And by tact you mean passive aggressive insults rather than being blunt. Gotcha.
Anyways carry on.

Isn't that something though that the ones that were made 30 years ago hold up better than the ones made a decade ago. Even the special effects in the originals are good by today's standards where as the special effects in episodes 1-3 look like cheap computer animation.

#274 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Star Wars Thread *NO SPOILERS ALLOWED!* » 714 weeks ago
Good God I never thought of that (remaking the originals)
Blowing my mind to even imagine it.
I know right and the scary part is you know it'd be a huge success money wise. People would flock to see it. Sad thing is it would ruin the originals for all future generations. It would be like remaking the Wizard of Oz. It would totally ruin the charm and appeal of the original because why would kids wanna watch a movie that's 30+ years old when they can watch a modern version with all the modern special effects. I personally think the originals look better than the prequels but I know a LOT of younger people who think the old ones look cheap compared to episodes 1-3. that blows my mind. Episodes 1-3 look like a video games. Episodes 4-6 look real to me. maybe cause the props were actually real 
I don't know. I just thought of it and thought "Oh shit what if...."

Disney wouldn't have the audacity to reboot the Star Wars franchise with the original stories from Episodes 4-6 would they? That's one thing that crossed my mind the other day and I thought that would be the ultimate in suckage. At first I thought worrying that Disney could ruin the franchise would be like worrying another iceberg would dive down and hit the Titanic but then I thought what if they remake the originals

this is hilarious, but also a little sad. it's been like 5 or 6 days now & we're still on this 'injustice'.
ftr i didn't see anything seriously wrong w/bono's initial comments. tho it did strike me that he was trolling somewhat, just posting the same thing for a reaction, but he didn't go overboard. then he did go overboard, when there was really no justification for it.
people seemed to be having fun w/his comments. then he reacted w/a string of uncalled for vitriol :Pathetic
idiotic
even more pathetic
your'e the whiner
ID you're still a joke.
All these replies by you guys are fucking pathetic
you whiners
you clowns
the most fucking insane thing I've ever read. how severly lacking is your reading comprehension skills and common sense
I have never read a more dellusional comment in my life.
the whiners who couldnt' handle someone not sharing their view on the song chimed in with their bullshiti think he does have issues w/communicating. he seems to take it very seriously. you look at the replies to his initial comments, nobody responded w/this kind a language. people were joshing him about U2 & he took it thick & lost his cool.
Actually what's sad is Russ gives me a "time out" as he likes to call it and then for the next few days while I'm not here people run their fucking mouths about why I posted my original comment and what my intentions are on this board. ID for example thinking I target people and follow people around. For christ sake it's a forum and small one. If anyone thinks I follow guys around you clearly have issues. Russ's comments about why I posted my opinion on TWAT are in fact fucking dellusional. No ifs ands or buts about it. Flat out wrong from top to bottom. Also FYI it was you who called me a troll for saying what I did. 
Which is what he was banned for, not saying he didn't like TWAT.
Actually I've pointed it out quite clearly that the head umpire who thinks he's the show seems to be under the impression my original comments were insulting and meant only to gain attention. Such a joke. And as Monkey pointed out nothing I said was even remotely insulting yet a handfull of members felt the need to hurl insults for no apparent reason. Ok fine but expect it back. Whatever. It's your guys tea party.
#278 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy" multi track guitar change with a more live/appetite » 714 weeks ago
I think the song would sound better if it was just guitars drums and bass. That's my biggest gripe with CD. way too over produced and forced way too hard to be epic. TWAT is a prime example. It's trying way too hard to be epic. But then again I just say that to get attention.
As for this mix it's cool and I think would sound awesome if professionally done this way. It's more organic, something the entire album is lacking.
#279 Re: Guns N' Roses » 11-07-2012 - The Joint, Las Vegas, NV » 714 weeks ago
The other users were running Bono's own game on him and that's the reason they didn't receive warnings.Bono comes along and drops some post with no rhyme or reason behind it in order to get attention.That's all fine and good if you're going to contribute to the conversation and keep it moving. State a reason for your opinion instead of just dropping it to get everyone talking about you instead of the topic at hand. So a bunch of other users came along and did exactly what he does: drop an arbitrary opinion and insult. That doesn't seem worthy of warnings to me seeing as they're only giving back what they're received dozens of times. As far as Bono, he's been warned ad naseum about his insults, thus my skipping right to letting him sit out this time.
That has got to be the most fucking insane thing I've ever read. how severly lacking is your reading comprehension skills and common sense to think that my two comments were in any way shape or form insulting? the only way you could look at what i said as an insult is if you think me not liking the song TWAT was an insult. .
The topic at hand when I commented was TWAT. I simply stated I didn't get the fascination with the song. I think it sounds like a mess and I feel it's vastly overrated. Unbelievable that you think I was posting that to get attention. I was "seeking attention" Really Russ? Saying I don't like There Was a Time and that I think it's overrated is seeking attention? I have never read a more dellusional comment in my life. I think you really need to step away from your computer pal and take a break. Way too emotionally involved and that is painfully obvious when you start considering a person's differeing opinion on a song an insult. WOW!.
It's not his opinion that's the problem.
He posted his opinion to get a reaction. Not only did he get a reaction, he got exactly the same reaction he gives others constantly: insults without so much as a tiny argument to back them up. He turns around and uses that as a justification to openly insult several users all in one post.
And then I continue reading to see that. The reason I posted my comment about TWAT was because TWAT was being discussed. People didn't like my opinion on it and so the flood gates opened. Again not once did I insult anyone or say anything even remotely rude to anyone untill the whiners who couldnt' handle someone not sharing their view on the song chimed in with their bullshit.
for the record one more time these were my two comments that "warrented" such a meltdown from numerous members and are what Russ considers an insult. Freaking hilarious.
I really don't get the fascination with TWAT. It's just not that good of a song in my opinion. To be honest I think it sounds like a mess live and on the album.
TWAT is the most overrated song ever by Gn'R fans and the solo is the most overrated solo by any group of fans ever as well.
It had NOTHING to do with how I said anything but rather what I said and people were offended. Unreal. Carry on with your tea party ladies.
#280 Re: Guns N' Roses » Commissioner, Women’s Shelter Call GN'R Concerts Ads 'Inappropriate' » 714 weeks ago
You're still not getting it. The ad was up ALL OVER LAS VEGAS for at least a month prior to the street naming. Then when the street naming happened and the womens shelter got mad, the commissioners line was "I didn't see it before the street naming". So it's not even a matter of whether or not the pic is offensive or appropriate, it's a matter of the ridiculous excuse the commissioner used to get out of it.
Ummm... seems to me it's you who doesn't get it. Doesn't matter when someone sees it or takes issue with it. the fact is someone took an issue with it and when it was brought to the appropriate person's attention they made a decision. it's how the world works. Wow. hard concept hey Russ.
Yeah, but like Russ mentioned. Why was it okay to be up for a month? If your argument was it should have never been approved, then fine. I can totally accept that. Just like, as you mentioned, it got moved to the inner sleeve of AFD. But once it gets approval, and is up for an extended period, then it all of a sudden becomes an issue. That doesn't jive with me.
Did the women's rights group sit in on the meetings where the billboards were approved? probably not. It wasn't their decision to put them up but when they had an issue with it they filed a complaint and actions were put in place to deal with it. you guys are hilarious.
