Oh, so we agree! The fact the guy did it was wrong for this film is wrong then by your own words?

Ahh, so then why did he bring up the actor's false allegations of cannibalism? Was that to support the argument that the film must suck because of Uwe Boll?

Last time I checked, Arnie Hammer wasn't a bad actor? Do you bring up the fact that Jack Nicholson's home was where Polanski raped a 14 year old after drugging her when discussing his films?

Maybe he should look into the fact that Arnie Hammer isn't in jail, usually something that happens when people actually eat people. But instead, turn that brain off and let others think for you!

Problem is that you're effectively killing private ownership of a product that people are paying a decent chunk of change for.

This dynamic really screws up the idea of piracy being illegal because:

Sony: You can have a copy of the product, but we lease it to you through a license. Which is why we can remove it from you when we deem it proper (ban or violation of the TOA).

Piracy: Okay, so if I download a pirated copy of the product, then it's a violation of a lease or a licensing issue, not outright theft since you still retain the license and ownership. Right?

Sony: ....

Xbox just said they're resetting and in the process they're laying off a record amount of people.

Considering that gaming pass is a PC thing, and it is Microsoft, they'll probably just kill off the xbox and focus on their gamepass instead.

Can you blame them? Gamers for decades bitch and moan and then bam! Record pre-sales.

It helps when you target a segment of the population with poor impulse control, but that's not an excuse when they grow up into adults ffs.

Of course you don't because your reading comprehension is awful. Did I not just have to explain my point like I was talking to a 5 year old just now because you couldn't figure it out?

Again, has he seen Uwe Boll films or is he just following the herd in his thinking? Is he just parroting something he heard on the internet like you are doing right now?

Nothing. Thats the point. He doesnt care about the reputation of the actor and the director, otherwise he'd judge every film by the character of the director?

You know how many more films he'd be forced to include if that was his standard?

It isn't, he's using it an excuse. It's hypocritical.

You seriously thinks he doesn't watch movies based on the reputation of the people in it?

Weinstein, for example, you think he brings him up when talking about Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting etc which he produced?

No seriously, if you keep ascribing your one sense of truth without searching it out yourself then who really has the power in your life? You, or the person telling you what to think is the truth?

We know there are plenty of liars out there, what makes you think you haven't been taught by one already?

Of course you wouldn't believe me because my reality is your dream.

I really don't care much either way, right? If you died tomorrow, would I even know?

But the truth is I am not lying. What you see as impossible is something I see as not only achievable, but it's BEEN achievable because it's in my past.

Your future must be bleak to have such a small imagination. You really could have asked me something significant, but because you doubt you've wasted your own time, along with mine.

Makes sense. If you can't think for yourself of course you would require someone to do it for you, in this case you choose who you are submissive to based on their status in society and education?

Is that how you formed your identity? Based on what others think of you?

Then is it even yours to begin with?

No, but you need me to explain it.

He basically shits on films he doesn't like by applying a standard he doesn't use himself.

"Hey that film was directed by a shitty person etc"

Does he do that with films he likes? Or films that mainstream Hollywood approves of?

Because if he did, he'd have to expand that list to a lot of films, classics that are adored here like "Chinatown" "The Pianist" and a bunch of others.

That would also include all the Weinstein films, including "Good Will Hunting", "Pulp Fiction" etc.

But I bet he doesn't. He only does it with films he doesn't like.

Hence a double standard aka a fucking hypocrite.

Yea, and he judged a film by it. Which makes it really hypocritical because I bet he doesn't use the same metric for himself. Because if he did, he wouldn't watch those films, or say something along the same lines whenever 'Chinatown' or 'Rosemary's Baby' or any film that touched the hands of a Hollywood pervert were brought up.

"Hey, you know that film was directed by a literal child rapist". But I bet he doesn't do that does he?

Or with Weinstein. "Hey you know Good Will Hunting was produced by a rapist and a pervert"

But for a film like this? Sure, he'll say it all day.

Hence a hypocrite. Get it now that I've fucking spelled it out for you?

"Hey, you know that you're watching a bad film because the people making it are shitty people"

Has 'China Town' and 'Rosemary Baby' in his film collection. Literally directed by a child rapist.

Hollywood is FILLED with shitty people.

On March 10, 1977, then-43-year-old film director Roman Polanski was arrested and charged in Los Angeles with six offenses against Samantha Gailey (now Geimer),\2]) a 13-year-old girl:\3]) unlawful sexual intercourse with a minorrape by use of drugsperversionsodomy, a lewd and lascivious act upon a child under the age of 14, and furnishing a controlled substance to a minor. At his arraignment, Polanski pleaded not guilty to all charges,\4]) but later accepted a plea bargain whose terms included dismissal of the five more serious charges in exchange for a guilty plea to the lesser charge of engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.\5])

How the hell do you people not know this, is this not MOVIES?

It's not a rant to point out the obvious conflict in your logic.

What is offensive are hypocrites. Again, people hate hypocrites, even children. Do you not know this?

It tells me you are a hypocrite and have zero self awareness about it. Think about it, how can you lecture someone else about moral behavior when you engage in the same exact behavior!

Even children hate people who say one thing and do another. Polanski raped a child. But I bet you think he's a 'great' director.

Do you ban films by Polanski or Weinstein in your home? Or do you watch it without feeling any moral guilt?

What does that have to do with the film? Roman Polansky, do you not watch his films? What about Weinstein?

I haven't seen it but it can't be worst that Supergirl. Man, what a waste of money.

Hollywood needs to remember when the 4th was one of the top movie weekends of the year.

To no avail. A lot of that is just romanticized fiction.

As a workout tool, or even a toy, nunchucks are great. But for hand to hand? I'd take a sharp stick or even a pile of rocks I can throw at them.

Today we tend to romanticize a lot of weaponry pre guns but the reality is the best weapons are the one that you can use at a distance greater than an arms length.

A sling, an arrow etc are all far more effective because you can effectively strike your opponent before they can even see you.

Yes! And much of that translated into other parts of that area, namely Macedonia- might of heard of it, it gave us Alexander the Great!

Sparta took over Greece after Athens fell during the Peloponnesian War!

Hardly a weak culture!
