The Rage Thread

#21

I hate how Americans always say period. I keep thinking you’re talking about menstruation. Period. Eurhgh man, enough. I love you really.

#22

Sounds like somebody fixed your post!

#23

Sounds like somebody’s right!

#24

Sounds like this thread went to Las Vegas!

Which makes me rage! Not really!

#25

Actually, if you’d paid attention to professional reviewers (who almost universally seem to love it, just like general audiences) you’d probably still have gone to see it.

Also, Cloverfield rocked. :stuck_out_tongue:

The end theme music that was posted earlier is also the best thing ever for anyone who grew up watching Godzilla films like I did.

I’m a massive cynic. Who hates remakes. And also doesn’t like Star Trek all that much.

I loved it, it was awesome. I even liked the guy who played Kirk (I didn’t think of him as Kirk though).

Hm, I seem to be offended and pleased in one by this thread…

My taste is good, you all suck! Unless you have the same taste…

EDIT: I’m not a failure!

:Crying face:

This isn’t a movie discussion thread guys but since you bring it up, I’ll go into a little more detail about why Star Trek pissed me off. My top ten reasons why Star Trek makes no fucking sense, in semi-chronological order and off the top of my head:

  1. if you’re about to die, why would you keep an open communication channel with your wife and infant baby so they can hear you screaming as your corpse is torn apart and sucked out into space?
  2. Why the fuck does a 12 year old kid in the year 3000 or whatever have an mp3 player with Beastie Boys on it? Why is a FLYING cop-cycle slower than a 1950s muscle car? Why is Kirks future-motorcycle not also flying?
  3. Why did the CAPTAIN show up at a dive bar to round up 4 or 5 new recruits that hadn’t even been assigned to serve on his ship yet?
  4. Why is it necessary to drill a hole to the center of a planet before dropping a black hole into it? Wouldn’t the black hole do the job by itself?
  5. McCoy gets kirk on the Enterprise by making him sick??? Doesn’t that endanger the rest of the crew, and why doesn’t Starfleet Academy have a sick bay?
  6. I swear to god some of the “space ship interior” sets had standard circa-1900s concrete flooring and steel girders.
  7. If you have spaceships and technology which can TELEPORT people, I’d think you could come up with something more effective than PARACHUTES to land on a tiny platform. Of course, they then start fighting with SWORDS… And speaking of this moronic scene, does a military spacecraft with a crew of thousands really not have ANY actual soldiers on board, so they have to pick random flight-deck officers as an assault team? What the fuck are all these people doing (besides popping out babies at inconvenient times)?
  8. Why in the christ would Spock maroon Kirk on a random planet? Don’t they have a brig? Which brings me back to my previous point, why in the fuck is the Enterprise so large and well-crewed, if all the significant actions in the movie are undertaken by the same 3 or 4 flight deck officers, who also recruit mission-critical crew members (i.e. the engineer) at random. They rescued the former captain from an entire ship full of hostiles using only the two top-ranking officers! Did they even try to explain why it had to be those two, I forget. If so, the explanation is guaranteed to be gibberish.
  9. Scotty being beamed into giant, conveniently transparent water-tubes, which for some reason are not unbearably hot or cold, but do lead to a giant rotating blade mechanism with no apparent purpose. And the water has an escape hatch!!!
  10. Final scene is an awards ceremony. Kirk gets a medal. How fucking hard are you ripping off Star Wars?

Bonus #11: lets escape from the gravitational pull of a black hole by shooting all of our fuel into the black hole, where it will somehow explode at faster-than-light speeds and push our spaceship away!

And while I’m still thinking about space battles, they talked about “shields” throughout the entire movie, but there was not a single scene where the “shields” protected any ship in the movie from being smashed or exploded. I believe there was even a shot where a piece of space debris scraped the top of the Enterprise and knocked off a bunch of metal. What the fuck is the point of having “shields” if they don’t do anything?

ok I’ll stop now, I’m raising my blood pressure just thinking about that movie.

There’s GOT to be… Some… OTHER way.

#32

Well, obviously! But I don’t know what that has to do with me thinking Cloverfield was a film which used the easily goofy and cheeseball conceit of having everything be shot with a handheld camera to excellent dramatic effect; they even got the storyline structure to be brilliant, flashbacks and all. Not to mention seeing a giant monster go around and step on people being awesome.

#33

I get annoyed when little American children scream ‘WHAT NOW?’ in most online games. It’s just a phrase that terribly annoys me. Not that I’m bashing Americans, my best friend is one. But he’s not the type that does that. That’s why he’s still my friend.

I played CS for like 3 hours and I was like, damn my team sucks, then I looked at my score and realized I was at the top of the list.

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuu-

#35

I played CS on my own and realised I was at the top of the list.

#36

Lucky for you, there’s people that make porn for that.:fffuuu:

#37

High-five! :3

#38

I dunno about other people, but I play CS because I like to shoot people in the face, not to be cool.

#39

I got banned from my father’s gun shop because I couldn’t stop aiming people in the face. I also get my knife out when I run, because it’s faster.

As strange as that sounds, it doesn’t. All my friends hate CS though.
