King Kong

[Dark Moth]

I thought Hellboy was great! :D It had a ton of good lines and cool characters. The comics are sweet, too.

"Then again, I think Gigli was an awesome movie, so my critique probably isn't the best in the world."

 

Awesome? No, i said it was good, and much better than the fools think.

 

 

"How does not liking Jackson's work make me "self-indulgent"?"

 

Not an insult, just a fact. You actually believe that your opinion is factual when you call Jackson a hack even when all the evidence points to you being wrong.  Your self indulgent as no matter the evidence you cling to the needy belief that everyone but you is wrong.

 

Don't be sad. We all go through phases like that.

It's amazing. "Gigli" is pretty much a universally reviled movie, yet you say, "No, i said it was good, and much better than the fools think" then you have the absolute gall to call me out for having an opinion that goes up against the majority? Wow, you hypocrite.

Do I believe my opinion is factual? Of course I do. It would be bizarre to have an opinion that one believes is or may be wrong. My opinion is that there is no God. That also puts me in a minority. I have no issues with having a minority opinion. Just because a majority believes something doesn't make them right.

So go along now and learn the difference between "your" and "you're" and stick to arguing with me on the topic up for discussion and not bringing it down to personal insults.

I liked Bourne Supremacy too... "one of the worst movies of recent times" is an overstatement i think. Hellboy was out around the same time and that sucked donkey balls.

I totally agree in both counts.

Nope. Wrong again. My opinion is correct; your is not. That's not hypocrisy; that's just fact. Keep whining; but it won't chnage anything.

 

R00fles!

Actually, you were the first one to use insults in this thread by attacking everyone personally who disagreed with your 'Peter Jackson is a hack' assessment. I (and others) are just following your example. :cool:

Okay, here's a challenge... Go back to before I was insulted the first time and show me where I attacked everyone personally who disagreed with me. I see disagreements, but please, give me just one quote, keeping in mind a difference in opinion is not a personal attack. If you can not provide one, I would like an apology for the above lie.

Thank you.

Volourn has been caught lying several times before. But you have to forgive him, he's a puny shrimp of a boy in real life and really needs to feel big on this board at least! Can't you give him that? Show some mercy!!

 

I saw someone mentioned that the King Kong game is being made by Molyneaux's team.. But I though the guy who made Beyond Good & Evil was making the game (which looked rather good, last time I heard anything about it)?

 

Edit: I remembered correctly!

Don't feed the trolls.

 

This is some pretty obvious trolling.

 

Your arguement was laid out pretty simple, and then deflated. You are entitled to not like LotR. That's subjective. Peter Jackson is universally recognized as a very polished, quality director who's entire body of work are well-made films.

 

Your arguement centers entirely on the story of LotR, which Peter Jackson is not responsible for. He didn't write it. His direction and visual storytelling are both unique, and masterful.

 

Either you are misguided enough to blame Peter Jackson for Tolkein's story, or you are obviously trolling.

 

I'm going with the latter of the two.

[alanschu]

I hope you read the whole thread Ender....it's quite entertaining!

[EnderAndrew]

I did. I'll generally read up to 3 pages when catching up or finding a new thread. If there are more than 3 pages, I'll read the first and current page.

I've been a movie buff all my life. I know what a director does and what a director is responsible for. I also know what I like, and I don't like what I've seen of Jackson's work so far. I'd like to think that I have enough posts in this particular forum (don't let my post count fool you, I've been more active in Way Off Topic than anywhere else on the site) to show that I don't go around trolling, but do have strongly held opinions. Yet from this particular opinion I've been attacked time and again. Strangely enough, I've been attacked more for not liking Peter Jackson than I have for any of my views on religion or politics. Strange what stirs up passions...

[Darth Flatus]

.... would you like people to attack you for your views on religion and politics?

Of course not. It's just strange that it's a friggin' movie director that a dissenting opinion is getting people worked up over.

I agree. Vixen isn't trolling. It's a matter of preference.

Actually, PJ co-wrote the screenplay, with Philipa Boyens and Fran Walsh, so he shares some blame for the story, considering they were brave enough to change large parts of The Fellowship of the Ring; it was well within their remit to edit The Return of the King (which they did, but not to its betterment, imo).

 

:cool:

[Darth Flatus]

Fellowship had bits cut out but there was nothing fundamentally changed... that was left for Two Towers [sarcasm]shock horror! Elves at helm's deep? WTF? :angry:[/sarcasm]

Yep, I thought it was going to be another "girl teen-film" and I was pleasantly surprised. (I only watched it because my step-daughter insisted: she had seen it before.) It is not the normal grist to the mill, and in fact shows some innovative story-telling. And at least it is not yet-another-sequel-or-remake!

Without the scouring of a the Shire ROTK was lacking.

 

While the other changes were irksome nothing except the osgiliath debacle came close.

 

King Kong dosnt really appeal to me. I'll probably catch it when its on cable.

Much credit can go to the awesome Tina Fey.

If it was King Kong vs somebody i might be interested, but i've seen the old kong movies and aside from a flash of Jessica Lange's boobies they were a bit boring. I would to se a film eher the big giant gorilla fights a guy in a giant robot suit.
