Sci-Fi HoF...Hall of Fame

I think that if we keep this going we might actually catch up to the number of posts in the slasher hof

Oh God no, please don't restart anything here!

Though please continue in relation to the serious debate that you were having, that I don't mind. ... On a side note, The Thing looks to be the most discussed film out of all the nominations. It has already been brought up like 3 times, pretty much every time a new person have watched it. That's crazy, but great with some discussion of course!

Well I feel that when someone makes a statement that is unpopular with the rest of a group, i.e. I wasn't impressed with The Thing... a discussion gets started. If someone just says oh I liked this and that... the others will just be like yeah me too or just give +rep.

I love a good discussion! Obviously I joked back there, but I'm always up for discussing opinions and what not. It isn't always easy having an unpopular opinion, just look at GB a few pages back, going up against three others who wasn't sharing her opinion... It isn't easy, but if everybody can keep a fair tone it leads to a great debate.

If I hadn't been joking I could've easily discussed your opinions on The Thing with you, and so on, I just feel like I have discussed that movie so much by now I'm running tired on the it all. But don't be afraid to ask questions... Hiding in the dark or covering under a false or fragmented opinion shouldn't be needed, but again, it isn't always easy defending your own opinion... I respect everybody who post their honest opinion on something, even if they don't discuss it further than that.

Sometimes I let my frustrations or own opinion take over in a discussion, and I feel guilty for it afterwards, but that can happen to anybody and that is also expected to happen in any discussion; nobody's perfect after all...

But please keep sharing opinions! Or else this thread would be boring as hell!

Yeah obviously it gets boring to discuss the same thing over and over again... it would be nice if we could all watch the movies at the same pace and in the same order so we could discuss them one at a time, but that's not really feasible.

So here's a question that doesn't need questioning: Maybe I just don't watch enough zombie movies, but why would the hand rip off the guy's head when there's a different (and much more vulnerable) body part much closer to the ground?

Maybe the head he was referring to isn't as far from the ground as you think He wasn't very specific, so it's a bit ambiguous...

Depends on the shock factor or visual presentation I guess. That "other body part" would be cringeworthy to watch, but a spray of blood going straight up in the air with the person running around like a headless chicken is always fun!

I did think about it for a second though, but ended up thinking it was too wierd.

Why do you always roll your eyes? Is there a fly constantly circling your head or something?

But a zombie hand wouldn't be able to rip someone's head off... right? it's obviously so unrealistic

Think of a zombie movie like a hotdog. It doesn't matter how much crap goes into a hotdog, people will still eat them.

How small of you. You don't see me insulting every film noir ever made.

Swan, you didn't follow the line of the joke. Let me explain, the funny thing is zombies might rip off a hand or a head cause there zombies and don't think, that's what someone more or less wrote. So to seqway off that notion, a zombie movie is like hotdog, hotdogs are full of crappy mystery mean, yet people don't want to know what's in a hotdog they just want to eat it. See the funny part is people will still eat them. Eat them...zombies...get it?

Clever one, Citizen.

Anyway, my bad. I think it's small of anyone to belittle any genre, but in this case, I guess you were joking and I mistook you. Sorry about that.

I was making fun of zombie movies BUT only the fictitious ones that we were joking about, "the ones where zombies can't decide to rip off a hand or a head." I was just going with the flow of the thread, no worries.

I should have just said "but the hot dog tastes so good."

Nope. No flies.

Why? Does it bother you?

I shrug a lot too.

I think we all need to smile a little more.
