Finally Plainview gets what he deserves for stating his opinion about a movie and posting nearly every review that he sees like he does in every thread

Wait....what?

The urge to post your avatar is extremely strong, but I'll fight it. I don't want to imagine Homer in that state of affairs. Surrounded by all those sweaty men as they unleash their urges all over him.

I have a really bad feeling this will be a disappointment. Just look at the cast, it's the next Mars Attacks!

(I loved Mars Attacks!, but we all know how it turned out)
 
The weight of expectation in this thread is bizarre.

I'm expecting a solid action film that feels like a throw back to 80's action films.

What about everyone else?

I don't understand what you mean by '....how it turned out'?

I love Mars Attacks and I think it's something of a cinematic oddity but still some of Burton's best work. IMHO.
 
mhmh DanielPlainView got renamed to Expendable. ?
:lol

The last movie i watched was Inglorius Basterds... this is gonna change.

<3 Stallone <3

I'm expecting an hour and a half of fighting, guns, blood, and explosions.
 
omfg.. I thought Daniel just got banned or something.. took me reading the entire last page to actually see what happened... :lol :lol :lol

movie looks to hopefully continue the trend of predators in bringing back the 80s actioner. LOVED predators. Looking so forward to this. Rambo was decent also, but Predators IMHO was better.

it's not that you merely posted negative reviews (of which there are clearly plenty). I'm guessing it was pretty much the glee you took from doing so and the constant negative comments IN THE OFFICIAL THREAD which saw this happen.

General rule of thumb on GAF... if you don't like something, typically spamming said dislike in the official thread of said something is a sure way to be introduced to a variety of consequences.

Expendable, what mean expendable?

It's like someone invites you to a party and you don't show up. It doesn't really matter.

if you liked the most recent Rambo, you'll enjoy this. same basic setup and delivery. with a little less story and a little more "personality" (with all these action stars together, a lot of personality is obvious).

it's good popcorn shit. that's what it was made for. Inception, it is not. then again, Inception is not Expendibles. adjust your expectations accordingly and enjoy. I did.

you expect correctly.

I want it to be so bad it's good. Negative reviews give me hope. :D
it's not bad. the plot isn't bad. the acting isn't bad. the cinematography isn't bad. the sfx aren't bad. nothing stood out to me as bad about the movie. like I said before, it's just short on plot and a little bit of cheese, so those can be bad things if you're looking for a flawless cinematic adventure. not a lot of character development or emotion or anything like that.

it's basic good vs bad guy shit and laying on of hurt. there are a lot of HILARIOUS moments too. intentionally hilarious.

so it's fine for tons of people to gleefully post all the terrible Last Airbender tweets/reviews in the official thread etc. but not for Expendables? Where is the line drawn? Is it because this has well-known action stars in it?

Because no one liked Airbender helps and it became a big fun joke.

Seriously so many people have been banned for similar activities in the gaming forum in official threads, stirring the pot never goes well with the mods, you got it easy.
 
Yeah I didn't care for the CG blood in Rambo and I don't care for it here either, but its better than no blood. And I hear there will be copious amounts of it.

Likely done so they could try to salvage it for PG-13 if they had too like some of the rumors originally. Sucks, hope it's not all CG, Rambo did have lot of practical gore as well.

welcome to the discretion of the mods... IMHO, no that's not fine either. but general consensus of a thread plays a big part. Movies like Last Airbender had a pretty negative official thread. Outside of you, this thread is pretty positive and upbeat about the movie. But go back to Attack of the Clones, and probably Phantom Menace is such a thread existed on GAF back then, and I'm sure you'll find an overly negative vibe in the thread with few bannings.

That's the problem with film threads, it's typically either all positivity or all negativity, and anything that goes against the grain is met with hostility. I'd be 100% alright with that if the threads were titled "Appreciation Thread" or "Depreciation Thread", but they're not, I was always under the impression that official movie threads were a place to discuss films period, regardless of which side of the fence your opinions fall on.
