so tusk was pretty neat

[jer]

And no, you just tried to say I like my horror comedies to be "more serious."

your complaint was that in a movie about a killer moose, the moose kills someone.

Or I can continue to comment and you can :deal with it:.

No, that was not my complaint.

[jer]

You implied he was unfunny because he pointed out a moose kills a kid in his script... like the bare minimum that we would expect about a movie about a killer moose. So...

[Anna Karina]

I was pointing out that he said it was "awesome" then described something dumb as hell as his example.


Sorry you have high hopes for Moose Jaws.

[jer]

Sorry you have high hopes for Moose Jaws.

Again, taking a comedy-horror pretty seriously there, bud.

[Anna Karina]

Making a comedy horror film doesn't automatically veil it from criticism and I'm not sure why you're pretending otherwise. "The film doesn't take itself seriously" is not a valid reason against calling a concept garbage.

[jer]

Again, you don't have to like anything he does and I'm not saying he can't be criticized. I'm saying you're obsessive with your hate of things that you don't like, Smith or otherwise, and it's silly as hell, you're a hipster caricature.

You can not like the concept, but that I don't hate it just because you hate it doesn't mean I have "high hopes" for it -- I don't have high hopes for dick and fart jokes but I still laugh at them sometimes, because i would be an idiot to take dick and fart jokes seriously. Likewise, sometimes I enjoy a dopey movie.

[Anna Karina]

I don't care that you enjoy his shitty movies and haven't claimed otherwise.

However, you're upset that I have opinions about it.

[jer]

your twenty posts insisting that he's garbage certainly has me concvined that you don't care.

[jer]

However, you're upset that I have opinions about it.

I haven't targetted your opinion on it at all, I targetted you being an asshole constantly about your opinions.

[Anna Karina]

I can give my opinions on things without caring that your opinion is different.

You're arguments here are akin to a briantightpants convo.

[jer]

I can give my opinions on things without caring that your opinion is different.

Cool, next time try that so we can avoid these stupid back and forths.

[Anna Karina]

I've been doing that this entire thread. Perhaps you have developed reading comprehension problems.



Kevin Smith still sucks.

[jer]

I've been doing that this entire thread.

Yup, over 20 posts of crying "but he sucks!!!!@#%" really proves that you don't care that I disagree.

[Anna Karina]

This is basically how the two pages have been:

[my opinion]

YOU TAKE DUMB MOVIES TOO SERIOUSLY!

No, I just think it sucks and he's an incompetent director with bad ideas.

SOMETIMES FART JOKES ARE FUNNY, LET ME LIKE WHAT I LIKE.

[jer]

Sure, I'm the one who has reading comprehension problems. Good job buddy.

[Anna Karina]

Glad we could come to an agreement.

I came into this thread not knowing what Tusk was, and then I found out it was a Kevin Smith movie. I'm not a Kevin Smith fan, so I was just going to leave the thread (ctrl+w is a magical key combination), but then I came upon a great internet argument. Thanks, guys.

This thread

[pronetoaccidents]

okay how about you guys both see tusk and then come back and say how you feel about it? that would probably cut through all the presumption and prejudice about the dude and his fatness and jncos and whatnot because yeah, i saw it and it was good. obviously i wasn't expecting a tour de force film that would sweep the awards worldwide but it was actually pretty fucking entertaining and last time i checked, that's why people usually see a movie.

[Anna Karina]

I am not giving Kevin Smith money. Whenever there's a torrent, I'll probably download it.


Jer is the only one who brought up Kevin Smith's weight.

[Nate Rainey]

Will you two please just have sex already?

[jer]

Why are you assuming we haven't?

[Octor Doctorpus]

it was even better than i expected.

Yeah I was weary of it but I loved it. Saw it twice. I feel it's kind of destined to be a cult movie (eventually).
