I don't know how someone can make fun of groove and listen to sludge. It's so closely related.
Why is it dumb though? Take the Star Trek franchise for example. Part of what makes that franchise so great is the fact that its universe is so large and encompassing; and still, 95 percent of the time, despite being so encompassing, it manages to maintain total continuity.
When it comes to canon, when you introduce discontinuity, the entire franchise is damaged. The piece of art becomes flawed, and its legitimacy as a quality piece suffers. It's just sloppy.
This is why, again when it comes to Star Trek, movies like Star Trek 2009 fucking blow. "Alternate universe" or not; it utilizes bad science, discontinuity when it comes to established canon, and all in all is just a sloppy action flick that cheapens the franchise.
I put forth the Mortal Kombat movie that never quite made it as an excellent example of cinematic creativity straying from the original idea. Can you seriously say this would not have been fucking awesome as a full length?
I guess if you're really into something and they finally release a movie, and its not true to the franchise, that's super disappointing. But you shouldn't declare it a terrible movie, just declare it a terrible representation.

I hate him so much. I had this weird thing the other night where I wanted him to win and to die at the same time. Damn ingrained subconscious nationalism.fucking hell our young players( Kyrgios and Tomic ) are idiots.
But the thing is, when it comes to some* franchises (such as the aforementioned Star Trek, where its strength is in its fifty years continuity ever-so-skillfully weaved together), a terrible representation IS a terrible movie. It shows sloppy writing, and a total disregard for the established storyline of the entire universe in question.
I mean, yeah, Star Trek 2009 may be an entertaining bit of action, but being entertaining alone does not a good movie make, especially when it is hacked together so sloppily. When it comes to some franchises, continuity is literally sacrosanct.
I enjoyed that Mortal Kombat clip, but in all honesty, I'm not big enough on the franchise to actually care about whether or not it's canon. I'm sure if I was super into it I would probably have a more in-depth opinion.
*Note I said some. Not all.
How often do you watch porn when your fiance is around? I've always wondered how a live-in relationship would effect my porn viewership.
If he could actually concentrate instead of carrying on like a pansy he might get somewhere but he's an enjoyably dislikable person. And that fucking hair.I hate him so much. I had this weird thing the other night where I wanted him to win and to die at the same time. Damn ingrained subconscious nationalism.
