LOL!

That statement is proof positive that society has become desensitized to violence.

You're welcome.... whatever "disingenuous argument" means.

What it means is that it is exceptionally rude and uncalled for, to blow someone off accusing them of not wanting to hear what you have to say - basically of entering the discussion dishonestly - in return for the time and energy they invested in genuinely trying to understand and explore your perspective. Perhaps you can appreciate the irony involved in pairing that particular accusation with a complete dismissal of their response to you.

The irony is that this is what you are doing when you dismiss the obvious evidence of personal experience. Many of us have already stated that movies do affect us, yet you have decided that such evidence is meaningless.

For those who know the right thing to do, and do not do it, to them it is sin. Some movies cause us to sin, so we choose not to watch them, and feel compelled to give appropriate warning to others.

This is one-thousand-percent wrong. I have done no such thing and there are multiple examples in this thread alone of my acknowledgment that motion pictures can have a persuasive effect on people. Exactly zero of my responses to you said that movies have no effect at all; what they have asked is how that differs in your mind from all the other forms of communication over the years that have conveyed a lot of the same information, carried a lot of the same advertisements, been tied (right or wrong) to a lot of the same behaviors and have existed in times when plenty of wrong behaviors took place absent those influences.

Not only is your accusation false but it is completely the opposite of what I have actually said.

no more than less than 0% can be mathmatically wrong!

To the contrary, it is entirely accurate. The accusation is ten times more wrong than plain vanilla wrong.

So it's more like Rocky Road ..... now that's ironic.

Sorry about that. I was out of line. I was having a bad hair day (which is ironically a good thing for a guy my age).

Well, the good news is that will probably be the deepest insult I'll have to read today, so the rest of my evening can only be uphill.

You, sir, are a cad.

Up!
G.I. Joe was also very good, but Up! takes the cake by far. best animated film. Finding Nemo is close behind though...

Wow... this just slipped into a pun thread.

Can you please explain which part was so violent, YMT, instead of just ignoring me?

The pre-Joe sequences. The war flashblacks. The terrible written scipt probably prompted some amid audience violence as well.

It's been a while... I can't remember much of the movie. Don't remember any violent parts like that.

It's an R rate movie when YMT was young. That's how he judges it. IMO, it's probably high up on the violence scale in relative to what I would have expected.

lightningninja · « **Reply #220 on:** November 11, 2009, 11:49:01 PM »

Does anyone remember any specific scenes that could refresh my memory?

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #221 on:** November 12, 2009, 09:08:10 AM »

ok, so it was violent. I remember that now. but not bloody...

Wait. Are we talking about the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour?

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #223 on:** November 12, 2009, 05:17:38 PM »

I don't equate violence just to blood. A sampling of scenes I felt were too violent for children:

1. Guy getting his head cut off.
2. Guy getting long metal probes stuck into his skull as the good guys try to tap into his memory for evidence. His head ends up imploding.
3. An apparent 9-year-old karate student kills his teacher with a sword.
4. The half dozen or so bad guys killed by having a projectile thrust into their eye socket.
5. The 374 people killed in the movie.

Master KChief · « **Reply #224 on:** November 12, 2009, 05:25:14 PM »

none of those were actually portrayed.
