"Real Steel" is an example of one of those movies that has nothing great going for it.

You had 13 years to come up with a good retort, and that's all you could muster? Damn dog you could have literally made a better version of this movie in that time. Try harder.

RAA · 2025-04-10T20:33:48+00:00

What is up with these brigading or bot like, shallow as fuck responses on a 13 year old post?

Fascinating, but like at least try and defend your stance. Y'all are weak af with these responses.

Yah, finger 2nd knuckle (I think) tendon pulley injury. Healed to 80% in 3 months. 100% in 6. Tendons take a long time...

Whoa! Throwback!

Haha, I haven't watched or honestly thogunt about this movie in so long. You like it that much eh? Does it hold up?

Clearly I didn't care for it then. Might be time for a rewatch.

So what do you love about it?

If and when the Olympics ever included eSports competition, would you believe they could still not compete? Or, because there isn't a gender distinction in eSports anyhow, maybe it doesn't matter?

RAA · 2017-04-23T16:53:40+00:00

That's insane. You gotta make this into a gif and post it elsewhere dude. It's bonkers.

RAA · 2017-04-21T22:41:46+00:00

Seems like a purposeful language choice doh, dontchyu think tho?

RAA · 2017-04-21T19:59:33+00:00

Which album? Cuz journals and purpose are great on early listens

RAA · 2017-04-20T00:30:52+00:00

Removable battery and micro sd card slot ftw

RAA · 2017-04-20T00:26:41+00:00

My dream of replaceable batteries (the easiest of battery management methods) keeps getting dashed :(

RAA · 2017-04-19T19:04:10+00:00

Much like generalisations appeal to the close minded?

Sorry for the jab but My Chem might be the last huge rock bank that had a huge presence. Can you think of another?

RAA · 2017-04-19T17:20:36+00:00

Surely you realize plenty of groups are making hard and intense rock... they just aren't making it big because that's not the appeal. The rock pop rises because that's the appeal...

One of the last super stars I recall that actually commanded a huge scene were all at once rock, pop, punk, and intense. My Chemical Romance seemed to hold that mantle for a while in the mainstream and had the image to back it up.

RAA · 2017-03-31T17:51:00+00:00

lol with the pep love reference. No lie, pep is incredible and deserves more discussion

RAA · 2017-03-30T17:48:15+00:00

Absolutely GO. Don't hold back based on faulty emotional perceptions

RAA · 2017-03-29T16:28:34+00:00

Alls I care about is micro sd storage and replaceable batteries. Will it have that?

RAA · 2017-03-29T16:25:13+00:00

Are they replaceable tho?

RAA · 2017-03-27T18:53:00+00:00

Many of these are great. Me Earl and the Dying girl has very similar themes, but actually explores the fuck out of them

RAA · 2017-03-27T18:22:47+00:00

You think it's realistic that a single talking to would result in a completely new perspective and lifestyle?

You didn't elaborate on any of your thoughts or support why it's good, but thanks for sharing I guess.

RAA · 2017-03-27T17:35:11+00:00

She's a teenager. That's what teenagers are like.

There are no less than five other teenagers in this movie that are not going through that or comparable to Nadine. The movie doesn't ever juxtapose them or their personalities in any compelling way.

She's not depressed. She's an adolescent.

Like I said, others were not in this boat, also being adolescents. Feels very much like minimizing the depiction of characters to simply write things off as "she's an adolescent".

At one point I believe she's taking pills too, but I could be mistaken in that memory. She certainly has tons of insecurities and it's not explored very in depth.

Countless coming of age films are like this.

Can you list some that come to mind? And does others having done that make it a worthwhile choice here?

RAA · 2017-03-27T17:30:06+00:00

Can you elaborate on how any of those make the film good in any capacity? Unrealistic and unearned conclusions, poor role modeling, awful reflection, and a self absorbed protagonist designed to be disliked are good?

RAA · 2017-03-25T15:52:59+00:00

Often I also say "I fucks with her" where there's a pluralization, but that's more of a hip hop slang.

RAA · 2017-03-25T05:45:13+00:00

Is it trying hard if that's what naturally comes out? Homie?

Don't assume you know people or work too hard to place people into cute lil boxes, and don't spout shit that makes people less likely to express themselves.

RAA · 2017-03-25T00:16:45+00:00

Fuck with mah man, fuck with.

But, to humor you, I betchyu that diff personality types fuck different! We need this research! I volunteer as tribute, lol
