The Spike Marshall Thread

post #1 of 117

Thread Starter 
Spike,
Instead of derailing every thread on the board, please use this thread to:
A) Complain about the B-Action movie thread
B) List everybody you have on ignore
C) Talk about how you only want to talk about cinema

If you can't contain your vendetta to this thread alone, I will be forced to put you on IGNORE and then remind everyone in every thread that I have you on ignore.


Oh, and kill yourself.

Ignoring Spike won't make him go away.
I believe it was Bea Arthur who said:
"First he came for the B-Action Movie thread and I didn't speak up because I was not a B-Action movie fan. Then he came for the James Bond thread and I didn't speak up because I was not a James Bond fan. Then he came for the Star Trek thread and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Star Trek fan. Then he came for me... and by that time there was nobody left to speak up."

Spike singled me out for hatred in some random thread and I have no idea what I did to offend him so. That said, I really don't have a problem with him. He'll never know that though 'cause I imagine I'm on his ignore list.

You're being too hard on Spike, Bob. Without him we wouldn't know which movies made between 1985 and 1987 aren't worth a damn today.

Thank Christ THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN has been spared from his wrath. So far at least. Feel like the other shoe is gonna drop on that one any second.

Didn't 2pac say that? If Bea Arthur said that, then she's a gank-sta!

Spike Marshall likes certain kinds of movies and such, that's fine and dandy - but when fellow Chewers are doing their thing in a certain thread, he spaz's out and name calls them for no good reason. There is proof.

It's like he to wants to embrace Michael Dudikoff in AMERICAN NINJA and the one-two combo of Ernie Reyes and Rob Schneider in SURF NINJAS - but something is holding him back.

TOP: B-Thread chilling and grooving and everybody is welcomed...

BOTTOM: Spike Marshall wanting to groove to no avail...

Could this thread also serve as a compendium of movies Spike Marshall has outgrown, for easy cross-reference with movies I like? I find using the search function for this purpose both time-consuming and too liable to oversight.

You're pissing into the wind, Phil. Nobody around here is going to listen to any discussion of Aliens that doesn't consist solely of "Best Movee Evar".

Bob, if you don't like the guy, why wouldn't you just put him on Ignore instead of starting a thread about him? Isn't that what the Ignore function is for? Slagging on him for using a site function for its intended purpose seems a little odd.

Spike didn't talk about it to himself for 7 pages. (Fuck, I'm having a "good old days of the board" moment, and my good old days were less than two years ago.)

And BobClark started this thread for laughs; I want to be clear that I'm comparing the Dogpile Gang to Nazis, not him.

Mozzarella AND cheddar! It only works on American style pizzas though, not Italian.

Too bad 1 of the large pizzas is 18 dollar, otherwise I would be clogging myself into sweating saturated fat every single day!

Nothing on Dominos Pizza works. Nothing. They could throw in a free blowjob with those fucking plastic disks of reheated puke and I wouldn't send out for one of them even if the only other option for nutrition was the slowly rotting corpse of my mother.

Spikes one of the better posters around. You can't hang shit on him for getting uppity: Dudes English. Thats what they do.

Right.

And you also don't make it a point to remind everyone how much it sucks at least once in every thread that you do post in.

You tried.

Spike's a smart guy. I respect his opinions. He's difficult to deal with at times, but I've always been able to deal.

That being said I still like Aliens. If that's a deal breaker then so be it.

I can understand something like this:

"I, personally, don't really enjoy the motion picture Aliens. But I will concede that it is a sensational piece of filmmaking. It's simply not my cup of tea."

Much like I can say something like:

"Marmite tastes as what I imagine shit seasoned with piss must taste like, but millions of Brits love it, so it must be good and I am wrong for not liking it."

Or: Miles Davis was a talented musician. And he made good music. But I, personally, hate Jazz.

But to just say: "Aliens is not a good movie"?

No. That statement makes no sense.

Well, my brother likes it so can he be off his list? And technically my daughter shares no genes with me so can she be off the list as well?

I, on the other hand, deserve my place on the list and am proud of it.

It's an average movie at best. While I can understand that there are people who think it's great (some people think Taco Bell is great), I'm not one of them. I think it has a very saggy middle, it altered the Xenomorphs to the detriment of the series and Cameron's dialogue reaks up the joint. It has a few nifty action sequences and a pretty nice look but that's about it.

Even the Special Edition of Aliens doesn't skimp on rising tension; how, then, can the second act be " very saggy", Ryan? You don't like the dialogue... fair enough, but how did the film's portrayal of the eponymous extraterrestrials diminish the series' quality?

Working on it now, Phil. Apologies for exacerbating the tangent; thanks for the link. I just couldn't let such a striking, unexplained statement go unquestioned.

Back to matters Spike, I think he's charismatic, engaging, and a valuable member of the boards.
