RGA vs Lexmark -- was: Worst Sequel of all Time

[RGA]

You are so angry and distraught over this that you cant even get a sentence down right-----Im not arguing this above statement with you because I DID interview Jonathan Mostow and BELIEVE ME buddy, he was not CONNING a star struck magazine writer.......do I sense a little jealously here, huh?

Jealous of you? I think that would be an impossibility. You still don't adress the fact that you never actually make your case. Why is it people who don't agree with your assessment don't understand what the director was going for -- Please tewll us why we don;t understand it. This is the insight I seek and you never answer. You sere you can't answer it because instead of being a REAL film critic you simply shout down any opposition calling everyone who disagrees with you ignorant. I'm not surprised that I don;t read that magazine you work for -- I always thought i was a piece of crap and this just re-inforces that opinion.

You keep saying you offer insight - what insight? You regurgitate the plots and offer little as to why a film is either good or bad. I grant you that the films you posted would be next to impossible to write much interesting on because you keep posting garbage films like Escape from LA and Jurassic Park 3 so there isn't a helluva lot one can really say about them so until you actually present a good film rich in something other than thrill ride elements (and those two films don't even have that) then right now I'm assuming you're 15 years old and selecting films for your age group. I mean even when I was 15 I knew Halloween 2 was crap and so did everyone else I knew.

"What does my rating system have to do with anything? Most everyone who reviews film has some sort of rating system - professionals and non-professionals."

When did you ever review film, may I ask? And what are you professional or non professional and where are your credentials? Your rating system has EVERYTHING to do with this because its attached to every god damned thing you write, which is puke-inducing to begin with.

Not true - some of the films you've done like The thing I generally agree with. That is not the issue. The issue is that you do not back up your comments - anyone who doesn't agree with you you call ignorant - me, professional film critics that are too good to be DVD critics, and everyone else -- no one gets it because only you interviewed the ditrector and he told you what the movie was going for. The rating system I use changes from a letter grade format, out of five out of four and out of 10.0. The star rating means little anyway -- it's what the review has to say that matters -- all of these numbers and stars are only useful in relation to other films of similar genre.

But this was coming from HIS mouth, what dont you UNDERSTAND about that? I dont really care what your stance is on this, he didnt lie to me, Im not a sucker and you're just a complete baffoon for THINKING a director would LIE to a journalist......Jesus Christ.....

Again you don't answer the question -- Why don;t you do some thinking instead of just printing what the director said. You don;t have to BELIEVE everything do you. What exactly did he say? You are suggesting that he said his goal was to make a film that non-terminator fans would like and would be an action film. Then YOU say that anyone who doesn't like it is ignorant because they don't know what the director was going for. Well is that all you have -- he was going for an action film? No Kidding -- what's not to get? Why is it different than the first two ACTION films -- I know it's far worse -- And being far worse is different I grant you but what wonderous insight are you offering up...your criticism is reduced to T1 was boring and T3 was better because it had lots of action -- wow your staggerring articulation here is mind blowing.

It has NOTHING to do with what a DIRECTOR INTENDED? YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG and I WILL SAY THAT AGAIN.

Again WHY am I wrong? You have said on this movie and on Escape from LA that if people don;t like it they didn't get it or they don't know the intent. Again you do not back up anything you say with a REASON. You have discriminate and "make a case." You have to learn to address the WHY in your reviews.

If you say people don't GET it you ALSO have to say WHY and ALSO say what it is rreally about. Saying Terminator fans don't get T3 because the director was going for an Action movie is idiotic. Of course it's an action movie so tell us what grand insightful and deep thing Mastow was going for and why most people ajnd critics didn't understand it."

Simply not true, period.

What's not true? Why is it not true? Did you ever learn to make an argument in University? You claim people do not understand T3 or Escape from LA -- tell us WHY we don't understand it!

YOUR opinion again, and really not worth much if you ask me.

Well who would ask you? Your film criticism is beyond weak - you make no arguments when questioned about what you state -- Hell I'm not sure I would put a lot of stock into your film quality reviews judging by the system you have.

As a critic you get No Stars from me.
