Hahahahahahahaha :D

Signs was good because of the way all the pieces of the puzzle ended up coming together at the end. That really made the movie. I think Shyamalan is a very talented director, I just don't want to see him turn into a one-trick pony.

Don't even bother trying to explain that to them. You practically have to put a label on your posts specifying that you are talking about the Xbox version, otherwise you get all these people spewing off crap about the PC version when they really don't know what they're talking about to begin with...

Emeril Just kidding...

You can't say Hitch**** on this forum? Ain't that a ****. Someone must have been playing with their magic rocks.

When I think of spoilers, I think of the Death Star being blown up, not Darth Vader telling Luke he's his father. Sure I can't complain, but come on people.

Remind me never to read any movie threads on this forum again.

Be careful what you say about Prince Charles, he can probably hear you.

I can imagine a similar scenario. I can see you preaching to people about government conspiracies, telling them that they are all cattle, then I can see some guy telling you to blow it out your ass (which you do anyway). You would respond with some made up argument involving Bruce Lee and superhuman strength given to us by the aliens, then you'd try pulling some Judo crap and end up getting your ass handed to you. That sound a little more realistic?

Do you know how retarded it looks when you attack me for being hostile, and then tell me to **** off a few sentences later? You aren't obligated to reply to any of my posts. You can call me hostile, but like everyone else who pretends to be "civilized", your skin is just as thin as the next guy's, unless that guy happens to be from the Louisiana bayou (and for all I know he may). You people piss and moan about how guys like me aren't afraid to say what they are thinking, then you start doing the exact same thing.

Threads are generally intended for computers. I've never visited a forum using my Xbox before. Still, Halo is primarily an Xbox game. It was released on the Xbox long before it came to PC. Even if you didn't know if the sequel was coming to PC or not, you must have known that it would be coming to the Xbox, and that the Xbox version is what sets the standard. I'm sure you did know that, you were just looking for an excuse to disagree with me. Better luck next time.

Maybe it's added in there for effect. Kind of like when the feminists finally got away with saying "vagina" on TV.

We agree on a lot of things, he just won't admit it yet...

Are they advertising Halo 2 for the PC yet? No? Then why don't you go roast a pig in your longhouse or something?

Farenheit 9/11 was supposed to be a documentary, The Matrix is science fiction. I have no idea where you are coming from on this one.

Halo is as close to an "epic" game as you can get. The only people that don't like it are PS2 fanboys. Microsoft has all the money in the world, this is a pretty smart way for them to make more. Like it or not, games are becoming more and more mainstream. They even have a show now where they re-enact battles using the Total War engine.

The last time I ate Mexican food, it damn near launched me into space...

I'm not a parrot, and I'm definitely not your friend, so what the hell do you know? The movie is chock FULL of symbolism. Some of it you can understand right off the bat if you're familiar with the source material, some if it you might not get until the second or third time around. There are a lot of people who think that the movie is based entirely off of Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, which is in one of the first scenes of the movie (Neo keeps his pirated software in a copy of it). There are a lot of books that the movie borrows heavily from, but the Bible is definitely the most signficant. There are biblical references at almost every single turn in the movie. Take Neo for instance. He is the perfect Messiah figure. His Matrix name is Thomas (an obvious reference to doubting Thomas), and it is not until he dies and is resurrected that he finally becomes who he is meant to be. Neo, Morpheus and Trinity also form a sort of Holy Trinity. Morpheus is the father, Neo is the son, and if you don't know what Trinity is, don't ask me. That's not even touching on the symbolism of the actual theme of the movie, which is a much more tricky and subjective area. There are all sorts of smaller touches that you have to really look closely for, like the plaque of the Nebuchadnezzer (it's actually a passage in the bible), or my favorite, the woman who is watching "The Prisoner" when Neo runs through her apartment. I didn't have to explain any of that, but I decided that I would anyway, just for kicks. You happy now?

Civilized debate? Don't be a dumbass. "Civilized" debate forums are for prissy, high strung teens that like to pretend they are above everyone else. I didn't say anything about whether or not hemp should be legalized. I'm for legalizing a lot of things, including marijuana. It isn't that simple though. Go ask a cop. They get a ton of arrests related to drugs, which leads to more money and ultimately a better image for them. The expenses come from the prisons or whatever other "corrections" the government tries to use to straighten these people out. That isn't the point here though. Do you think POTC knew any of this crap before he read this article? Hell no. Potheads (and those wishing they were potheads) love throwing this stuff around. Christ, his name even has POT in it. Either that or he watched too many episodes of Happy Days.

Don't bother explaining that to him, he's just here for a quick hit & run, which is usually what he does whenever he attempts to troll. I think it's a full moon thing. Where the hell are those silver bullets when you need them?

That's exactly what I was going to say. You frightened? I am...

Why not? I think it looks a lot like him... :D

What the hell are you talking about?

Comparing the first Matrix to the sequels is pretty silly. Neither of the sequels had the complexity or symbolism that made the first one so good.
