The Dark Knight Rises

[baumer]

The last sentence from my earlier post works as a response to that. And, ok... Maybe I'll start, not spamming, but posting in each Twilight thread just how much it sucks. Every. Day. Don't call it spam, it's just my opinion.

 

No one is bumping up the Twilight threads to say how they hate them.  They don't have 80 pages of bifurcated opinions.

[ChD]

If what I do is spam in here then so is every other person who posts multiple times about how much they love it.

 

Yea, but you're the mod here. You should be the clever person in this thread, not the one who repeatedly starts conflicts. You know too well that people are gonna start arguing over you post and still do it.

[baumer]

The fact that Twilight, American Reunion, TMW, Red Tails, Red Dawn and anything from Happy Madison makes your list pretty much kills any credibility you have for judging the quality of other films

 

All were better than TDKR.

It's time they do.

This thread doesn't need me to thrive.  It lives on its own.

[baumer]

It's time they do.

 

Nobody cares about those threads.  It'll be you and Squaremaster talking to yourselves.  lol

[ChD]

This thread doesn't need me to thrive.  It lives on its own.

 

Really? Wanna see that If you stop posting in this thread, EVER, it won't hit 100pages till New Year? 

[Gopher]

LOL. This thread is going to keep getting bumped by the same argument every week until the end of time.

This is my first time posting in this thread in weeks.  

[ChD]

This is my first time posting in this thread in weeks.  

 

I meant that you're the one to start it... I mean, last time... At the beginning of August. The thread was clean until you had to come and post the freaking Honest Trailer because 'I know it was posted, but it deserves to be posted again' cause why the fuck not. I tell you, if you stop posting in this thread, it won't hit 100 pages till New Year. The last time you posted that Honest trailer of yours, around 10 pages got filled.

[baumer]

Is there a rule against this that I'm not aware of, CHD?  It's not like I'm going to the Interstellar thread and discussing my dislike of TDKR in that thread.  And do you need everyone to praise the film?  Why does it bother you if someone or some people don't like it and express it?

Nah man. I have no issue with you expressing it, but for me it's pretty obvious you're doing this shit repeatedly only to start more and more discussions like you did in the past. You know too well that your posts start these god damn arguments that lead on to tenth of pages and you still do it. You did it two or three times, why the fuck go again? You think people didn't understand that you hate the movie? I think the whole forum knows, yet you still post it to start pointless arguments over it. You of all people should know the discussions that start after such a post. 

No, I don't have anything against discussions, but this thread went through the same fucking discussion two times already. It's really unnecessary to revive the same old conflict.

[baumer]

I cant help it if it sucks.

All were better than TDKR.

[The Stingray]

WTF just happened?

[baumer]

How did you do that Squaremaster?  WTF?  Did you work a long time on that?

[Squaremaster316]

A few months.

[baumer]

Seriously.  That's a hell of a list.  That's incredible.  Or did you just google directors in alphabetical order and then eliminate a few?

[Squaremaster316]

I checked their respective resumes and then decided to alphabetize them.

[baumer]

Not sure if serious but if u are thats messed up. Huge task.
