The other thread seriously derailed and I felt like I got off on the wrong foot here. I can now clearly see you people have no intention of actually being civil, and every single time I post here will end in an attack of some sort.

Not from all...mostly Frank, who seems to have it in for you, although I canNOT figure out what his problem is. He couldn't even resist trying to bring that other thread's discussion into this thread. If you ignore him, you'll note that everybody else is simply having a friendly debate. Frank's the only unreasonable one in this thread.

Then just say that you're not impressed with the trailer

I'm not impressed with the trailer....or you.

I swear, I can't believe there are now 3 pages of this claptrap.

Ok...I can't believe your still adding to it. If it makes you feel better to single me out as an instigator, fine, YOUR opinion is just as meaningless to me as Mark's. I didn't start this thread, and last time I checked, its OK to respond to posted threads and opinions are encouraged whether they be positive or negative.

Like it was mentioned earlier, he put his nuts on the chopping block when he put up his trailer and said "look at this". I have wished Mark well in his job and agreed that if its his hobby, then he should go with it...

but I must say, if its your hobby....then it's your hobby. Have fun with it.

yeah so.....take your accusitory finger and shove it up your.... [sleep]

My personal opinion, for what it's worth: The battle royale of Mark vs. Frank should be decided by who actually gets an avatar photo up. Since it's very easy to "flame" back and forth anonymously.
By the way, I golf for a hobby, which is very pointless. [beer]

The point of golf is to get the ball into the hole. Now you know what you've been doing wrong! [Wink]

Your posts really speak for themselves, there's no need to single you out - you've done it for yourself. I speak especially of your smartass post in the openings/closings thread... a perfect example of your attitude problem. That is what really lead me to the whole troll thing. (It seemed to be a new term for you... I assure you it's quite commonly used when referring to troublemakers in forums.)

Normally I'd agree with you, and I'd probably have an avatar up by now. However... A. I'm not sure if I like it here all that much yet, and B. Frank doesn't come across as a very stable person, I don't need to make it that much easier for him to hunt me down. [Wink]

Hunt you down? Wow...your paranoid. Besides, your name is Mark, you will be working at the Majestic as an usher, and will most likely have a name tag that says...Mark. Am I close?

I was going to add a Zzz but they'd apparently all been used up in this topic.

Mark, if you enjoy it do it. It may get even get you somewhere you want to be in future employment. Though not outstanding, it was certainly easily passable as a real trailer. That's got to be a good thing for you, right?

Now, personally, I prefer trailers of the thirties, forties and fifties with the flip cards etc. but that's just me. If they did it today no-one in the audience could read it anyway. The only reason they show the end of the movie in trailers nowadays is so when they go to see the actual movie they know that's the movie they wanted to see when they saw the trailer last week.
