ingamemechanic asked: How do you feel about classics and the relevance they have today. As a reference i am talking To Kill A Mockingbird classic.
I feel that they should be more relevant. I honestly believe that rather than remaking films they should be restored and redistributed in theaters. Movies like To Kill a Mocking Bird should hit theaters ever 10 to 15 years somewhere. In fact I think there could a whole market of theaters that do nothing but show classics.
So many films should be shown on the big screen regularly and never are.
Tonight Was an Example of:
Me showing that if you can’t rationally debate film, don’t know anything about film, or can’t stay on topic, you shouldn’t be talking about film.
I love how people tell other people they don’t have the right to speak about something unless they’ve accomplished the exact same thing. I also love how people measure success. Money isn’t everything!
People can be experts, or knowledgeable on a subject without directly being involved in said subject. But you couldn’t possibly understand that could you?
Good night Tumblr… If you’d like debate film with me today, then please have SOME clue as to what you’re talking about, and please stay on topic without diverting to name calling once you start to lose… it’s childish and foolish.
I really feel like smacking the ugly off this one person who keeps irritating me.
But I don’t think that’s possible.
My hand would tire.
I don’t get why you can’t just say shit to people directly. Instead you make passive agressive comments about them. It shows just how insecure you are.
Why not just adress the points I’ve made instead of commenting on how you think I’m ugly or calling me a cock sucker. You still haven’t tried to defend your opinion. You continue to show your immaturity and lack of rational thinking.
If you think I talk to you like you’re mentally challenged then it’s probably because you’ve yet to have a single thing to say that is logical or on topic.
Oh and just so you know, I continue to post because it annoys you and that makes me happy. You deserve this kind of annoyance. You demand to be treated like respect but all you do is talk shit and not even directly too people. You’re a coward.
OH and by the way, being in the public eye doesn’t give you the right to scrutinize. You’re basically saying that you can talk shit about some one’s appearance because they’re famous… but then earlier you said that people don’t have the right to talk shit about some one’s art unless they themselves are at the same level… that doesn’t seem all that rational to me.
But then again I’m talking to some one who can’t even rationally create a response to a simple post. Well… I’m getting bored with you because you fail at replying in any kind of logical manner. I’m going to suggest taking a break from the interent… you’re so full of fail that it’s getting to be embarrassing to watch.
Okay you really are daft.
I give plenty of respect to those who deserve it.
You don’t know me and you went off on me and assumed I was just this insipid, stupid teenager.
Wrong. So why would I respect you?
Now stop contacting me; I mean really, it’s annoying.
Oh so you gave plenty of respect to people when you told them to kill themselves for disagreeing with your opinion? I’m the daft one? You’re a hypocrite as well now. You say that I put words in your mouth (by paraphrasing) and now you’re saying I called you a teenager? Wow how’d you get that?
Now you’re projecting! I never assumed you were a teenager, or stupid, in fact in my first few sentences I said that you’re right about what most people think about Burton… but then I explained rationally how wrong you are.
What makes this even more enjoyable for me is that you’ve yet to address any of the points I’ve made because you can’t defend against them. You’ve pretty much given up and shown that you can’t argue or defend a point, and instead you call people names.
You’ve yet to even show why you deserve respect. You give plenty of respect to those that deserve it? So why did you say a large group of people who disagree with you should kill themselves? How is that showing respect?
I’m going to keep responding until you adress my points, because you haven’t done that once. You’re showing over and over that you don’t know anything about film, and yet you demand that people know what they’re talking about in order to talk to you about it.
Keep being a hypocrite and missing the point entirely, and I’ll keep showing you up with logic and rational thinking.
BUT, in the singular case of me actually deciding to close my mind.
Stop reblogging me, daftbot. Because you are just that: incredibly daft.
I don’t care what you have to say. You already assumed I can’t be reasoned with, you already spoke to me in a degrading manner, you already presumed that I am an uneducated, unintelligent person, so I’m going to let you continue to think that way. Because I’m not 12, I am 20, and I deserve some respect. Since you did not give it to me, I will not be bothered to read what you have to say.
Thanks.
So it’s ok for you to basically say none of us have the right to express our opinons because we haven’t made millions of dollars… your exact words were
“Until you become a multi-millionaire director, whose movies are some of the most recognizable creations on Earth, you have no place to criticize anyone.”
I think I’ve backed up my points beautifully and instead of addressing what I say you ignore them, make some random point about nothing, and then continue to disrespect large groups of people. You demand to be treated with respect, yet you say “kill yourself” if we disagree with you?
How am I supposed to show you ANY respect when you’re telling us to commit suicide if we disagree with you? You’re an irrational person who contradicts herself on a moment to moment basis. Of course this is Tumblr and you may just be a troll, but still.
I argue on topic and you call me a cocksucker for disagreeing? Wow good job earning my respect! If you want me to really stop reblogging, say something intelligent instead of throwing out names or demanding we fall on our swords for not following the words of your highness.
YOU WANNA KNOW SOMETHING.
I LOVE when people assume I won’t have an open mind about something just because I don’t agree with it.
MY MIND IS MORE OPEN THAN A FUCKING WHOREHOUSE ON A SATURDAY NIGHT.
Get fucking bent, cocksuckers.
Say that shit directly to me instead of just posting it randomly. You couldn’t defend your position on why Tim Burton is a good director, and you couldn’t even understand how I could logically call him a “visionary director” from your point of view when you talk about “HIS VISION”. That’s what visionary means! SOME ONE WITH A VISION! DUH!
It’s clear you can’t handle confrontation directly, you can’t argue a point logically and you get butt hurt when people show how your point of view on some one is flawed. I don’t know you from a hole in a rest stop bathroom in New Jersey, but I can tell you don’t know shit about film…
Until you become a multi-millionaire director, whose movies are some of the most recognizable creations on Earth, you have no place to criticize anyone.
I’m sorry, but BOTH Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland were NOVELS before they were movies. So your arguments on…
First let me say that I think you’re way off base telling us all what we can and can not judge. Until you’ve studied film like many of us critics, you don’t have the right to tell us what we can and can not complain about. We invest our time, money and lives into studying film and how the industry works because it’s our passion. I probably know more about film than you’ll ever know, and I’d bet everything I know I’ve seen more movies than you have… So listen up!
Do you realize Burton doesn’t give a flying fuck about these properties!? Oh and he didn’t write the screenplay for Alice in Wonderland either… it wasn’t his idea. Linda Wolverton wrote it!
As far as people’s problems with Burton, you’re right, most people don’t know what they’re talking about, and they argue the points terribly, but let me tell you why critics (which what I do for a living), dislike about Burton at this point… he won’t work outside of his safe little box and it’s getting stale.
Tim Burton has a very unique style of film making and that’s good for him, people like it, and that’s fine, but it’s getting old fast. Going back to 1985, only three or so of his films are based on original stories, the rest are adapted works, or were already films before.
The man’s creative vision is very limited. He can’t come up with a compelling original story so he keeps making his “twisted” version of stories that don’t need to be made. Frankly I’m sick of seeing him do the same thing over and over. Write something original for once.
What’s best is that you think this is his vision? Really? Then how come he doesn’t have a writing credit on it? oh that’s because HE DIDN’T COME UP WITH THE IDEA! Disney did and they gave him a buttload of cash to just do what he did.
Just because some one is a multi-million dollar film maker doesn’t mean they’re good!
Look at Transformers 2! It made A TON of cash, it was the second highest grossing film of 2009 and it’s complete garbage! The mass majority of people don’t even know that Tim Burton’s most cherished film wasn’t even directed by him. Oh that’s Nightmare Before Christmas by the way… They think that, James and the Giant Peach, 9, and others are all made by him, and he takes the credit (and the money) and fucks over these very talented people.
He keeps hiring his wife and his best friend to make these films and the quality suffers as a result. Look at Sweeney Todd. Rather than hire singers who have lived with the work for the years it’s been out, he hires Depp and Carter who both can’t sing, and then has to change the music to fit the “vision” and the movie suffers as a result.
Whether or not a movie is closer to a book or not doesn’t matter. Film and books aren’t the same medium, and sometimes compromises need to be made, and if you don’t understand that, then don’t talk about film. It’s a wildly different medium and direct translation often hurts a film.
I used to like Tim Burton and then I realized what an ass he is. Look at Batman and Batman Returns… the man didn’t even like comic books, HAS no respect for them or the characters (which explains why those films pale in comparison to the newer ones) and has admitted that he doesn’t read comics. You think he cares about any other stories after that? NO! He’s just taking the easy route, making money and people praise him for it. It’s bullshit.
I would ask you to defend your position a little better, but I doubt you’ll listen to what I have to say. Your mind is already made up and you think Burton is this great “visionary director”…
