Star Wars 7 (Non-Spoiler Thread)

This is the NON-spoiler thread, which Jonsey will insist means nobody can post anything here, because if he hears what kind of sandwich you had for lunch the day you saw it, he'll think it's a spoiler and flip out on you.

You had a sandwich the day you watched Star Wars? Great. So now I know it wasn't so intense that you couldn't eat.

Amazing. Jerk says "no spoilers" and posts a spoiler.

Considering how Lucas fucked up the God-awful prequels, I was kind of worried how he was going to shit on #7. At least he got someone else to direct.

Expect a lot of lens flare as J. J. Abrams makes his attempt to shit on #7. Like what he's done with Transformers. When does it open, anyway? I'm still thinking I want to go see it.

Not for a while now, you've still got plenty of time.

God, what a great post, Paul. YOU DO YOU, baby. You do you.

I didn't care for some of what J.J. Abrams did with Battlestar Galactica, either.

Exactly in what fashion is what I said objectively wrong? What is your evidence and facts to support what you have to say?

1. Does J.J. Abrams tend to use lens flare (especially where it isn't necessary) on a regular basis in the movies he makes?
2. Has J.J. Abrams ever done one or more films which it is reasonable to state thet the fillm is badly made, a not entertaining movie and/or is out-and-out unwatchable?
3. Is it reasonable for a person to have seen one or more Transformers films or see reviews of these films and come to the conclusion that they are badly made or otherwise fall into the category of question #2?

If any or all of these are true then how is my statement wrong? What's your evidence?

JJ Abrams never worked on one frame of the Transformers movies.

Mainly that, yes.

First, My apologies for mistaking J.J. Abrams for Michael Bay, I had gotten the (clearly erroneous) impression from some statements that he also did Transformers.

Second, are you always a pedantic asshole?

All you had to do for the original response was post five words "Abrams never made Transformers." Or "Abrams never worked on Transformers." Either of which would have been much more devastating and far more effective.

So you end up wasting posts for about six messages because you're too much of an asshole to just make a simple response. Even your overly dramatic final response would have been better than the stupid initial response you originally made.

Pkease excuse the length of this message. I'm just really trying to figure out why you act so much like a bastard. Is it because you still have a plan for world domination that begins by driving everyone off this BBS?

And you pissed me off so badly I miscounted the number of words in the first example.

All of your posts are terrible lately. Do something about this immediately.

And change the SIG to read: 'TURNED left at Greenland.'

You want to be accurate as well as funny.

It's this kind of shit I can't stand, Paul. You want to be told when you're writing shitty messages? Here ya go. Here's one.

Also he thought he was replying to me, but was instead replying to poor, innocent Fraser, who now will probably never come back. :(

And I apologize, I probably should not be so quick to make replies when I'm angry.

Oh shit, am I pissed. When I tried to post this message it was blanked out, meaning there is a character in the posting that PHPBB does not like, so a bug in the software completely empties the post, zeroing it out to a blank message. So I was cutting the message and going to paste it back a block at a time until I found the bad characters and deleted them.

I don't know how I made the mistake, but I clicked on "submit" instead of "preview" and thus posted only a piece of my reply. Here's the rest.

I was just really upset that you made an asininely stupid comment with that multiple link reference to a buzzer sound instead of doing in the first place what Frazier did that I mistook for you simply and plainly stating the answer.

Check the following video at roughly 0:20 and the word he uses is clearly "turn" NOT "turned".

Since two different sources agree with me - including the original speaker - I stand by my statement.
