Gemmill 34756 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Not dirty enough. I'm sure I remember skim reading a Jilly Cooper book as a young teen and her describing some lass's fanny as "sodden". Even to a 13 year old, it was jarring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5941 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Comics are about as cool as pinball tbh. If you live in a loft conversion in manhattan you could probably get away with it. When you read them in your tartan pyjama bottoms, not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even to a 13 year old, it was jarring. God. I'd expect "Sodden" to accompany "matted" and "drowned", none of those are inspiring. Mind it isn't as bad as some of the reported quotes from 50 Shades of Grey “Let me ask you something first. Do you want a regular vanilla relationship with no kinky fuckery at all?" My mouth drops open. "Kinky fuckery?" I squeak. "Kinky fuckery." "I can't believe you said that.' "Well, I did. Answer me," he says calmly. I flush. My inner goddess is down on bended knee with her hands clasped in supplication begging me. "I like your kinky fuckery," I whisper.” " I mean... jesus christ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're getting into that part of the day that you claim you don't care about being cool, but assert that everyone else's interest are definitely not cool.

Dr Gloom 19862 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Got to admit that I am tickled by the notion that reading comics, sorry "graphic novels", is a credible alternative to watching trash tv.

Were you a games workshop dork in your youth as well fish? Why wouldn't it be? and I played a bit when I was about 11/12, like a lot of lads I knew then. Didn't get into it very much and switching schools helped me realise there's more interesting things to get into. Like comics I get that Comics/Graphic Novels are geeky and a lot of them are associated with childishness and what not. But those I mentioned above are not the same as, say, X-Men. I wouldn't say that they're not geeky, but I would say that there's a great swathe of comics/graphic novels (which aren't the same thing) that shouldn't be read by kids... ever.

Ayatollah Hermione 12774 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The only reason comic movies are popular is because they've stripped away the decades of total fucking NONSENSE that makes up the majority of comic backstories and distilled them down to the big punchy fighty bits which can be a good laugh. It's about time they fucked off though all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14652 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Blade is the only decent movie from a comic strip. Does V for Vendetta count?....I dont think I've seen a decent one in over a decade tbh...maybe an age thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Can't say I read comics but I'm certainly a nerd by whatever standards the majority on this board operate by. That said, 'being cool' is a waste of a life. I actually believe you can reach a point where someone is so cool it's sad. Thus, cool and sad are two different points on a circular framework - and using that logic, I would then argue that I'm so sad, it's cool. It's not a great argument in truth...

The Fish 9027 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 fish - did you paint lead figures or were you the dungeon master? I did actually enjoy it more when I just painted the figures. I'm not sure, but are you trying to rib me for something I briefly did two decades ago? If you wanna go further back I used to run around the sand-dunes playing armies with a stick in my hand as I made machine gun noises with my mouth. I used to shit myself before I turned two yr old as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9027 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 And Garfield. Where the fuck have you been? Did your political career stutter? Dark Knight is good if you try and forget that this self-serious, gritty film is about a bloke in a bat outfit fighting an evil clown. and Inception is good until you realise it's ridiculous...

The Fish 9027 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) i hated the batman reboot films. especially when bale opened his mouth in the batsuit. excruciating I thought Batman Begins was good, Dark Knight was excellent, Dark Knight Rises was average, but that's as likely because the 3rd film was supposed to be the Trial of the Joker, rather than what we saw. The voices used by Bale and Hardy were atrocious. How can Keaton, Kilmer and Clooney all get a decent Batman voice sorted, but Bale can't? I've no idea what was going on with Hardy's voice though, I know that Bane is supposed to be a brilliant criminal, but that weird pseudo Ivy-League-Scholar affectation was just weird.
