[oog well, kinda] a moment of reflection.

wow... what a bunch of dicks we can be...
21 pages of "but that isn't WHAT I WANTED" and "it can't be right cause Rob wouldn't break up with her blah blah meh..."

could Beth not have done the breaking up? don't women also think and feel? (you kids'll shit when you find out an actual woman is running for president)

the OP stuck around, took some rather cuntish abuse with a high degree of grace, and if anything, made me realize a few things...

-i'd made the ARE separate from the movie back in september, so i'm getting 2 times the value from my 7 english pounds.
like a 4 month serial as a prequel to a movie... THAT is fucking AAA+ value for money.

-if that is how the film goes, it'll upset my girlfriend hugely, because 30 minutes of it show the characters being JUST LIKE ACTUAL PEOPLE.
audience empathy and sympathy are high on the writer and directors list of wants here. joel shu-must-give-batman-nipples didnt get the gig, get over it.

-if the monster looks like the thing i'm seeing in my head, i'll do without popcorn and coke... i'll choke with joy.
it sounds abhorrent, but also very franchise-friendly... plush MGP for christmas? you betcha!

-fanboys are ruining popular culture... you know what happens when fanboys get their own way? sin-buggering-city


this is a (comparatively) low-budget affair. not Wild Zero low, nor Uwe Boll low (thank fuck!), but this is 30 million dollars.
video games cost more.

if it turns out shit, we've had a masterclass in how umbrella should have been handled for the Resident Evil franchise.

no matter what, the last few months have been an actual hoot.

so stop whining, it's sunny add whatever the weather/moon/sun situation is where you areoutside.

oh, and for the huge amount of you people who have -in many ways- made this whole thing better than it perhaps deserves...

Was there a point to this green, severely indented and paragraphed thread?

yeah.
ease of reading, and a polite way of saying ' we you're a bunch of oversensitive, frigid, knee-jerk, beautiful, inquisitive, entertaining, heavy-handed, intolerant, glorious, knowledgeable, sometimes utterly blinded by fandom, ARE-enhancing cunts'.

a thread occurred, spoiled the movie (was tagged SEEN IT, so anyone upset got what they deserved), people ripped the OP, OP was VERY gracious and answered questions. very well, too.
yet got ripped.

then, i got to thinking.
the thought was "wow, even for something as insignificant as a movie, people will split. even though they are the the same group."

it depressed me. we're fucking UNRELEASED MOVIE INFO GESTAPO.
because using a trout emoticon, flaming someone, and personal attacks in response to speculation over a movie will bring grandma back?

pages of "ROB WNT DUMBZORRRZ GUD SHAGGZ GRRL" just tipped me.
we are a bunch of cocks.
we set ourselves up to be disappointed.

me... i'm fucking buzzed for this movie.

why?
because Dennis, Euchre, Rose, and a bunch of others have made the lead up to this movie (well, the UK release... bastards! Very Happy ) so much more than even the movies makers had planned.

since i saw The Teaser, before Transformers was released here, i lurked, and read, laughed, learned (extremophiles > everything), and rediscovered a deep, deep hate for Devlin and Emmerich.

the point of the green text was so it was separated from the original post.

if you cant see what was being -not so subtly- hinted at from the thread as a whole...

i have a spoiler for you...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
it's Zilla. he says we've acted like dicks... inverted ones at that


seriously, the point is we should just be thankful that this movie already beats most, purely because of this ARE that "has no payoff".

fuck, some of what i've read here WILL DESTROY ANYTHING we're going to get.
UF has some straight out, genius ideas people.

so let's take a breath, stfu, and be glad.

I'm... i'm sort of confused by this. I don't know if i'm supposed to cuss you out and punch a wall or thank you for your strange way of showing appreciation... if that's what you did. I still don't know.

i like how you speak!

i will never think of this movie as "that hand-held camera monster movie"
it will be the movie that I was involved in....

oh and also i HATE the people who posted true spoilers
they were all noobs who hadnt been here sense the begining! ive been here for almost everything! and you see NO spoilers from people who have been here the longest because they respect people and dont want to ruin the movie for others

im sorry but the past, i dont know, month here has been pretty much pointless (not getting down on unfiction, i think this place is GREAT! and there are some AWESOME new people here to im just speaking in generalities...) 70% of everything posted has been trouts and trolls. SEARCH PEOPLE! i expected a little bit of this but i didnt expect people to be such assholes about it(cough 1-18-08slushomakesuhappy cough)!

i am sorry for the huge rant, sorry if i insulted anyone, and i really dont mean to come off as an asshole....
i just had to let off some steam... please forgive me for wasting your space and time

Edit: cut out all f-bombs because it made me sound to harsh and bolded somethings
