Editorial: Don't bank on Pacific Rim being a home run

Old men should know when to use "your", and when it's "you're".

and your assuming all old men finished school

I totally commented on the content. Sorry if it's difficult to trudge through a poorly written article. Communication is a two way street. I never insulted him or insinuated that he's a crossdresser. Which...honestly, I see nothing wrong with if he is.

When someone publishes something for public consumption, they can expect criticisms. If you're going to be upset every time something like that happens, you must REALLY hate all the people attacking celebrities for their looks or intelligence.

Well...should I just edit your whole editorial for you?

@bagadoosh,

Sincerely, I'm glad you have a sense of humor about it.

@francishates

That's too bad. One should always strive to better themselves, not just as a person, but with knowledge and ability. To hate someone who is capable and knows how to express thoughts well speaks volumes.

@bagadoosh, again,

I actually have really considered contacting the people on this site to see about an editor position. Here's how I'd have done your editorial:

While I have expectations for Pacific Rim to be a solid film, previous experiences have given me pause. Back when Independence Day was released, I was horribly disappointed when the film failed to deliver on promised made by the trailers. That film needed terrific effects to pull itself off, much like Pacific Rim will. If Rim does this right, Godzilla may as well throw in the towel. If it is unable to come through, it can't help but take one out of the film like it did for me with ID4. If you've seen that movie, surely you remember the dog jumping out of the way of the fireball. Even at the time, it stuck out like a sore thumb. The goal of an effects-fest like Pacific Rim is to take me away and keep me there. I believe if I've been popped back into reality then it's the film makers fault for not paying attention to detail. This may come across as snooty however I just paid $42 for Man of Steel, bringing home that movies are not just something to do when you're bored anymore. You go to the theater to see something spectacular. As such, we need to demand more from our filmmakers or just stop going. This is just an old man's perspective, thank you for allowing me to waste some of your time.

@DioFoRio

I actually think you're right, and that was why I appreciated his sense of humor about it. I was a jerk, and I recognize that.

@bagadoosh,

I think your point about MOS is the one I agree with the most. I have a hard time going to the theater anymore, unless it's a movie I have absolutely no doubt I'll love. Given ticket prices, but also home theater quality these days, it's tough to spring. Especially when it's cheaper to just buy the bluray than take the family to the theater.

for real , movies use to be a cheap first date , not anymore .

I'm just gonna leave this here for my BROTHA BAGS...


TEAM BAGS!! ;)


And I can see where you're coming from, bro. But I'm sure that this film will deliver the goods on such a large scale.

at least it is in NJ anyway

63 your contribution is appreciated brother

And no probs...Anything for a CBM brother. ;)

@SteveRogersSon

You insinuated I was a child, so I responded...not much else I can do there.

@FrancisHates

Oh chill out already.

@SteveRogersSon

nah, I typed it the way I thought it. Thank you for trying to help though.

@SRS - "So wrong it's right..63"


;P

@FrancisHates

I hope your internet tough guy routine doesn't mean I'm on that hate list! :(
