Leave the junk like "totally fucking ILLOGICAL" out of your posts if you want to have a discussion with me. If you feel that any of my arguments are illogical, fine, say so. But do it civilly, okay? I find it a drag to have things get like this.

Wow, brilliant. You have actually convinced me to appreciate the squid-bit God, it is so obvious now that you've laid it out that way - Silver Age camp, the ultimate Supervillain move. Bravo.
Come on, telling someone that they are harping and they are going on paragraph after paragraph is at least a little bit of a jab, isn't it? Be honest now, it is a little bit of a jab. And my remark about 'neutering language' was a jab, too - although if you read the entire post, you would have seen that I wasn't going…
The Dutch, are they adorable or what?
One mans harping is another mans stating, I suppose.
It is a pleasure to hear ones words quoted back to ones self; one thanks you.
Jeez, sleeper, can't we all just be friends and just enjoy the company of our fellow fans? We all seem to like Watchmen (the comic, anyway. The movie is at best a mixed bag). Some of you guys act like having an issue with ONE facet of Moore's story is tantamount to disparaging the whole book. I happen to love Watchmen…
"under no circumstances would the attack be mistaken for a first strike…"
Good points, all. Let try to explain my view, but first I want to be clear; I LOVE THE WATCHMEN COMIC! It is is one of the two or three greatest comics of all time, and Moore is a giant of the medium. I'm not bashing him or the book, okay?
I wasn't trying to make you look like a fool…I really detest that kind of one upmanship, so I'm sorry if I came off that way. But I admit I was trying to win the debate. I mean who doesn't want to win? Now, on to the whole 'fact' controversy.
Johnny, please think about reading twice before you hit "send". You said (quote) "I'm not going to have a serious debate with someone who states that his opinion is "simply" fact."
What's your point? I'm mean, you quote me, and tag it with "Christ.". Your dissatisfaction comes across fine, but you're not backing it up with anything. I made my points, and backed them up with well worded logical arguments. You, on the other hand, resort to attitude. Saying "Christ" and "What???" (nice use of…
I'm with you, Lemon. I know that I took a little shot at you earlier over that whole "just my opinion" thing, but I'd like to formally extend an olive branch to you. (As opposed to a lemon branch I suppose, but I digress.) Mr Dooshbaghe is pilling on, and your comment did not deserve such vitriol, how ever half…
You are clearly an admirer of the Watchmen comic (so am I) and you make several good points - it's a pleasure to get your take. However, I have to debate a few of your ideas.
First, Ozzy is NOT "The Hero". He did unspeakable things, and killed millions of innocent people. His goal may have been noble, but the means he used to achieve it were horrible. In the end, even he wasn't sure he acted correctly - go back and read the comic ("I did the right thing…didn't I Jon? Jon?")
Why muscular? Hiddleston has a lean and athletic physique…which fits the comic book version of Ozzymandias perfectly. The characters from Watchmen weren't the typical "hero-fantasy" types, they were more realistic. If there was ever a "real" Batman, he would be built more like Christian Bale, not the uber-bodybuilder…
Come on, do we really have to neuter our language in order to avoid offending everyone? "it's just my opinion, mind you…" You are absolutely entitled to your opinion…but it is simply a fact that the whole "squid-monster" thing was a clunky bit of storytelling, maybe the single flaw in Alan Moore's masterpiece. Let's…
This list is ridiculous. If you like punk,cool, but like it for what it IS; raw, stripped down, unadorned music. If you want frenetic bombast, punk is just the thing, but if you want GUITAR SOLOS, only classic rock will do. Jesus, classic rock INVENTED guitar solos, punk KILLED them!
The single greatest guitar solo of…
I know this sounds great - and it is, kudos to the Make a Wish Foundation, you guys rock - but this one misses the target. There's no way that this little boy wants to be "Batkid", he wants to be BATMAN!
Kids are sharp, I'd bet anything this boy knows that there is no Batkid- and even if there were, nobody wants to be…
