Arcs you don't want to happen

Welcome aboard, Darth. And congrats on keeping the tradition of awesome first posts! :smiley:

And to think, all this time I thought they were saying “cock butt” :smiley:

Ok so I’m behind on the 'cast and this is not helping motivate me… I’ve got to wade past Terminator 3 (Shlonginator has been the high point thus far in my recatchup), and now I find I’m gonna have to contend with cop butts as well as Senatorial Shlongs?

yoish…

…anyway… oh yes, contributing to the thread.

Arc I don’t want to happen, and I’m gonna get some craaap for this, but Dr. Who (newgen). Haven’t been able to raise an iota of interest for it, couldn’t say why, apart from in-built bloodymindedness given that its nigh on impossible to move in UK for people who blather about it like its the second coming.

That’s because the Ninth Doctor was actually in The Second Coming. :slight_smile:

Oh dear you just reminded me of another big assed disappointment (IMCO - not humble, more crotchety)… Heroes - started with such high hopes for it but by the end of season 1 myself and g/f were :rolleyes: so much we were dizzy.

edit : the reminding though was that I defoo liked thingamechops character in Heroes

edit 2 : and on a constructive note had missed on Unbreakable until seeing it last night and I liked the treatment there of emerging Hero/Villain … Director knows how to draw out every erg from his movie though for sure

Nope. It’s the vampires! All the Whedonverse I know is Firefly and Dr Horrible…

Here, I have this lovely bag, and it’s full of craaaaaaaaaaap :wink:

I’ll admit I wasn’t too interested in Who… but then I picked up the DVDs from the library, and I got hooked. I love it (and as I child I didn’t really love Who, so yeah).

We sure do havea a lot of Floridians. If I have to move back in with my mom, one consolation would be getting to meet some of you.

Exceptions prove the rule. I was thinking of the nightmare that would be
Wild, Wild West
TNG episode with Mark Twain and Data’s head
Time Rider

Unbreakable is the totally underrated/acknowledged super hero movie. I still haven’t seen Iron Man, but until Dark Knight, I ranked it as the best super hero movie.

Ending is wanting, (I think there was supposed to be a sequel) but yeah, it’s very underrated.

You know how some people say that BSG isn’t really sci fi? It’s drama that just happens to be in space?

Buffy isn’t really about vampires. It’s about people who just happen to live in a world where vampires exist. I mean sure, there are vampires in the show, but that’s not really the point. They are mostly a metaphor. It’s really about the relationships between the characters.

Can’t remember the Director’s name on that * sixth sense, but I have it on pretty good authority his latest has managed to take the biscuit for drrrrrraaaaaaaaaawwwinnnnnnnng out the story to unimaginable lengths.

Oh… and if you really want to mix your series’ up, if you are aware of “The IT Crowd”, then take a look at Samuel L Jackson in Unbreakable and compare/contrast with Moss… I think Moss stole Mr Glass’s hair!

All depends on what part of the State she lives in. From your handle, is it Tampa Bay?.

Really?

M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable?

Really?

Not to spread the hate or anything: it’s not his WORST movie, but…BEST superhero movie before TDK? Better than Superman? Better than Spiderman 2?

I don’t know…

I’ve heard this, which is why I plan to give Buffy a chance, even though I share Casilda’s dislike for vampire stories.

I do love (LOVE) a now mostly forgotten movie from about 7 years ago called Shadow of the Vampire, which was a bit of comedy and horror mixed in. The premise was that when F.W. Murnau set out to make Nosferatu the actor he hired to play the vampire, Max Scrheck, was AN ACTUAL VAMPIRE. Willem Defoe plays Schreck and he is simply brilliant in it. Funny, poignant, brutal, all wrapped up into one. And it’s got one of my favorite lines in any movie. After Schreck tries to kill the screenwriter, Murnau asks him, “Why couldn’t you eat the…SCRIPTGIRL?” “The scriptgirl? BAH! I’ll eat her later,” says Schreck.

Priceless!

I had thought Buffy was a silly kid’s show, but then I was on a military history discussion board, and about a dozen of the older male board members were talking about how great the show was with the fantastic writing and acting and humor and pathos…

So I started to watch and I’ll just say that if you like “Firefly” you will also enjoy “Buffy” and “Angel”.

Nuff said.

I agree, only the Buffy/angel series was good.

The rest is mostly emo, whinny, with a taste for underage girls (witch I really find disturbing), bad dressers who thinks they are cool.

If you are 400 years old you should not act like a 12 year old. Except if vampirism doesn’t cure senility. You can well at kids to get off your lawn.

I’m so tired of the over dramatic, bad poets, who are kind of more like a giant parasite.

I always think that the subject could be cool but is always badly interpreted.

I’m 32 and I can difficultly imagine going out with younger women than 23 (no offense to the younger crowd, but life experience and at witch life step you are counts for a lot). Imagine if you are like 500 years old. Old ladies would bugs you by their immaturity.

But worse arc would be :

Any reality show.

its as easy as eating pancakes.

no to Scifi inspired porn arc.

its like i dont even know you anymore? :stuck_out_tongue:

you’re right, what was i thinking :eek:
