My favorite "argument enders"

[KcMsterpce]

"You don't get it"/"You don't understand."

"You weren't paying attention."

"You just don't know how to have fun at the movies."

"Your expectations were just too high."

"What did you expect?"

"Well, yeah... I didn't go to be taught a life lesson; I went to be ENTERTAINED."

"It's one of the greatest films ever made. If you can't see that, you need to get your head out of your FAT ASS."

"It's one of the worst movies ever made. If you can't see that, it's your problem."

"You hate it because it's popular/because it's the cool thing to do right now."

"You love it because everyone else does."

"If would have been good if you saw it 4 months ago, when it was 'underground'."


These are always great to read. I never ever feel pissed off or stupid reading these kinds of comments. They always make me see the truth of things. These are the ultimate "argument enders." I just sit back, and let the truth soak in after reading this kind of stuff.

How about YOU guys? Which is YOUR favorite?

[FatSakHead]

"Well that's your opinion!" when trying to defend their stupid reasons for liking shitty movies.

"I guess you just need to read the book."

[X-Nightcrawler]

Nah, there's one that's better.

"Oh, and *your favorite movie* is so much better, right? :rolleyes:"

. . . what, it's stupid.
It is!

And fuck that ":rolleyes:" smiley, too. Grr.

[Lord Raiden]

"You know what? You're out of your fucking mind, grandma!!"

[solidstealth]

"i wouldn't have to hit you if you would just listen to me!!" j/k

[Badbird]

"Well, you liked (insert movie here), so what do you know?"

[Tweek]

Nah, there's one that's better.

"Oh, and *your favorite movie* is so much better, right? :rolleyes:"

. . . what, it's stupid.
It is!

And fuck that ":rolleyes:" smiley, too. Grr.

In sort of the same wavelength, "Where's YOUR hit movie?"

[Tagia_Romero]

'Sic vos narro' :D

[X-Nightcrawler]

In sort of the same wavelength, "Where's YOUR hit movie?"That one's great too.

"Oh yeah? Well I bet you couldn't do any better."

Oh, Eli, shut it. Gawd.

[Mr.HyDe807]

"nope, your wrong, its sucks!"

Wow, you got me there....excuse me, i'm going to the bathroom to cry myself to sleep.

[X-Nightcrawler]

"nope, your wrong, its sucks!"

Wow, you got me there....excuse me, i'm going to the bathroom to cry myself to sleep.You sleep in the bathroom? :(

[Mr.HyDe807]

You sleep in the bathroom? :(

I was going for a more "distraught so much that you grieve in a unlikely place until you pass out" schtick, but i think that didnt play out as well as i hope.:D

[a7xfan]

'oh go fuck yourself, you retard!'


'i'd like to see you do better, with the millions you got stashed away, twat'


'it was fucking crap, your an idiot for liking it'


'what is bad about it?'

"You know what? Fuck you."

[KcMsterpce]

Nah, I'm not talking about direct flaming and insulting.

I'm thinking more along the lines of the roundabout way of "politely" putting people down for their opinions.

Some times that's worse than just saying someone's an asshole, or telling them to fuck off.

An opinion on a movie is just that. Many people seem to think that because their opinion is 'correct', then no one else should be able to disagree.

I post many times in threads about movies I don't like. This is partly because if EVERYONE posts how perfect a movie is, then what's the point of debate?
Also, I'm sure there are others who also share my opinion, but maybe they just kind of need a platform to jump start their thoughts. After another person states their thoughts, it helps them organize their own and chime in.

I enjoy debate over movies, which is why I love this site. MOST of the time, the moronic argument styles are sifted and tossed away.

There are many times, though, where it's hard to try and state your reasons behind the like/dislike of a movie because there are people vehemently opposed to your feelings, and try to make you appear stupid for having a differing opinion by making the statements from my first post.

[Richard Kylea]

Couldnt agree more

[Tweek]

Such as:

Poster 1: There Will Be Blood was a bad movie.

Poster 2: Your opinion is wrong, Maggot!

[chasingbanky]

You guys must have some pretty subpar tastes, I've never had any of these things said to me. :confused:

[Sigur509]

Well thats just like, your opinion...man.

[bigred760]

Someone once responded to my criticism by saying:

"You criticize the film for the very reasons that it was made."

It took me a few days to try to come up with a response to that.

[countchocula]

But what if they really don't get it? Sometimes, people don't get it. It's a fact of life.

But yeah, these are all annoying, especially "I'd like to see YOU make a movie."

Most of the time, "it" is just a matter of opinion anyway. They don't "get" what you "get."

[X-Nightcrawler]

But what if they really don't get it? Sometimes, people don't get it. It's a fact of life.

But yeah, these are all annoying, especially "I'd like to see YOU make a movie."I still say most "Cloverfield" haters just didn't get it.

*sits on pretentious chair and shakes fist*

Ya'll damn haters.

Yeah, but racists, bigots, and Uwe Boll are people who clearly don't get it.

I think I've seen every one of those while browsing the imdb forums in the past.

[bigred760]

Okay . . . I'll give you those.

my favorite argument ender http://youtube.com/watch?v=Iz6ypTV1-1w

[Servo]

"You don't get it"/"You don't understand."

I get this every time I express how much I disliked Grindhouse, Shoot 'Em Up and That Rob Zombie Movie With That Guy Who Wears a Michael Myers Mask.

As if purposefully being a bad movie is the movie's way of being bulletproof against bad reviews.

They sucked monkey balls.

I like this one too:

"It would've made millions if it hadn't been leaked a week earlier."

YOU WISH ELI ROTH. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[the clever guy]

Well thats just like, your opinion...man.

FTW

[Homyrrh]

Cicular logic playsa predominant role in this.

POST #1: "You liked 'Movie X' so your taste isn't credible.
POST#2: "What? You have the worst opinion on movies. You even liked 'Movie X'?

...

[SpoonMan999]

"Well my <insert type of degree here> says I know what I'm talking about."

In response to movies many psycholgy students like to throw their acheivments in your face when discussing characters. "Well he was dealing with stress from his childhood and..." No, no, no, he was just a pussy.

[Gordon]

The best way to end an argument is to scream "Jesus would agree with me!" and leave the room.

[the clever guy]

*holding fists up*..."this here is jack johnson and tom o'leary and they say you're wrong!"

"seeing as how i'm not a jerry's kid, i wouldn't like that movie...unlike you."

[Dragula]

Well you know what Kc? Thats your opinion!

[Asa_Phelps]

I swear if one more person gives me the 'Well you know what they say about opinions . .. they're like assholes. Everyone has one!' line I might just possibly stop commenting in that thread.

Also any form of the 'arguing on the internet/special olympics' line as well.

[SpoonMan999]

Person 1: "You know what they say about opinions, they're like assholes..."
Person 2: *Cutting off person 1* "I like to have sex with opinions?"

Bst response I've ever heard to that line.

[blk_flower]

I have this one kid who would say
"whatever man."
