Bring out reasons dude. I never said that I'm RIGHT about anything, I'm simply trying to have a civilised debate over this issue. I don't have any degrees, but I still have ideas, and I walk the world with open eyes and ears. I meant no offense to you, honest

I'm sowwy, playbahnosh...
I like a good argument, so really don't take anything personally.
I'd take your cat hostage if I had to.

[Playbahnosh]

Don't you DARE touch my cat! :angry:
I rip your arm off and stick it in your back if I have to.





Anyway, The definition of boring, as you crtl+v-ed it here is consistent with my theory if you look it that way

Adj. 1. bored - tired of the world; "bored with life"; "strolled through the museum with a bored air"
world-weary
tired - depleted of strength or energy; "tired mothers with crying babies"; "too tired to eat"
2. bored - uninterested because of frequent exposure or indulgence; "his blase indifference"; "a petulant blase air"; "the bored gaze of the successful film star"
blase
uninterested - not having or showing interest; "an uninterested spectator"[/b]

See? "Uninterested because of frequent exposure". But what if you are frequently exposed to unhappyness? What if you are even more frequently exposed to the SAME type of movies, books...art? (on the same type I mean insanly bad) You get bored for all the wrong reasons there. Stress it is. "Depleted of strenght or energy" to take any more beating, thus you "revolt" against the cause of your unhappyness. And there are those cool catchphrases that even I didn't write, right there: Tired of the world, and bored with life. If people get THAT bored with life, most of them tend to change something to be LESS boring. And I'm not talking about your daily habits. You with me here? Or you gonna dismiss this one argument too as an insane hungarian trying to carve out some appreciation for himself?

[chumloofah]

I don't see how you make bored mean stressed.

6.
a. A mentally or emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health, usually characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, muscular tension, irritability, and depression.
b. A stimulus or circumstance causing such a condition.
7. A state of extreme difficulty, pressure, or strain[/b]

No revolt in history happened because the same nice things happened to people day in, day out until they got tired of it.
Logically, that means that there's something else to it than boredom.

[Playbahnosh]

fine...just ignore what I said <_<

I don't see the point to explain myself any further. If somebody wants to see my point, they got more than enough clarification. Then we can talk more.

'nuff said.

Now lets get another topic on which you can ignore me further

[chumloofah]

Could talk about imagination.

I hope you're happy, we've taken over poor Mighty's thread. k:

[Playbahnosh]

as UT2004 would say:

HIJACKED!!!



Anyway, lets get back on topic before this thread get closed for multiple infringement of the board rules...



soooooo... what did you imagine lately?



EDIT: I didn't wanted to aggravate the situation with double-posting, but I found something relevant to the discussion at hand

Talking about not having imagination... It's not the ideas that are bad, it's the industry!

Wow!!! All those films... that will never be born...

I'm so glad. They talk about them as the new seven wonders, but they appear to me as crappy candidates for the worst movie of the year.

Talking about imagination, they all seem to be the kind of sequels or adaptations that could have shown a complete lack of it.

[Luchsen]

Apropos sequels: Have to read another John Irving novel. They are like a series to me, although they're not connected (of course they are, they're all Irving ones). Imagine: You can read them in any order, and it's the right one. :w00t:

(I'm insane, you know.)

It is just as well that the HALO movie never got made. It would have been another Doom-- a movie of a video game.

Peter Jackson is not that great a director. What made the LOTR films so great was the story on which they were based. Not that the films were really all that great anyway. Rankin Bass Productions did a much better adaptation of Return of the King way back in 1978. It was a made-for-TV feature length animated film. The first thing that makes it better is that, even with commercials, it only runs ninety minutes. Yes, it does nearly gut the book to fit the story into that small slice of time; however, where it shows artistry is how it manages to link the vignetttes that it does include into a seemingly complete story. Unlike Jackson's version, we actually find out why Denethor is unhinged, but the whole affair with his madness is wrapped up in less than a minute with narration about how the Steward of Gondor is so dispirited, he has ordered his own execution, followed by a cut to Denethor telling Gandalf about what he has seen in his palantir. The Paths of the Dead is left out. It turns out that The Black Fleet was captured by Aragorn and his army, and is being used to quickly transport them all to Minas Tirith. Enough is left in to recognise the story, yet enough is left out to keep it short. Jackson cut stuff out and still had the films run to three hours.

Rankin Bass productions also did a version of The Hobbit.

LOTR is such a great story, that even Ed Wood could have made a compelling film out of it, providing none of the actors died during filming (Ed Wood was such a bad director, that he passed through the looking glass, and his films are fun to watch, even if only in a MST3K type of silly mood).

The best thing about Jackson's trilogy is that it paves the way for someone else to come around, at a later date, and do it right.

I can truly understand why Bill Murray would not have wanted to do Ghostbusters in Hell. Acting in front of a greenscreen, being upstaged by things that will only exist after post-production editting, combines the worst of both possible worlds of film and radio plays. You are by yourself and everyone can see you.

The only reason these films are considered the greatest films never made was precisely because they were never made. There were likely lots of better films pitched by nobodies that never had their phonecalls returned.
