The Venting Thread

Yes, especially that particular criticism. Because, so what if they are? Go peruse the female characters in these moves and MOST ESPECIALLY female superheroes' bodies and costumes, fanboy, and then get back to me about how beefcake in SF movies is wrongbad.


ETA: I worded that poorly. I'm not saying that hot guys ARE necessarily the only reason that girls like ____. I'm just saying, it's ok to like hot guys in your _____, and it doesn't invalidate liking ____ itself.

How can you get through three seasons of game of thrones and then get pissed off about the violence? Lol. It's not exactly new in the series. And it's not like the series is mass murdering people that didn't die in the book series....


I don't get the rage at HBO.

OMG hahaha I know. It's Game of Thrones folks... PEOPLE DIE. In super gruesome ways! A LOT. Since book one people.

I get the "BAH I'M NOT WATCHING THIS ANYMORE" because so-and-so died and you were Team Such-and-such but c'mon.

Defiantly can tell the Readers form the NonReader of my friends.

I still have that Billy Idol song in my head , and did you see Maisy reaction video? it is hilarious.

cant embedd for some reason .


I have been reading on Westeros.org and the debat is raging on what is going to be in the season finalle.

If they think this twist is wrong , wait until the end of book 5

There is a facebook page here that just takes pics of people from one town and makes fun of them. Like people of walmart but worse. Just if people are overweight or homeless. I will admit I laughed at some but others are just sad And everyone I know has liked the page. Just makes me feel bad. I know some of those people just have really hard lives.

Yeah, we're all wondering why you haven't read the books?!?
Just kidding, I probably know why, they're like 1000 pages each and can be slow at parts. Sometimes you get to someone's chapter and your heart sinks because you know it will be punishingly dull But when it's good, it's really good. You should at least read ASOS. The RW is only half of it. After AFFC (book 4) and ADWD (5) are supposed to be the middle chapters of a very long book. Honestly, while I still enjoyed them, I wouldn't blame someone for not wanting to read them.

Now I think she may still a spy. Perhaps she fell in love with Robb and bailed on the Lannisters, or she didn't want to abort the baby or something. The letters and her initial behaviors are so suspicious, and Tywin said he has a spy in Robb's camp. I hope it is just a red herring though.

I used to like him, before I'd read the books. When I read the books I realized a bit of character assassination had gone on. They cut most of his scenes (understandable), gave some of his better dialogue away to other characters, changed his other dialogue and took away all of his sharpness and craziness. His demeanor just isn't right. Additionally, he's supposed to be in his late 20's, be dark-haired and gaunt-faced. I'm just not impressed with what they've done to him.

It was pretty tragic. Especially since his face had such likeness to a certain breed of dog in my house Even though I knew he was doomed I wished he would just break out of there.


Complaining about violence on HBO, especially on Game of Thrones which has been violent from the get-go, is totally ridiculous. Yes this was sad because you were attached, but it's an HBO program based on a book series that is trying to be someone realistic about e.g. the fate of a young, inexperienced rebel king who is losing a war against men with 100x the experience, and has broken a serious promise to one of his most vital allies.

IF YOU THINK THIS HAS A HAPPY ENDING, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION. lol

To be fair though, there was definitely one aspect of this that was very brutal that HBO invented all by itself.


Bah I don't believe it for a second.

Hey, if you don't want to read the books, do what I did - read the wikipedia summaries, LOL. I don't like gore (and in a book it's no better, because then it's up to my imagination to produce the imagery... ugh) but my friends kept talking about it, so I was like "Well I'll just SPOIL EVERYTHING for myself!"
And that is what I did hahaha.


ETA: My vent for today... my dad took my car back to the repair shop on Friday. They said they'd look at it Friday if they could get to it but Monday for sure. Monday came and went and I didn't hear anything. It's 2PM on Tuesday and I still haven't heard anything. My dad said he hasn't heard anything but he was off mowing all morning, so if they had tried to call him instead of me, he wasn't there to answer... which logically they should have called ME after that, and they DID call me last week (twice.) But they haven't yet.
I just want my car back. Or for them to tell me it's going to cost a few thousand dollars to fix and I can sob for a few hours and tell my beloved Hopscotch goodbye and then go buy a new car.

ETA2: I called them. They haven't even looked at it yet. Supposedly it's next in line.
sigh.

I finally watched Inception. It was way scarier than any horror movie I've ever seen. It set off my psych problems and I freaked out with panic attacks. Ugh.

OH tries to pull this one on me, but I don't care ... I have a LONG list of movies/shows I admit I watch (or started watching) simply because I thought a character/actor was hot. Here are a few :rofl1::rofl1:

TWD (Daryl Dixon ... hello?!)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (for Spike )
Castle (Nathan Fillion ... WUVED him since Firefly)
Any movie with George Clooney when I was younger
Indiana Jones/Star Wars back in the day because of young Harrison Ford
Anything with Johnny Depp

so see, girls can be just as shallow as guys, I just wish there wasn't such a double standard about it :/ cuz its not a bad thing for anyone to have their celeb fantasies ... as long as they don't get crazy stalkerish with it.

Website says packages take 7 - 12 days to arrive... I talked to a customer service representative (it's been two weeks) and she says it takes 7 - 25 days. OH OKAY THEN.

Well, to be fair... they did kill Talisa, and Ned Stark Jr, neither of which apparently existed in the books (read somewhere that Talisa's character is pretty different from "Jeyne's"?). Okay no, it really is still is G. R. R. Martin's fault. Using the TV show to tie up loose ends, I guess?

That's the first time I heard about people being outraged about the violence! LOL that's ridiculous. HBO had never been shy about showing chopped off heads and blood in the show. Everyone I know was just majorly pissed that Robb died. To be honest, it's the Theon torture scenes and the close-ups on Jaime's arm stub that were the hardest to stomach for me.

Oh me neither. I'm angry at G. R. R. Martin because he's the reason we can't have nice things, but let's be honest - that's one of the things I love about the show/storyline.

Unless he kills Arya or Dany (I know book readers hate Dany, so shaddup). Then IT IS OVER.

Maybe.

They'll be back. We always come back. The show/story is too good xD Honestly I can see Game of Thrones gaining some new viewers from being at the top of the trending news and on every website this past week. Plus, I can see all the show watchers running out to pick up the books because "GODDAMNIT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?".

Maisy is adorable! I saw her and Sophie Turner's reaction videos and well... hers was really weird. Awkward.

Book 5? Oh man we won't be there for another 3 to 5 years at least. Considering they split Book 3 into 2 seasons.

Yeah, all the words :c

Haha and well, this is going to horrify you (I know CharlieDog yelled at me for this) but I DID browse through the books, but just to read the Arya and Dany parts :rofl1: And even then I sort of just skimmed them. So I know their storyline-ish. I've downloaded the audiobooks though, and while it's not quite the same experience, it's a lot easier for me because I don't have to put aside any time and can multitask while listening!

Aghh, that's what everyone is saying now! I think the theory now is that she was a spy, and she either fell in love or had a change of heart with her pregnancy. So the letter she was writing a few episodes back could have been to her family letting them know, but then it was intercepted by the Lannisters or whatnot. I want that theory to be wrong, too. Fine, Robb was being an idiot and broke an oath, but I thought their relationship was sweet. I liked Talisa's character.

Oh! Did you watch part of the show first and then read the books? Now I really feel like I should.

Those eyes Book readers are saying that in the book, at least he went down fighting and I wish they included that in the show... it would have eased the pain a little.

The Boltons are bastards xD

"SURPRISE, BOOK READERS! And you thought you knew everything!"

LOL You're the only person who's actually recommending that :rofl1:

Do you still watch the show though? I accidentally read quite a few big spoilers while reading a Wiki page on one of the characters, which is why ultimately I decided "screw it, going to download the books and just read their chapters!". I wish I didn't read those spoilers, but at the same time with all the GOT related pages I browse... it would have happened sooner or later. That and I have no patience or self restraint.

So...I don't think it's okay to ask a couple if you can stay in their hotel room with them the night before their wedding. And it's certainly not okay to be upset when I say no!!!!! I can't be the only one who would be upset by this!

I am so excited to publicly share our love & vows and to see a bunch of friends and family in one place...but OMG, I will be thrilled when this whole wedding experience is over! I haven't been so frustrated with people (friends, family, florists, hair salons, etc) in my life!

Can I just say that quoting posts with spoilers in white ruins the point of putting spoilers in white?

I don't care personally, don't watch the show, but I'm amused

My co-workers said they likely didn't do that since it would have involved more CGI and stuff, but they agreed they wished that scene had happened.

Nope, I don't watch it at all and never have/likely never will, and I doubt if I'll ever read the books either. Yesterday we were talking about the short story prequels and my co-worker, who is a guy, said he finished one in particular and it was late at night and he sat up for a loooooong time after finishing it because he was disturbed over how it ended. I have always read articles and fan stuff about it though. My favourites are things like the Boob Counts hahaha. Oh man. But anyway, I don't have HBO for starters - but I just plain don't do gore and violence. I told my friends, in one of those reaction videos you see a girl who shields her eyes... not because something shocking is happening and she's reacting with shock, but you can tell from the look on her face that it's a "SOMETHING GROSS IS HAPPENING DON'T LOOK" LOL. That girl would be me. All the time. XD


Um... that's creepy/gross. No, not okay. o_o

Maybe we should have a got chat thread. Lol

There's a dog in rescue that I desperately want, but I don't think I'm the best home for him...I still applied for him, and I know that the rescue will choose the best home, but I'm not optimistic I'll be chosen and if I am, I'm not sure if I should accept...so much want though.

I absolutely LOVE being married...but I hated getting married. It's much better waking up the next day and realizing it's all over and the real good stuff can begin

Not on my tapatalk at least.... They look blank, even the quotes... LOL

Got a letter from the insurance company that they're cancelling our homeowners' insurance because the guy who came to inspect the roof said Riley was an aggressive dog.

He deduced this because a) Riley has a brindle coat, so he must be a pit bull or pit bull mix, and b) my sister put Riley in the house so he'd be out of the way while the guy was walking around and Riley - OMG - barked at the guy through the window. :wall:

Put a call into our agent, who's on vacation, but her assistant said they would appeal. If I didn't think it would do more harm than good, I'd call that idiot inspector and show him what aggression really is. Grrrrrrrrrr...

I can't believe I just spent two hours arguing with someone who thinks pit bulls are "murderers" .... it got to the point where he was trying to tell me:

1. German Shepherds never bite people because they have a natural instinct to defend children
2. Dogs are wolves
3. There are some breeds of dogs that were wolves 2 generations ago.
4. The only difference between wolves and dogs is that dogs live inside.

I am apparently a wacko. I am also apparently "brainwashed."

Sizzle, just wow. o.0
If dogs are wolves and Fable does prove to be a yote hybrid, I've got a seriously kickass dog- a wolf/coyote. xD
Was that eejit on a forum?
