It was not a derogatory comment. Your username, on the other hand, is a bit more iffy.

Quote:
this site is a movie and movie media site,and if it supports the industry then it can do without comments of that kind

We can similarly do without you hijacking the thread, thankyouverymuch.

i work in the cinema,and get naff wages because of FORUM MEMBERS like that

You work in the cinema and get "naff wages" because you present yourself like the 16 year old you are.

Quote:
maybe you should think before getting on your high horse,telling people what and what not to do or say

Likewise. You're the one who started this entire conversation, not us.

or do you work for a company that believes in giving its products away freely,or do you just agree that the death of the cinema by whatever contributing factors is a good thing?

Overreact much? The death of cinema, as you call it, isn't going to be from people walking into another movie after theirs finishes. It's going to be from halfwit productions, ginormous budgets and a depressed economy.

perhaps even good enough to BRAG & BOAST about on websites supposedly supporting the movie industry,and supposedly staffed by people who feel passionate about movies and their place..THE CINEMA

So now we're the bad guys for allowing free speech? You don't get out much, do you?

Jason, now you've ticked me off

FREE SPEECH

dont make me laugh

1000s of topics and the mention of em are taboo on here

FREE SPEECH ENDED 9/11

A GANG OF PEOPLE SNEAKING INTO A CINEMA=60 TO 120 DOLLARS REVENUE LOST/STOLEN(they only paid to watch one film)

AND WHY BANG ON AT ME

I AINT STEALING OR SWEARING OR TROLLING OR FLAMING

IF I TOOK $20 OUT OF YOUR WALLET EVERY WEEK

I DONT THINK IT WOULD BE TOO LONG BEFORE YOU COMPLAINED

AND THE CINEMA I WORK IN IS OF THE SMALL INDEPENDANT TYPE

AND WE RELY VERY HEAVILY ON OUR PATRONS PAYING TO VIEW FILMS...UNLIKE THE MULTIPLEXES THAT MAKE A KILLING FROM REFRESHMENTS

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU CONDONE THIEVERY IN ALL FORMS
AND HAVE AN UNDERLYING HATRED OF PEOPLE,WHO BELIEVE IN A FAIR AND JUST LIFE

MAYBE I AM ACTING LIKE A SIXTEEN YRS OLD

BUT YOUR COMMENT MAKES YOU SOUND 10YRS OLD AND SCUM


SMEGGY.....AND ...I ...DONT...CARE...THAT...IVE...TICKED...YOU...OFF.................SO WHAT!

Like what? I don't think we've ever shut down a conversation here unless it had become vulgar. And even then, only certain posts were removed.

Nice way to bring up something which has nothing to do with anything.

Not once has someone condoned that behavior in this thread. Not. Once. If you wanted to legitimately discuss the topic, you could have started a new thread dedicated to behavior like this. Seeing as you decided to hijack a thread of opening your own discussion, I can only surmise you have no idea how online message boards work. Or the etiquette thereof.

Hijacking=Trolling.

I don't doubt there would be complaints. Therefore, I'd keep a closer eye on my wallet. Maybe these theaters need better security. (Which is not to excuse walking into another movie.)

And I'm guessing you know who goes in and out of every single theater. Since you're a small operation, you have a much larger stake in what happens. In the multiplexes owned by giant companies, the basic employees probably don't much care.

Yep, you got me. I walk into three movies every weekend after paying for one. I grab a couple CD's at Best Buy and stick them in my bag, too.

Grow up, dude. I haven't defended this type of behavior. Period. Nor will I. You're the one making it a crime against humanity. Why not put your energies into something a bit more productive?

Quote:

See, the difference between you and me is I can refute you point by point without calling you a name. It's called maturity. You might want to look it up. I can assure you the people I've known for the last 2 years here on DVDTown and the places I've written for the last 10 years know I'm not scum or 10 years old.

And really, is "scum" the worst thing you can come up with? I've been called much MUCH worse.

You'll find there are people you shouldn't tick off around here. I don't promise anything, but just a friendly warning.

At last! Something we agree on!

Yes, I would agree. But you also shouldn't hijack a thread which was talking about a particular movie. Start a new thread, as I already mentioned.

Jason, amused

"I AINT STEALING OR SWEARING OR TROLLING OR FLAMING" --SMEGMA

Actually, ITSTHROBBING, you are trolling. You disrupted a perfectly good thread, changed the subject, and made an attack for no reason except purposely to disrupt. In fact, each of your posts since you were banned and re-registered under a new name have been disruptive troll posts.

I have asked the editor to ban you again. And you will re-register under yet another name, and we will continue to play this game until you quit and go home.

John

so what john?

taboo subjects on this site include

everything that SOME longer term members disagree with

espiecially those like you

waffle your big long words and theorys on how you are a supreme being and the finest measurment of a man on this planet

just call yourself a twat
its much easier

I think I found a picture of SMEGMA!

So does anyone care to actually talk about Get Smart?

Jason, curious

Jason I hear you saw this and then sneaked into another movie? :p

Anyway I'd like to see this but I still haven't seen Indy 4 or Kung Fu Panda, plus Dark Knight is comin and who knows what else. Priorities! I'll see it on video for sure though.

Jason do you think there will be a sequel to this?

Funny guy!

I'd put GS above Panda and Indy, to tell you the truth. More of a date movie or something light to bring the family to (with 12 yo+ kids). But then, Dark Knight is going to blow everything else away, obviously.

Quote:

I think this works as a "one and done" better than an ongoing franchise. Hathaway, a serious actress of sorts, can't be thrilled with the idea of playing in a comedy for the next decade. The cast is going to get prohibitively expensive, unless WB locked them in for three movies in their original contract. And, while GS did win the weekend ($39.1 mil, IIRC, domestic), the production budget was $80 mil. It will make back its budget, but will be knocked down to 2 or lower next weekend with Wall*E opening...and then Hancock and then Dark Knight.

The short version? How many times can they go to the same story without feeling overdone and old? How much is there to do with a secret agent? They've already pulled the mole, destruction of HQ, Russia and nuclear weapons out of the hat. How many other stories are there, really, that deserve to be on the big screen?

Jason, watch me be proven wrong tomorrow

i saw it on saturday with my mom, my sister, and my gf.

dude, i was sooooo disappointed. all the best laughs were in the trailer. the rest of the movie was very flat...worse than day-old soda.
