We can't move on from the past eh?
Well, let's just get down to insults shall we? Yeah, my problem isn't that I disliked this poorly made movie. No. It's because I have hang ups and I can't get out of the 80's that I gave this a thumbs down.
I think it's funny that many Hisstank members just can't help but jump in here to defend their movie, and second guess the views of their fellow members. After all, I thought this thread was for those who hated the movie.
Of course, then you have our respected moderators sinking into this back and forth. A common bond that a few of them share is to tell us that we've gone about making our point all wrong.
Heck, I saw one moderator tell someone that if they didn't know what they were talking about, that they should basicly not post. Another moderator quoted him and reinforced his point. That's fine to say, but it sure gives newcomers an idea or two about this forums administration. I've got some reverse advice for them. Be a moderator. Be respectful, and don't try to stifle perfectly acceptable posts. Of course, they don't have to take my advice. For all I know my comments might offend them. I hope not but judging from some of the posts I've read I might strike a nerve.
That's not my goal. My goal is to continue to use this forum and perhaps mention how I feel about the movie. Everyone is entitled to that, aren't they? Did you see my Care Bears the Movie image? If it's funny, then you know why ROC may be getting flak. If you see no humor in it, then sure, I guess we're not going to see eye to eye.
Either way on Hisstank.com alone I've read a novels worth of logical and tangible reasons to avoid this movie. As for other sites with less of a GI Joe bias, well, I'll make no claims, you just check for yourselves. I'm not going to repeat myself, but my review is already posted in this thread. Many are. If you cannot comprehend where we're coming from with negative reviews, then that's on you. Nothing we can say or do will convince some folks and that's fine because I can't say that we want to win you over anyways. You can go you way, we'll go ours.
However, by going our seperate ways, maybe you can restrain yourself when it comes to posting a defense of the movie in a thread designed for those that hate the movie? That would be much appreciated. I for one don't go to favorable threads to try to change minds, because I lack the supernatural ability to alter your mind to my whims. I know that it's futile, hell, we all should be aware of that.
Oh, and one problem with my care bears image. Feedback informs me that the Sommer's really isn't feeling their heads. Too much care bear, not enough Sommers.
