I laughed at the joke. But I appreciate sellew defending my honor.

Re: Defend your most controversial film opinion.

"Disinterested" and "uninterested" are held by modern usage experts to represent a useful distinction worth maintaining.

Lexicographers, by comparison--and I include the venerable OED--are and always have been whores who suck dick for a dollar behind the Piggly Wiggly.

I tend to side more with the modern usage-rs than lexicographers, so I appreciate being made aware of the preferred distinction.

"Irregardless" and the dilution of "literally" will happen over my dead body, however.

Blade Runner, to me, has always had more style than substance, but without the action that something like Akira has. Harrison Ford just sounds bored, and while that probably is the right way to play the character it's not fun to watch.

I've never been a fan of Blade Runner but I like Rocky 3 which was released the same year so, what do I know?

Re: Defend your most controversial film opinion.

I'm waiting for someone to defend Transformers, Adam Sandler, M. Night Shyamalan, Damon Lindelof, Episode 1, and the Wayans.

C'mon - which bozo is gonna say they're underrated?

For Transformers, that'd be Vapes, he already said something about Dark of the Moon but not in-depth.

I enjoyed them as summer blockbusters, even able to look past the occasional logic holes, and enjoyed that the third one didn't have a ten minute, "Let's have Sam's parents embarrass him," scene. I still need to watch the third one at home sometime; the Blu-Ray release was overpriced and under-special-featured so I still haven't picked it up, and I'll admit that it was hard to tell what was going on because a lot of the robots were more monochrome. "So-and-so died? When did that happen? Oh, in an opening scene while it was still somewhat light out at the drive-in."

So... I enjoyed them but as you can tell from the above rambling, I'm not the one to defend them, exactly.

Boter, formerly of TF.N as Boter and DarthArjuna. I like making movies and playing games, in one order or another.
