the Most hilarious fanboy message board debate of all time

"revisionist history"

Someone even said 'Good Day To You Sir'!

this is great. thanks!

PREDTARE WAAS NOT MADE TYET URA LL GAYEEHRFHB!11!!!!1!!11!!!!1

He showed some restraint. He was being obtuse as all get out though.

This is like the Star Wars debate over Midichlorians. Revisionist!

What a bunch of geex!

It is accomplished! Go forth to I Love Comics, my son.

awwwww, how cute! Like little baby ILXors.

It'll make your eyes bleed.

IT WAS NOT A PREDATOR SHIP IN 1979 AND IT IS STILL NOT A PREDATOR SHIP TODAY.

Next thing you know, they'll be saying that Bob Duvall didn't deserve that Oscar for Tender Mercies.

This argument would never have happened on a comic book board because comic books (much like soap operas) are defined by retroactive continuity.

"Mouth-breathing"???

If you ever heard one of these guys call in to a talk radio show, you'd understand.

("actual" used to deflect GWB jokes)

"we have Hubble and probes and stuff, but I can't help but to feel that we are going nowhere fast. SO THAT MEANS THAT THOSE POOR ALIENS WILL BE STUCK ON THAT DREARY PLANET FOREVER!!!"

My brother suggests that the Teletubbies did exist before 1979, but he says at that point they weren't creepily gay yet.

Don't they actually show an ancient corpse of the non-Alien aliens that sent out the distress signal in the first place? Or did I imagine that? I sort of recall that they were, like, giants or something?

Please do, that would be awesome!

don't know who here did that but it's fuckin funny. We should all get IGN accounts and go stir up massive fanboy fatwas and jihads and shit.

And man, I really want to rent Predator now.

It is not the time the movie was released it my man it is the storline time line like back to the future it was way past 1985 by the time they finished all the movies but yet the always returned back to the year 1985.

Please my man this is science fiction not real life you do the math!

Please my man this is science fiction not real life you do the math!

If I didn't know better, etc., etc.

Memphis, on the other hand. Devils and crooks be livin' there.

Roxy, nope. I've never lived in Knoxville, and most of the folks I know from there lived there in the early 90s. I have a few friends who lived there in the mid-to-late 90s. At one point I was fairly familiar with the music scene there, and I have visited many times.

When I was in high school, I ventured to Knoxville several times to see the Judybats and Smokin Dave and the Premo Dopes when they were still around.

You remember Jesus Chrysler? They were from Knoxville, no?

Of course, that's what they _want_ you to think.

Just found some more of LeBrainBoy's charming "you're all a bunch of fucking idiots" schtick, this time on a Star Wars thread:

Okay, now, say, "Ook! Ook! Eek! Eek!"

I'm actually starting to like this guy. His profile states that he has made 10,761 posts since 2000, so there's a lot more where this came from. Every time I find a thread where he goes off like this, I'll post a link here.

Meanwhile, the debate continues...

"Like it or not, the PT is coming down the pike twenty-plus years after the OT. The characters of the droids have already been firmly established in the minds of the audience.

See if you can follow along, Captain Carnage.

The rocket packs do not fall into the same category as, say, R2 popping a lightsaber out of the top of his head. You see, the situation on the sail barge had never occurred before in the series, so no one had any idea what to expect.

On the other hand, there had been dozens of opportunities for R2 to use his magical, mystical rocket packs before ROTJ, but he didn't...so, Lucas firmly established the non-existence of the rocket packs in the minds of the audience.

Now, twenty-plus years later, here comes the PT and voila! out of nowhere appears R2's deus ex machina, the rocket packs.

Lucas broke, bent and twisted the rules he established regarding how R2 functions. And you, the ultimate Lucas apologist, want the rest of to believe that a few lines of text that existed once on a Website somewhere is justification enough for us to forgive this egregious error in storytelling logic?

No. And we're the geeks! The normal, average Joe isn't going to waste his time giving Lucas as much credit as we do for all his other accomplishments.

All Joe sees is Lucas's failings, and Lucas failed as a storyteller because he got lazy and sloppy with how he chose to handle the integrity of his characters.

Which doesn't even begin to cover all Lucas other failings as a storyteller with regard to the PT."

Skynet's first thought on becoming self-aware was to ask itself - "was that a predator ship, or what?"
And they modeled the T-101's after Dutch Schaeffer, who killed one of their predators which created an tangent universe wherein a high school boy was granted superpowers to realign time threads which if left unchecked would mean the end of the world aka skynet becoming self aware and the 6 foot tall bunny is really a crypto-terminator cuz he killed jena malone with his car to set in motion the possibility of skynet becoming self aware if Donnie Darko doesn't telepathically rip off a jet engine from his mother's airplane and realign time and anything else is revisionist history.

I wouldn't deign to lower myself. You and your ilk are quite beneath me, you see. I don't mix with dregs.
However, it will be mildly amusing to find out just exactly how far you're willing to take your japery on a real board with real mods who just might really ban your childish butt if you act enough like a jackass.
So, by all means, go right ahead and throw caution to the wind. Caper away, little monkey, and let's all see what happens.

LesBrian Boy, u shod know taht alien one was coneived with open ended posiisbilities in kind for the predators and cyberdyne droid s to take over int heir universes.
according to obannon in alien interview he wasinspoired by everything, including movies from teh fuyture, which brings u back to donnie darko an t2 which have time travel, don't you know?
of course you are way too ignornt to tell what halk movies are about, right? u see m to think your so smart then why haven't you reitten liens movie or predator?

"I wouldn't deign to lower myself. You and your ilk are quite beneath me, you see. I don't mix with dregs."

So Mr. 11,000 posts on a freaking IGN board has better things to do, boo hoo. And threatening me with an IGN banning really has me quaking in my boots. Here we were just trolling by to admire your trollmanship, and FWIW we ILXors eat trolls like you for breakfast. We've got a guy on our board that makes your superiority complex look positively charming. Also the fact that you're too dumb to see that in the grand scheme of things we were actually AGREEING WITH YOU by posting increasingly outlandish AvP origin theories is priceless.
Hugs and kisses, sunshine!

Getting the new DVDs

p.p.s. calum is funnier than you.

p.p.s. that kind of "funny" i'm relieved not to be

Is that like when Halo 2 comes out, like Mortal Monday or whatever?

The most eerie thing about Ray Parker Jr's 1985 hit 'Ghostbusters' is that the song was written five years earlier and completely independently of the hit movie with which it eventually became associated.
In 1980, Ray had decided to invent some street slang, a sample of which follows:
• 'Ghost' = 'Angel Dust'
• 'Buster' = 'Supplier'
• 'Strange' = 'Normal'
• 'Neighbourhood' = 'Brain'
For those au fait with Ray's lingo, the lyric 'If there's something strange in your neighbourhood, who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters' attained a chilling edginess not matched until Whitney Houston released her acclaimed ode to masturbation ('The Greatest Love of All').
Sadly, Ray's proposed slang never took off as hoped and his cutting-edge single was generally considered indecipherable nonsense until the release of 'Ghostbusters', the movie. And, you know, even after that, really.
(An interesting footnote: Ray Parker, Jr is the son of Ray Parker, Sr)

It looks like the IGN board is the place where we can all let our creative sides run free!

total fuckin ROFFLE

oh and no good job Nick at first I thought you just chose a random point in BBTF but I've got my DVD freezed at 1:27:14 right now....and boy, you get an A for effort! There are even a couple of dark haired Gyllenhaal lokkin guys in the audience!

NICK PREPARE TO FREAK YOU NAILED THE TIME CODE THERE

*whistles idly*

one quick geek confession about Video Gamers------>Role Playing Gamers. I tried to play D&D a couple times like 5 years ago and the dudes spent an inordinate amount of time talking about what geeks video gamers were so that goes both ways. IN REALITY video games are less geeky than pen & paper RPGs but whatever.

That is really weird. I totally just pulled that time code out of my ass.

Well, at least I don't read superhero comics, so I'm one level ahead of you spandex-lovers! Nyah nyah nyah!

beautiful Jaymc, I was just about to post a similar rebuttal (HE WAS LIKE 5, etc.)

I didn't say I wanted to take him on over there! I said it here! LEBRAINBOY HAS READ THIS THREAD AND MIGHT EVEN BE READING THID RIGHT NOW! hahahahaha

He seems fixated on me so far, maybe he'll be my internet boyfriend, ROFFLE!

It's originally in Eightball (#11 I think), so you're probably right about it appearing that collection. (Special note to lessen geekdom: I swear the only reason I remember the issue number is because a friend got me into Eightball specifically for that story by giving me a copy of #11. It was the first issue I'd ever read.)

We're on page 4 now, btw

What do you mean, leee?

btw his last "kane quote" post was a bit milquetoast compared to before was it not?
I mean he might be catching on that we're waaaay crazier than he's prepared to deal with.

what u guys and gals need to do is take a look of teh the larger picture!! as i said all this is just a reflection of teh ancient struggle between the forces of nature (da smurfz / da alienz) and the forces of civilization & teknology (da terminaterz / da predaterz)! donny darko is clearly a smurf agent (without knowing it himslef) he even talks about da smurfz in one crucial scene of teh film. donny, like da smurfz and luther arkwright, has the ability to move freely between timelines... but in the end donnie, unlike luther arkwright, manages to save his timeline but not himself!! ultimately, he succumbs under the forcez of technology symbolized by the falling jet engine.

doc brown and marty mcfly go through a very different process than donny. they start out as agents of teknology - unlike donny or luther, but like da terminaterz or the disruptors (against whom luther fights) they need technological means (a time machine) to move within and between timelines. but they come to realize that if they affect the time continuum in any substantial way, they will cause huge disruptions in several different timelines. so they are keen to avoid causing a similar paradox that lead to birth of Cyberdyne is the terminater flicks, that is, leaving pieces of future technology in the past! so in the end they act against cyberdyne, though in the beginning of the "back to the future" trilogy they were on the side of technology; remember marty playing his electric guitar through those huge amps and being blasted away - a clear symbol of the power technology has over him. so whereas Donny is a sort of a christ figure - always an outsider, and in the end a martyr - marty and the Doc are antiheroes who realize their errors and cast aside their past, and in the end emerge as triumphant, heroic characters.

but how do Ray Parker Jr and Tyrone Brunson fit in the picture? the story of Ray Parker's "Ghostbusters" is a clear example of the forces of technology trying to dominate the natural spirit. As mentioned by Homosexual 2, Parker was originally singing about using drugs to liberate your brain from the shackles of normalcy. Such a liberation - with or without using drugs - has always meant letting your natural spirits run free and casting away the clothe of civilization. This is evident throughout the history; from the Dionysic orgies of ancient Greece and the self-flagellating monks of the Middle Age, to the LSD hippies of the sixties and the Ecstasy ravers of the nineties. So it is indeed a Smurf force that's behind all these attempts of liberation. But by changing the connotations, and therefore the meaning, of the Parker song, the producers of the "Ghostbusters" movie act as agents of technology/civilization. Now "a ghostbuster", instead of a drug dealer/liberator, turns out to be someone who catches ghosts with the aid of technology; a thorough inversion of the song's original meaning. Could there be a more potent symbol of civilization's dominance over the spiritual world, than someone catching a ghost - an immaterial being, a free spirit - inside a mere mechanical trap device? I think not.

But the Smurfs aren't powerless against all these processes. Enter Tyrone Brunson's "The Smurf"! An electro track, it is by definition created through technology, but paradoxically it actually works against the forces of technology and civilization. "The Smurf" is a dance track, and it's also a part of the early history of electronic dance music, which eventually lead to the rave culture mentioned above. So "The Smurf", like other similar tracks, uses technology to induce a dance-trance state in clubbers and ravers, and therefore it ultimately liberates the human spirit from the limitations of civilization. By manipulating inventors and artists like Samuel Morse and Tyrone Brunson, the Smurfs abuse technology towards their own means, and thus fight against Cyberdyne by using it's own weapons!

(I'm sorry about my language, it seems to get better and better the longer I write.)

Exercising the creative part of your brain is rarely a bad thing... And it's certainly not bad in this context.

I love the way our posts have become increasingly coherent over there.

You are such losers. Does anyone in your board have something better to so with your time then invade and mess up pour discussions?

Tuomas' last post redeemed the whole enterprise. Bravo!!!

I'M NOT APREDATOR, Y'ALL CAN FUCK OFF NOW.

apologies to Aaron for stealing this.

Re: biggest plot hole i can think of.

As long as you're going to limit yourself to what is in the movies and not look below the surface of them, you never will.

Ignorance is not justification. Most people think that in the mid-19th Century that the United States had a civil war, when it hadn't.
History is fact, Aliens are fiction. There is a huge difference. People know that if they want more information about a period or historical event they know information is available. In terms of a film most people watch it and consider it the end of the matter. To expect people to go and research the backstory from a film to discover that people in the film are making what you consider incorrect statements, especially as there is nothing in the film to suggest they are incorrect, is just plain ridiculous.

!!!

I was bored and watching Star Wars episode 3 when it hit me, Pred goes to Kashyyyk to hunt some Wookiee with the very basic weapons like from Predator 1. Do you think he would succeed or have a gang of the dreaded fuzz balls tear him limb from limb and feast on his dishonored corpse? Personally I think the pred would have one hell of a challenge taking on a whole pack of wooks but whats other peoples opinion?

I got a working l/p there! Anyway, most of it is nested, but there's some discussion about the backstory of the crashed ship in the first Alien and if the Predator Director's Cut commentary is canon!

It's not particularly the jet bit that I like, it's the alien bit. From the sound of it, Megatron is keeping his Cybertronian alt mode which I think really suits his character; he's not going to lower himself to a human based alt mode, he is Cybertronian, he is 'pure'. I'd like to see him get really damaged at the end of this film and is forced to take an Earth based alt mode; he's become the one thing he hates the most and I really think that's an interesting idea, pushing him over the edge and adding to his maddness.

Bumblebee is named Bumblebee because he was a "beetlebug", if he's not a Beetlebug anymore, why name him Bumblebee ? Where's the connection between a bee and a Camaro ?
And as a kid, "personality" in a cartoon-character was strongly linked up to the apperance of the character, therefore Bumblees character was a bulgy, yellow WV.
It seems one of the things Hollywood often forgets when making movies based on cartoons, is that it's that the visuals is a major factor in making fans.
But they always try to change the visual apperance when they make a movie out of cartoon, and they usually fail miserably.

MEGATRON IS A GUN FFS. *cough*

I knew that you were going to say that it had come from Ridley Scott, but you've seem to overlook something. Everytime that he had made a reference to the Jockeys, he would pepper his phrases with "I think..." and "I would like to believe that...", as if he was trying to convince himself.

Being someone who reads court documents and prepares witnesses for testimony, if I had heard any of those phrases come from someone's mouth, I wouldn't let them take the stand.

I never saw that.

Btw, why wasn't this thread nominated in the Best ILX Thread poll?

"What you need to wrap your minds around is that anyone who even insinuates that the derelict spacecraft could be anything other than exactly what it was originally intended to be -- a derelict spacecraft -- is...well, I think you both know by now exactly what a person who entertains that notion is: I'll give you a clue; quick! say "Ook! Ook! Eek! Eek!" Good boy. Now, have a banana."

It's a pity we never managed to lure Le Brainboy to ILX, he would've made some wonderful contributions here.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Rod Blagojevich to thread.

Now that Ridley Scott is making an Alien prequel, he should retcon things so that it was an Predator ship. Just to piss off Le Brainboy.

a little embarrassing how so much of his work of late has just been ransacking various franchises and properties and giving them facelifts. i suppose that's how he gets to make movies with big budgets, and he seems to like big budgets.

The Matchstick Men was pretty good, I thought it managed to find an interesting angle to the sort of con man movie that's been done over and over again since The House of Games. But other than that, has he done good film

But other than that, has he done any good films ever since Thelma & Louise?

TBH though, I've always thought Scott is kinda like David Fincher: they're both visually and technically very gifted, but the quality of their movies pretty much depends on the quality of scripts they're given.
