Goddammit, I never bribe the right people. Next meeting we will recount and then we'll see BAD BOYS 2 victorious at last.

Well put, good sir. It's one thing if something is stupid. It's another if something is stupid and dull.

Sounds like you would love Prison Break! But don't take my word for it...

No, they're both one thing: stupid. Stupid is a bad thing.

I'm trying to figure out how someone with a Scott Pilgrim avatar can be such a dick.

So identifying a shitty movie for what it is makes one a dick? Getting a bit religious about this, aren't we?

Sorry, I just think that anyone who declares love for one piece of shit lacks conviction when calling out another. It means that your tastes are random.

I saw the first episode of season 3 at Comic-Con, and while it's certainly not quality television, it at least moves faster than anything in season 2.

However, anyone sick of magical healing/resurrections is gonna be PISSED. The entire premiere feels like Tim Kring just making shit up and throwing it at a wall to see if it'll stick. Some of it inevitably will, no matter how little sense it makes.

Armageddon's not a piece of shit. You're confused.

Just think, Greg: is there ever going to be a Criterion Heroes set?

I'm subscribing to this thread just to make sure I get this line of vitriol for the show every week.

Oh, joy.
I will watch it in hopes that it loses the angst completely. If it became just an excuse for people with superpowers beating each other up, I would be cool with that. Even if nobody is dead permanently, that would be fine, as lond as SOMETHING HAPPENS. It seemed like they too often found excuses to avoid using the powers. Also, IGNORE THE FANS. The fans of this show are fucking morons.
If it can't get better, there's always Chuck.

Heroes would be better if it was written by a kid with Down syndrome. You try to put it on the same level as 24 (excluding season 6), Terminator, and so on, and it doesn't work, because they're moving forward in a direction and entertaining along the way, even if the direction ain't the The Wire, it's still going forward. Heroes is fucking stalling. They spent 10 episodes telling the story happening in a day, and unlike 24 NOTHING HAPPENED.

The villain from season 1? De-powered by the end of it (after the most anti-climatic fight ever seen outside 2 bitches doing some hair-pulling on a prom night for wearing the same dress), spent the next season trying to get his powers back, and so came back to his status of season 1. Wow, that's just 1 character. the rest is just as bad. Let's avoid talking about Emo Petrelli and the waste of time that is his brother. Poor Pasdar.

Sorry, guys, but liking that movie is still retarded. I don't care how the vote went in your meeting.

edit:
My apologies to retards.
I clearly understand people NOT liking this movie, or stuff like Independence Day, which is the exact same thing as Armageddon, but you don't get why despite it being poorly scripted, it's still entertaining. And like that, you come out as an asshole here, Greg.

I've been there. I'll be there again.

But I never get the impression in these discussions that people are enjoying it on a Plan 9 From Outer Space level. They're not acknowledging what's wrong with it. They just think it's awesome, and I don't. And even if it were being appreciated on an ironic level, I've just never found bad filmmaking entertaining. If that's assholish, I'll live with it.

Greg, I think you're a cool dude and I don't even particularly like Armageddon, but you have repeatedly stated you own at least two Transformers movies. Let these people have their comet movie.

I don't. I own one. And not the Michael Bay one.
post #65 of 570
Armageddon's a horrible film with some cool 'splosions. Let's move on.

Heroes sucks.

I stand corrected. I remember you liking the Bay one, though.

And yeah, Heroes sucks. I really tried to like it in Season 1. But they made it so hard.

This we can all agree with, I think. Heroes is quite like a comic book. An X-Force book from about '94.
post #71 of 570
Actually, when I tried to watch Season One I thought it was just like the Spider-Man comic strip.

How many weeks have gone by and only this much has happened? Didn't I see them do/say this three times already?

Click.

Yup. I'm not a fan of Armageddon, but I liked it more than I hated it, despite it's immense flaws. And any animated Transformers movie is at the very least as bad as Armageddon, as it's a horrible cartoon nowadays, but I won't call you a fucking retard for liking it.

Now, to still like Heroes after 2 seasons of punishment, you HAVE to be a fucking retard.

If at least it was trying to be a Youngblood or Bloodstrike, we'd at least get gratuitous amount of muscles, boobs and gore.
post #74 of 570
I'll watch a few episodes to see if they learned their lesson. I doubt it though.
post #75 of 570
Definitely not watching this shit tonight. I actually enjoyed the first season in a guilty pleasure sort of way (even though they ripped off the ending of "Watchmen" somewhat, which really irked me). The season 1 finale, however, was an extreme letdown, as was the uneventful and boring second season.

I can't believe they are actually bringing back the worst character on the show, Nikki, this season. This show just continually goes in circles. The only consistently solid actor that they have on the show is Jack Coleman (HRG), but his acting prowess is not nearly enough to keep me watching.

Count me out, Tim Kring. Bring on "Lost."
post #76 of 570
Well, *I* like it on a Plan Nine level. And I do find it hilariously bad, not just dull.

...

Well, OK, it gets dull sometimes. Actually a lot. Wait, what was I saying?

Oh yeah: talking about how terrible this show is on this board is highly entertaining. That makes it worthwhile.

I give it another year and NBC pulls the plug...

Well since he's Spock now, that ain't about to happen.
post #81 of 570
Hi, I don't post on this thread often, and generally, have been very quiet on the subject of this show out of courtesy for those who do find enjoyment in it.

But OH MIGHTY FUCKING CHRIST ON A CRACKER THEY'RE RIPPING OFF THE FLY SO FUCKING BAD I HAVE A MIGRAINE.
post #82 of 570
I couldn't even make it past the first hour. But once they ripped off The 4400 (which ripped off everything else, but was at least entertaining) I turned it off. I think I'm done. Thanks for the laughs.
post #83 of 570
Didn't this premiere tonight or something? I dunno - I've never watched a single episode of the show, but I remember a lot of fall launch promos over the summer and I remember that one line from damn near EVERY promo - "They're villains, Claire." Seriously? I know a tv promo is a lot like a movie trailer in that you can't always expect the promo to sell what it actually is, but still - that line was just - to me, anyway - embrassingly bad. I'm not even sure why I popped into say that - saw the thread and it reminded me and I couldn't help but roll my eyes all over again as I heard the stupid thing in my head. Carry on!
post #84 of 570
so everyone is related?
post #85 of 570
Yeah, I'm done.

Holy shit, my brain hurts.
post #86 of 570
The whole Mohinder turning into the fly shit caused a laugh out loud moment. This show is shameless.

I love that Nathan seems to keep forgetting that he has kids and a wife.
post #87 of 570
Okay, you cannot all quit watching, because I love this thread too much for it to die. Flipping between this thread and TWoP is highly entertaining.
post #88 of 570
What's this Mohinder is turning into a fly shit? I'm not watching this but my curiosity about how bad this show can get is overwhelming.
post #89 of 570
Didn't watch, finally. This'll be my last post in the thread (I'll be watching the rage boil here during my Tuesday classes though). But I just wanted to say:

Didn't watch, life instantly a bit better. I suspect many of you should follow suit.

Yeah I jumped into this thread to see if I should bother with the third season (I wont be) but wtf with the Mohinder Fly thing? Is he pulling the full Cronenberg or what?
post #91 of 570
I don't know what I just saw, I really don't. That was insane, I mean seriously what the fuck. TIME TRAVELING POWERS ARE TOO POWERFUL TO HAVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN TWO CHARACTERS HAVE THEM!!!! This show doesn't even make sense anymore. It is officially too complicated to follow. And now everyone has powers? I thought part of the fun was that only a few special people have powers. And the worst hero returns and can now freeze shit, what? Sylar doesn't eat brains he just looks at your brain, how is that different from Peter really? Peter is stuck inside Veronica Mars's friend? What the hell? The best part is I officially no longer care about the answers to these questions. My soul actually left my body while I watched this mess. Goodbye heroes, we are breaking up.

Pretty much, except for the putting his penis in a jar thing. I happened to flip past, and caught the show just as it was ripping off a scene from The Fly pretty much wholesale. Mohinder is telling some chick that he feels refreshed and strong, and then he starts climbing up the wall, a la Goldblum. I didn't stick around to watch anymore.
post #93 of 570
I was begged by a friend to return to Heroes. I quit after season 1.

You have a guy who can time travel, and there comes along all the paradoxes.

Hero, why don't u just teleport back in time just a few hours before opening the safe? I mean for christ sakes you were sitting in your office and just turning back time and moving it forward. Then when you went forward, the show didn't have the balls to put in some giant type of lizard or turtle?

Rocky's kid, you came to the past to stop your brother from telling the world about the special people out there? Couldn't you just teleport to when he was sitting on the crapper and slip him a note?

Spock, watch out for a hanger in the eye, because you're ripping Halloween. At least in a few years, Comic Con you'll have two booths to scare people at.

Claire, why are you not in my bedroom naked now?

Next season, level 7! OOOOOH! They're even worse! Beware the man with the powers to rig elections. A panda or turtle is gonna win the presidency.

Fat Keanu Reeves needs to die. In fact, if the turtle did talk to him, it would of been cooler. He could carry the turtle in his pocket and get advice from him sporadically. I mean a talking turtle, where could they be raping that oooh Leonardo, I could use your dos kitanas right now. Seriously, Fat Keanu Reeves needs to explode like Skinny Keanu in Matrix 3. The turtle can go on to destroy Tokyo.

Did Hiro's friend hadouken?

I'm gonna take a crap, throw it against the wall, and that'll be the script for next week. Expect dramatic improvement.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a friend to make feel even more retarded.

Gee, so there's a long lost 3rd Summers-- I mean Petrelli brother who it turns out is evil. I hope it turns out Peter is the father of some dude with a metal arm from the future.
post #97 of 570
This is hilarious. It's so stunningly bizarre, I can't look away. I might even tune in next week, for the laughs.

This show could use a The Good, The Bad and The Ugly every week.

Not likely according to the "fans". All those genius references - not rip-offs. Anyone know the ratings?

Anyway reading this thread gives me a morbid curiosity to waste another hour of my life on that crap. Like the urge to watch a slowly burning schoolbus full of special children.
post #100 of 570
So so so so so so so so so so so so stupid.

Terminator was 5,000 times better tonight. Anyone that compared this show to Armageddon needs to motherfucking take it back for the following reasons:

-Mohinder became The Fly.
-Peter went back in time and killed his brother in the most public fashion then proceeded to hide a gun he could have teleported away with.
-George Takei let the gay cloud his brain and it caused him to leave a safe opener on his desk.
-Peter realized he should have brought the gun to the future and teleported JJ's best friend to the future instead of going back in time and not hiding the gun.
-Syler came back.
-They ruined the entire fucking premise of the first season by making the cheerleader unsavable.

I will never watch this show again. I'm going to literally cut friends out of my life that said this premiere was less stupid than season 2.

Edited to add:

Destiny literally knocked on his door. FUCK YOU.

This is the last time I comment in any Heroes thread or ever bother with anything related to this show.
