In the light you're limited to the reality but in the darkness the possibilities are endless. Does that make sense?
May. 25, 2016  4:41 PM
 
Sure, and I always find that light actually makes you close your eyes while darkness makes them open wide.

I had to stay home with the worlds worst migraine so I'm about as in the dark as you can be.

Yes, because we view darkness as blankness and it leaves room for imagination. I wonder what it is like to witness complete emptiness like in a black hole, it's mind boggling (heh) that the human mind can't imagine it, we usually just imagine endless black or white, but that's not emptiness, there is still color.

Damn really ? I heard yesterday that he was hospitalized but they didn't talked much about it...

Well, RIP Muhammad Ali...

a death of a legend. It's hard to believe that so many legends are leaving the left and right. looks like it's our job to surpass the previous generation

I just can't believe it.

I disliked the Ghostbusters 3 trailer a few months ago, (not because I'm sexist, or misogynistic, but because I don't like any of the actresses, and because I genuinely think that it is a bad idea to reboot it), anyway, I went on my Google+ account for some reason today, re-watched the Ghostbusters trailer, and I realised that my thumb down magically turned into a thumb up.

I know that Sony deleted thousands and thousands of negative comments that were apparently misogynistic (while in fact, most of them are from fans that are disappointed by the poor quality of the trailer/movie), but now, they're turning dislikes into likes, without our consent ?

I'm genuinely shocked.

Who's gonna bet Sony will blame GB reboots possible bad reception on sexism? Even though it's not the recasting into new female GBs I hate, it's the stupid cringy humour, bad effects and obnoxious characters, which the trailer seems to show anyway.

Also is Sony REALLY going so low as to out right silence criticism? Seriously!

This likely isn't technically possible, and more likely that 1) it's a bug, or 2) you clicked the wrong button by mistake. In any case, the responsibility of this happening would go to Google, not Sony.

We'll see when it comes out. Not interested in this movie but have seen a ton of very sexist anger surrounding it. Impossible to argue that it's a non-factor in how the movie is being perceived.

I think a good amount of people hate it because the comedy, effects and tone is god awful.

Sure. I didn't say otherwise. I said there is a ton of sexist hate being posted about this movie all over the web, which is inarguably true.

If only those didn't exist, it makes us criticisers look terrible.

But I probably should drop this now.

Same with Star War episode 7 because of the mixed cast, that turned out pretty well. If you don't want to see the movie, don't see it. Sony will understand Tongue_out

Sony apparently try deleting any negative comments on it's Youtube GB trailer video. Star Wars TFU was great, people came to see it, it had a female protagonist and I don't remember people caring all that much about it.

Okay okay, I know I get too carried away...

Of course, there's some sexist assholes out there, but they're not the majority. Sony's only argument for the whole criticism was that EVERYBODY who disliked the trailer are misogynistic.

Star Wars 7 had a female as the main character, but weirdly, nobody really cared. Why ? Because the movie was actually good, and the trailer looked decent.

Maybe our concern is more focused on the actual movie than the actors' gender, don't you think ?

I saw the Ghostbusters 3 trailer and it looked kinda stupid. Now, I'm not hating the trailer because of the women re-casts (in fact, I loved movies like Star Wars: The Force Awakens and that had a female protagonist), I dislike the trailer because the comedy was on par with Dane Cook's, the effects look a little dated (although okay at times) and it was just lacking of action.

Yeah, I'm sure this movie could turn out well when I bring myself to see it but for now, I dunno.

Now I wanna bring up apparent sexism towards this trailer. Now people like James Rolfe have been getting a lot of flak from Sony and of course SJWs because they accuse him of sexism when in fact, he was calm about it and only hated the trailer because it looked silly. Why is it that SJWs immediately assume people hate the trailer for the female casting when the majority hated it for the bad humour in the trailer (which is suppose to get you excited for the movie)? Yes, I'm sure there may have been a few people who were sexist and that is horrible but the majority hated it for the comedy and let's think about this... what if there were women who hated the trailer? Does that make them horrible people?! Nooooo... so can the SJWs quit looking at the minority and stop pointing fingers)
