Lets nip this in the bud.
Yes, it was just a movie. Yes ricers can go fast.
If you want to set yourself up as the defender of all that Hollywood
produces, go for it.
For the record, I don't like the 'unbelievable' parts of ANY movie.
Unless its a total fantasy, like 'Lord of the Rings' or something, I
prefer movies that pretend to portray something that 'could' happen to
do so in a realistic way. Is this a crime? Or the sign of a
discriminating mind. Just because the rest of America is satisfied with
peter pan fantasy physics what the heck has that got to do with me? Our
brains are SUPPOSED to discern reality. That is its healthy function.
People are lost in fantasy. No wonder reality is going to hell.
If expressing my opinion is 'bashing' then this country is in trouble.
Are we going to have laws protecting hour and a half long commercials
like FATF from 'hate speech' now? No, of course not. We should all be
honest. I was.
Unbelievable.
So you are saying I'm not open minded because I don't "agree that it is
impressive what they can do with them". But I never said that REAL
Hondas etc couldn't go fast or weren't impressivie. My point was that
the movie did not reflect 'what they can do with them'. It was from
some 11 years olds wet dream fantasy but pretended to be a serious movie
for adults.
It was stupid. It was not entertaining.
Just my opinion. Get over it.
If you have an opinion about the movie that differs, no problem. But
why the hell are you screwing around having an opinion about my
opinion? Trying to convince yourself of something? Ever heard of
'boundary problems'?
