Darth Groovy Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Originally posted by Astrotoy7 yes, troop, you are too late if you [huge pun]wanna be startin somethin[/huge pun] Heaps of dudes could play blade, its not really his delivery of superbly written dialogue that makes those movies popular or enjoyable... so anyone could play him, like Samuel L Jackson, Vin Diesel, Will smith, Ving Rhames, Sabretooth etc mtfbwya Samuel L Jackson: Cool, but too old and not enough Martial Arts type person. Vin Diesel: Not African American?! Ving Rhames: Cool, but too huge, and not an action hero type guy. Sabertooth: WTF is Sabertooth?!?!?

Kain Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 VHD - Owned by Kain Blade - Owned by Kain Dracula - Owned by Kain Lestat - Owned by Kain Rayne - Owned by Kain Anyone sensing a pattern here? Lets try again with another vamp... VHD - Owned by Count Strahd von Zarovich Blade - Owned by Count Strahd von Zarovich Dracula - Thats a tie, me thinks Lestat - Owned by Count Strahd von Zarovich Rayne - Owned by Count Strahd von Zarovich The cool things about vampires is that there are so many different ways to represent them. All other monsters are basically one dimensional. I'm also with Groovy on the 'Anime sucks' front of this lil war.

Expand your Imagi-Nation Hmmm Groovy, owned my a$$, Kains just saying he didnt like that movie, whats the big deal.... * * * Kain, if your friend chapter skips just to watch that bit then he's a sick freak, Im glad I dont have friends like that...! For those who havent seen Ninja Scroll I will fill you in lest you think I am some knid of perv(!) and so it wont discourage you from checking out this great flick.... *In ninja scroll : there are these 7 monsters/ppl with evil powers called the "7 devils of kimon" (they are trying to take control of Japan) *one is all made of rock, and when he captures a ninja girl called "Kagero" indecently assaults her However, 1)The hero of the film "jubei" interrupts him and kicks hiss ass 2)She was to have the last laugh as she has a posioned metabolism that causes the bad guy to die later on 3)Jubei and Kagero fall in love awwww so despite that yukky bit, I really recommend Ninja Scroll. Its standout is the amazing action sequences. It is a bit gory, in a kill bill type way... * * * Groovy, I see you like using pictures rather than words to express your profound thoughts.

Darth Groovy Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Not to mention Astrotoy7, you are the ONLY one that tries to turn this thread about a movie trailer into "your thoughts and love for anime" vs the silly americans and action films rant/debate. Frankly I find your posts annoying and self serving at best. You really have made no contribution to the "discussion". More or less you have tried to invoke some sort of argument with every post, being that you are ALWAYS right, and everyone else is stupid because we don't agree with you. Also trying to dazzle the members of "yoda's swamp" with your self proclaimed superior intelect was not only so four days ago, but also has been done ALOT better by other people, in fact some of them became mods just because they were that good at it. Yes I post alot of pictures, because I don't believe on wasting energy in arguing with you, because your simply enjoying it too much, and this thread was posted like over a week ago. And no thanks to you, has got so far off the subject, that it's not even funny anymore. So please, on behalf of me, all the rest of us silly action hero loving americans (and swampies) : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Originally posted by Darth Groovy Not to mention Astrotoy7...... How did the 'America' part come into this...... man, you are one misguided bugger. I love american movies, David Lynch is my favourite director of all time, and my most favorite of all movies is an american film series full of action, namely the SW series..... so you sir, should know better, as a mod to turn this into "you hate americans" argument. stfu huh....Quite frankly, what gives you the right, as a mod to come and tell me to STFU. Just because I posted a picture of a 15th century scuplture doesnt mean I think I have a superior intellect, I did this because I was talking about the aesthetics of two very similar characters(Blade, and VHD). Skinwalker and Toms chipped in with some excellent comments, but your only responses are ridiciulous 'forum' pics that are designed to insult Am I meant to bend over and cop it, as you're a mod... You talk about being me self serving and inciteful, what effect have your actions towards me produced. To add further insult to injury, you revealed how others were so adept at arguing their cases(unlike myself it seems) they became mods. How did you become one then, I'd really like to know....not via that method methinks... I *never* think I'm right, Im not here trying to convince anyone of anything. I deeply appreciate others comments and insights, even if I dont fully agree with them. When Toms and Skinwalker made their comments, did I say "STFU". Skinwalkers excellent post has made me dig out my old Hellenistic Sculpture textbooks, because that pic he linked to is an amazing artwork I had almost forgotten about. Just because Kain doesnt like Ninja Scroll, did I insult him, or post an insulting forum pic, no I clarified the movie a bit further because there may be someone who may want to check that movie out one day. Its a great animated action flick IMO.... at the end of the day, what's sad is that you seem to get upset by someone trying to argue or discuss a point *against you* As I write this, Im far from upset, perhaps a bit frustrated because those pics of yours ire me, but thems the breaks in the forums. That doesnt stop me from thinking that in this instance you have been utterly hopeless at being a moderator, moderators calm things down, as obi says "keep the peace." Obi and I have had points of discussion where we have had severely opposing views in, not once did he post a STFU pic. We PM'd each oother and settled things maturely, and amicably. man, this thread has(almost) put me off watching Blade ever again mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 So now you've turned it into a "you mods" discussion. I have seen your posts come up, you mods this, you mods that, or "some mods" etc. Since you personally are disatisfied with my work as a mod, and you don't think i'm keeping the peace, i'll humor you and keep the peace. No, i've never been known to throw my power around, ask any member. Besides if I did, I would have banned you at least a month ago, for harassing OTHER members, but I looked the other way. Your welcome. How did I become a mod? One day Matt-Windu said I was a mod, and voilla. A year later, he said I was a supermod. That's it. I THINK I know what I am doing by now. If your unhappy whith the way I do things, you can PM me as well. I have never recieved one PM from you either, so am I supposed to make the first move? You can also use the report post feature, or pm an admin. Yes we post insulting pictures here. Welcome to the Swamp, enjoy the ride. If you find THAT insulting, you might want to find yourself a different set of forums, or maybe venture away from the swamp, because we have a low threshold of tact around here. Sorry, but trying to compare VHD to Blade, is like trying to compare Gandalf to Moses. Sure, they both have beards, but they come from different era's and different genres, and have completely different premises. I don't see how Blade can be accused of ripping off of VHD, when the span of time is so far off, it is not even funny. That is how this thread has spiraled out of control, that is where this argument has come from. And besides, if not for VHD, how the hell does Ninja Scroll have anything to do with Blade?!?! You brought that one up, and Kain called you on it. Also, since you made this a public argument, I can argue all day and night. Refer to this rule: "14. Do not hound current moderators or admins." You want to assult my role as supermod of LF, give it your best shot, I have all day. If you continue the argument, so will I. Now, if you HONESTLY want to end this thing, and your not just saying this to try to get one over on me, then PM me, and we'll hash it out. I am not unreasonable. So to prove my point, and since this is what LF expects of me, i'm going to attempt to end this silly argument here, and steer this thread back on track. That being said, does anyone know where or when the first Blade Trinity trailer is going to show on the big screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Groovy, I see you like using pictures rather than words to express your profound thoughts. Once again, great contribution to the discussion. s'wrong with that? You aren't actually hearing our voices...so it's a different means of communicating, and I for one like to have fun with it . Everything Groovy has said... I agree mostly with you, yes Astro is hard to reason with...that one I know for sure... He enjoys being intellectual. And also thinks his opinion matters more over others. But hey, we don't know him, so just as long as he isn't insulting anyone wether I care for them or not. S'ok for me. I always consider things of this matter as the rules of the 'Right of Way'. Be curtious, forgive and forget, focus on what matters...(in this case)...FUN! No one says you have to like everyone. I just think it is right to respect everyone. ---------NOW BACK TO TOPIC!----- I guess it's what ya know. I mean, no one here is gonna pursuade anyone of liking something they don't care for. unless you have jedi mind powers such as myself. *waves hand* Groovy will forgive Astro, and Astro will forgive Groovy. *waves hand again* Now astro will put his finger in his nose and pick Troopr a winner! Yeah lame joke, I just don't feel right being preachy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Originally posted by Astrotoy7 Kain, I hope youve seen Ninja Scroll, there is no way in the universe that anime masterpiece sucks, in anyones book that rubbish doesn't even deserve to be called anime... it's some badly drawn, badly written early 80s excuse for an animation... Good anime is good, average anime is average and bad anime is bad... just like any other artform. Saying "anime rules!" or "anime sucks!" is just foolish. Its like saying Music sucks, or Movies suck. and as someone who is entirely impartial in this discussion it seems to me that groovy is the one comming off as an arrogant idiot, not astro, so i wouldn't worry about it. In other threads he mostly comes across as more sensible though... mostly. I really can't be bothered to go back an look, but i'm pretty sure that astro admitted a few pages back that he had been wrong about VHD pre-dating blade. They are both comic book based half-vamp/half-human daywalkers who have had movies made about them... but it is a pretty "easy" idea to come up with so it is most likely that they were thought of independently by the writers involved. anime rules...
