  1. Firstly, this has nothing to do with the scene in question and everything to do with how people respond to it, which is an inherently unfair critique.

     

    Secondly, you're claiming they shouldn't be compared when you're the one who seems dead-set on comparing them to begin with. 

     

    You're more obsessed with this fight scene than any of its supporters are. Just let it go, man. You'll be much happier for it, trust me.

  2. I feel you, man. This is a crisis that pretty much everyone I know is going through or has gone through. We're tasked with making critical decisions about our financial future when we're still young and naive. It's tough.

     

    I'm stuck too, in the sense that the things I'm most passionate about are things I don't believe I'm qualified to do. I'm trying to find the alternatives but it's been a grueling journey thus far.

     

    Still, you can take some comfort in knowing that you're not alone. Best of luck, man. :)

  3. Aw man, forgot to watch Upstream Color on Netflix.

     

    Being something of a snob, I'm kind of amused that my favorite movies this year were effects-driven blockbusters, while the artsy critical darling only barely made it onto the list. YMMV, obviously, but Upstream Color didn't really do much for me. It seemed to ape Terrence Malick, but without the emotional power he so effortlessly gives his best work.

     

    But compared with a lot of what I watched, it's still good I guess.

  4. Top 10s. I love Top 10s.

     

    I'm horribly lazy, so here I present my own thrown-together top 10 than I'm not in any way going to explain. Keep in mind that I've seen very little that's notable, and I really only loved the first three. Also, the first two are kind of tied.

     

    1. Gravity

    2. The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug

    3. Before Midnight 

    4. Stoker

    5. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    6. Only God Forgives

    7. The World's End

    8. Monsters University

    9. Frances Ha

    10. Upstream Color

     

    I agree with your take on The Hobbit. Smaug was a damn awesome creation and the barrel scene was a fucking hoot.

  5. I got two replies on my Welcome topic, and my first post outside of it was fairly well received (with three brohoofs if I recall).

     

    ...But even with that, I initially found the forums rather intimidating. It was probably just my social anxiety, but it took me about two months of being here before I started making any friends at all.

     

    If possible I would like to prevent newbies from feeling like I did, so count me in.
