Hopefully other fair minded people will do the same. Badmouthing something without any reason is pretty poor form.

Quote:I didn't mean my post the way Tlacock took it, and I kinda wish I hadn't been slammed because of it. Personally, I have no other reason to see Elektra because I don't really like comic book movies anyways, and then add to it the negative publicity and that's my reasoning for not going. I also figured that many of us were going to see if for the sole purpose of seeing the trailer. If other people want to see it without the trailer, more power to them. Advance press isn't always right, and plenty of people like movies regardless of what the critics say.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I almost feel sorry for the movie because, without the "Serenity" trailer being attached to it, it's going to have serious problems hehehe. I mean, I'm definately not going to go see it without the lure of the "Serenity" trailer. Anyone agree with me? ~Caite "Go sell crazy somewhere else. We're all stocked up here."

I have just as much right as everyone else to watch a movie so I'd appreciate you not bitching me out and playing the condescending adult, cause that's really not fair. I dislike Alias. I dislike Jennifer Garner. I dislike the Jen/Elektra/Alias craze. Am I a stereotypical 'young girl'? No. I'm a girl with an actual mind of her own. I dislike JG's character on Alias, the show seems false to me *shrugs* No need to talk down to me because I don't like it. Its not as though I'm bad mouthing anyone just by saying that I aren't a fan. We all have our own opinions, maybe being civil and respecting them wouldn't be too hard.

Quote:Originally posted by Libby: Zeek, first of all, you’re obviously very much not sorry for saying it, or you simply wouldn’t have *consciously* gone there. ;) Either that, or you have some sort of impulse control problem/itchy posting finger that leaves your statement even more hypocritical. If you want to go around insulting today’s youth, perhaps you should try to demonstrate a slightly more mature behavior level yourself. There was nothing about Phoebe’s post that should have led to any of the personal insults that came from anyone on this board. Yes, they were personal. She was simply stating her opinion, and who is to say that it’s any less valid? Because she’s younger than some of us? Nobody is trying to put anyone on the “high moral ground”, but simply on equal ground. The fact that some of you can’t understand that just goes to prove her words even more strongly. Now even though I am quite a number of years older than Phoebe, I happen to know the girl pretty well. I can say from my experience, she is very much NOT “stereotypical angsty youth”. Her maturity level truly is far beyond her years, and the fact that some of you have chosen to discriminate against her based on her age alone without even knowing the girl, again, goes to prove your own immaturity level. It’s quite obvious that some of you didn’t like that Phoebe has a mind of her own and chooses to tactfully disagree with some of your opinions. There’s certainly nothing wrong with a difference of opinion, nor is there anything wrong with a mature discussion of differing opinions. However, some of your rude, personal, discriminatory, and hypocritical comments are best left at the door. If you don’t agree with someone, fine, but don’t sit there and talk down to them like YOU are the one on the higher moral ground.

Quote:Originally posted by Zeek: [B You have to see that Phoebe's post was full of attacks. "I have a mind of my own" implying that other youths who like Alias are mindless drones. Calling the people who replied to her message "condescending adults". She also attacked people saying they were not being "civil and respecting". If she was indeed "mature beyond her years" I would expect her to keep personal attacks out of her discussion.
