in Harry Potter isn't that it's fused with the real world; it's that she just makes it up as she goes along. Written yourself into a corner? BAM! New spell. Problem solved.
It's like a deus ex machina in every film.
I want Hermione to give Ron the herps, and we'll see how he fixes that.

and tell him he got it off Harry.
Damn I missed the Harry Potter talk!
Personally, I think it's rubbish. Why? 'It's not my cup of tea.'
A lot of my friends love the series with a passion and have read all the books and think its fkn amazing. Good on them. Most of them also started with Harry Potter when they were young, like <15y/o. I watched the movies as a 25 year old man without the excitement of Nostalgia and it provided nothing for me. Bored my pants off.
Then again I'm sure there are plenty of people that got into the series as an adult and love it equally to someone that grew up with Harry and watched him progress as a character. Good on them too.
What I hate is when people think you're mad for not loving an annoying little git that waves his wand around is supposed to be the shit, with a pompous friend who grew up to be half decent if she doesn't open her mouth, and a ranga that is useless in 99% of situations.
I can't expect everyone to love a rastafarian hunter that will wear your spine as jewelry or a biomechanical nightmare that will either rape you or rip you apart or both at the same time, so why do so many Harry Potter fans try and ram it down your throat?!?!?!

Dudes, it's all about Naomi Watts when seeing that film.
Giant Apes and Dinosaurs duking it out? Kewl stuff man, but Naomi Watts is just... superb.
She didn't do too much for the better part of the film. Heck, her dialogue is pretty minimal the entire she's on the island.
Dialogue isn't everything - I mean, come on, what would she say? I thought she carried all the Kong scenes pretty damn well, especially the one where she juggles.
Shit was awesome.

Well just watch the extended cut. Its only 15 minutes longer and half of that time is the scene with the Piranhadon and the other 7 or 8 minutes are mostly new action scenes or extended action sequences anyway.

I remember seeing that quickly in one of the trailers. Guess they had to cut it, considering the film was already considered too long without it.

Turns out it's a land crocodile, though the young live in and around water sources like normal crocs until they're about 6-7 foot in length.

L.A. Noire
It's an excellent game, but I felt there's not enough icing on the cake to come back for a second helping. Outside the main cases, L.A. is a boring and lonely place...
I've got an idea, let's put an alien being that has a cloaking technology and likes to hunt humans for the lulz, just to spice things up a bit.
Maaan. I'm a genius.

It just doesn't make some posts more bearable. :-\
I think that LOST is a tad bit overrated; I watched maybe half of the first season, I know, but my interest for it just died. It... I dunno, its 'magic' had no effect whatsoever on me.
LOST was never good.
it was all basically a M. night Shamaylan movie.
Except the goodness of films like The Sixth Sense.
Prison Break was a great show at first but it became highly overrated after season 2. It went full circle in terms of what happened. Season 3 was just a rehash of season 1.
I thought Season 2 was the best anyway.
Season 3 was my least favorite, but really I never saw a true steep decline in the show's quality (though most would argue that after they... actually got out of prison at the end of season 1 [amazing scene], that the show lost it's meaning-- whereas I see it as being the show's evolution).
Honestly, I'd put this in the Underrated, Underappreciated, Underrocognized thread. As well as Robert Knepper. Christ, how had seemingly nobody noticed the amazing job he had done with his character one that show? It's like James Callis with BSG... okay, maybe not that intensely underappreciated, but pretty close.
Oh, no doubt. All the acting was top-notch from everyone involved. But let's be honest, Season 3 was Season 1, only more violent.
James Callis? For Underrated, Underappreciated, Underrecognized thread? I think you are right. Gaius Baltar character was one of the best developed characters I've ever seen. I love how Callis did it. So emotionally complicated, but so clear and understandable. What's the shame that people love only ordinary, simple, easy heroes. Gaius was... unique. :)
And handsome... :D

I find the show very similar to Blade Runner... just in space. The themes, pacing, characters, and visual style to some degree is very much inspired by BR-- which, if you really don't like BSG, it would seem you would have a reason not to like Blade Runner. And no, I don't see this as a "deciding factor", just a similarity or link.
You've also mentioned that you think the show lacks the charm of the original series... which really shouldn't matter in the judgement of the show. It seems as if you went in expecting it to be similar to the first.

Still pretty shit, but you get a bit more of an idea.
QuoteYou've also mentioned that you think the show lacks the charm of the original series... which really shouldn't matter in the judgement of the show. It seems as if you went in expecting it to be similar to the first.
And yet the only reason I watched it in the first place was because I liked the original and was interested to see what they'd done. If it wasn't a remake I doubt I would've watched it at all - and you'd be a lot less busy defending it.
The new one didn't just lack the charm of the original - it lacked charm period. And the times I returned to it to try watching it again only confirmed my previous opinion.
But of course I didn't watch enough of it to form an opinion...
I just find it a shame; if you watched more and eliminated hope for a BSG remake in the show you would have liked it, I'm sure.
So yes, now we'll continue our creaking cycle of you attempting to spread the word of how shitty the show is every time I mention how great it is.
In fairness to SM the new BSG is overrated, and I say that as someone who likes it. Fans tout it as the best television show ever, and go on endlessly about how deep, mature and complex it is. It is all of those things but it gets blown out of proportion due to the fact that its something nerdy teenagers will have the patience to watch -robots and spaceships f**kyeah-, and it exposes them to new ideas. Good television sure, but no where near as good as some people say it is.

Allow me to just step out of the way of that camp for a moment...
...there we go. Anyways, I've been much more exposed to other films/novels similar to BSG before I actually got the opportunity to watch it, so I'd just like to seperate myself from that category. Still a teenager, yes, but I'd like to think that my exposure to other such things benefits me. :laugh:
The concepts/ideas were nothing new to me, but it's execution, setting, and characters were of course. That said, I completely agree with you. Maybe not that it's overrated (that may be because I was never a victim of hype or praise before watching), but on the subject of some of the audience-- even though full-grown adults I've spoken to share the exact same opinions as I do.

yeah i did that, and your response was as i expected, you've still got a dork Bonner for the original,
Admittedly i was too young to get the original i vaguely remembered the robotic dog and the vipers ( which i was convinced was starwars at the time) yeah but i remember this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxpetOc638Q# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxpetOc638Q#)
Hence when the remake was announced i avoided it like the plague, i eventually got convinced to watch a little, the little i watched was the episode "33" and if you found that boring you have to be a A.D.D crackbaby..... jussaying.
I don't think its best thing since sliced bread, but in comparison to what existed in terms of scifi television at the time, it was generally well written and very character motivated something seldomly done with any panache in the genre imho.
I'm hardly a Fanboy as sweeper can attest that i despise most of season 4, and 4.5, roughly around the time Jane Espenson jumped on board funnily enough.
No rage, just epic face palms as it deserves a hefty amount of praise for what it was and what it was trying to be.

The first one had me until Lucy Liu chopped that dude's head off and we had the fire hose of blood. It went from the realism of Tarantino's earlier flicks to flat out comical farce right there.

Kill Bill took place in a world where airplanes come equipped with samurai sword holders. It was definitely over the top, but I thought that was kind of the point.
Tarantino will never top Pulp Fiction, and that's okay.
You not seen Reservoir Dogs?
Who, me? 'Course I have.
Man a handful of posts too late, but I'll defend BSG like it's my child ;D. I think it is the best thing since sliced bread. Every single character is interesting, every single episode ranges from good to jaw-dropping, and there's never been a show that's pulled me in like it. It's what any space, sci-fi, or even character-driven show would die to be, which is why it was critically acclaimed through all 6 seasons it aired. Time magazine named it best show on television in 2005. Are you guys even watching the same show?
I started watching it because I was excited for some space combat, but kept watching it because the first few episodes brought tears to my eyes.
I would continue, but I'm going to go watch more of it right this second. So say we all.
I only thought Death Proof was overrated. Tarantino is one of my favorites.

Kill Bill and Death Proof were over-rated though. The latter particularly.
Bah Kill Bill isn't overrated. It's simply more exposed than the others.
It ranks up there with both Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
I agree... 100%

Back in the mid-late 1990s I worshipped at the altar of Tarantino.
The problem with Kill Bill, was that it went too far in stealing stuff from other films, and seemed too much in love with all the stuff it was stealing and saying 'Look how clever I am', rather than having a tighter narrative.
But as I said, I dug the second one. First one was meh.
Inglorious Basterds was the start of the way back, but even that nearly lost me towards the end.

Depends how you see it; two of the four were split into two parts, but followed the same basic narrative line, so that had them branded as four. In terms of regular episodes, it would be six.

I think I'm in love with that gif.
Oh yeah.
Gif winning.
Tarantino's films are always much debated. Wasn't Kill Bill supposed to be a samurai movie in the fashion of the old black and white samurai films of the 60's and 70's? I'm not sure how much he used from others, I've seen a few... Yojimbo is one of my favorites.
Splain!
Kill Bill is Frankenstein's monster, only instead of body parts Q used bits and pieces of old chambara movies and spaghetti westerns. Too many too list, but the main revenge premise is ripped from Lady Snowblood, the Ironside interludes are a reference to Death Rides A Horse, the yellow jumpsuit was a Bruce Lee costume, etc, etc. Half the fun of Kill Bill is noting what he stole from and why.
There was a Yojimbo reference in the first one. 'Go home to your mother' is taken straight out of the finale. Uma Thurman makes a fine Toshiro Mifune.

inglorious basterds was excellent, its up there with anything his done, i'd say curmudgeon would fit better than hipster.
I like one and a half Tarantino movies -- Reservoir Dogs, and half of Pulp Fiction.

Well yeah, both films are full of rather weird -or extreme- death or damage scenes. Always in the first there's the Bride chopping off Lucy Liu's scalp, or in the second she plucks out Daryl Hannah's eye and then squishes it under her foot (now that was the top in both of the films!). I've not had an excessive problem with gore in those two films when I usually do when there's more than a certain extent, for some reason. Felt that in those two films it served a reason.

Anything that doesn't involve Bruce Willis or Samuel L. Jackson I don't care for.
I loved Ving though too. Couldn't stand Uma and Johns scenes aside from the whole adrenalin to the heart scene which was what, 5 minutes?
Ving's not really seen without Willis, though, is he? Basically I'm the same -- the Uma and Travolta scenes I don't care for.

The violence wasn't the issue. It was the comical fire hose of blood. It had the same level of realism up to that point of other Tarantino flicks. When there was blood in them, it wasn't a huge geyser. That second film lacked that level of excess, and was a better watch.

Any part with the detective was the best part. Gotta be in my top 10 villains of all time.
I found Deadspace a bit overrated, it's good but Doom was still better. Maybe if I played Deadspace 2 then I like it more then the first game.
I'm trying to finish the first one, heard the second one is epic. I'm playing it on hard and it's, well, bloody hard :laugh:.

Same, I didn't really care for the first when I first came out. The second one though far exceeded my expectations and actually made me jump, and get creeped out.
I was the opposite. The second game had few scary moments to me, especially since it still relies on "BOO" tactics.

Yeah, I wasn't too scared with Dead Space 2, because there's a certain expectation of what you'll face from playing the first game. But the scene in Dead Space 2 when Issac had to go back into the Ishimura, I found very effective. Great sense of tension and creepiness.
I never played DS, but I just finished DS2. The atmosphere was great, and I don't mind "boo" tactics, they're pretty much the only way a game is going to get my heart going. It is a great game, but I don't think its as good as some people make it out to be. I still prefer the res evil series.
F.E.A.R is another game that I thought it was overrated. I had for the 360 back in 2008 and I never got into it, I thought it would be the next Doom or Resident Evil but I just found my self just walking around doing nothing most of the time.
I would like to put my vote down for the COD series especially MW
I like black ops but its the only thing any of my friends ever wanna play and I just really can't get into the MW stories
The best thing that came out of COD is zombs
Every CoD game post-MW is essentially the same with a few tweaks/additions. With the exception of WaW, that is.

As for the other...
*Sigh*
I like CoD games, and the stories can be entertaining (especially Black Ops, if you haven't played to the end, do, it's well done) but the combat is straight Michael Bay. The non-stop shooting from everywhere car-flying explosive chaos is just ridiculous, and most firefights aren't like that. Not to mention most people can't be shot every 4 seconds for an hour and be fine.
Play Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for some real gunplay, or possibly Battlefield if you don't get run over by a tank :D.
Code Geass's Guren Mark 2 and it's upgraded forms. Also stuff from Rebirth of Mothra 3.

The Golden Sun game series is hugely overrated IMO - dumbest games EVER. Best 2D RPG ever? No. Next?
Also I'd like to throw the live action Transformers movies to the wolves. I love Transformers, I have many toys (and I do admit I like the movie line toys) and I loved the series growing up but those movies are just... eesh. Especially the second one. That made AVP:R look like a work of Shakespeare.

Compared to the first game it is an actionized sequel. If you killed aggressively and killed every enemy with Leon you'd still end the game with 150 handgun rounds, and 60 magnum rounds, and with Claire you'd finish with 180 bolts, 100 handgun rounds, and at least over 20 GL rounds.

If anything, Resident Evil 3 was the more action oriented of the sequels that appeared on PS1 if you ask me. But at this point, with Resident Evil where it is now, can anyone look back at the original trilogy and say they weren't survial horror?
Well theres Revelations coming up with people who played it at E3 saying they were constantly running out of ammo, and that it was more like RE 1-CV in atmosphere, with RE 4/5 gameplay.

Largely due to the fact they are fairly solid styles and are usually the bare bones of the stand up and ground games.
They work sure, but there's a reason why the best guys in the game are either wrestlers or purists. They bring new things to the table and outwork that very basic combination.

That however, all sounds pretty positive, with the exception of all that "kill Leon" talk. As far as the continuity goes, which I know doesn't mean a whole lot, killing Leon at that point in the timeline would... pretty much balls everything up.
Killing Leon will be an option, you can kill characters and change the history of RE or not kill them and keep it the same, or just mix it up a bit. I won't believe it 100% until I play it though.

I feel need to bump this.
Megas XRL. It starts with unique, comedic and goofy premier. First few episodes hooked me up, but after too much of repetitiveness, it really bored me. The pattern is almost always same. Coop fights bad guys. In climax, he says why he is pissed off (The girl took Coop's spot few times). At the end, Coop accidentally screws things up. It is fun to watch these stuff in first few episodes but after that? It feels too redundant. Fortunately, the last two episodes redeemed for me even though the theme of "my otherself from other alternate universe" was overused before. And it also ended nicely with open ending. But still, those middle parts really bored hell out of me.

Feminism.
Yup, I said it.
The core ideals of equality and anti-mysogyny are something I wholeheartedly support, so in that sense I would call myself a feminist.
I feel you're talking about something else, though.
He's likely talking about the type of Feminism that is more akin to Female superiority than equality.
Which is something I don't think should be given the title of feminism. I hate it when a few (stupid) radicals detract from the majority of a movement, which is inherently a very noble and good thing.

I'm not sure if overrated is the word I would personally use for the Hobbit films (most of the general public seems to find them about average), but I will definitely say that they are not up to the quality of LotR, should have been just two films, and feature a lot of unnecessary padding (and Elf stuff).
Still enjoy them immensely, though. and 'dat Smaugggggg

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey based on 424,238 votes on IMDb: 8.1/10
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug based on 205,772 votes on IMDb: 8.2/10 (#203 on Top 250)
Honestly, they could have easily made one 3 hour long film for
The Hobbit. Each
Lord of the Rings book got a single 3 hour film (not counting the extended versions). And those books have a lot more weight to them.
Fair enough. Though I would still lean a bit more towards two films, so that they could keep Gandalf's shenanigans in Dol Guldur. His just disappearing for a chunk of the film like he does in the book would have been weird, and there's so much potential in there to set up some LotR stuff without detracting from Bilbo's journey. Gandalf's added scenes were probably the best changes to the book that the films made.
A lot of the other added stuff could go and I wouldn't have much of a problem. Especially invincible Elves. Legolas would have been a cool cameo since his father is an actual character in the story, but I can't say I'm particularly fond of what they did with him in the second film. I'm the same way with Azog the orc in the first film made for an interesting revenge story, but ultimately doesn't really seem necessary (and his bad CGI doesn't really help).

Surprisingly there are people who love that garbage but okay... it doesn't quite fit in with the others I mentioned.
Claiming that Jennifer Lawrence, Benedict Cumberbatch and Idris Elba are overrated is kind of overrated at this point.

Well, JB is a character was zero redeeming qualities, so I didn't feel I cared one bit about what happened to him during those 3 hours, although Scorsese tried to add some scenes at the end to make you a bit sympathetic towards him. The film essentially plays like a
GoodFellas remake to me, just with Wall Street suits instead of mob gangsters. Well made, but essentially
GoodFellas is by far the superior film.

Why?
My only interest in games is the ablitity to tell a story differently than any other medium, to diverge in different directions in a cinematic experience that makes the player that character. I have exceptions for games like Blood Dragon.
The problem in games like Super Smash Bros and The Elder Scrolls is that they have no story to tell or a weak one, they rely upon the player to get enough endorphins from the experience that it is enjoyable.
I could get the same from a board game, and that would likely have more social benefits. I just don't see the point in playing a game that has nothing to say and is closer to a commercial in terms of it's artistic contribution to the medium than actual high art.

That reminds me actually since you brought up those things. In nature and literature we watched a documentary called "Journey of the Universe" and it strongly implies that the universe has a conscience. I looked this up and this is actually a legit belief. Pantheism, the belief that the universe or nature as a whole is identical to divinity, or that everything composes an all-encompassing, immanent God. One name that shows up in Pantheism is none other than Albert Einstein.
Just mentioned that because I thought it was at least a really cool and interesting idea.
I think you mean "consciousness", because Nature definitely does not have a "conscience".
(It probably doesn't have a "consciousness, either).
I always get those two mixed up...
I need to make up my own fun way of distinguishing them more easily.

It was in the old times, when we did nothin' to nobody.

But then a thin-skinned and over-imaginative shadow loomed over Galaxy.It was called DC.Between thinking I was dumb sheep easily swayed by American propaganda for liking Starship Troopers, calling me a troll and troll admirer when he was getting upset at Mal for trolling him and I gave the him the friendly advice of ignoring Mal and moving on to greener grass, thinking I was attacking him when all I did was give a relevant opinion in a thread and of course not letting go of the fact I confused conscience and consciousness even though I admitted I made a mistake.
After following me around for a bit, I decided to fight back, if it was a trolling he wanted, it's a trolling he would get. Attacks were exchanged, alliances were formed and the war raged on across the forum. I soon knew that I had to go a step further, so I had then forged my weapon against him, Excalibus.Spoiler

The final day of the war was in The Battle of the Independence Day 2 Thread. He explained that he wanted a better movie than the first Independence Day, but his ideas was so damn similar to what another movie had done that I simply replied "War of the Worlds?". He then sent me a psychotic PM with bold and italics and shouting insults and wanting me dead or something.
That is when he was defeated once and for all by the Ban Hammer.Spoiler

Peace was restored to Galaxy and I had grown personally.
Somewhere in the middle of this conflict I saw in him my past self (but worse). I asked myself "Damn was I that whiny and thin-skinned towards petty imagined slights in my own past conflicts with others?" That is when I started to actively make choices that would better myself where I had gone downhill in the past. This gave me my greatest strength against DC and my character had grown. I believe SiL even put my whole post about it I made during the conflict into the Galaxy Quotes thread, but mods intervened and took it down (though strangely enough not in the thread where it originated, forget which thread though).
Thee end.

That episode from Seinfeld has George backstage pitching ideas to George Wendt from Cheers and some other dude, and they both mention how stupid his ideas were on the actual show. George is in the audience, embarassed, because he knows that they're talking about him. Jerry does his standup and I think it went off without a hitch.

That's not anywhere near as good as the show itself. It's an unsuccessful amalgamation of two better entities: The original Seinfeld and Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.
That commercial is overrated. The shows themselves are not.
I've tried, on 6 separate occasions, to get into Seinfeld. My family LOVES it, and a good portion of my peers do too.
But it never ever ever got even a chuckle out of me.
Hell, I got hooked on both Frasier and The Golden Girls by accidental T.V. surfing. I tried with Seinfeld.
Did you start at Season 1?
yep yep yep yep.
Like with Frasier, every summer at some point they play the entire series out over the course of an entire month. So like I did with Frasier, I waited so I can start at the very beginning. Given, this was on attempt 4 or 5, but still.
Season 1 of Seinfeld is the worst. They hadn't gotten into the groove of things yet and the writing still needed to be improved/polished up. Season 2 is slightly better. I pretty much start all my re-watches at Season 3 and skip those first two seasons entirely. Season 3 onward is great. With Frasier it was great from the get go because the writers (and most of the actors) were already television veterans (with Cheers and whatnot), whereas Seinfeld was the very first show for both Jerry and Larry David.
The stand up bits have really aged though.

Season 1 of Seinfeld is the worst. They hadn't gotten into the groove of things yet and the writing still needed to be improved/polished up. Season 2 is slightly better. I pretty much start all my re-watches at Season 3 and skip those first two seasons entirely. Season 3 onward is great. With Frasier it was great from the get go because the writers (and most of the actors) were already television veterans (with Cheers and whatnot), whereas Seinfeld was the very first show for both Jerry and Larry David.

I guess I'm just a tad spoiled then. All of the sitcoms I have watched were established greats from the get-go,
Like Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, and The Golden Girls. So I guess when Seinfeld had that rocky start, I just couldn't stay with it :P
The Golden Girls!?!?! :laugh: Jesus, Aspie. :laugh:
I WILL NOT LIE, IT IS MY SECOND FAVORITE SITCOM EVER.
Holy crap I miss them. :'(

This is most unexpected.
It's just a really, really, really great sitcom. Watched my first episode when I was sick, and it came on after Everybody Loves Raymond. I didn't want to watch it, but my remote fell on the floor and I was too sick to move, so I left it on the channel thinking it might just put me to sleep.
lolnewp, had to watch moarrrrr

3rd Rock from the Sun and

But since this is the overrated thread... errr...
How I Met Your Mother: 3 seasons of okay humour followed by shitty, dragged-out, recycled, over-angsty, frustratingly dull episodes and the "big reveal" of the mother which is an actress who looks like Jennifer Love Hewitt (and has as much range from the bits I've seen). Lulz. And then there's still going to be a spin-off.

If you like Louis CK as a comedian I'd say so. I don't know what your sense of humour is like, or which comedians you enjoy the most. It most certainly is not a happy-go-lucky, skip and a cheer comedy like alot of the ones we've been talking about.
Well, I also like dry and dark humour so if it's anything like that, I might find myself liking it. And the same goes for if it's heavily grounded in reality and mixed in with slices of life.
Then you'll love it. ;D It's one of my favourite shows, comedy or otherwise. Here are some clips of a few scenes, to give you a sense of what it's like.

This is one of the best sitcoms of all time. Seinfeld is also awesome. Hell, I think it's the best sitcom ever.
Seinfeld also created two of the greatest and most influential (in terms of influencing other sitcoms) characters of all time.
Star Wars.
Hailed as one of the greatest Sci-Fi franchises, if not THE greatest Sci-Fi franchises out there. Sure back in the 1970s, it has revolutionized Science Fiction storytelling as well as special effects but damn it.. It's been put on such a pedestal that it's become a sacred (cash) cow in the world of pop culture!
And now there's a rumor going around saying that Disney wants to put a Star Wars movie out every year.. We're looking at maybe 40 years of Star Wars movies.. Good Christ, and people say the franchise isn't oversaturated? Give me a break!
The original trilogy kicks ass.
When you have a whole galaxy to explore its a little harder to oversaturate. That said, hopefully the new movies aren't mediocre like the prequel trilogy.

Yep.
Star Trek is the sci-fi one.
Speaking of Trek, I wonder when we're going to start getting some info on the next film. Really looking forward to that.
Is J.J. doing the third one, or did they hand it off to someone else? I'd imagine it would be a while before we got info, since he's tied up with Star Wars at the moment.
Unless something changes between now and then, it's supposed to have a new director.
Though I honestly wouldn't be surprised if each Star Wars film in the new trilogy has a different director (at the very least, the spin-off films will likely not be handled by Abrams) so I guess there's always a chance he could come back to Trek after Episode VII.
I just feel like anything picking up after Abrams in a shared universe is going to feel out of place due to how active and identifiable his style is.

Are you talking about Trek or Wars (or both) there?
With Trek, I'd very much like to see him do at least one more film (something just feels right about films coming in threes), but Trek is admittedly the type of property that can go on forever and change hands every time. The franchise is entirely speculative of what the future holds in relation to contemporary beliefs, fears, and opinions, and it's interesting to see different takes on that future.
With Star Wars, my thought process is much more clouded, mostly because I'm still very torn on the existence of an
Episode VII in the first place. As it is now, the Star Wars saga is something that is (and always will be) very close to my heart, something that I have loved from very early in my childhood that will never go away. The six films work perfectly in harmony (and in contrast) with one another in the story that they tell. I could gush for hours on end about just what the movies mean to me and how powerful the story is, but in the end it would just turn into a rant that nobody really wants to hear or read. :P But because of that sense of finality that comes with the completed six film saga, I find it hard to completely embrace an
Episode VII at all, and handing the reigns of the story over to the business-minded House of Mouse rather than seeing it continue on in the hands of George Lucas makes it all the harder. But if there was only one thing that has me genuinely excited for what the future holds, it is J.J. Abrams. I really do think that he is the perfect man for the job, and it's not even his take on Star Trek that put me in that mindset. It was actually
Super 8, and his passion for film and his 'mystery box' and his unique sense of style and that really fantastic quality as a person and a director that just seems apparent every time I watch or read about the guy doing what he does. So I am putting a lot of faith in him with Star Wars, and would absolutely love to see his vision for the saga continue forward if
Episode VII is as good (and respectful of what came before without turning into a rehash of what the 'fans' want to see) as it could potentially be.
Ahhh, I said I wasn't going to rant :D

It's kinda hard to describe.
That's because it taste like ice cream and you don't want to admit it!
Na frozen yogurt is tops brah's dat yogurt tang doe.
I just looked at it and always thought it was some hipsters way of calling ice cream ice cream.

Peanut butter.......yech.
I've actually never had frozen yogurt. Never really cared for regular yogurt, so I just figured I wouldn't like that either.
There used to be a frozen yogurt place right next door to where I work. They were crazy expensive, though, and only lasted a little over a year.
Frozen yogurt is basically glorified ice cream. Try it.
At least somebody admits it.
It's got probiotics in it, so you can delude yourself into thinking it's healthy. :)

Star Wars died in 1997 as far as I'm concerned. Abrams has his work cut out for him with Episode VII.
Star Wars never really "died" for me. Even if the prequels aren't as strong as the original trilogy, I still find them incredibly fun to watch and they still add a richness to the world. I even like Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
When Star Wars: Episode VII was announced, I wasn't too thrilled initially but I'm curious to see the end result. I would have personally loved to see another director take it on but it's not like I was begging for a new Star Wars film anyway - so I'll give it a chance. But my expectations are really low.

To me, at this point, I can't have the Originals without the Prequels, and vice versa. They work in tandem with one another beautifully, with their differences in tone and style being just as important as their similarities. On a visual level alone (the sleek and shiny old world of the Prequels eventually changing into the blocky Imperial constructs of the Originals) the progression of the story from one trilogy is fantastic to watch, never mind the thematic changes that the characters and the world itself undergo. I absolutely love, for example, how everything seems shifts gears between
Revenge of the Sith and
A New Hope, but the seeds have been planted from the very beginning. The old Republic of the Prequels becomes the evil Empire of the classic films, but the implication that it has been operating that way since the beginning of
The Phantom Menace resonates all along. Similarly, the Confederacy that we hate for opposing the supposedly diplomatic government in the Prequels eventually forms the basis for the freedom-fighting Rebels of the Original Trilogy in their conquest to end the Empire's corrupt rule of the galaxy. What seemed so black and white all along is actually coated in gray. It's fascinating to really put all of this into perspective.

Absolutely! I find it rewarding to look at Star Wars as a whole. Looking at the bigger picture, everything works - on a visual and tonal level. It feels like one rich experience to me. Even if one film may be substantially darker than the previous film, the shift works well. With so many strong opinions on how much the prequels suck, I've still never seperated them from the original trilogy or felt any sense of disconnect. As one big story, it works. And even though they're largely regarded as sci-fi classics, there are so many genres one could fit Star Wars into. And all of it works.
My only issue with Star Wars would be with George Lucas himself. And that's an entirely different topic.

Oh, it improves? I'm 4 episodes in and I'm thinking "How in the f**k did this create the absolute jizzstorm that it did?". It's not a terrible show, but it's not great either (except animation wise). I guess I'll keep watching...
If you hate it, maybe there's no point in carrying on. I felt that it improved quite a bit in later episodes but I was already having fun with the show from the start. So there's a good chance it won't win you over.
What didn't you like about what you've seen so far?
The dialogue is just... :o
The show's repetitive thus far (go away, come back, go away, come back more powerful, animated vagina squeeze aaaaaand....FIGHT!). The voices grate, the story is pretty lame, and the bad guys seem more interested in posturing and monologuing than actually killing Ryuko ('HEY, you killed one of our council members! Go ahead, leave. We'll be here if you feel like returning').

I sorta agree with what you said. People should keep their expectations in check with Ep VII. Coming from Disney, I expect it to be similar to the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy in tone. For good and for worse.

Honestly, I'm expecting to like Episode VII a lot less than Episode I. So if it's on the same level or even a little better, I'd be pleasantly surprised.
And, while I loved Pirates of the Caribbean (the first 3 anyway), I am worried that you're right that it could be similar in tone. Although a full length Star Wars movie focused on Jar Jar Binks would probably feel similar in tone to one of the Pirates movies. :P Thankfully there's no solo Jar Jar film. (Their might be a "Solo/Jar Jar" film but that would probably be digging deep into the world of XXX parodies.)

Maybe they AREN'T interested in killing Ryuko -- maybe they have more important things to deal with. Hmmm.
Yeah, the earlier eps are a bit repetitive. But that gets thrown out the window once the series mytharc kicks in.

So you cite one scare-mongering crackpot snake oil site, Harvard, who says don't drink milk if you're lactose intolerant (duh) or that too much calcium can be bad. Uh, no shit. Then one site that you obviously didnt read because it blatantly contradicts you:
"The truth is that observational studies often give a mixed bag of results and they can't be used to prove anything.
That being said, there are many more observational studies showing beneficial effects than there are showing no effect."
You're incredibly gullible and naive if you believe this "MILK ROTS YOUR BONES" shit.
Maybe its a feminist conspiracy though.

Similar issues at the start, although it is quite charming and fresh enough, the repetitiveness is mostly genre trappings, and it does improve, is it the saviour of TV and entertainment no, but it is pretty fun I enjoy the monologuing /stopbeingabitch

The prequels certainly had their own fair share of practical sets/costumes/effects. Anyways, George was always about innovating pushing the limits of the tech at his disposal in order to tell the stories that he wanted to tell and create the worlds that he wanted to create. He did it with the originals, and he did it again with the prequels. It's hard to fault him for using CGI.

I highly doubt Episode VII is going to use less CGI than the prequels. In fact, I'm betting on seeing a lot more CGI being used. And there were some stunning practical effects used in the prequels - thanks NA!
No problem. There's a ton more pics here (http://boards.theforce.net/threads/practical-effects-in-the-prequels-sets-pictures-models-etc.50017310/). :)
Also, Gilfryfd, you brought up the fact that Episode VII is going to be shot on film. But really, is that going to ensure the apparent quality you're looking for? I mean, The Phantom Menace, the Episode of the Saga most hated by the general public, was shot on film as well.

He and a lot of other, much more talented people (especially on Empire and Jedi). On the prequels, he was large and in charge, and it shows.

Yeah, Naboo in particular is absolutely gorgeous.
I also find myself really impressed with the Kamino and Mustafar miniatures from
Attack of the Clones and
Revenge of the Sith, respectively. Kamino has always been my favorite planet in Star Wars.

Looks like they used less CGI and more greenscreen/miniatures than i thought, I'll give them that. Doesn't change the poor script and wooden acting though. :D
TPM and
AOTC will always feel like the setup & exposition story that Lucas had to tell, in order to get to the story he
really wanted to show us with
ROTS.
Too bad ROTS brought along all that poor scripting and wooden acting as well :P

Flappy Bird is overrated.
Never cared for it.
Ya really.
I find it hard to see how it's overrated when nobody thinks the game is all that great. The majority of people think it's shit. It may be popular but overrated it's not.
Perhaps the word you're looking for is over recognized.
Flappy Bird was just your run-of-the-mill side-scrolling mobile game where you tap the screen to avoid obstacles. It did have a lot of people playing it but I would hardly say it was overrated. Nobody was calling it the pinnacle of gaming or even mobile gaming for that matter. My favourite game in that "genre" is Jetpack Joyride - far better than Flappy Bird. Follows a similar concept but actually has a few elements that make it interesting and a nice way to pass the time if you're waiting for something and bored.
You kids and your mobile phones. In my day we went outside. Played in the SNOW.

Brown can write decent thriller material when he really tries, but his characters aren't something to get excited about. The only thing Langdon seems to be doing across the books, is being on the run from some baddies, while he suddenly puts all the pieces of the puzzle together on page 376 and hence, only then justifies why he's in the story in the first place.
I might just have liked Deception Point and Hidden Fortress better than his Langdon centered stories. Better main characters, but not by much...
Anywayyy... point was, that I've borrowed Inferno long ago and it's about time I give it back...
I actually liked Inferno. Like you said the characters are nothing special. However I do enjoy his descriptions about famous places. I am always looking up to see what the hell he's talking about. Makes me want to visit Europe some day.

What the f**k does awkward taste like? You sound like a demented serial killer who lives in basements lit by morgue lights, muttering to himself things like "Pencils taste like embarassment...ooh, pizza tastes like befuddlement".
Milk Chocolate is amazing. It's not "awkward", it's not "Awful", it's amazing. Toblerone is made of milk chocolate. Ferrero Rocher is made out of milk chocolate. Colonel Gadaffi's wintertime palace in Geneva was made of
milk chocolate. Therefore milk chocolate is objectively amazing and you can suck my milk chocolate covered balls.
If anybody says Ferrero Rocher is overrated, I might get stabby.
who
He's a famous Spanish actor. He never broke into Hollywood like Antonio Banderas, but he should have.
Not sure if joking... but if you haven't tasted it, you're missing out on one of life's best pleasures.

If you ever go to Europe (and it might be the only time you'll do it), make sure Rome is on the top of the list of places to visit. We have
nothing like it in Northern Europe. Browns descriptions are pretty accurate, although I challenge the idea that a murderer can just transport and leave bodies completely unnoticed at famous churches and water fountains, you know, places that are usually crawling with a million tourists...

I can't stand coffee. I like the smell of it, but not the taste. In order for me to drink black coffee, I have to add heaping amounts of sugar to it and that isn't healthy. Besides, I'd rather be properly rested as opposed to being on a caffeine rush.
I accidentally had sugar in coffee once and thought it was disgusting. :-X
I have to have it either black or with just cream. Lately I've been leaning towards black.
Yeah, I avoid cream and milk as well. I don't eat dairy in general.
I do enjoy a specialty coffee though from Starbucks once in a blue moon. Their hot chocolate is pretty awesome too.

The only soda I drink is Sprite because its caffeine free. Caffeine is a definite migraine trigger for me so drinking something as a simple coke makes me hyper as shit since I very rarely have anything with caffeine in it.
They'd run into town in Dire Dawa and bring back coffee though because we were on 12 hour shifts in a pretty much stationary position and the urge to fall asleep was strong. So I drunk quite a bit even though it was nasty.

Anime. People go into it like the its the best GENRE of all time and ignore how bad and weird some of it is. I've had people recommend stuff like Attack on Titan, Akira, Ninja Scoll, Devil is a Part Timer and Panty and Stocking & Garterbelt calling them the best shows ever, and they all suck and they have no excuse for why they like them. The fans get weirdly obsessive and into it, and it seems like they only like certain shows BECAUSE they are anime and not because they are objectively good, and care more about visual style and animation quality that the goddamn story.
PS I heart Astro Boy and Cowboy Bebop and Hayao Miyazaki (well, most of Miyazaki, Ponyo is overrated too)
Also Lord of the Rings, Twilight, Game of Thrones and Vampire Academy. And Nostalgia Critic.

And I'm sorry, you need an 'excuse' to like something, even if its just "that chick is hot" or "the animation is good" (those aren't good excuses btw). I find it weird that people just like anime because they are into anime. Thats like me being into every film ever made because its a film and I'm a film geek.

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read. I get that you're trying to apply the weeb archetype of liking everything simply because it's from Japan, but aside from the odd minority, you're just implying that taste and standards are thrown out the window. You started with Attack on Titan and Akira and went to Panty & Stocking. If you think that fans of one of those is bound to like the other just because 'loljapan', you're insane.
Myself, the reason I like anime is because I started getting into it when I was already a huge fan of animation, most of which I'd been exposed to was Western, and luckily for me, I stumbled into a well of diverse series for an entire range of demographics, even those aimed at the youngest managing to maintain a high level of charm, energy, or at least a hook from episode to episode. It's good to have a backlog of what can be considered 'unrestrained animation'. But yeah, let's just go ahead and consider the entire medium "overrated, overappreciated, overrecognized".
Your counter-'excuse' is a pretty shit one itself.

Anime. People go into it like the its the best GENRE of all time and ignore how bad and weird some of it is. I've had people recommend stuff like Attack on Titan, Akira, Ninja Scoll, Devil is a Part Timer and Panty and Stocking & Garterbelt calling them the best shows ever, and they all suck and they have no excuse for why they like them. The fans get weirdly obsessive and into it, and it seems like they only like certain shows BECAUSE they are anime and not because they are objectively good, and care more about visual style and animation quality that the goddamn story.
PS I heart Astro Boy and Cowboy Bebop and Hayao Miyazaki (well, most of Miyazaki, Ponyo is overrated too)
Also Lord of the Rings, Twilight, Game of Thrones and Vampire Academy. And Nostalgia Critic.
I'm not a fan of anime primarily because I don't like the animation style. I'm also not a fan of the character drawings. They look like an amalgamation of sharp edges.

Anime isn't a genre. It's a medium. And every medium has 'bad' and 'weird' stories thrown in with the 'good'. Western animation, live action television, film, books, comics, video games, etc. Nothing is perfect.

Lots of people like things that other people hate. Some of my favorite movies aren't exactly crowd-pleasers. The 'excuse' for why I like them is simple... I like them, even if others don't.

Well, as with live action film and television, animation (be it 'anime' or 'Western animation') is primarily a visual medium. While an interesting and unique visual style should not be a substitute for story (it should instead enhance a story or be used to tell the story), it can make a poor story at least watchable. Same applies to comic books with fantastic artwork and a poor story or a film with mindblowing effects but a lackluster script. While it won't be the best example of its medium, it at least did something worthy of praise.
No insults. You guys know the rules.
That's no fun.

I've never reported a single user on this site. Even with a recent incident in another thread where somebody used an inappropriate and unnecessary slur. The moderators should know when to step in and handle a situation.
They didn't know what to do for TK. They only took action because a shit ton of people reported him.
I don't watch a lot of anime, it just isn't my preference.
What is considered anime though? I imagine there is multiple definitions depending who you ask.

In most circles anime is just Japanese animation. Technically since anime is just the word for cartoons in Japanese, any work of animation could be considered anime.

So if I said any animated work than Friendship is Magic or the Clone Wars could be considered a few. And if I said Japanese only than I've watched diddly squat?
I'm not sure I fully understand what you're trying to say, but if you had only watched Japanese animation, you haven't seen everything that animation can offer(works the other way around as well).
Panty and Stocking has now made it somewhat difficult for me to say what is and isn't anime.
For those who don't know, Panty and Stocking is a Japanese cartoon done in a very western style.
So it begs the question, what makes anime well anime. Where it originates from, or stylistic design choices?

I personally think The Avengers is extreamly overrated.
Was just talking to a friend about this yesterday, actually.
I still enjoy the film a lot, but on repeat viewings it does not hold up the same as it did on that initial viewing. I don't think it's bad, mind you, but it's not so much the special event that it was made out to be on release either. It's a good superhero movie, but rather than a big finale it feels more like a springboard that paved the way for a new set of interesting things that kind of go against the grain a little bit (IM3, CA:TWS, presumably A:AOU, and, dare I say it, AOS... and of course GotG, which in my opinion seems like it could and very well should be the best thing to come out of Marvel's slate).
My favorite memory of this film is and will always be the midnight showing where the whole theater was involved in the experience of it all. The laughter and the cheering and the shock experienced by that packed audience was really something special to be a part of, and I'll always cherish that memory.

I might agree. The old trilogy might be a little overrated but they were still good movies, while the new ones aren't doing it for me at all and I can't undestand how they can bring any hype to people.
Some artists overrated by pretentious people: Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, Denis Villeneuve, Darren Aronofsky and Alejandro Jodorowsky.

I used to like AngryJoe for his (long) video game commentaries, but then he moved to reviewing movies and he's really awful at it. He just doesn't seem to get or appreciate movies that don't have a gazillion explosions and fast paced action.

My thoughts exactly.
Burton's Batman movies are hideous. Keaton is a great Batman, but otherwise the movies are garbage
I was watching some of Batman Returns the other day. I was genuinely surprised that (rocket firing penguins aside) I once thought it a pretty cool flick. People hang shit on the Schumacher flicks - but Burton was very much heading in that direction already.

I loved the Burton and Shumacher movies as a kid, but as I got older they just seem silly. I hate how the Joker kills Batmans parents and in turn Batman creates the Joker. Yeah Burton laid the foundations, especially with Batman Returns. Catwoman's whole transformation is silly, she gets brought back to life by cats licking and chewing her fingers. Tim Burton is overrated in general, Beetlejuice aside

Thor learned that he was powerful without his hammer... then proceeds to spend Infinity War getting a new hammer... then proceeds to spend some of Endgame with two hammers
Loki learns to love his brother and forgive his father and do the right thing... then steals the tesseract anyway.

Yes, because Thor learned the incorrect lesson from the aftermath Ragnarok event,
and the "I'm unbeatable" belief lead to Thor's Infinity War's failure and then learning from it correctly lead to Thor's Endgame success.
It's excellent character development. But the relationship between Thor and Loki's always going to be the same,
they even point out as much during Ragnarok.
/The "perfect" unbeatable "Because I'm Batman." version of the character.
The world's greatest (mentally unhinged) detective please, no "the unbeatable predicted everything" nonsense.
Spoiler
It's zero character development. IW and Endgame negated all that character development in Ragnarok. Firstly by making his arc in IW all about getting a new hammer, whilst touching on the fact that he is suffering from PTSD because of the loss of his people, his parents, his brother (excellent scene between him and Rocket btw) and he fails to kill Thanos and resulting in the snap which leaves his severely depressed. But then Endgame completely s**ts all over it by turning his PTSD into a joke about his weight, and in the end he gives up ruling Asgard and pisses off into space. Everything built up in Ragnarok is negated by IW and everything built up in IW is negated in Endgame. Thats why I think Ragnarok is absolutely pointless by default, and that's before the cringe worthy humour
Daft Punk.
Avengers Endgame's handling of Thor Odinson, comedic overload and only a great development of the character by the end, I preferred the character during Ragnarok and Endgame.
I thought Thor,
should've been the one to undo the snap honestly.

He's totally right though. People grow up thinking it's a Disney fairytale and that love conquers all - when it's actually a very complex thing indeed. People also confuse infatuation, lust, obsession etc with love.
Warning others with an unpopular prediction... people who had disbelieved will still hate even when the prediction turns out to be right. I think it's a common belief that a good predictor would gain a lot of respect. Now a very good prediction is when it's something what most people don't expect. It wouldn't be that impressive if it's a common one. (And if you hear a prediction that used to be unpopular, but most people now already believe in, then it's usually too late to act accordingly). But predicting outcomes that are unpopular and contrary to what most people believe in isn't good for the social life (whether the prediction is about the economy, bitcoin, a sports game, etc.). Even when the prediction comes true, the hatred remains and they'll actually be more annoyed at being proven wrong. They'll think that they're being mocked. They'll become stubborn and try to believe that the outcome happened for different reasons, reasons that would support their views. They'll make false accusations about the person who proved them wrong. But in most cases, the outcome occurs long after the predictor has already become ostracized from the community and they lost contact. Thus, none of the people who used to disagree with the predictor would be able to acknowledge the predictor's credibility in person. The predictor would have to start all over with another group and make sure to be silent with the unpopular predictions.

But predicting outcomes that are unpopular and contrary to what most people believe in isn't good for the social life (whether the prediction is about the economy, bitcoin, a sports game, etc.). Even when the prediction comes true, the hatred remains and they'll actually be more annoyed at being proven wrong. They'll think that they're being mocked. They'll become stubborn and try to believe that the outcome happened for different reasons, reasons that would support their views. They'll make false accusations about the person who proved them wrong. But in most cases, the outcome occurs long after the predictor has already become ostracized from the community and they lost contact. Thus, none of the people who used to disagree with the predictor would be able to acknowledge the predictor's credibility in person. The predictor would have to start all over with another group and make sure to be silent with the unpopular predictions.

Rarely. It takes hours to install the DLC piece by piece.
But they sure were journeys worth taking, especially with a friend.
I've got nothing but good memories of them.
Maybe Borderlands is better when you play with friends, but the whole loot 'n' shoot mechanic bores me to tears. Also, shooting the same respawning enemies that are in fixed locations gets very tedious very quickly.

Looks can be deceiving. Just give it a try.
Borderlands was excellent.
Borderlands 2 I did find massively overrated. The Pre-Sequel was ace though.
I really like the setting, atmosphere and score in Borderlands.
The game itself is a piece of shit. I hate grind, I hate respawning enemies, basically if it'd been a linear shooter in the same setting I'd love it, but if fails on every level as an actual gameplay experience for me.
Also, you have these big open wastelands and all you encounter are enemies. You only encounter friendlies when they are in a fixed place. They will never move. I was so disappointed that you'll never cross any neutral or friendly people when exploring or help you out when you get attacked.
STALKER is from 2007 and has all that. Friendly stalkers roaming about, doing their thing and helping you out when you get into a firefight with bandit scum. Some are in a fixed position, but occasionally you will see enemies and animals crossing the map too. It makes the game feel alive.
That's why it's best with all the dlc and a buddy.

Yes and yes.
One has a strange sidestory about his creepy feelings towards his sister.
The others are too many and too similar.
Breaking Bad yes, The Wire no. One of the greatest shows I've ever seen.
I get it's a slow burn and tough to digest for some, but Breaking Bad is one of the best shows I've ever seen, so I heartedly disagree with that sentiment.
And Better Call Saul might even be better!
I partially agree, Breaking Bad is great.
I just don't care for the sequel/prequel though.
Breaking Bad is phenomenal.
Better Call Saul somehow managed to be even better.

Prejudice perhaps? It isn't over yet.
I went into BCS pretty opposed, really worried that it was going to be this awkward little footnote on Bad's legacy that amounted to basically nothing. What the show became has just gone above and beyond what I have ever seen most television, let alone a spinoff, do. It isn't over yet, for sure, but if they're able to keep up the quality of those first four seasons, man...
Also, the Emmy nomination list just came out and the fact that Rhea Seehorn doesn't have a lead actress nomination is utterly baffling given the quality of her work in season four.
I enjoyed BB to an extent, but felt is was a tad overrated.
I imagined BCS would be interesting, but lesser in quality or (at least) no better. I was wrong.
BCS is stomping BB into the dust. I think a lot of it has to do with the casting and the fact that we don't have to put up with Walt's annoying family anymore. It feels a tad more intelligent, a bit less juvenile, and a lot more serious than its predecessor. Mike, Gustavo and Hector have been taken to another level, and the characters of Chuck, Howard, Kim, and nacho have been beyond fantastic.
It has far surpassed my expectations.
I guess after Game of Thrones' ending, I'm cautious about incomplete series.
The Wire and Breaking Bad aren't bad, I just don't think it's as great as many people claim it to be.
It's even got to the point they're joking about the subject.

Joy of being a parent as it portrayed in movies
Let me explain: every time I see a movie trying to send message of "having kids is great" it shows one of 2 things
1. Scene of baby being born with a lot of sweat, pain and swearing. And in the end we hear baby's cry and expression of relief on mommy's face . Then someone gives child to her and we see close shot of newborn and it's so cute and helpless and somewhow already cleaned from all the shit. Mommy cries or smiles from hapiness and most of the times there's daddy standing nearby being happy too
2. Parents playing with little kids. Oh, it's SOOO MUCH FUN ! Oh look - it's thrown it's cereal on the floor ! SO funny :D Oh look -it's ridding daddy like a horse ! Weeeee :D Oh look - daddy's reading a fairy tale ! Awwwww :D
My point is - movies when trying to convince people that having kids is good only show little helpless completely dependent and so goddamn cute kids. Nobody says that kids are going to grow up though - 6 years old kid is nothing like 16 years old one. Nobody tells - he or she is gonna have their own opinions, desires that mostly won't line up with parents' ones. He or she is gonna be pretentious. obnoxious, unsufferable and plain cruel at times. And he or she is still gonna be the same kid you've born
I'm not a parent myself and not planning being one for a long time, so of course, I hardly can be objective on that one. These are just my observations I made comparing movies and Real Life TM and felt need to share
what would the queen alien have to say about your anti children sentiment :(
I'm not saying nobody should have them - I'm saying many movies give wrong perspective on why you should have them
The Witcher...I can't tell you how much I hate that f**king song...plus did anyone else think it was weird to see that deformed girl naked once she was fixed!?

As a parent of a teenage girl I concur lol. However, there is an unspeakable joy in watching my girl play basketball in a summer league when she is the
only girl who made the coed team. Also when she asks for advise making future career decisions, like military or police academy. But I agree, it's not so sweet when they scream in your face because you say "no" to something, make them buy their own gas, and force them to get a job during high school. Life's hard and it's not fair, but the best rewards are earned by the hardest roads it seems.

Seriously though, I don't find this movie bad or shitty by any means... Just a little overrated, overappreciated and overrecognized that's all :laugh:
Regarding Villeneuve's work, I actually really like Incendies and Prisoners. I happen to think he fell out a bit after that, thus becoming, you know, the three words above ;D

How are they overrated, overappreciated or overrecognised?
The vast majority of people view them with contempt and derision, with a modest demographic occasionally signing up for stupid fun if the effects/premise of a specific film appeal to them, and a legitimately tiny niche of hardcore fans, most of whom will admit the entire thing is extremely silly while considering that part of the charm.
The thoroughly middling box office of the Monsterverse agrees with CB and so do I.
Some of those passionate fans absolutely get a bit to t "passionate", but they're a vocal minority of people, not indicative of the general public.

I think the over complication made here is to see this with some sort a standard over / under line or threshold. Instead, just realize that some might think whatever level a property is rated, appreciated or recognized by the masses - high medium or low- is simply still higher than one think it deserves. :) Easy peasy lemon squeezy

4 Movies in 7 years. Suddenly this isn't very successful.
Godzilla $524,976,069
Kong Skull: Island $566,652,812
Godzilla KOM $386,600,138
Godzilla vs Kong $467,863,133 + HBO Max Views
And there are many mentioned in these pages less successful than these films in this thread. I wish Alien & Predator was this successful.

Star Wars. I've never liked 'em. I was a kid when the prequels came out, I watched the original trilogy when I was little, saw all the prequels in theatre, and man I just could never get into it. I thought the acting for ALL of them was pretty hammy, I didn't bond with any of the characters, I thought the universe was kinda campy and dorky for such a serious story, etc etc. The sequels were a massive flop as well, and at this point I just couldn't care about anything Star Wars.

I'm pretty much on the same page as you
I watched Star Wars movies relatively late (about a year-two ago) and only because I was intrigued by the Interwebs reaction to TLJ. I enjoyed OT for what it was but wasn't like blown away by it or something. I find prequels to be not as bad as people make 'em seem to be, I see prequels as fun late 90s-early 00s sci-fi movies and enjoy them as that. And I guess didn't have any pre-set expectations prior to watching them. Out of the sequels I enjoyed TLJ the most but I don't have desire to rewatch any of these 'cause I can never escape thinking about drama surrounding ST.
I will though be forever grateful to Star Wars for two things: Alien and RedLetterMedia
There are things I like in episode l. But honestly, the prequels should have started from the beginning of the Clone Wars. Better written than the actual episode 2, of course.
Edit ~ Yes, Star Wars is somewhat overrated, despite its legacy in special effects and cinematography. But still I love it with a pasiĆ³n...
I think original trilogy deserves lots of praise for all of its accomplishments. But I can't stand when people (mainly money-making studio) try to make Star Wars the most important thing to ever happen to humanity and start recycling bits of OT and coming up with a backstory for EVERYTHING (how Han got his second name etc.)
Oh, and I'm absolutely sick of SW videos filling up YT page
Joss Whedon.
The Matrix.
I actually think Star Wars episode 4 is a bit overrated as a movie. Empire Strikes Back on the other hand, is the real masterpiece of the trilogy.
A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back are comparable to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight in that the first movie comes up with the formula and the second one brings it to perfection

Love
It's the only part of life that's not.
I'm not gonna lie and pretend that I myself don't require some form of love in my life, at least a surrogate or an illusion of it. But as I see it, it makes one weaker not stronger, it makes one dependant and narrows his freedom. I think desire for love is not natural, it's artificialy raised, planted inside a human being by parents, school, society, culture, mass media and wish to one day rid myself of it
And I'm 100 % fine with anyone disagrreeing
Humans are social animals. The desire to feel connected is not artificial. You can wish to rid yourself of it, but it's not a construct.
What does it mean to be a "social animal" ?
It means we live together in groups and share responsibilities and help each other.
Are there any other species apart from humans that are "social" ? Probably bees ?
Is this a joke question ???
Most mammals and birds. Lions, primates, whales, dolphins, dogs, wolves. Anything that lives in a herd or a flock or a colony. So many animals are social.
No, it wasn't, And thanks for clarification btw ;)
Ok, are there animals that are NOT social ?
Most reptiles, invertebrates, some mammals and birds.
Are being social and wanting to be loved the same thing ?
Sorry for the question fest
Not necessarily, but they are related.
I do think love is overrated
but still has it's importance to the point there are aspects of love that are actually underappreciated so there's a guarantee our reasoning differs.
I believe love is a natural part of social life and that there is no escaping from the fact that humans as a species/animal are highly social creatures as it is a part of our strategy and strength for survival.
Where I start to think that love is overrated is when it's considered mandatory for happiness and success in modern life, that's where I call bullshit, though it could very well be due to personal bias given my background.
The background:
Spoiler
Much of my life ever since childhood was consumed by self-hatred (often times bottled up), mostly because I negatively viewed my autism as an obstacle to belonging and having value, and in my long pursuit for greatness and achievement I also desired recognition and praise from others which is normal on it's own... but it got to the point where it played a role in me growing to be overly dependent on others and so in the social sphere if I wasn't getting the attention or recognition I wanted it meant I didn't belong (yea great attitude not at all prone to bizarre logic that shifts to the mood of the moment). Even once upon a time on this very forum and into UV there were a few members I had put on so high of a pedestal that they could of never have possibly lived up to my unrealistic and unfair expectations, and when they inevitably didn't I'd act out and I think in hindsight it perhaps created a wedge between us overtime.
Combined though with broken dreams and depression in between 2010 and 2015 and after so much pain and suffering I finally came to understand that I needed real help, which started in 2015 as autism consulting where there was a strong emphasis on gaining greater independence and learning self-love. That's where I feel love is actually underappreciated, learning to love yourself. By now in the 2020's I am indeed far more independent, my outlook on my autism is now positive now that I have a better and more informed understanding of it and now embrace it as part of who I am, so much more changed for the better but the main point is that I've finally been able to make peace with my past and find a measure of happiness in my life....
.... without any relationships. Happiness is not something that a relationship can guarantee and in fact you could be even more miserable instead, happiness is something I believe comes from within when you can learn to love, nurture and take care of yourself, and this in turn has a way of attracting others which is how I am more independent but not lonely anymore.
Also I don't think love in a relationship sense makes one more dependent (unless you allow it), if anything from all that I've learned and researched each partner maintaining their own independence actually makes for a much healthier relationship.
I think you're right Rich.
There are certainly types of love that can weaken a person. Unrequited feelings developing into Limerence. Codependent relationships. Abusive relationships.
But when people genuinely "click", respect each other, and are mature enough to work through issues together, it tends to strengthen both parties because they feel safe and supported enough to grow both as individuals and a team.
Note that I'm only really talking about "romantic" love, not familial or platonic, but similar things apply there too.

By now in the 2020's I am indeed far more independent, my outlook on my autism is now positive now that I have a better and more informed understanding of it and now embrace it as part of who I am, so much more changed for the better but the main point is that I've finally been able to make peace with my past and find a measure of happiness in my life....
.... without any relationships. Happiness is not something that a relationship can guarantee and in fact you could be even more miserable instead, happiness is something I believe comes from within when you can learn to love, nurture and take care of yourself, and this in turn has a way of attracting others which is how I am more independent but not lonely anymore.
Also I don't think love in a relationship sense makes one more dependent (unless you allow it), if anything from all that I've learned and researched each partner maintaining their own independence actually makes for a much healthier relationship.
Great post, especially the part about the relationship between happiness and love
Also, what I think is overrated is the idea that there's only one person in the entire world that you can be happy with i. e. "he/she's The One". If so.why people tend to fall in love with people that live pretty f**king nearby ? What makes one think that one's life partner doesn't live on the other side of the planet ? Would be funny if people actually would have to make a round-the-world trip to find their One True Love
Yeah so funny can't imagine that.
Oh yeah the idea of "the one" is some bullshit.

I just love how you two get mad at me sometimes. It's almost like you're a couple or something
Oh my child.

I like Agent Smith's thinking here :D
Is the word Overrated a bit overrated?
Obsession with realism and subtelty in modern media
I think you are mistaking realism for grit.
Well, that too. But I was talking more about how people tend to over-react over minute things not making complete sense in a movie or any other media

For all the problems
The Last Jedi has, my eyes roll with criticism of the scientific inaccuracy of the Resistance's bomber ships. I mean, I know a fictional universe has its own rules and everything, but it's
STAR WARS God damn it! :laugh:

But... even in it's own universe the bombers don't make sense. :P

Depends on the movie.
Fury turning into a
Rambo movie in its final act was bogus because everything before then had clearly been so realistic, and it just didn't gel.
But the latest
Fast & Furious film having them go into space doesn't bother me one bit because those films have always been stupid to some degree. And hell, I like
Commando, and that's just wall-to-wall dumb.
Modern "retro" games.
I mainly play old games, especially early 3D shooters, and honestly this new trend of capitalising on nostalgia during what is arguably the most stale era of gaming is a bit... dishonest. Yes there is a need and demand for retro-looking games but what gave games of that era their charm was how clunky and limited they were. It was the hardware limitations of the late 90s and early 00s that forced developers to create new and exciting art styles and gameplay mechanics to compensate for the low-fidelity of the graphics and overall engine. Unless modern "retro" ditch all the technological advancements of the past 2 decades I don't see the point of calling them retro based on looks alone.
Not to mention how many indie games use this strategy, relying mostly on nostalgia while innovating so little. A good example for an indie game that actually innovated so much while not being as visually or thematically appealing to the masses is Infested Planet and honestly that game has never been given enough attention, one it surely deserves for what it attempts to do, and for a one-man game it's helluva achievement.

This was probably the most edgelordy thing I've posted on this forum. I'm super-jealous of all of you who know what it's like to love and to be loved
