Just now, Smitty said:It was to register my distaste with you definitively stating what isn't artistically important, or even just suggesting that it isn't ultimately the audiences assessment of something that matters but artistic intent.
Then just fucking say that instead of making a snide remark that adds nothing to the discussion. Now I actually have a counter opinion to work with that I can then argue against. You are always telling people off for shutting down discussion and making remarks without engaging properly, so if you are going to hold someone else to that high standard you need to do better yourself.
On your point above: I do not agree it is ultimately the audience's assessment of something that ultimately matters. The artistic intent and audience reaction to it is a collaborative process. The intent of art is often hidden and not truly understood outside repeated examination of a text, and audience reaction over time is often malleable and subjective on a wide variety of factors. One thing that is true is not every audience will have the necessary language to interpret artist intent, so they will get a differing reading of a piece of art to an academic for example.

Yeah Maniac Cop is actually a really good B movie.

Did you switch your brain off before you wrote this? You're only meant to do it with shitty movies, not constantly.
I offered an opinion on something in a thread on a specific topic, and you popped up to try and shout it down without giving a counter argument. What was the purpose of your contribution and quoting me other that to rile me? Have I done that to you in some way that has given you an axe to grind?

Smitty, the authority on everything and everyone else's opinion and what they are allowed to say in a discussion. Including when they are more knowledgeable than he is.

Amateur film criticism that tries to pick holes in elements that are unimportant from an artistic point of view is usually just as annoying as people who say to switch your brain off.

In the comics Drax actually is a nigh on unkillable superhuman anyway.

People in here have the patience of a Skywalker. Why risk watching an incomplete episode or one with popups all over it when it's properly available in a matter of days?
I'm out until then in case some (sword naming) cunt spoils it by mistake.

You can't avoid spoilers for a show that hasn't even been written these days. At this rate someone will have invented a time travel device next year and we'll be getting season 8 sent back for us to see before this season finishes.

When Davos came to get him and when he turned around for the first time, it took a good 3 seconds before I realized that it was not Batman.
Batman would not row that slowly. He would invent a propulsion system for the boat.

You mistyped Brienne and Tormund.
I want Cleganaggedon. But we don't always get what we want.

Just get Bran to recount to Ned his heartwarming tale of how beautiful Sansa was on her wedding night.

Evan the master one-linerers slip up from time to time on matters of incest.

Something about that doesn't sit right with me. I'm finding hard to put into words why though.

I fucking love cheeky chappy smuggler Davos.

Playing it on pad on PC is probably a surefire ticket to frustration, especially if you're not normally an FPS player. Get PS4 version and join team too many Symmetras.

I don't think anyone is truly dead in GOT unless they are actually beheaded. And maybe not even then.

I like Lucioball. When I played my first match I was like, this is fucking shit. Then I got some kind of footy fever and preferred it to regular Overwatch.
I don't even like football.

It's a shame you don't have that university education you always say you wished you had, then you might have had the ability to have an academic argument without sniping at people for no real reason or purpose other than to get their backs up. You're staggeringly ignorant on the subject of academic film criticism so I'm going to back away from this discussion now.
