FUCK THE MIDDLE EAST- who would have thought that 20 years later, that title could still be so true.

Fuck me, what a moron. Yes because for a whopping TWENTY years the Middle East has dealt with civil unrest.

Haha, muffytheVampirelayer pwn3d the hostile fags, that was funny.

Oh yeah, shit. You gotta be registered for and week and have a certain number of posts before you can go on General Chat. They're so bloody uptight over there ^_^

A discussion about that cool new film The Day After Tomorrow:

Certainly the best, if not the best, disaster movie I've seen for a while.

wtf?

Making a point with a post sometimes comes in handy. You know, so that you don't just look like some spammer.

The movie, IN MY OPINION, YES MY OPINION BECAUSE THIS ISN'T FACT MERELY AN OPINION THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE MINE, was far better than the likes of Armageddon (a disaster movie that was more focused on the shitty love story of Ugly Liv Tyler and that random guy who's name I forget), and better than trollop like The Core and that one with Pierce Brosnan and the Volcano (the only decent part of that being when the old lady got burnt to death in acid, that was funny).

Now please don't mis-interpret what I'm saying, I never said The Day After Tomorrow was a great movie, merely that it was a good disaster movie. Disaster movies are, after all, the shit that is scraped from the bottom of the sceptic tank of Filmography. This movie however, did keep me entertained, and seeing people getting hailed to death was side splittingly humorous.

He was only pointing out that what you said didn't really make sense (you used "the best" twice when you didnt mean to). He didn't mean anything by it.

Erm, it was a simple grammatical construction.

"Certainly the best disaster movie I have seen for a while," ie, probably the best I've seen for a while.

With "if not the best," in the middle, implying that it may in fact actually be the best I've ever seen.

Sorry to nitpick, but they're right.

You should have put "certainly one of the best, if not the best"

Maybe I'm just misreading it. I thought you meant to say "Certainly a great, if not the best, disaster movie I've seen for a while."

Now it picks up...

My way works perfectly fine as well if you break the sentence down into two clauses, which was the intention of the commas. It's simply a compound sentence that has been turned into a compound-complex at the expense of a few extra words.

You cannot use the two same superlatives in that sentence with an uncertain term "if not"

[font=tahoma, verdana, arial,helvetica]quote:​

Certainly the best, if not the best, disaster movie I've seen for a while.​

You're saying it's "certainly the best" but then you're saying "if not"

Literally what you are saying is, "It's the best, if its not (the best), then its the best" which doesn't make any sense.

The two adjectives need to be different ie

"Certainly a great, if not the best, disaster movie I've seen for a while."

"Certainly one of the best, if not the best, disaster movie I've seen for a while."

Nah, the adjectives don't actually need to be different.

The two sentences are:-

"Certainly the best disastar movie I've seen for a while."

and

"The best disaster movie I've ever seen."

When you put those two sentences into one compound you get:-

"Certainly the best disaster movie I've seen in a while, if not the best I've ever seen."

And I simply re-arranged that into a compound-complex with less words and only one duel clause rather than two seperate ones, to save a few seconds of time:-

"Certainly the best, if not the best, disaster movie I've seen for a while."

It's a perfectly legitimate sentence which at the time saved me a few seconds, but of course explaining how it works has now wasted a good few minutes of my life. That's what you get for cutting corners eh

Swiftly followed by what was the general consensus by the rest of us:

Dumbest.

Argument.

Ever.

Christ, I can't believed I just copy'n'pasted all that

 

[NAD]

I love semantics! That's pretty pathetic though. I'm glad there was no Internet when I stopped playing Final Fantasy games.

Video game RPG boards tend to be really anal, which is why I don't bother with them.

 

[Erik]

Video game sites on the internet are scary. People draw pictures of their pixelated heroes (and probably write love letters to Tifa or Aegis) and write crap fan fiction that really sucks. They probably have less of a life than I do.

 

[NAD]

Worst fanfiction I've seen was for Lord of the Rings. It's on the Internet somewhere, god damn somebody wrote this insanely long (and very UN-Tolkienesque in style) story about what happened in the Fourth Age. Don't suppose they figured out the "age of men," as Tolkien called it, was referring to today's world. You know, real life. Idiots.

[mousewings]

Eeew. Game sites. Also some anime and Harry Potter sites are no better. They roleplay the characters and say how in love they are with them.

The weirdest is when they write slash fanfiction with Harry and Draco in love with each other. uke:


This site has many trolls and interesting quotes too. sadly I spent three years there throwing insults and participating in their sexual interests threads.

the billy milano forum would be the last place on UM i would ever post reguraly, even behind the bodom board. bunch of no-brained meathead rednecks. oh yeah, and billy...

We have a new contender.

Damn, i was beaten to it.

 

[NAD]

I have read many books regarding black and death metal. I know the difference in both.

Don't listen to the music to determine what is what or anything.

I don't know who Cradle of Filth influenced, especially considering all those faggoth bands like Old Man's Child, Dimmu Borgir, etc. have all shared members at one time or another. Well, a lot of them have shared members. All that crap sucks ass by the way, except Dusk... And Her Embrace.

 

[Black Winter Day]

i don't really consider COF's early material to be faggoth. then again, i sort of enjoy their later material as well (when i'm in the mood).

 

[NAD]

I just call it all faggoth because it's a funny term, I don't mean it in a derogatory way.

 

[Black Winter Day]

speaking of faggoth...

that faggoth thread at GMD (the one that caused me to renounce posting at GMD ever again) was pretty funny, if not tedious, if looked at from an "informed" POV.

Oh god yeah, some of those lemons are scary...especially the yaoi ones. Mind you, there's a tiny amount of good bits out there, but a great majority of cringe-inducing wank, and sadly some insights into a few lonely, insecure people.

Some of it's hilarious though...I recently read a Tenchi Muyo fanfic where Ayeka got fucked by the two logs as a big fan of the series I can honestly say I pissed myself laughing.

sorry guys, but what is funny about that thread is that the "emperor" guy is so obviously out to yank everyone's chain and Erik and J. are taking him waaaay to seriously.

 

[Black Winter Day]

...well, he DID list Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse as black metal bands...

 

[NAD]

Look at the edited title though, he fucked up with the black metal part. He just meant metal apparently.

I don't think he's a troll, but who knows.
