[citation][nom]velozzity[/nom]Look punk, you can get me kicked off these forums or whatever you want, but i stated an opinion about the movie, and the plot in a synopsis is what I described...did i say it was fluff artwork, no, but cinema in general is a form of art, just like music or paintings. Most people these days take cue from what they see in movies, they consider it hip, i mean the last thing we need is some Mexican Street Gang (sur13 and los primos for example) taking this movie as some sort of war cry and using it to recruit more young latinos into their cause.I own AMD/ATI equipment, a Phenom II 965 and a Radeon 5870 to be exact, do I feel that i should stop using them because they were used to render some CGI scenes or whatever for a tasteless movie, no...AMD did not choose to be affiliated with scum no more than Smith and Wesson or glock chose to be used for bad purposes...they are only a tool which can be used any way that the user sees fit...should these forums be outlawed because me you or anyone else can come in here and make personal attacks at someone, nope, its the users responsibility to use it with discretion. If you wouldn't have came off like a jerk i would'nt be writing this, but you shot first so expect it back.Did you miss the part about my son being Half hispanic, well things like this trash make his life harder because it promotes discord between the 2 races....I don't really look at my son as white or spanish or whatever and in most cases do not see people for whatever race they are unless they chose to segregate themselves, we are all human beings and my way of characterizing someone is not by their race but by their actions. if i hurt your feelings because you are a minority then you have pretty thin skin and are oblivious to the disruptive nature of a movie plotting one race against another. I don't think with a name like assmar you are hispanic, so wtf are you coming from telling me to shut up because the movie doesn't even involve your ethnic group.......And are you calling Whites/Euros whatever backwards, crawl back into your racist cave you came out of, we are not oppressed nor did i state we were but If you are a minority your so called Affirmative Action is just reverse racism and an easy way to get ahead in life...look at the majority of mid level government jobs and don't tell me something is wrong with whats going on here....and anyone except the person who directly gains from it cannot dispute that. Grow a brain before you spout off hateful crap assuming what my 2 sentence reply means, assuming doesn't do anything but make a Ass out of you and others can Shout just as loud back...[/citation]
No, you didn't hurt my feelings, I hurt your feelings, because you're the one who wrote 5 paragraphs about it and went for the oh-so-clever ass/name jokes. I put it in there you moron, I know it says ass. I found your comments about race equally offensive, which is why I responded to your idiotic comment. If you can have an opinion, I can have one too. Like I stated earlier, you're on a messageboard on the internet at a tech website, you're going to have a great deal more ppl thumb up your comment than mine, that doesn't make you right. And simply because you claim to have some connection with the hispanic community doesn't mean you can spout out such vitriol about us.

Crap, i actually read your comment, and i'm just impressed you were able to use the spacebar without opposable thumbs. Very quickly, look up the term "personal attack" because I didn't do that in my initial reply, but i do feel obliged to do so now.

Just because your white and like to bone down with us hispanics because of our "beautiful skin" (racist compliments are still racist) doesn't give you freedom to say about us whatever you please without a response. Oh, but you don't see race, like Stephen Colbert.

Simply because some books, movies, and video games may be considered art, that does not make all works in those mediums art. Example The Hidden Fortress (film) is art, but Biodome (also a film) is not art. Do you understand now (probably not)?

This movie will no more influence the behavior of individuals than Desperado did. here's the influence you'll get from this movie: might want a low rider, might try to speak with a spanish accent, might think it's acceptable to wear nothing but boots jeans and an open leather vest, might get a motorcycle, will probably be really disappointed when they realize they can't get a machine gun online to mount upon the handlebars of the aforementioned motor vehicle.

No one is talking about closing the forums because of our comments. They're also not going to shut down the internet if you don't forward those emails about to all your equally thick friends.

I've heard no one, in the context of speaking about this film, talk about inciting a race war, or rather I've only heard white people do so.

And the backward people to whom I referred earlier were those people who really truly believe that today in the USA white men are the most oppressed group. That's simply silly and untrue.

Finally and most importantly "punk"? You wanna shoot this out at the OK Corral tomorrow at high noon, cowboy? LOL

Crysis jokes are so 2009 😛
 
All the people taking this movie seriously make me laugh. I guess none of you saw planet terror. It's supposed to be as over-the-top ridiculous as possible and yet people say things like this:
[citation][nom]tokenz[/nom]Really a Gatling Gun on a motorcycle. They weight what 1 or 2 hundred pounds. How the f are you going to not dump the motorcycle on every corner.[/citation]
Yeah, and Rose McGowan could really fire a gigantic weapon with her amputated leg? That's like someone playing Devil May Cry and saying "He just got impaled 3 times! How is he not dead? This game is terrible!"
 
[citation][nom]neiroatopelcc[/nom]I hope all the hardware's been put to good use and removed steven segal from the movie ; otherwise it can't become a hit anyway.[/citation]
And maybe replace him with Katie Segal *tiger growl*
