Man, I really hope they don't mess up the sequels to Rambo and Rocky. Those two franchises have definitely seen better days—too many bad follow-ups, you know?

I. L-e said:Come on, ironbadger31, stop overthinking things... just stand tall like a man!
I’d say more like... standing on rubber legs? Because when ironbadger31 tries to "stand tall," he looks more like a vertical bowl of Jell-O... totally wobbly... you know?

And what do you think—do you actually stand a chance, or is it just some Zionist clique pulling the strings?
Obviously you know—you don't have a shot. Because nobody actually likes you "poor souls"... it's practically your full-time job!😂
The stuff going on in people's heads is just wild...
You really think that would stop the "higher-ups" from rigging the polls? Just look at how they handled that whole mess about whether YOU called for genocide. We all know how this board operates—creating fake accounts, the whole nine yards. And remember what they did during the first vote just to shut down one specific user? That absolute joke of a rule manipulation is going to go down in internet history.
Anyway—go ahead, enjoy it, live it up... "now is your time to rule the dark..."
Exactly, Rebecca Miller2! I was starting to wonder where our hero had disappeared to. Let her have it! Who cares! 👍
cro Fag said:You're totally right— I don't really get this kind of humor— Reminds me of that guy singing over there—you know the one?
I’m all about that sense of humor—stuff like Airplane! and Young Frankenstein.
So you don't dig that movie either? Honestly, I don't see why you're getting all worked up about it—is it because you grew up in some small town where being gay meant every little vulgar joke felt like a personal attack on your past or something? Look, you're forgiven, mostly because I’m a huge fan of Airplane! too. It's just a shame you can't actually enjoy the satire, since the whole point of the film is to mock that exact kind of narrow-mindedness. If someone feels insulted by it, they're basically proving they're exactly what the movie is making fun of, right? But whatever.
Gerald Barrett25 said:Basically, when they talk about "technique," they’re just being too polite to tell you they aren't even thinking about it—they're just too well-mannered to shut you down instantly... 😁 😛
Honestly though... I feel the exact same way about this topic 😉
Oh, they're definitely thinking about it. But if you've spent any real time with women (you know, during those breaks between movie marathons 😛), you realize they're constantly thinking about it too—they just play coy to be nice.
Besides, didn't you say you've been obsessing over this for two days straight already?
So, quit stalling and just give it to us straight. 😁 😁 😁
newcomer said:After spending like two whole days overthinking this—and honestly, I tend to write posts pretty compulsively—there are two main things bugging me about this topic... plus a couple of issues regarding the author 😉
First off, there are really two ways people look at movies globally—well, three if you count the outliers—but basically, some see film as pure art, complete with all those built-in aesthetic standards. Since those metrics are pretty subjective, trying to objectively judge a movie usually just turns into a big debate about culture rather than the actual work itself. On the flip side, others just see movies as entertainment, where the value boils down to how much fun you had—which really just depends on how willing you are to embrace that "suspension of disbelief" thing. Then there's that third category—those trashy flicks that try to blend mindless fun with high-art pretension... but we can get to that later.
Second, there are a few different ways you could actually frame this idea... and it looks like some people have already started picking them apart. You could categorize by directors who were so innovative they became industry benchmarks... or maybe by decades, looking at how the medium evolved step-by-step over time... or even by major historical milestones tied to specific films that changed everything, even if the movies themselves feel dated now.
And finally... this is all super subjective, right? I mean, an objective approach would require some kind of intense academic rigor—something I’m trying my best to avoid when I'm just thinking about movies.
So, after all that... I'm still chewing on how to tackle this... 🙄
That's basically the same response I get from women when I ask if they want to hook up...
Quickly, a few more that definitely deserve a shoutout:
A Clockwork Orange—purely for the ultra-violence. Jaws—just because of the sheer terror. I mean, after seeing that movie, you think twice before jumping into a pool, right? Once Upon a Time in the Wild West—for that incredible score, those three legendary themes, and all the nods to other westerns...
Rocky Balboa—strictly because he snagged the Oscar instead of the Taxi Driver. 😁
