    Ha, no I don't view everyone in here with suspicion. I apologize for bringing this up in the first place. There's screwed up people in every shape and form. As I said I don't agree with the controversy around the film but can see how people are offended by it or where the controversy could come from.

    I go to the movies to be entertained and a sense of escapism for a few hours. They can be an easy target for the media or people to place blame at though. The problems in society aren't caused by them though.

    Once again sorry for bringing up the whole debate.

    What about other shooting crimes in the US, besides the mass shootings? Are these usually the single white males? Or are other ethnicities responsible for a lot of shooting murders in the US? What about worldwide shooting murders? What are the top ethnicities commiting these homicides? What about homicides in the Middle East and Africa? Are these lone white gunmen?

    I don't know the answers to these questions honestly. What does the media show us? When I watch the evening local news and their has been a homicide in my town; most of the time it ain't been perpetrated by a mentally ill white guy, if you know what I'm saying.
    Is that again, just the media?
    I honestly don't know.

    Forgive me, father, for I have sinned.

    *takes bite out of McDonald’s cheeseburger*

    I am stuck! It is pouring! I am hungry!

    EDIT: As far as I am concerned, the MCU is nothing more than a purely, commercialized product that has nothing to say and has no lasting power outside of each film being annoyingly referenced in future films and all each film is now in days is just a preview for the next upcoming film(s).

    you don't have to be sorry dude :p at least not on my account. I haven't even seen The Joker so can't comment on the issue :p
    All I can say without seeing it is if what people are saying is true, and it brings up the despicable way governments don't give a **** about people with mental problems and taking away support and medication etc is a very bad thing then the movie can't be praised enough IMO.

    it's better than the one with Paul Rudd and Resurrection I give it that much :p

    it's on par with 5 for me.

    @heels1785 you making any changes to your Fantasy PL?

    also don’t bother with the Joker controversy... haven’t seen the movie but the things they say are simply noise for the sake of clickbait.

    There are unfortunately enough postmodernists on Twitter for that kinda idiocy to keep rolling

    This is true! Lol.
    JC ticked off the director by doing that too.
    Last minute reshoots with more gore.

    My fav Aussie bloke, Minty, has a cool vid about Halloween II. He talks about this.

    Carpenter evidentally felt pressured by the success of Friday the 13th I and II, to up the gore in Halloween II. Lame.
    What a sellout. :p

    the original Halloween does not have much gore. It's more brutal violence like the Fog. But the Thing certainly does lol.

    I made my one transfer last week, doesn't look like we get an extra one with the int'l break. Not quite ready to sacrifice the points or use my unlimited to make more than one a week. :p

    Says 75% Salah to play, so I'm gonna risk it. Doesn't look like Dave and Pogba will suit up for United - could be a rough bout, but a good test for Romero. Good luck!

    You, Dandelo, and VJ have the worst taste in movies in recorded history! :p

    You are hereby sentenced to slasher sequel purgatory where you will only watch horrible sequels to overrated horror franchises. But never the original! [face_devil]

    So let it be written.

    So let it be done.
    [face_skull]

    :p

    Just teasin' ya if ya didn't know by now. [:D]

    Now Escape from NY is a classic. PS I want to take out 100 dollars and buy Luigi's Mansion and Mario Kart for GC. I want more. But I know I shouldn't.

    haha but you are probably right when it comes to myself :p

    [:D]

    when it comes to reading or watching reviews my favourite films are largely considered what is known as "good bad movies"
    Road House, Ghostbusters II and BTILC fit this category apparently :p

    Seven was good, well done, 7 deadly sins were an interesting idea, but also idk, it left me feeling eh? I didn’t find it that affecting at the end, Brad Pitt just was not working for me in the field. I didn’t like him earlier in it either. I’m not a Brad Pitt fan but do want to like his acting, but imo he can be so...Brad Pitt...that it’s hard for me to lose him in roles.

    I’ve seen the first Saw, it was gross, but the premise is so flipping stupid & the movie so self-serious that I didn’t bother with the rest. Torture movies I don’t watch, or try to avoid. And I can’t deal with sickness, at either end, even in comedies. Food scenes get to me if it seems like it could turn bad, like that Home Alone pizza dinner or wedding in The Godfather. *shudders*. Even when I know it’ll be fine I’m on high alert.

    Not got much to say, since I haven't seen most of these movies :p I don't particularly like horror, never really been my genre, and slasher/gore stuff even less so ;)

    Endgame's a pretty damn fine movie though :cool:
