V for Vendetta (hijacked version now about searching before starting threads)

[Flasch186]

may already be a thread but whatever...

Wow, they may as well have said that this is the Anti-Bush movie but for a lefty it was excellent. I wonder if a righty would think it bad due to the obvious similarities they are trying to draw.

EDIT: Edited the title for clarity sake but left the main portion the same so you guys can continue your fun with tars and feathers.

bah you can't win for losing on this. you post something and everyone jumps on you for posting something already posted. someone else posts something else you already posted and everyone jumps on you for being a dick about it. at least thats what i get.

[RPI-Fan]

Flasch deserves his own thread on everything.

Thanks for putting it more eloquently than I could.

[Flasch186]

FOFC fun...its like a quiz game some play on here.

Someone posts something that has been posted in the past but isnt on the front page and the person who can post a link to the old thread wins. Silly to me, shallow to me, and avoids talking about the topic, but I will remain unchanged....just like I dont call anyone out on their excitement to say something, I find it shameful that others do. Whatever, eventually if that were the way it is, this would only be a current events and drag race forum, to see who gets their thread up first....like they earn a stripe or something.

[Flasch186]

Thanks for putting it more eloquently than I could.

right, starting a thread on a movie and that I liked it is somehow self serving. Asshat!

god forbid, someone have messages on a god damn message board...Ill have to start doing a search everytime and hope, hope, that someone actually titled their corresponding thread appropriately, and filter out the stupid copycat thread titles....

ridiculous...

Well fuck this thread, god forbif people talk about V for Vendetta again as Im sure the 40 some odd posts in the other thread exhausted the topic like seeing a topic rehashed must certainly exhaust you.

[cthomer5000]

How hard is it to hit "search" type "Vendetta" then click on the one super-obvious hit for that search?

It's especially ridiculous considering you basically admit you know there is another thread already.

[Flasch186]

"may be"

so considering that I didnt "know" youre saying one should search everytime they start a thread and I say NO THEY SHOULDNT

[Anthony]

i think it's kinda obvious which topics likely already have a thread on them already. V has been out for like 2 weeks now, right?, so you don't think that in the last 2-3 weeks *no one* would have started a thread on that movie? for obscure indie movies, yeah, you probably don't have to err on the side of caution, but for major releases that have Natalie Portman in them? might have to take a bet and assume someone's already been there, done that.

that having been said i don't think this movie was quite the lightening rod for discussion and controversy people thought it'd be. i didn't see it, and won't see it until it's on HBO or some other movie channel. i refuse to give the Wachowski Brothers anymore of my money after the 2 Matrix sequels. the 1st Matrix is one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time and they ruined it's legacy with the 2 sequels. they ruined the entire franchise for me to the point where i don't even like to discuss the Matrix anymore. i remember when the 2 sequels came out and i was left scratching my head with my "was that all there was??" face i scoured the internet looking for answers or ideas on the movies, looking to see perhaps if someone figured it all out. alas, it wasn't meant to be.

I only saw the movie tonight and dont memorize threads, so to me it was appropriate...although in hindsight I wish I hadnt of since NOT ONE has talked about the movie so its all a waste and just served to allow a few to take pot shots, be dickheads, or win the race to point out an old thread...so we have a shot taken, a dick head, and a winner. Close the thread and wait for the next one so that one can fall victim to the buzzards too. Makes for fun on FOFC, I tell ya.

[cthomer5000]

I only saw the movie tonight and dont memorize threads,

Me neither, but there is a fucking search function right on the front page.

[Flasch186]

so we go circular. youre saying you should do a search before you start any thread and I disagree vehemently for the reasons already stated, so go back to your high horse, please.

im over it....you must enjoy this much more than I do.

Actually, I haven't heard you really give a reason for not searching besides that you're too cool for it.

[Flasch186]

I wish we wouldve talked about the movie, coolness when I visit a text sim msg board everyday is not something I claimed to be, but believe what you want...I wont search, and dont think anyone (so everyone is too cool?) should have to, before starting threads or else this will become a current events board and nothing started before will be able to be talked about. That is stupid, lest there be only one thread allowed about tatoos, cuz I count a bunch in existence.

Bolded for emphasis..

If people do not search for obvious things, like you haven't here, this board will become a board of repeat topics where discussions are disjointed because they're in 3 or 4 threads.

[Flasch186]

ok, so there is a median, I certainly dont think that a topic that was off the front of the page and not talked in for over 2 weeks is off the charts. sorry, I see your point but killing this thread was an over-reaction and I DEFINITELY think it fell into the "Race to point out repeat threads" game.

I think sometimes you have a point (there are some subjects that need fresh threads after a while), but not on this one. I know when I've seen a discussion like this on a movie or a book, it is hard to follow if you have two threads. You end up stunting the conversation instead of continuing it.

Oh, and thanks for the title change, because I would have never looked in this thread without it. :D

[Flasch186]

..in hinsight I wish I wouldve found the old thread because this certainly wasnt my intent, but I guess my variance or accepted distance between old and new is less than 2 weeks, especially considering that it hasnt been seen in over 2 weeks, hence the "May be" of it being out there. again, I wish I wouldve now, but 2 weeks is not over tolerance IMO.

[Noop]

People on this board are just dicks and assholes. All together a bunch of .... you know what.

[ice4277]

As for the movie, I really think the political aspects of it are overblown. Sure, you can draw comparisons to today, I guess, but you could try to do that with every movie.

[Noop]

Actually the only thing about the movie I felt was in relation to us was when V said fear made them trade way their freedoms. This is happening in our country with the Patriot Act. The government is using terror to make Joe and Jane American be afraid and not say a word to their phones being tapped or their emails being read. Funny thing is our news media is basically the governments mouth piece. Oh well...

For future reference, does not appear that Gallagher or Kajagoogoo have their own threads. Captain Kangaroo, Carrot Top and Howie Mandel do though.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I wanted to start a Kajagoogoo thread, but I was too...

Oh, never mind.

In case anyone wants the video link for their Kajagoogoo fix. (well, at least per Wikipedia it is the video at youtube. I don't want this crap to pop up at work)

I loved the movie. It was more anti-GMA(the Philippine President)... heh. "People should not be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of their people."

Here's an idea. With all of the duplicate threads cluttering up the board, how about one of the 57 million new mods around here get the job of merging the duplicates?

Andin regards to Joe's question, I personally am more in favor of locking dupe threads than merging them. But that's just me.


And this thread is too much fun now to lock.

what does a merged thread end up looking like? do these posts end up in the middle, at the end?

[MrBug708]

Back to the original topic, I kind of noticed somewhat in reference to Bush, but scary movie and American Dreamz seems to be more related to Bush then V for Vendetta was relate to the "right"

thats pretty funny however the best distinction or discussion is Grantdawg's...what is the time allowed to wherein a new thread is ok to start on an old topic? 2 weeks off the front page? a month? what do you think?

[JeeberD]

If I know something has already been posted then almost always just bump the thread. And I usually run a simple search if I'm not sure if it's been posted but there's a good chance that it has (like for a movie that's been out for a month)...

[GrantDawg]

I would say more than a month. Honestly, if there is a thread on the exact same subject that is not in the archive, then just bump it.

[Flasch186]

does everything go in the archive or just good threads?

[st.cronin]

I would say more than a month. Honestly, if there is a thread on the exact same subject that is not in the archive, then just bump it.

yes, that's why we have an archive

More importantly, when somebody points out that there is already a thread on the topic, say "thanks!" and go post in that thread. Otherwise you're just being an oversensitive drama queen.

[Flasch186]

i dont think it was a simple, "theres already a thread on that" so someone else's panties were twisted to start this...perhaps if it was as if you said then this wouldve been a lot shorter and perhaps this wouldnt have been an argument...HOWEVER I do think that there should a be a general limit on what is considered current, maybe not 2 weeks, or as some have suggested a month, but NO ONE should have to go get stuff out of archive to talk about it.:

Would this really have required THAT much effort? :rolleyes:

You're right, those definitely require that your hackles be raised.

You brought this one on yourself. You tried to make yourself "special" and people jumped you for it. I just happened to join in on the fun.

If you haven't noticed, I've been leaving you alone even when I want to go crashing in your other threads. Although I can't stand you as a person, I decided that you are not worth the trouble of calling you on everything that is bullshit about you.

[Flasch186]

hmm, well Ill just say you dont know me, like I did via PM. If you think BS about me then you must think exactly the same about me in real life....although you dont like me on here, but dont think its congruent with me in real life, so perhaps you do like me in RL since theyre not the same to you. I dunno, Im lost...I dont understand the problem since Im honest about myself to you and everyone on here. I remember this thread...perhaps it should be merged with the other one you attacked me on. I think it goes back to my thoughts about Rumsfeld being complicit in Abu Guraib and Gitmo...thats where it started right? You went nuts that it wasn't and I said that it was, so perhaps your dislike for me that you paint with a "BS" brush is actually alteriorly motivated. Lets see if I can find that thread.

This has NOTHING to do with politics. I may disagree with them 99% of time, they don't have nothing to do with the way I view your personality.

[Flasch186]

well, IMO, it seems going back a long time ago, in mulitple threads, politics vs. morality vs. coporations is where you started in on me, based on politics and now, all of a sudden, its my personality that gets you EVENTHOUGH you think my personality is a farce..so you hate my fake representation...How can one on the internet prove who they are or their brain outside of being consistent, which I certainly have been?

Edit to add: post pictures of their family, talk about their work, talk about their likes and dislikes, debate politics, tell stories...basically what many people have done on here but somehow, mine is a creation that Duckman hates eventhough he hasnt been to my home, met my family, etc. which he probably hasnt the other people either, like FM, BMVP, Sov, etc.? that seems convenient that mine gets the bullseye.

Are you done editing this?

*waiting*

Just want to be sure.

*waiting*

Done? Good.

I like how you want to take the focus off yourself with the "you don't call other people out" bullshit. This is not about them! It's about you! :rolleyes:

Personally, no one on this board irritates me more than you. Almost every thread you start is "Look at me! Look at me! I'm so much better than you! I have more morals than you!" followed with "Look at me! I'm so consistent! People should take my lead because I'm so great! I do no wrong!" You have no humility and that irritates me. Most people can't stand an attention whore and that is what you are. It takes a rare breed of human being to stand to be around one.

Don't like the fact that I call you out on your bullshit? Tough! Grow a set. Quit being a bitch about it. Not everyone is going to like you. As a matter of fact, I'm not the only one that doesn't like you and your "holier-than-thou" attitude. Are you going to invite them to Florida too? Maybe we can have a little party together and sing songs around the fire? :rolleyes:

Whether you like it or not, I see right through you. I don't want to be friends with a "pompous ass" (borrowed from one my PM's talking about you). People like you disgust me. You are no role model. As I said before, I wouldn't let you anywhere near my son. Your "lessons" I don't want him to learn.

Im ok with it, now...I was ticked at first or rashed at first but I got some support and am good now. Even if you hate me (which hate is a really strong word for a text sim message board...saved for the likes of Victor Zambrano and Park) I dont hate you, if that means anything.

[Coop]

They should have released this movie during the summer. With the lack of any good movies it could have done a lot more $ at the box office.
