Ban. Super Troopers is awesome, and not because it's trendy. Do you see why?

[/ QUOTE ]

not another one of you guys, i'll bet you were in a toss-up between that post and posting something like "Watching Super Troopers is +EV" Constantly mis-using Sklansky quotes and theories.

If I "saw why" would I say the following? Dude Where's My Car > Super Troopers?

Super Troopers is basically from the indie side of Comedy (if there were such a thing) and it's trendy to say Super Troopers owns because it makes you sound like you have a unique taste in movies, you venture into the "underground" side of movies...almost like listing your favorite movies as, "Run Lola, Run" and Paul Giamatti flicks such as "Sideways" and "American Splendor."

Wow, you got me dead on. Actually, wait, you're an idiot.

First of all, random Sklansky quotes are all over this board. If you're going to bitch at me, then go bitch at everyone you see saying "it's not close," or "(blank) is +EV." Go ahead, chief. Regulate.

Anyways, good job making sweeping generalizations about my personality and taste in movies while trying to look intelligent. Just a note for the future: it makes you look even more like a tool. Do you see why?

Super Troopers was awesome to me not because it's Indie (didn't know that until you just told me), but simply because it's silly comedy. That's my type of humor, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Oh, and Lola Rennt rocks. SON.

Village redeemed my faith in Mr. Shyamalan.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow. I just saw this and thought it sucked. I had gone out of my way to not read any reviews or any threads about it so I wouldn't hear the twist. Yet both main twist(s) seemed pretty damn obvious to me. Overall, I thought this movie was pretty bad.

[/ QUOTE ]

Shyamalan can't make any more movies. Everyone expects a twist, which ruins it.

That said, I really liked the Village; it gets my vote.

Dude, let it go. Stuff like this is what could lead to the Mat stomping on OOT. You're brand new Gimmick account got banned during a time of crackdown, you knew there would be a chance of that happening and then you post an (awesome) profanity laced letter telling the anonymous mod off.

Why try and drag others down with you?

obviously I favor the side of leiniency, but the part that got me is the specific selection of that account and post when there were so many other equally bad accounts out there that never got touched.

either ban them all or live and let live, don't be subjective.

sorry if I am ruining the party, I really don't want to piss off ppl that have nothing to do with this, I was just trying to make the point that this is complete bs.

P.S. also the fact that the mods basically don't have to let me know why a post was deleted or locked, or who locked it (even which anonymous mod. I'd settle for 'post deleted by green' but I didnt even get that) is really really lame
