Dragonlance (As a campaign setting, not so great. The novels, especially The War of the Souls trilogy and the Dark Disciple trilogy, are very good and could definitely stand on their own.)
Fantasy is the shitpile of literature, a reliance on flashy action and crazy magic to distract you from the lack of quality, with races standing in for characterisation and killing the baddy standing in for character development. It's pretty much authors who read the gothic novels and completely missed the point- taking the fantastic and supernatural elements without the greater elements of artisitic and societal criticism.
Quote:
The original Yu-Gi-Oh! (I have all of the available DVD's except for Capsule Monsters. Who doesn't like a series about a kid who thinks he can save the world by playing a card game?)
The card game as rendered on the videogames is hideously easy to break as in I managed to beat the story fights that you were supposed to lose (he had a stacked deck and cards far better than you could acquire in game).
As for the show- Yugi doesn't save the world tghrough card games, he saves it through some kind of crazy set of magical rituals which involves cards but in no way has any coherency as any form of game. Basically we are witnessing the ramblings of a mental patient but whereas that could be quite good (such as the Cabinet of Dr Caligari) Yugioh pitches the ball too straight in that Yugi's delusions are clearly seperated from his non-delusions (through the medium of card games) thus allowing the viewer perfect knowledge and oncoming boredom.
[QUOTE]
Harper's Island (You take a slasher horror movie and turn it into a thirteen part dramatic series which no one else seemed to like. I posted a thread about it and 0 responses. That was the start of my seperate Threadkiller breakdowns, but I am feeling much better now.) [/QUOTE
Nobody responds becuase nobodies seen it. Let this tell you something.
Quote:
The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind (It surely has flaws, such as excessive violence and sex, and it gets preachy towards the end, but overall it was a good series of books. Unfortunately, Goodkind seems to be a one-trick pony, The Law of Nines was basically a rehash of Confessor that takes place in "our" modern world.)
Fantasy- see above.
[QUOTE] The X-Files (I loved all nine seasons, and the first movie. I was disappointed with I want to Believe, since it was basically a remake of the MST3K classic, The Brain That Wouldn't Die.) [QUOTE]
Here's the thing about the X-files. After the first episode if you had to guess what it was about you would guess government conspiracy, working with aliens. That is what was hinting at. Then they spend 9 seasons dicking around denying this idea and then, oh wait yes that is exactly what is happening. What the fuck was the point of those 9 seasons again?
Quote:
Since we are on that subject, Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Take a guy and two robots, force them to watch horrible movies, and comedy ensues.)
So you actively choose to watch bad movies when you could just watch good movies? This is self-evidently bad taste.

I need clarification as to type of action movies, like some examples.

Good stuff, good stuff.

Since we are tearing down what each of us likes, how about telling us what you like, SMB. I am sure some people on this thread would be happy to tell you what they think of your favorite things.

X the man with X-ray eyes! See first post!

Re:Axecop and Dr Mcninja
AxeCop is suspiciously close to AxisCop which is basically the gestapo so if you cheering him on you love Nazis.
Dr Mcninja is a product of our corporatised, faceless franchised society (Mcninja indeed. M.C. Ninja would be a different story) which is culturally devoid and thus worthless.

X-ray Eyes? seriously? Yea thats never been done before. Whats worse is that no one ever realizes that being able to see X-rays is pointless since THEY DONT PENETRATE THE ATMOSPHERE

This film's actual ending is a huge let down compared to the alternate ending that's not in it. I mean, the ending may or may not have ever existed, but just the idea of it makes the real ending look like it's quite shit, relatively.

I love everyone, and I love fire!

My love for both at the same time is not mutually exclusive either, as everyone is equally flammable to a degree!

Rocky 4? Is that with or without the ridiculus part where Rocky body slams Hulk Hogan?

far as I'm concerned Rocky is down hill after the first one. Second is basically remake of the first with a "happy ending" third is just a "other side of the fence" story, fourth is just a propoganda film and 5. I mean I hope I dont have to explain that one.

Rocky 6 of course doesn't exist
