Vaderbait1 1 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I knew this wouldn't be political, because if it even hinted of mentioning a politician, we'd all be banned pre-emptively to stop us from engaging in an adult conversation.

Koray Savas 2,095 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Be reasonable Mark, Iron Man is not a flat-out 0 score. It at least fits in terms of the kind of person Tony Stark is. The movie is hardly about Iron Man, he's only in the suit for 2 scenes. I recall you saying there was no theme, but that's just it, there doesn't need to be one in this film. For the sequel though, I hope there is one, or at least an attempt on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,017 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Of course, this is where the psychological stuff comes into play. I may have posted that first statement to hide the fact that you were discreetly posting a political link under the guise of soundtrack reviews. However: that does not explain my most recent post. It could be a lie: would I be dumb enough to explicitly say my true thoughts ( do not answer this question)? Or, could it be a paradoxical post that states my thoughts by acknowledging them, yet contradicting them at the same time? Like the number of licks it may take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop, the world may never know....Addendum: Of course, whatever the outcome was... this thread will probably be locked.

Vaderbait1 1 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Well folks, we've officially been sold out by virtually every organization that produces some kind of news.Not only did the media sell their soul for a good story or new leadership, but now we can't even read about music without a certain agenda being shoved down our throats. Is nothing sacred anymore?On top of that, I saw yesterday that Pink Floyd did some song for the Last Mimzy? My God, is EVERYONE selling out?

Is nothing sacred anymore?All that's different about this election is the Internet and the greater variety of news media (a trend that began in 2004, e.g. Howard Dean's online campaign). More people are getting their opinions out there. So Clemmenson has an agenda. He's just one man; it's not like he represents a major news outlet.

I was saying that I can't even go to a music website without being inundated with an agenda. "Is nothing sacred?" is an expression in America that doesn't necessarily mean the subject IS sacred, but that it's ridiculous for this subject to conduct itself a certain way.
