And if BDA was Admin and not just 'one of us', I'm sure people would care and actually listen to his orders and not just roll our eyes at his hissy fits.

Meh, I don't think it's too much to ask for people to ensure their pictures/videos/gifs actually work before posting them.

I still have no idea what that's from and the only part I know is All Your Base Belong To Us, and that's only cause a friend of mine in high school used it CONSTANTLY.

Re: Defend your most controversial film opinion.
Well, if my comments were opinions on film, that would be the case. Stating that BDA is not Admin, therefore people don't have to listen to him give orders is the truth*. It is also why I like to wind him up sometimes but it's all in good fun and BDA has taken it as such 
*even if he is right

Classic Vapes.
Episode 1 is still bad even if it isn't a star wars movie. I wanna see your reasoning here.

Funny, of the three prequels I'd say that Ep1 *feels* the most like a Star Wars movie.

Re: Defend your most controversial film opinion.
Firstly, let me requalify my statement. "Pound for Pound," means based on greatness vs output. Charon has made 6 films. Six. They were all awesome in varying degree (I go to bat quite often for Great Expectations). No one is discrediting Scorcesse's skill nor his importance to the time. But amongst Scorcesse's better films are his not so great films, which Cuaron has yet to make.
Secondly, the straw man of "Cuaron built on the shoulders of..." Is equally applicable to Scorcesse and filmmaker like Goddard and Truffaut for which he famously gives credit to. I'm not here to discuss his place in history. Scorsese still makes films during the time Cuaron does, hence the comparison.
Thirdly, I would argue that DeNiro could have given an equally good performance with a few other directors. Directors can help guide performances, but they are not solely responsible for them.

Re: Defend your most controversial film opinion.
I just think it's more than a bit premature to make that kind of statement, Scorcese has 20 years of movies on Cuaron, and he's still had some really good ones the last decade. If in 20 years Cuaron has still had nothing but hits, then we can talk, but statistically speaking he's probably going to have some bad movies down the line, it's just what happens. It's just way too early to make this kind of comparison one way or the other.
