I keep talking because Fresh Idiots keep coming

I notice most of the one-shot SB.com posters are here
And thus my point the movies did not look good, infact they looked bad
At this point normaly I'll start egreation how bad they are using such fun words as *Craptastical or whatnot but they where not that bad
Just bad
As I say
Poor Music, Scalling changing from frame to frame, Less plot than the avarage MST3K movie and the randomness of it, Oh yes and as Sir-Nitrium said, It looks bad
I keep repeating myself hoping maybe, Just Maybe this time you'll get the point
Do I hope in vain :?:

Just thought I would pop into the thread since we are "invading" or something...

Oh, look at the enthusiasm.

There is no invasion, just some bleeting on both sides.

Fine, Bean, it's your opinion, no matter how much your opinion sucks :p, we'll leave it at that.

And the six year old with a broadsword thing is on an entirely different level to the subject matter.

I'm not the one arguing that the movie sucks because ISDs weren't mopping the floor with everyone... :P

All this fighting over a silly fanflick. Whilst I can understand some of the gripes about Miles' flick, I think those of you with problems with things other than the technical accuracy (I refuse to use the word realism when dealing with things like this) should offer some constructive criticism instead of just ranting about why you hate it. No one, contrary to popular belief, is insisting that you have to like it. Titanic was a multimillion dollar film that grossed ludicrous amounts of money and was loved by almost everyone (it seems). I hated it. Doesn't mean I think James Cameron's a no talent tosser. Just remember to differentiate opinions from facts.

Now, I do think Black Lance has a little explaining to do on his choice of forum to post this in, and back on SB I'm sure the mods are going to have a little chat with him. I don't honestly think this was malicious, it's just not his style, but meh.

Anyhow, I'm sure everyone will go back to enjoying their lovely little board. Though I'm forced to wonder about a place that would make CaptainSheridan (GAT) a mod... :wink: :D

I am a cynical, negative, bitter, jaded bastard and chances are I hate you. If you still want to talk to me, go ahead... despite hating you I am usually polite and interesting to talk to, or so most people I know say.:-)

Sorry but I make my livelyhood working as a Network Admin and doing what you've asked me to do would get me kinda fire :P

I go to work and basicly sit around because I've trained my users well to reboot first THEN call me so I have basicly six hours free everyday I post here plus that useless free-time at home
Theres only so many hours in the day you be outside or inside before it becomes useless as hell

The orgional was an ad-homean attack on the insane amount of free time I have on my hands and you know you wish you had as much as I do trying to dimsie my aurgments but I decided what the hell more likely to get a polite response if I just go with it
Well gee, whoopde friggin do. You've got some 802.11 and a small time network admin job. Where, a McDonald's? No one here is impressed. Morever, no one cares. Rather than bragging about yourself, why not hop back onto the topic at hand?

Whoa buddy, we all know that the Caps Lock key is a wonderful thing, but why not turn it off for once and type like a sane person?

First of all, most 3D artists have their own custom dream ships. This KIT Shadow Defiant is this artist's ship. I have my own as well, although it's nowhere near as exotic. . . Anyway, that scene in the movie is a throwback to one of the first movies to use CGI - The Last Starfighter. In the movie, a prototype Gunstar (a space fighter) has a new feature - the "Death Blossom". A feature which expends all of the ship's energy at once by firing in all directions using all weapons, useful for when the ship is surrounded by other fighters.

That's exactly what I thought of when I saw it: "Hm, a homage to The Last Starfighter."

Still, not such a bright tactic to use when you're surrounded by Star Destroyers (unless you're covered in superlasers, that is :))

I mainly find the whining and bitching hilarious. Not to mention Mr. Bean's Sentagraphs(1).

1. sen·ta·graph n. - A paragraph length run-on sentence, most often used by persons lacking a firm grasp of grammar or intelligence.

I already mentioned earlier that I found the bitching and whining itself hilarious as well.
