Transsexuality, which you see a ton of in furry fandom -- people talking about wearing special suits that fuse to their bodies and turn them into a sexy fox or something

I think Avatar gets a bad rap, I mean the aliens aren't even furry, they're just blue. It's really no worse than a random episode of Star Trek were Kirk scores with a green alien babe.

It's just fun to troll people when they get excited over a gay movie.

Personally, I chose dysmorphilia since it makes the most sense from what fans seem to be saying.  It sounds like they just find Navi, faces specifically I think, to be super exotic or whatever.  I mean it's not like they're pointing at some Avatar fan-porn and saying "Why what a nice strong dick there, and it looks like they really know how to use it" like Herc, it just sounds like more of an aesthetic thing than sexual.

I'll tell you one thing, it sure as fuck wouldn't be the last fucking hour of James fucking Cameron's Aliens, that's for fucking sure.  That wouldn't even be in my top twenty.

So you like the last hour of Alien better than all of those movies?

Seriously?

EDIT: And considering you also think King Kong is one of the best movies of all time, I seriously, seriously doubt that you've seen half of the movies I listed or even know what they're about.  No fair checking Wikipedia, btw.

He's just trying to troll somebody into getting a big ass whoop-can opened up on him for some petty shit so that he can go down in flames.  Basically he's trying to get banned I think.  I mean nobody actually thinks "OMGOSH this hour of cinema is like AsS-to-ASS aauugghhhh!" and he knows that and wants to derail a thread, designed around a blue bitch's fetishistic fanbase, to be about an hour of ass-to-ass naughtiness.  So that we remember it forever.

You're just stating a bunch of nonsense as though it's obvious what your point should be.
Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?
Let's think about this for a minute. In a thread about a James Cameron movie, I mention that another James Cameron film is one of my favorite films of all time.
On what strange planet is this trolling, baiting or derailing anything?
If in a thread about 9/11 you mention that Boston is your favorite city, do you think anybody would give a fuck?

I don't see why you feel the need to do this. You're letting a ton of personal attacks fly for no reason other than that I made a comment about some movie I happen to love.

I mean, why? You mention The Seven Samurai. Would it make you feel better if I told you that I watched and absolutely loved just about every Kurosawa movie when I was growing up, as well as some of Toshiro Mifune's other stuff, like the Mushashi Miyamoto trilogy? Should I point you to posts I've made on this very forum where I've said that The Godfather is my favorite film of all time? While the last half of Aliens might be my favorite single hour of cinema, I'd be the first to tell you that the first half of that film is a flawed mess.

Do you get some kind of personal satisfaction out of attacking me? Do you feel more intelligent belittling someone for liking a very well-reviewed, very popular and very influential movie?

I just don't see the point to all this.

The Musashi Miyamoto trilogy sucks, dude.  It's the Japanese equivalent of a lower-tier Cecil B. DeMille epic.
