I'd appreciate if you didn't call me dumb and argumentative for simply trying to understand why someone said Justin Lin is a great director and I agreed and gave examples, and then multiple people said he shouldn't deserve credit for those examples, that it was other people, and then couldn't...

Cool. Didn't know about that site! Good find!

I don't have an issue! I was saying it was cool and the director did really good, but now people are saying the director doesn't do anything. That single long scene from season 1 everyone was praising the director for.... wtf. Didn't people know that was just Pizzolatto's writing and...

So the director said "hey, VV and Coolin, I need you both to sit in that booth...." and their job is done. The direct of photography will handle the camera angles, along with the writer, and the editor has ultimate power to cut away to the chick singing and back and forth on each of them...

I didn't have any issues with the camera shots. I said they were great. Now I'm learning it had nothing to do with the director, so I'm not sure who to give credit to. And I guess that Funkanunka guy that didn't do directing in the first season as the direct shouldn't be given credit since it...

I'm just trying to learn how this works. So the director didn't direct the crew to shoot each character from a certain angle in the bar, or cut away shots, or the like? So, what does the director do, then? I mean, they're given a script/screenplay, and the writer has decided how every scene...

Hrm. So if the writer is in charge of cameras and how to shoot a scene, then what the fuck is the director doing? What are we all agreeing Justin Lin is good at, if not setting up the shots and deciding how to shoot a scene and, umm, like directing the actors and stuff? Are we saying Justin...

Yeah. I really loved the 3 seconds shot from a crane to show McAdams getting kicked out of a casino throwing a plastic cup. It was awesome getting to see the action up close like that! Or cutting back and forth like 10 times from VV to the bar, back to VV, back to the bar, Coolin back to VV...

I'm pretty chill. When I call someone a fucking moron it's pretty boring and factual, not like I'm in a spitting rage or some emo shit. If it makes someone's vagina bleed that's their problem?

Why? Honest question. I don't understand how many people rupture their anal fissure because people will compare two things the creators of a show obvious expect and on some level must want compared otherwise they wouldn't have made a second season, but a different show. Is it because...

Some people don't want something they can sip and savor, they just want to pound it down without thought.

Having to coach Boogie.... he's probably trying to get himself fired or traded!

Yeah, management tools are great. Problem with Vanguard for some classes like Disc and BMG is it really wasn't ever a worry and took little to manage. It's about having to manage it, but management means it's limited by the methods of management. Better to say active management, because one...

Can we all please just admit that everything about Vanguard combat mechanics were better than EQ except class balance (at times), animations, and needing some tweaks so energy wasn't quite so unlimited. If we start there, we'll be much fu'ther along than discussing EQ, that I loved, but not for...

Chinatown, eh? Do you just drop her off at a local opium den for babysitting while you're working?

Why wouldn't they, that's his name. Because his fists stick to utterly implausible assault!

It seems like what you're saying is Lebron isn't a great GM?

So, what you're saying is basically: "I dare anyone to tell me something I agree with and if I don't I'll discount it and continuing thinking exactly how I do despite being overwhelmingly seem as wrong and I'm going to dismiss people for personal attacks while calling everyone's opinion I don't...

This reminds me of the time the Heat were going to win 8 in a row. Lebron is great and the Cavs will be contenders faster, but chasing 'next year we'll win it for sure' has rarely worked. It didn't work this year for Cleveland, and I think they'd have had even less of a shot if Love was...

Far and away? Not sure I believe that. Maybe I've just gotten doubtful, because they've been saying that about Lebron's teams from the beginning and that hasn't exactly happened.

Maybe this is why your wife doesn't provide BJs, she's afraid you'll shoot it through the back of her skull.

I thought Love was on a contract that extended through next year. Everyone was saying how it's perfect for Cleveland because Love will want to stay to get a max deal after next year, so they're sure to at least have him two seasons and that he shouldn't be opting out. Now people are saying...

I made a post about how TES and EQ both managed to make the world feel alive and relevant despite taking different approaches, and how/why TESO felt fake and contrived. You simply chose to ignore it. Or you are just dumb. All games will get shit on by some people. As you point out, though...

Almost makes you think it was more a product of the conspiracy nuts all along, not the actual content of the show.

Have we already discussed how unlikely it is to stop a story from being run in the papers by sending a dirty cop to kick the shit out of the reporter and steal his laptop when the first article of the series has already been published and surely the reporter isn't writing it as he goes nor only...

Damn you Tuco, you're ruining my immersion and stretching out my suspension of disbelief! Nothing else to talk about. Gonna be a long winter.

Ah, hrm, well, yeah, maybe we're just dumb fucking mouthbreathers who don't understand your avant-garde methods when it comes to basic communication skills. Yeah, I believe you, just two unrelated sentences taken out of the context of an entire fucking chain of discussion. Good defense...

But that doesn't sound very well done. You mean, they botched the timing and execution of the launch, the underlying tech, and the implementation of content? Oh, was that all?

Of course not. I'm just a dumb fuck on the internet pretending to know everything when I don't like that someone else doesn't like the same things as I do.

I'll assume your thoughts at least include: And would love to hear your other observations and theories on what suspension of disbelief actually means, both to a writer/creator and the the viewer. I'm being serious. Because right now it seems you think it means shit doesn't have to make...

Or you just spell it out, give us the straight dope, and we learn more about the character and how she interacts with the world and her lovers. There's a difference between mystery and confusion, between suspense and omission. I thought it was just a cop-out by unsure writing, but then again a...

Don't taze me, bros, but I'll try to clarify why some people are saying this was slower than season 1, and some people saying it was too fast, ect. Season 1 was paced very methodically, but right from the start the story was underway and progressing. So the pace was slow, but deliberate...

Also, punk kids these days don't understand REAL music or that REAL women have nice, thick, musky muffs! The world should return to being as God and Brad intended, my friends, AS GOD AND BRAD INTENDED!

You being younger with less responsibility and able to afford being foolish with your time? I'd like that too, man.

Boogie is a degenerate and Karl isn't the kind of coach in favor these days since he actually tells players to do shit, but I'd gladly take Karl over Boogie if it were that simple. Not that I give a shit. Grew up in NoCal and fuck the Sacramento Kings straight to hell! In fact, they deserve...

Don't bother trying to explain it. The best possible motivation swagdaddy could accept is that they're just a bunch of lowlifes doing random shit because they're degenerates, not because their mortal fucking enemy that recently tried to kill them all, several times, is now being paraded past...

Eh, please, don't be a whiny bitch about it. If I were that bad I'd thank you for helping save trees by conserving so much punctuation.

Why did they flip on the other Lo Comm? Can't remember.

Not really. I even tried to explain how TV works. You don't have thousands of pages to ramble on knowing people will buy your book anyhow. You've got to condense shit. You show the scenes that demonstrate the progression of a character or story-line and hope the viewer is paying enough...
