Can't wait to avoid this stunning trash
My subject says it all.
shareI would feel embarassed - your post was absolutely ignorant and stupid. If you don't care to watch a film...or a television show...wouldn't that kind of dictate that you wouldn't take the time to post in the forum?
shareFirst off, yes, the OP's post is not only lazy but stupid as well. I don't disagree with him but there's more to be said than that.
As for you, LeOmbre, there's a difference between spending 2 hours watching a film that tries to preach something you don't care to hear and taking 40 seconds to express that feeling on an internet forum.
Neither of you is especially smart. Congratulations.
As for my opinion, shouldn't Hollywood stop trying to act like they know everything. The cast list for this movie reminds me of the scene in Team America where all the celebrities are talking about how it's their duty to read the newspapers and then repeat what they've read as if it were their own opinion.
Obviously that's not exactly what this is but that's what comes to mind. Personally, I couldn't care less about what actors have to say unless they're reading their lines. They're just regular people. What makes their opinions so valued?
Anyways, I must be off. I realize it's been awhile between your post and mine but I hope you'll respond soon. Bye.
Why should anyone care what your opinion is? What makes your opinion more valuable than theirs?
shareMy opinion isn't any more valuable than their opinions, you're missing the point. Last time I checked, an internet forum was somewhere where people could come and voice their opinions and discuss a subject of shared interest. The fact that me sharing my opinion comes as a shock to you proves that you're unfamiliar with this concept.
Now as for my disregarding of the OP's post and the post immediately following, as I stated before, I believe that neither of those posts contributed at all to this discussion, or at least not well, excluding of course the obvious contribution of starting the thread.
So basically, my post is entirely within the confines of what is expected on an internet forum while your post, being also within the confines of what is expected on an internet forum as it is your opinion, does not contribute at all to this discussion, namely whether or not this particular documentary will be worth viewing.
I stated my opinion on the subject, you stated your opinion on me. Apparently we both have too much time on our hands, but at least my post is relevant to this thread.
Good night.
Yes, but you're attacking them for having an opinion. Aren't you being a hypocrite now? Why should you be allowed to have an opinion, and they shouldn't?
shareBecause I type in paragraphs and use big words, that's why.
Thanks for coming out.
But I do actually think that those two are a bit off. The OP's argument isn't really an argument, and while yes it is his opinion, it doesn't really consist of any depth or anything even worth commenting on. Or so is my opinion. And the fellow after him was pretty much just pointing this out but happened to draw the rather flawed conclusion that if you don't like a movie you shouldn't bother wasting your time posting on its message board. For the most part I agree, but since, as I've previously stated, it takes 40 seconds to post something and 2 hours to watch a movie, there's a bit too much of a difference to legitimately compare the two and use that as an argument. Or so is my opinion.
Either way, I've spent far too much of my life on this thread already so I shall bid ye farewell. It's been a pleasure.
Jesse Bross is talking of his or hers ***. It's just another troll poster that wants to be notice by having an "opinion" on something they dislike. It's easy to simply not comment on something you object to, but, oh, wait! No one would notice me and how intellectual I am if I voice my negative opinion! Jesse, you didn't come off smart, you came off as annoying. I came on here to get info on what "The People Speaks" is about and found a person with too much time on their hands that probably doesn't have a life (like me! :-)
Anytime someone tries to do something positive, a troll that's in need of attention (like Jesse) shows up and gives a negative two cents about something that's not even released yet. Don't just grow up, Jesse, Grow out of it and say something positive for once. (oh and I am generalizing you as an example of the whole IMBD trollers, I mean community.) you're probably going to come back with some "clever" pun or F U, because, well, you're predictable. so...
(insert criticism here)
"Let it never be said that your anal retentive attention to detail never yielded positive results!"
Actually I had a good laugh at what you posted. It's been so long since I posted that stuff I had totally forgotten about it.
For the record though, I was trying to be a prick and annoy people. For fun, not to be noticed. And the goal was never to sound smart, it was precisely to sound annoying, under the veil of trying to sound smart. And while I don't necessarily disagree with anything I wrote before, the tone of my argument was clearly always intended as an act of epic trolling.
And I definitely do have too much time on my hands. I'm looking into a hobby :)
The difference is that like it or not-I don't-actors have the ear of the people. They're not attempting to subvert this and make it their own. They're REreading words of the people for a new generation to get the message. Most kids today will never have heard the words of Sojourner Truth without this film. That's the real tragedy. Hell, most kids today think Pacman's boring. If it isn't an iPod or a Gucci bag they don't want to care.
Are celebrities and actors just people with a higher paying job? Yes. But that doesn't stop others from looking up to them or listening when they speak. I think the movie will be great, and I'm glad that these people know that they can influence people and are using it for something positive. Old messages in new and shiny wrappings.
The short one's gawking at me and the tall one's being very droll.
Just so you know, what they're reading isn't their own opinion. It's words that were written at historically significant points in our past. Without a movie like this, a lot of these points of view would not be heard by a large part of our society. Whether you agree with the those points of view is another issue, but the actors themselves are not doing anything but reading their lines. Just like you want them to do.
