Quote from: PortugueseXeno on May 17, 2024, 04:50:40 PMMaybe, it's just me, but complaining about not wanting to waste time (by watching the movie) while lurking and commenting for months on forums about said movie that you brag about not going to see seems like a waste of time.

Also, sue me, if a fan of the movie franchise is excited about a new movie after 7 years of content drought, but i guess, apparently that means i'm a fanatic shill, drone or lack critical thinking.

I guess this is what people back in the 80s and 90s were caled, before going to watch Aliens and Alien 3.

I don't really have a problem if people won't watch the movie, simply because they can't (financially or kids) or because they are not interested/excited/hopeful, but to go around and acting all high and mighty towards those that are excited for the movie (in said movie's forum lmao) only makes you look like an asshole, contrarians and attention/negativity seekers.

I mean, spending months commenting on a movie forum while bragging about being too good to watch the movie when it comes out, what do you want, a prize or something?

It probably is just you, especially if sure you want to be calling anyone who has being reading/commentating on here wasting their time.
Simply being logged on and occasionally reading/commenting is hardly a waste of time if we can actually be doing something with our time at the same time. This is just a site, it doesn't take all our attention or 24 hours of our day. It takes only minutes to read and respond. :laugh:

No one is bragging. Bragging = boasting. Considering not going to the cinema is not bragging. :P

I made that mistake.  :laugh:

My fault though. I saw the reviews as well but I thought I needed to make my own mind up.  Wish I actually listened to them.
Granted sometimes reviewers are not always right. The thing, predator and a few other films regarded well today weren't given a warm reception upon release.

It's not always about the time and money.

Sometimes it's about not wanting to be complicit in the continued degradation of your once beloved franchise.
Every release after 92' has been varying degrees of insult; and for me, Covenant was the last straw.
I am absolutely hoping for the best with this one(as I do with every release), but this franchise hasn't exactly earned blind support.
Resurrection, AVP, AVP-R, Prometheus, and Covenant all took more from me than just my time and money.

Sometimes I think people care too much about this stuff, go outside and touch some grass for gods sake. Complicit in the degradation of a once beloved franchise , really?

I guess we can't all have the integrity and critical thinking skills of someone like Cruentus.

There's no need for personal insults, my guy. If thats your reaction to my opinion on a movie, maybe you're the one who needs to touch grass.

I apologize, that last bit was to be meant as a dig at Cruentus for suggesting the lack integrity and critical thinking of those who are excited for the film.

I see now that it reads as though I'm questioning your intregrity/critical thinking which was unintended and not what I think at all.
