Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman are the mob bosses, Hartnett befriends his neighbor Lucy Liu along the way. Hartnett has some mental thing where he is incapable of worry. I think the fact that this movie was one of the few that got me with its plot twist (figured it out just seconds before the reveal and that was by accident because my friend said that kid looks like Hartnett) so I have liked it ever since. Revenge movie with a plot twist that caught me way of guard. Hooked. [/quote]
Who are Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman? [/quote]
Not sure if srs???[/quote]
Exactly. You tell me if anybody who saw the movie would forget that Kingsley and Freeman were in it… and he spoilered the fuck out of the plot after I said he hadn’t seen it. [/quote]
Maybe but I have seen him say that he hasn’t seen a particular movie before. Plus if he would of had to look up spoilers wouldn’t Freeman and Kingsley’s names have come up since that played as prominent of a role as Willis and Liu? [/quote]
My point is that any casual movie fan would know who Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman are, regardless of the movie, let alone a self-described critic who openly belittles anybody willing to read his reviews. Don’t worry about it. The guy’s been called out before for plagiarizing somebody else’s article on the Die Hard franchise and admitted to it.
If you want his opinion, go for it. I’m done. Truth will out.[/quote]
Of course I know who they both are as actors, but my point is that I didn’t know Morgan Freeman regarding the movie. I forgot that he was a character, specifically, in Lucy Number Slevin.
I don’t belittle people that read my reviews, if someone agrees with my reviews then I will talk to them about the common positives of our opinions on the film and we can each talk about the finer points of what we liked or didn’t like. If someone disagrees with my review then I will debate them on the differences in our opinions on the film in an attempt for me to convince them or for them to convince me of something that the other party has an opposing perspective on. I’ve been brought around many a time when faced with an explanation by another person as to the details of a film/character/scene. Off the top of my head I remember a user here persuading me that the villain from Unbreakable was a deeper and more impressive villain than I had given him credit for at the time. I don’t try to belittle anyone, I just voice my side and expect the other person to voice theirs so that we may have some substantial ground for persuasion and informative explanation, if anyone in particular had spouted that I was too mindlessly confrontational with no rhyme or reason behind my thoughts then I would apologise and come from a new direction with my explanations.
I had used many of the points in a cracked article on Die Hard to explain why Die Hard is so intriguing as a franchise, and indeed perhaps the more important part is that I had admitted to it, without any intent to deny that I had used the information from the article to mould my opinion of Die Hard, because it was the most recently relevant thing that I had read up about on the subject and there were bits and pieces that I felt were important to mention. It was perhaps silly of me to rely so heavily on those particular points and not think back to some that may be far more applicable when concerning it as a franchise covering both the good and bad of the spectrum and why that is, and had I attempted to deny my use of the article then you may have a point, but I didn’t, and you don’t.
Above is the article in question.
I’m not sure why you’re particularly trying to find a way to gun me down here, as I don’t remember us having much of a disagreement (or even a conversation) on anything since our small chinwag on Mission Impossible 4, if you’d like to explain to me why you’re being such an insufferable cunt, I’d be very grateful.
