TET: The Extraterrestrial Thread

Uhm, cellulose is a major component in all green plants.

Yeah, but the trick here is that many of the trees that were traditionally grown and harvested for the paper industry are now processed as an ingredient for food products. Apparently wood cellulose can actually replace the feel and sensation of fat in edibles, which does seem to be a significant advantage.

The reduced fat content just makes it less satisfying, so people eat larger servings, or they'll get hungry later and snack on something else.

That's poor impulse control for you.

The pacing was off, the acting was cringe inducing, the writing wasn't good, the cinematography was... okay, I guess, the editing needed major improvements, the opening was somewhat confusing, about half of the characters were insufferable, the "humor" if you can call it that, wasn't funny, and the film was somehow worse than The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

It was an amazing movie. Literally the best spiderman we've seen in film so far. Toby Mcguire's character trashed the spiderman concept and Andrew Garfield's character was a decent attempt to erase that.

Maguire was fine for his first two. Not perfect Spider-Man, but nice popcorn entertainment. Garfield I honestly wanted to like but it felt more like just an attempt to keep making money of Spider-Man.

From what I hear though, never seen it myself, Homecoming is the first time a movie genuinely felt Spider-Man to Spider-Man fans. Seeing as I've been reading the comics since daycare that's pretty relevant for me.

It's people's bodies telling them, "Hey! Stop feeding me shit and give me real food!"

The problem is when people respond by just eating more shit.

Maybe Swag is one of those people who actually liked the latest Fantastic Four movie, or even all the Fantastic Four movies! Fox desperately tries to avoid the return of those fictional characters to Disney/Marvel, so they are planning a Doctor Doom movie in order to keep the rights. Somewhere in the coming centuries Fox shall be able to make a halfway decent Fantastic Four movie and actually make a bit of a profit for once!

Oh heavens no, I didn't like those films. Fan4stic was dreadfully dull and and the older ones were too silly for my tastes.

I blame Kannap

I didn't see a single thing on that list that I eat.

We have to blame someone, so I picked you.

[Kannap]

Swaglord seems a better candidate.

Swaglord seems a better candidate.

And why exactly would you blame me?

[Ethel mermania]

to get out from under the glare of the spotlight

to get out from under the glare of the spotlight

Definitely a good reason

I hated this movie. I hated this movie. I hated this movie.

I've endured many bad films, whether they're "so bad it's good" (Such as 2000's Dungeons & Dragons, featuring Academy-Award Winner Jeremy Irons as an overacting archmage.), merely mediocre (Such as 2016's La La Land, featuring Emma Stone as a wannabe actress and Ryan Gosling as a smug piano-playing turnip.), or so fundamentally awful that they make you feel unbridled rage (Such as 2007's Taking Five, featuring two actresses that no one cares about playing utter psychopaths, and a boy band you've never heard of playing a boy band with no charisma that everyone loves for some reason.). This... cinematic thing, on the other hand, defies comprehension.

That thing is, of course, Spider-Man: Homecoming. A film which everyone else seems to like, but that makes me frustrated and angry beyond any reasonable measure.

It should have worked, the key word being should, but the film made me cringe from how terrible the end result was. Or, at least, the parts I saw. You see, I managed to endure the mental anguish of the film's first act. However, I eventually reached my breaking point; I couldn't endure any more of this abomination, and so I quietly walked out of the theater in a state of utter mental disgust. Unlike my normal reviews, where I summarize the film with a rating score, I won't do that. All I can say is... NO.

Verdict: Don't see this film. Don't let your friends or family see it, either.

In other news, how's everyone?

If everybody else loves it and you don't, perhaps you have the bad opinion. It was a great movie.

Oh the irony...

Erm... I don't wish to seem impolite, but would you care to explain the "irony"?

Sounds like you've got some expired beef that needs to be tossed out.

[The Supreme Magnificent High Swaglord]

And why exactly would you blame me?

Why not?

From the information available, it seems as if you're blaming an innocent (i.e. Me) for an offense he had nothing to do with. It seems a tad unethical.

I don't get it. I don't have expired beef. Are you speaking figuratively?

kannap hates glare, you know the needs of the many vs the needs of the few and all that.

Let's just say, Kan-chan is being very hypocritical with that statement. (Examples of things they don't like/hate, but almost everyone else loves is, but not limited to: Legend of Korra, TNG Era Star Trek, most cartoons made post-2010, pretty much all anime, etc...)

[New haven america]

and eggo waffles too,

Yeah, that's one of the few things on that list that I actually eat. They're not as good as real waffles, but they're just soooooo much less messy to make.

They take less time to make too.

But if I had the option, real waffles all the way.

Well, there's no accounting for taste.

[Ardrentt]

...

So anyone watched that new Edgar Wright movie recently, going to try and see it soon myself.

I have too little attachment to pop culture help me. D:

as much as i love patrick stewart, seriously i would pay to hear him read the phone book.

if it doesnt have a bridge without seatbelts, and the ever expanding waistline of william shatner, it just isnt star trek.

sorry
