Goodfellas and all three Godfather movies.

Godfather was just terrible.  Goodfellas was awful too.  Mainly, I despise mafia movies or TV shows.  Mafia types are evil, violent, horrible criminals, who should not be glamorized in this fashion.  The Sopranos was a bane to existence.
I'm with you on that one, Thrifty. I can't stand gansters in real life and especially in movies where they are the primary characters. The Gangster movie genre is one I just cannot tolerate.

In fact, let's just erase Joe Pesci from history.
Initially I agreed with you, but then I have to admit he was good in My Cousin Vinny. His speech about the constitution was great.
And... I love Home Alone. There, I said it, flame away.

Obviously you can and do 'tolerate' it.

Although I suppose I'm 10 pages to late to try and add some perspective to this ridiculousness.

"A thing I like that there was no chance would ever continue until recently is now continuing but it doesn't meet my exact personal specifications so fuck this"

- how I read any complaint about MST3k (or Star Wars or Ghostbusters)

Tripe

Or maybe people are having fun with the concept of banning a movie without actually seriously meaning that they would do that.

The perspective thing cuts both ways...

ScottotD

I would suggest some people on this (and every other of the hundreds of tedious "I don't like this movie so it's the worst thing ever") thread are deadly serious.

But the majority aren't. So, there's the need for perspective.

Darth Geek was and he's who I was speaking to in suggesting the previous 10 pages of negativity had made his rather bizarre statement seem reasonable.

I not sure he is and if this does bother you so much why even waste the energy needed to comment on it? I mean have some perspective.

ScottotD

...like attempting to silence a lone dissenting voice? that sort of thing?

Really,why are you so het up by a stupid fun thread (with, to all but seemingly yourself, a deliberately over the top title) to declare yourself as the "sole dissenting voice" really do get a grip, it's really not that important.

If anyone is taking things to seriously I'd have to say it's you. And you do this in all these sorts of threads. We get it; you don't like threads where people talk about things they don't like. Since that's establish I have to wonder why you continue to make that same point in all of those threads yoy complain about the existence of.

So like you said, perspective, it's a useful thing to have.

Anyone who likes Home Alone more than The Godfather or Goodfellas has issues to work out.....in my humble opinion.

You say "talk about" I say 'revel in a near-constant state of outrage for no apparent reason' it's all about perspective.

Also, I couldn't hope to comment on all the threads like this.  I'm only one man.

There you go again with your lack of perspective, and still you're only contribution to this thread is essentially to say

"hmmph me no like this thread! >:("


It's a very dull response, you're a bright individual you can surely do better than that.

If you don't like this sort of thing, stop posting in this thread and others that are like it, it's a pretty simple solution really.

I don't pay computer games, ergo I don't tend to post in the computer game threads (I personally don't care about the subject so I don't really have a strong opinion one way or t'other).

Doctor Who?

Ok if this doesn't stop i am just going to delete the whole thread.

This is just supposed to be a fun game,it's not supposed to get anyone really upset and it's not supposed to start a fight.

I was serious about 'not tolerating' gangster movies, which is why I never watch them. And the few I have watched that got me to feeling this way about them I would never watch again.

As far as taking the destruction of movies too seriously, this is a Forum devoted to Rifftrax and MST3K type behavior, any discussion of actually destroying all DVDs is just rhetorical. And we all have movies that raise our bile for one reason or another.

So I'll suggest another one. Titanic the animated movie. I haven't seen it, just saw the Nostalgia Critic review of it, but taking a horrible tragedy and putting a happy ending on it, downright ignoring the hundred of deaths, is disgraceful. Say what you will about James Cameron's movie, but he at least recognized that there was a tragedy happening.
