The Avengers thread(may contain spoilers)

[Russell]

It had nothing to do with the Reel Steel, although I found your tone pretty grating.  It was your being completely dismissive of and condesending to someone who'd just said they liked it.

Fair enough, I am very sorry about that.

[D.B. Barnes]

It's his go-to defense. That, and making fun of people's names.

Do you REALLY think I do that to cause offense? Because I do that out of affection and not out of a desire to pick on somebody or aggravate somebody.    I mean seriously, are you offended when I call you Barnesy Rubble? Because if you are, I will stop. Hell, same with the shitting on movies thing, if somebody tells me they're offended, I'll usually apologize and offer to stop(Yes, I really mean that). However, given how often movies are trashed here I find it very unusual when somebody gets offended by a non-personal attack against a movie.

If it's out of affection, then why did you delete the one you wrote about Scott?

Movies can be really important to people, and they often feel the need to defend them. I'm sure you, of all people, understand this. Seems to me that you've taken great offense at non-personal criticisms of Star Trek 2009 on a multitude of occasions.

[Russell]

If it's out of affection, then why did you delete the one you wrote about Scott?

Even if I did do that, I deleted it because I thought it was off-color and could cause offense Barnes. And I only take offense to the Star Trek 09 complaints because they're nothing but the same thing over and over and over, not just once, twice, or three times a lady, I mean like double digits you and everyone else going on and on about the fucking lens flare. If you got a complaint that's new, fine, whatever! Let's fucking hear it.

That's laughable. You spew the exact same complaints ad-infinitum when it comes to the prequels. Don't be such a fucking hypocrite. Your arguments just don't stand up to scrutiny and historical fact.

And like Scott just mentioned, you seem to have a stable of movies that you hate with a pretty strong intensity and any time one of them is mentioned, you take that opportunity to slam it with a response that's completely disproportionate to the context in which it was originally mentioned.

[Russell]

And that's why I snapped and got out of that george lucas hate thread.  Same fucking thing, over and over and over and over.

And I have been resisting like hell to not directly complain about him in that thread lately. You have no idea how difficult that is for me.

Infinite indicates that I have gone on for an infinite amount of time about the prequels, and yet I haven't been complaining about them(much) lately. Barnes, didn't I just see you venomously hating on all comic book movies in general in this or another thread? Yet, I responded in a fairly civilized manner.

That's your response? That you haven't been complaining about them much lately? Give me a fucking break. Why can't you just admit when you're wrong? Why do you choose instead to cling to flawed arguments?

And really, if you took that comic book rant seriously, you're more clueless than I thought. You know me better than that and yet you used that as an argument because the position from which you're arguing is flimsy at best.

I think my response to your own indicates whether I was being serious or not. Barnes, I have admitted many times I am wrong lately. I am capable of being humble and apologizing when somebody is hurt or offended. All anyone must do is ASK.

So, let me get this straight. You didn't take it seriously at first, but when it became potential ammunition in an argument, you conveniently changed your mind and took it seriously? Do you realize how ridiculous that is? Do you realize how little sense that makes? Honestly, how can you participate in adult discussions using such bizarre reasoning?

And you're right. I have seen you admit that you're wrong lately. I'm just wondering why you seem unable to do it now.

[Russell]

Probably best that we avoid each other for a while. For both our sakes.

No. Why are you unwilling to admit that you're wrong in this one situation, as opposed to others? I think I deserve an answer to that question.

[Smith Dr John Smith]

Am I the only one who was hoping that the Super Bowl trailer would tell us something about the plot,I was a little let down by that trailer.

Did you see the extended superbowl trailer? It gave slightly more info. But not much.

I'll have to look it up online next time I am at the library.

[Russell]

I'm sorry, I'd rather not get into it.

That's a bullshit cop out. At least show you have some courage in your own convictions. Don't be a fucking coward.

Hmm. Are they supposed to actually look like they're all together in the scene? Because it sorta doesn't. And Black Widow's face looks kinda funky for some reason.
