... just to say the same old shit about their opinion on Burton or GLAAD? It seems like 95% of the posts on this board right now are "Here's my take on the Burton thing", with the text consisting of "Look, guys, Burton is a good filmmaker, let's go easy on him" or "Fuck Tim Burton, Apes sucked!". And then a bunch of responses to whatever points the person tries to make, which usually boil down to "Fuck Tim Burton, Apes sucked and you suck!" or "Look, guy, Burton is a good filmmaker, you should go easy on him. PS: You suck." Glaad is a little more passe now, but it made the last board the same way. And, I'm not saying the conversation should cease ... since this is a board to discuss, primarily, the goings on in the World D'Askew, obviously the latest feud will be the big topic (until the Jay and Silent Bob finally do strike back), but why not just keep one massive thread going rather than have a thousand little ones to scroll through? It seems like it would be easier all around. Or, even better, don't post until you have something new to say. [if you absolutely have to, just respond to one that's been done and put, "Yeah, wellsaid, fucking A, *NT*" or something in the subject line.
That said, fuck Tim Burton, Apes sucked.
