Classic right there.

Maybe Dark Helmet had something to do with the WB website: "Get the Blu-Ray disc before it was filmed"

good shout out.

Okay, this is completely off topic but it has to be said again and again until people get the concept.

People on this thread and this forum need to stop bickering against each other, and one of the ways to do that is to STOP using GAY as a perjorative adjective.

Those movies look gay to me.

This post CREATED a bunch of posts countering such notion that a) only gay people would watch Harry Potter movies or b) that HP movies are subvertly gay.

If BTBuck1 wrote:

Those movies look straight to me.

would that sentence make any sense? Would it make more sense when you change "straight" to "heterosexual"? It doesn't.

I believe most people who use "gay" in those context meant "lame" or "bad".

Those movies look lame to me.

I cannot decipher what BTBuck1 really meant in his post, however.

If the movie is bad or lame, use "bad" and "lame" to describe the movie. Don't use "gay." If the movie is bad or lame AND the movie has gay content subvertly or overtly, say it clearly: "That gay movie is bad" or "That gay movie is lame."

Regardless of how hip the English colloquilism is and your using it to be hip, recognize that using "gay" to mean "bad" or "lame" to describe something is subtle homophobia on your part.

The mods will tell you that you shouldn't discuss politics, racial issues or religion here if you want to be condenscending or hateful. Sexual orientation should be added to that list.

Or at least actually see the movie in question, rather than try to push easy buttons about what the movie "sorta looked like in the trailer"...

(True comedy is 2% timing, 3% sweat and 95% good ol' fashioned RESEARCH...
There is no easy shortcut.)

Damnit, why is Interview With The Vampire nowhere in site?!

[Razzy]

Excellent first post rdodolak. Good job.

[Copywriter]

This list would be awesome.

Goonies? Are you kidding me? BUY BUY BUY

And V for Vendetta would make my day.

I'm praying for The Aviator. I've seen it 40-50 times at least. What a great movie.

I love The Aviator too. It has an amazing feel to it, a great blend of humour and heartbreaking pathos.

I don't know...I don't think it should have been made that big a deal of...

I think some people need to loosen their panties...you shouldn't have had to break it down like that...but the masses had to make a big deal of it...

when something like that is said in RL, people laugh...they don't get all pissy....it's not like a FUD comment..

growing a bck bone is saying my name is, I live at , and then saying rude and uncool stuff. Say stuff on a forum where no one really knows you isn't growing a back bone.

[u_nick]

I meant it more along the lines of be stronger, and let things like this roll off your back. its not worth the frustration and energy. i was only trying ot help.
