You know, even if Adam DID still come back here...it's not right attacking what he likes. Unless, of course, your a big fan of vengeance. But one of the big problems with vengeance is that it don't make you much better then the other guy.
How's my firefly speak? Good? Bad? Fee-oo?
...It's fee-oo isn't it?

Okay! So..... okay I lost. The movie was a wide release and somewhat of a success. I swore I'd drink some salad dressing and I did just that. I would have come back and replied sooner but I couldn't get to the board for a while after the movie came out for whatever reason.
Anyway I documented the event with a little video. Enjoy:
So yeah now that that's out of the way let me deal with a few more of you idiots:
Quote:Debating "shine" is like debating quality. You can bitch all you want but the only thing that talks is numbers. Serenitiy's box office pull doesn't even compare to how Episode III, in all it's faults, did.
Let's see. The latest Star Wars movies sucked. They did well money wise but they were truly a waste of time. Serenity can only hope to do as well financially but I will bet a cask of salad dressing down my throat that the quality of the Serenity movie will far outshine the Star Wars prequel suck fest.
Quote:I said a bottle. 250ml is hardly "mass quantities". It just gave me about an hour of a feeling like I just threw up.
I sincerely hope you love salad dressing dear because you will be consuming mass quantities of the stuff.
Quote:*burp*
Have you fulfilled your promise? Is there a video? I'm not trying to berate you or say "I told you so" (although I kinda just did. Sorry), I'm just curious to find out whether you had the integrity or not.
Quote:I wasn't looking for people who agreed with me. I was trying to tell the fans to shut up so... I came to this fansite. Jeez...
You may have noticed that this is a FAN site -
where you will find mostly people who enjoyed the film. Good luck in finding many who agree with you.

Episode 3 is Star Wars. A huge franchise with a huge budget. It's on everything from toys to cups to happy meals. The movie could have been complete and utter crap (I found it amusing) and it still would've been a box office hit.
Funny thing about that last part...you where 25 when you came here lol. I am personally amazed that you've remembered to keep coming back for two...three straight years. Interesting bit of dedication, impressive for a troll.
Also, apologies for the fans who overreacted. (looks at the Sailormoon bashers, among other people). I can assure you we, like all groups of people, are not all like that ;). But next time you come to board, it's not wise to insult it's main population. In fact, it is quite idiotic. Still, you where man enough to admit you where wrong, AND you held up your end of the bet. Although it might have been easier if you just googled Serenity movie.
Reminds me, did you ever see it? The DVD sales topped 2 million awhile ago, you know. I admit, wasn't as good as the series, but it was still a kick ass movie in my opinion, and a satisfying ending...or continuation of this great franchise.

Quote:That was pretty much my point. It's essentially impossible to compare the quality of one to the other, as was insinuated earlier in this thread. I myself am a Star Wars fan and have enjoyed the prquest despite their flaws. ( http://adamrulz.com/jj/ ...)

Quote:Well I was hardly going out of my way to look for it past the first few days. What I'd done is put the option to be e-mailed of replies. The thread quickly died but once moved to this troll forum it was accessible again. Ironically it's only for having been moved here that people see it at all otherwise it would just be bumped off the first page and forgotten like so many others. Eventually the e-mail notifies stopped but I would occasionally see people who clicked through to my site through my logs which reminded me. Once the salad dressing challenge was made though I had to go otu and seek the thread in order to settle things nice and proper.

Quote:Well yes and no. Though I had my doubts about the news I didn't imagine it was just made up. I just never expected it would have te scope that it did given the failed franchise it came from. I mean... imagine an "Earth 2" movie hitting theatres. Such a concept would be ridiculous!
Although it might have been easier if you just googled Serenity movie.
Quote:Fo' shizzle. My brother saw the movie and then got the DVDs. I reluctantly watched a few episodes because I wanted to afirm the opinion I had formed after watching 10 minutes once and hating the show. Well... as it would turn out the series is really good and I thoroughly enjoyed what I saw of it. I then watched the movie which was great as well... -_-

Adam,
It seems that you have really grown since your first post. I've noticed that you've dropped the cursing to the bare minimum; you've held up your end of the agreement, which I doubt that I would have done; and you've chosen to base your likes/dislikes of the series based upon watching it, and not its being cancelled.
Star Wars, the Prequels, were not so good, however. They banked on Flashy visuals and prior success to win them money. The third however, did make up for it with acting that was better than most films of the type, and a plot/script that was well written and translated well to the silver screen. And Natalie Portman is pretty.
What did you think of V for Vendetta?
If anyone gets nosy...Shoot em.
Shoot em sir?
Politely.

I did a new years resolution to stop swearing... for new years ... 2004. So that explains that. I also generally in the past 5 years or so have lost interest in Internet fighting. Actually for the most part I was done with all that anna when I made this post but I just couldn't resist...
Thought V for Vendetta was a pretty awesome flick.

Thanks for the laugh, aDam. The video was hilarious. I admire your constitution; I'm not sure i'd have been able to keep the salad dressing from coming back up.

I agree with Adam re: Firefly...imho, this show is awful. The acting is over-the-top corny and the one-liners are predictable and overused. I have the full box set + the movie and really wish I'd have saved my $$$.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so please don't bash me for disagreeing with the majority on this forum, but there are far better shows to watch (and as nothing's perfect, these shows have their 'lows' too):
1. Doctor Who 2005, 2006, ...
2. Battlestar Galactica
...and I disagree with Adam's dig at Farscape - I love that show.

Go sit over in the corner with the Farscape fans and learn about an exercise in futility. Maybe you can band together and try to get your crap show that everyone hates back on the air. Nothing like wasting a lot of time to keep a geek busy.
People whine and bitch about "good shows getting canned". Well you know what? Your show sucks. Firefly licks cotton balls. Birds of Prey is inexcusably bad. No one watches your shows because they are no good. WB will not pick up Firefly. UPN will not pick up either. These shows are not good and they failed because often the weeding process of canceling new shows that do poorly really works.
I reiterate. Shut up.
Sincerely,
aDam
I think that after watching the video of our dear adam drinking salad dressing we can all pretty much see what kind of person he is.
1- the video seems to be shot in what looks like a basement. Obviously he lives down there alone and plans his silly little e-mails so that he can actually talk to REAL PEOPLE. i bet he still lives with his mum as well.
2- he resides with a cat and some fish. obviously dear old adam is not a people person and as such has to seek solace with animals because they are unable to reply to his endless supply of bullshit. i bet if the cat could talk it would tell him to shove his head up his arse and quit being the self obsessed loser he so clearly is.
3- he was wearing a ludicrous hat that pretty much sums up the feeling that he is a sad little loser living in his mums basement.
it basically seems that adam got everything wrong.
1- 'your show sucks!'
No it doesnt
2- 'there wont be a movie!'
yes there will
3- 'the movie wont be released nationwide!'
yes it will
4- 'it wont be a success!'
yes it will
5- 'i like boys and dressing up in skirts!'
so true
at the end of the day adam your a poor excuse for a human being and you really need a good kicking. its sad that you just posted here to raise attention. its obvious that you are unable to form friendships with other people and in your anger you've resorted to throwing all of your toys out of your pram and abusing others with a quite pathetic attempt at providing a voice of reason.
somewhere out there are a group of men in white coats looking for the test subject who has just escaped from the 'turn a man into a dickhead with a small cock' programme. somebody had better tell them where you live shitbreak.
grow up and get some balls. And some friends.
AND A LIFE
