Glad you explained to me in such detail why people liked it. Never change, Volo. I don't actually believe you when you say you liked it, though. No offense meant, but I'm pretty sure you're lying through your teeth and no amount of text is going to convince me you actually like this movie. I'm pretty sure it's impossible to thoroughly enjoy it. I think you're saying you liked it because you like being contrarian. Maybe I would have bought "it's not THAT bad" (I mean, it's not Manos: Hands of Fate, it's closer to a Uwe Boll movie) but AWESOME? I have a pretty good imagination and I can't imagine anyone thinking BvS = Awesome. To be fair though, I'm fine if you keep saying that. I won't get tired of responding to it saying how bad this movie is, I feel like it's a public service to warn people away. It's like how I try to stop people from watching Dragonball: Evolution - for their protection (and to be fair, that movie was better). And I feel like you responding to it is helping me do that.

I can't think of anything awesome in it. It's the movie that tries to make a jar of pee dramatic for no reason, has the most annoying villain ever who somehow just knows stuff for no reason, dumps a boring cavetroll in it for no reason, gives exposition through awkward dream sequences for no reason, has heroes fight for no reason and then become best buddies for no reason, then team up with someone else who is in the movie for no reason, and does not one, but two "let's pretend superman's dead even though he's obviously not" moments for no reason. My favourite moment is when the Flash shows up to convince Batman he's right about Superman when Batman has obviously been nothing but sure he's right about Superman, so even in the movie he's literally there for no reason. Oh wait, no, my favourite moment is when Superman's like "you don't understand, we need to talk" and Batman gets all up in his face and yells "I understand!" and then Superman just ****ing sucker punches Batman for no reason! Or maybe it's Martha Kent's speech to Superman about how "you need to be the best he can be... or not, see if I care" a scene that literally says nothing and is in this already extremely long movie for no reason. Nothing in BvS makes sense, nothing has a reason to be happening this way except because the studio wants it to happen. I don't get why there are apologists and contrarians for this movie. It has no redeeming qualities, it doesn't have a single good moment in it. I went in with low expectations and somehow it was still worse than I thought it would be. And it's not like I set out to hate it, I was excited for a new Batman and believed people who said that at least Ben Affleck as Batman was good (he wasn't, I imagined yakety sax playing in my head during his ridiculous fight scenes) I don't know much about DC comics so it's not like I was expecting or cared about making a loyal adaptation and while Zack Snyder is mediocre he's never quite hit this low. I didn't want this to be bad, but it is. It's so bad that I can't imagine anyone actually enjoying it. Usually I feel like if someone likes a bad movie, fine, I like some bad movies. But it is so unimaginably bad that I can't see anyone saying they like it and actually be telling the truth. It's not even "so bad it's good" bad like Piranha 2 or something, or just "very disappointing" due to expectations like the Matrix sequels. No, it's aggressively terrible. It feels like it's going out of its way to be the worst movie it can be. I haven't hated the experience of watching a movie as much since Battlefield Earth. It made me feel physically uncomfortable. Please, someone explain to me why exactly some people liked this movie, because I. Just. Don't. Get. It. Suicide Squad on the other hand was just meh. Joker was pretty cool but there wasn't enough of him to really make an impression, Harley and Deadshot were great. Not sure why the final act took up two thirds of the movie and at a certain point the action stops being interesting enough to carry the movie, but I didn't actively hate it. And Ghostbusters had a couple of funny jokes but no real plot or villain to speak of, bad CG blob ghosts that all look the same (the original had huge variety in its ghostly creatures) and way too many jokes that weren't funny. Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth can stay, everyone else who was in it really needs to get out of Ghostbusters because they're just too boring. Both were significantly better than BvS. There, that was my wall of text about how bad Batman vs Superman is.

Just started Stranger Things, I love it.

Not really. Ghostbusters is pretty bad, it should be about a 25%. But SS shouldn't be more than 40% so vastly superior is an overstatement and BvS is a bottom barrel 1%er. Even the people who go "it was bad... but at least Batman was pretty good" are full of it.

We're not here to police what people think. If they want to think the Holocaust didn't happen, it's up to them. We don't ban people for stupidity and conspiracy theories.

This thread went back on-topic like a champ but I'd still like to point out that we prefer people to discuss topics and not each other.

Update: The smell of cat poo will never leave my house again. Even at three litterboxes cleaned every day, the amount of poop is staggering.

There doesn't seem to be any breaking of the forum guidelines in simply stating facts, so Bartimaeus did nothing actionable on our part. If you come across other posts you consider out of place, please use the Report function instead of trying to battle it out publicly.

Kittensitting two kittens on top of my own two kittens and adult cat. In my two-bedroom apartment. I am surrounded by adorable madness.

I used to think that. Then I did community management for a bit for an indie gamedev and realized that online fans can't do anything but bitch about minutiae and pretend they know better than everyone else. BioBoards are down? Yay! Let's take down the Battle.net forums next. There has never been a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. That just your cold black soul of a moderator talking. Have faith in your fellow human beings. Fio is the community manager here, not me. This is the only official game community worth a damn. I have lots of faith in people and their feedback, just not the kind that official message boards provide.

They turned me down. They said Kotaku doesn't need researchers.

Only shot women? The answer is obvious. #GamerGate has gone lethal.

Wildstar also has one of the worst UI's I've ever seen.

*shrug* It's their funeral regardless of who gets elected this time. I can't see the difference between someone who willingly destroys the country or one who does so out of utter stupidity. I don't agree with Guard Dog on a lot, but this time I'm pretty sure everyone's better off voting Libertarian.

I grew up with this stuff. Love it. They didn't shy away from real subjects.

That sounds about right. One of my cats died about two months ago, the other cat who was close to him sat by the remains for a while but that was the end of it.

Bernie endorsing Hillary felt like Captain America whispering "hail hydra" into your ears.

Which, to be fair, is most of them.

Looking for more comparisons between 1060s and the 480s, since I'm going to be purchasing one of the two.

Which is better than Zack Snyder's unneccesary Dark City approach.

Look at all that color.

Anybody who thinks they can tell me what to do can come and earn it. :D

Ghostbusters was okay. Kate McKinnon made it worth watching.

You clearly have never seen any competitive gaming. And to be fair, "barely a game" requires something else than "spreadsheet for nerds". As for them being beyond salvation, you're on this board. You know who Obsidian is, which puts calling anyone a nerd out of reach for you (and that goes for all you lot).
