Don’t let it get you down. Some folks believe that being a fan and supporting the show means never saying anything critical (much less negative). They mean well, even if their actions are misguided.


So basically, you’re here to be the devil’s advocate?  Is that what you’re saying?

Yes, asking them to spend more money to produce something makes us all misguided.

Poor us.


I agree with Zabadu. Who are you to come in here and call us misguided? I’ll give my constructive criticism when I feel it’s needed, thank you very much.

As a matter of fact, I have. Right when SCCTM was announced. I was skeptical, same as a lot of people. I didn’t think the MST3K version could be topped. But after watching the CT version I was convinced, and I have a lot more faith in the Titans now. So it’s not like I think "supporting the show means never saying anything critical." I’m a true fan. I get skeptical from time to time. But I like to keep an open mind about things.

Next time, try to get to know us better before you start slamming us, because this time you really spoke out of turn.


  here here.  Which is why I reminded mr. moor to mind his manners.  After all, it doesn’t hurt to say "please" or give a how do you do before slamming every one….

I think this is the farthest we’ve all come to bashing someone who come on out to our turf and be sellin’ out our people!

 

You know what? I spent three hours on a single boss last night and we didn’t even kill him. Then I wake up to a dead rat, who I then had to take out a baggie that was set on the deck and bury it. My day has been shit. So I’m going to be mean here.

Moor, GTFO if you don’t like it. Quit crying because you think your intelligence and maturity was insulted, because it wasn’t. The five of them all had decided , "Hey, I don’t like this, let’s just block it." But now that you’ve managed to talk yourself into a corner with us fans ON THE INTERNET, I’m assuming you wouldn’t even be able to tell if something insulted your maturity because you clearly have none.

So STFU, GTFO and go cry on the Rifftrax forums. They’ll troll you to hell and back.

You’ve pissed me off, and this whole thread has pissed me off over a damn censor. So call me out if I’m being harsh, I don’t care.

 

NERD RAGE.

Please,

Cinematic Titanic is just a pathetic ripoff of that one show with the person and the two puppets and the movies.

You know, The CBS Children’s Film Festival!

Now *there* was a show that wasn’t afraid to show a little full frontal nudity!

Signed,

How do you do

Are we done fighting yet, guys?  Last year was so nice and a record for going without flame wars.

Bblackmoor’s tone of literary voice was rude, but that doesn’t mean we have to sink to his level.  I mean, look at how eloquently Josh defended Cinema Titan’s decisions.  They certainly don’t need us nutters to do it for them.  Sure, we felt like we got attacked where it hurts, but we *can* let the subject drop now that all sides have expressed their opinions.

Of course, nobody needs me to step in either.  So I’m going to try to stay out of this thread now that the argument has stopped being new and interesting.

Well said, E.

This entire topic is without merit. Obviously some of us here have different levels of sensitivity than others do. But this was what the Titans chose to do, whatever their reasons and intentions might have been, and who are we to argue one way or the other? In the end, it was still their decision and while we ourselves may have done things a bit differently, this is how they decided to deal with it. So the book is closed. You may not like it, but there’s no going back and changing it now. I for one can be happy enough with the mere fact that we fans have another episode in our hands. I think it would be best for us all to be thankful for that.

With that said I conclude my thoughts on this topic and suggest we all abandon this heated debate and allow this sad thread to rest in peace.

E-Fish, honey, you know I love you, but some things are worth fighting over, and unfettered access to unexpurgated full frontal nudity is one of them.

One last note from me on this topic.  What inflamed me was AFTER J. Elvis posted his reasonings, blackmoor felt it necessary to come in and slam the fans.  It was uncalled for.  Not only are these the nicest group of people, but truly care about the Titans and their project.  To call the group as a whole "misguided" because we do not agree with his point was not only wrong, it was rude.

So, I responded.

To boob or not to boob, that is the question of this thread.

Well, I’ve finally seen it.  Can’t believe what a big deal this has been made out to be.  It’s sparked quite a debate, it’s taken me a while but I’ve been through through each post here (I decided not to touch this thread until I saw the movie).

Personally, I like the visual gags and don’t really see it as censorship.  I guess it is, but the funny makes me forget that.  I would have been fine without it.  Jeez, its just just boobs, see them every day.  Most kids have seen them too.  Kids know more than you think, no matter how hard a parent tries to keep them innocent.  I remember when I used to sneak my mom’s library books as a girl.  Those Harlequin romances, I was probably about 9 or 10 when I started reading them.  But that didn’t turn me into a raging slut.  Quite the opposite.

Then there’s Judy Blume.  Forever was quite an eye opener.

FINALLY got my disc yesterday and saw it:

The blimp? eh.  sight gag.  liked it the SECOND time more than the first becasue I think there was a riff in there that the TITANS found it annoying……………..  And it didn’t seem like the boobs were all that THERE!  I thought from the brouhaha it was going to be akin to the gratuitous boob shot you get in AIRPLANE!  –you know just a huge shot of breasticulars filling hte screen.  But I like the sight gags and hope they continue to explore that aspect.

The one thing I did find oddly disturbing was the itty bitty bit of Trace bashing.  Like there was discourse among the riffers.  When Trace stops the film for the Frankenstein discourse…..yeah it was funny about the chair but there was some line in there that was something like "as if" to his riff being funny…..forgive me for not having it memorized at this point.  And I am not being an overly sensitive Trace fan girl.  I just like it better when its US against the movie.

As for the OTHER thread and the closest we got to an argument:  I was just not appreciative of the way mr. moor came in loaded for bear.  and the comment  "I would just rather send this directly to the Titans themselves " so as to avoid us fan  peeps rubbed me the wrong way.  I was just trying to remind him to mind his manners, HIS opinion is no better no worse than ours and to be a bit more respectful.  I’m sorry if I came across argumentative.

I didn’t think you sounded argumentative at all, Num.  You said exactly what needed to be said!

You are forgiven. As I said, I understand that your intentions are good. The apology is definitely appreciated, though.

No joke.  He has been doing that a lot.  But it doesn’t do you any good when someone reads the message before you have time to "censor" it.
