Your metaphor actually helped me understand your position a lot better. And your acceptance that we hold different values and may not be able to ever agree is very refreshing.

Insisting that two situations are the same regardless of context is not really much of an argument. Being stubborn might be your way to show you have rigid moral standards, but there’s a point it crosses the line into idiocy.

By that logic, demolishing a building filled with people should be ok because demolishing an empty building is also okay.

You’re welcome! Glad some people enjoyed it and it didn’t entirely fall on deaf ears.

I love that bit.

Then what was your original argument? Because I remember plenty of people complaining about Idris Elba’s part in Thor. I thought you meant that if its okay in one case, it’s okay in another.

This is the best explanation I’ve seen for why some racebending is okay and some isn’t.

A lot of this is just concept art for TFA. I mainly recognize the cantina scenes (hard to forget that mermaid alien) and the ship bay.

You didn’t miss too much. Here’s my summary with links.

Glad to have helped!

At first, the only ARG elements were from Swamp Pop. It’s a real life soda featured in the trailer, and which has a special order in their store called the Long Term Shelter Supply. Eventually people started finding puzzle pieces in their Swamp Pop orders that corresponded to a puzzle seen in the trailer. This sorta…

Forgot to link the script. Here it is.

You can read it too, right here. Like I said, it’s a solid script.

Agreed!

This is murky territory because it wasn’t talked about too much in the ARG (and not at all in the movie) but the monsters in Cloverfield are almost certainly from Earth. According to the backstory filled out by the ARG, the monster comes from the deep sea, and the thing you see falling out of the sky in the final…

God, me too.

The preliminary script (from before it was bought to turn it into a Cloverfield movie, and which they do not seem to have deviated too far from judging from the trailers) is available to read online and it’s a solid script.

I’m almost 100% sure it’s in the same universe (John Goodman’s character is an employee of the month for the shady corporation involved in the first movie, Tagruato). I am not so certain that it can be called a sequel, though.

Well, based on the preliminary script, the director’s skill, and the actors involved, I’m sure it’s going to be an A+ movie in its own right.

I’m so fucking excited for this movie, and the ARG is consuming my mind.
