Secret Santa 2024
Busy. No. Actually, I'm Busier.

Rainboweye? Dunno, not even the smallest idea... Hope he's doing okay though.


Also, do I have the honor to start a new topic? I'm starting it anyway.

Since my school is super crazy about singing, dancing, playing instruments, DJing, etc., the whole school has watched this movie called "Pitch Perfect" and so I watched it, too. I think it's pretty awesome (yes, some of the characters are "awesome as in beautiful", but I'm talking mainly about all the other stuff).
Have you watched this movie? If yes, what's your opinion? What other movies have you watched that you really liked (except "Titanic")?

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind romance, it's just that too many people say that their favorite is "Titanic", so yeah, I've heard enough comments about it.

@wannin: Haven't watched it, but I doubt I'll like it. In my experience everything that is simultaneously listed in "Romance" and "Comedy"(and this is listed in "Music" as well) tends to suck, so I have entirely given up watching movies that have those characteristics. And it appears that everyone in Hollywood seems to think a movie needs to have some kind of romance inside it to be good, which is most certainly not the case and has led to some potentially great movies suffering(examples would be in point would be In Time, Never Back Down).

As for movies that I've really liked, here's some favorites from the top of my head.

V for Vendetta(It's based on a great graphic novel, and though it makes some changes it still came out extremely good)
The Matrix Trilogy(I find something new in these movies every time I watch them. They offer much more than special effects if you pay attention, especially as you get older.)
Life of Pi - As soon as I found out Ang Lee directed it, I was sold on it. He also directed The Hulk(2003), one of my favorite movies of all time. I am not religious, but I still managed to enjoy the movie immensely - it has some of the best scenes I've ever seen. Ang Lee is one of those directors that knows how to use CGI properly.
Memento - A very complicated and awesome movie. I hadn't seen anything like it.
Hulk(2003) - It was everything I wanted a Hulk movie to be. It managed to represent the internal struggle of the characters very well. I wouldn't recommend the second Hulk movie at all ... It was basically a bad reboot. A very bad reboot.
The Shawshank Redemption - A great movie, one of the best I've seen.
The Punisher(2004) - A personal favorite.
Seven Pounds - One of the best dramas I've seen.
Welcome to the jungle/The Rundown - One of my favorite action movies, and it has plenty of funny moments.
Zeitgeist - While I wouldn't recommend trusting everything in it blindly, that's basically the point. This movie will at least make you question what you're being told, and in doing so will do you a huge favor. And it's free to download/watch.
Rush Hour Trilogy(Best action-comedy series I've seen)
I,Robot - A personal favorite.

This wall of text should be solid enough now. You're welcome xD

I'm ready for my daily dose of cringe ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Wow lordtiger, I wouldn't be surprised if you hated romance, but hating it so much? Didn't quite expect it.
Also, what's your opinion about Transformers (which ever one you've watched) and The Avengers.
And about your opinion of Transformers, I would like your comments to leave out the romance part. If there wasn't any romance in Transformers, what would your opinion be?

@wannin: I don't hate the romance genre per se, but I hate the majority of movies that aim to be "romantic comedies". My reason for this is that try to be two things at once and more often than not fail miserably at being either.

For purely romantic movies ... I don't see a whole lot of quality there. There's only so many times you can tell the "boy/girl likes other boy/girl but:

1)The relationship is impossible for some reason(all options below are options of this)
2)He/she is not in his/her league
3)The love is unrequited
4)He/she is already in love with some douche/slut which treats them poorly but they can't let go for some reason
5)The parents of both won't let it happen
6)The friends of both think it's a terrible idea and will never work, and that it could only bring suffering/tragedy/dead ponies and such
n)etc,etc ...

Then there's the predictability of the entire plot, the fact that non-happy endings do not exist in the genre, and the general assurance that love is the most powerful/awesome thing ever and nobody stands a chance against it, which is completely divorced from reality. I just don't feel as if it takes a whole lot of skill to pull off a romantic movie, but maybe that's just me. Often part of the message is that nobody has, is or ever will be happy unless he/she is in a romantic relationship, which is laughable, at least to me. I've been single(by choice) for my entire life and I enjoy my lack of chains immensely

About Transformers .... eh, Michael Bay. Explosions. Wow, we haven't seen that before. Good effects, decent performances by the actors, poorly executed story. Not among my favorite movies. When I was a kid there was a Transformers Beast Wars 3d animated show on TV. Now that was awesome, especially for that time

I don't like laptops, that's why I gave mine to my bro for christmas. That was my christmas present, but laptops are boring and I can't find a way to sit comfortably with them.

Edit by LT: This was referencing a few posts which have since been deleted and involved a dude telling accusing another dude of breaking everything, including his laptop, and the latter dude denying the accusations.

Response by omegadark1:
Thank you for clairfying. The deleted posts and this... Confused me. Your edit clarified the reason why they were deleted. Thanks again.

We have a few temporary members for about a week(basically anyone you haven't seen apply in the "Want to join?" thread). We're doing it as a favor to them, it's required so they can fulfill the birthday wish of one of their pals. It's not permanent and it's nothing to worry about, me and Pitch are aware of it and made it happen.

P.S: Ferras, I don't believe I know you, but please posting crap(your posts in our "Want to join?" thread, your advice to UnNaMeD666) I need to delete later. We have rules, and as long as you post in our forum you'll have to follow them or your posts will get deleted. If that doesn't help you will be reported, but I don't want it to go that far. You don't have to reply to this.
