LTD, round 3: This time, we settle it with Jello Wrestling

Really? Then she should take those pink glasses of once in a while so she can see how stupid her arguments are

OMG everything makes sense now

WTF are you talking about?

MARKETING>CREATORS WORDS

These people are aware that marketing has nothing to do with actual content right?
I mean, trailers for movies change tone depending on showtimes. For example, a suspense or drama will be marketed as horror if shown after 10 or 11 pm. This shit happened to me with The Village and then I was pissed once I left the theater. Fuckers >:

Hell, most times trailers will focus on the biggest name if they think it'll draw people in: POTC on Johnny Depp, Inglorious on Brad Pitt, Public Enemies on Johnny, etc etc.
That doesn't mean the other fuckin characters are not important. Blockbuster draws always get first billing. The most memorable scene is always going to be mentioned (her death). It doesn't spell romance any more than Mufasa's ghost does in LK.

Point: Marketing wants to sell. They are not above rearranging, stretching or taking away to achieve their point.

I dunno what the Clerii are smoking. The fact that they showed a MAJOR spoiler in the freakin commercial shows how much they really knew about the story to begin with.

 

[Eerie]

A love that could never be is so much better than matching feelings anyway. We just fail to see it, that's all.

 

[Dashell]

How many times do I have to tell her the quote said "feelings of desire"

god ...

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

No no no no. Cloud is fucking Tifa to make Aerith happy, but not because of his true love for her, but because of AERITH'S love for Tifa. He's letting Aerith mako parasite inside him so she can partake of Tifa as well. Cloud is just that good a friend, he'll do that for her.

So, FFVII is a loose remake of "Being John Malkovich"?

... I don't think she knows what marketing actually means. I think she thinks I'm making this up, somehow.
And at this point, I have no compunction about saying, this is a religiously motivated argument. Lying for Materia Jesus, and such.

So, FFVII is a loose remake of "Being John Malkovich"?

Yes. Only better looking.

Thread is boring. New Love Triangle!

Discuss.

....okay, I just wanted to post that. :p

DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN!!!! OMG!!!!

Every single commercial and trailer for that movie focuses on what's funny. Every single commercial and trailer for that movie is edited to make it seem like a slapstick comedy. They make it seem like Medea is the title character. SHE'S NOT!!!! In fact, besides that tiny handful of scenes that Tyler Perry is actually in, THIS MOVIE IS RATHER SERIOUS. Madea is NOT the main character. She doesn't even really get that much screen time, and yet she's the character with the most focus in all the ads.

Why? Because I'm sure it was decided somewhere that the character of Madea is what would draw the crowds.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Would now be a good time for me to post the routine of Bill Hicks telling marketers to go kill themselves?

 

[Tennyo]

DO IT.

 

[Lord Noctis]

DO IT

 

[Ⓐaron]

By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself.

No, no, no it's just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they'll take root - I don't know. You try, you do what you can. Kill yourself.

Seriously though, if you are, do.

Aaah, no really, there's no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers. Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously. No this is not a joke, you're going, "there's going to be a joke coming," there's no fucking joke coming. You are Satan's spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself. It's the only way to save your fucking soul, kill yourself.

Planting seeds. I know all the marketing people are going, "he's doing a joke..." there's no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, fucking hang yourself, borrow a pistol from an NRA buddy - I don't care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil fucking makinations. Machi... Whatever, you know what I mean.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, "Oh, you know what Bill's doing, he's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market, he's very smart."

Oh man, I am not doing that. You fucking evil scumbags!

"Ooh, you know what Bill's doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar. That's a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We've done research - huge market. He's doing a good thing."

Godammit, I'm not doing that, you scum-bags! Quit putting a godamm dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet!

"Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market, Bill's very bright to do that."

God, I'm just caught in a fucking web.

"Ooh the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market - look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar..."

How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don't you?

"What didya do today honey?"

"Oh, we made ah, we made ah arsenic a childhood food now, goodnight." [snores] "Yeah we just said you know is your baby really too loud? You know?" [snores] "Yeah, you know the mums will love it." [snores]

Sleep like fucking children, don't ya, this is your world isn't it?

 

[Tennyo]

There is not a monster big enough for that.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Not even

Spoiler

?

 

[Tennyo]

That actually might do.

 

[Ryushikaze]

Keryep. I don't agree with Mr. Hicks on everything, but I think he's on the same track, if a lot further down, as my rage, contempt, and derisive amusement for marketing bullshit and bullshitters.

 

[ShuShu]

I think Bill was onto something with our beloved batshit insane resident Clerith being a ghost of dupe account past.

Such idiocy sets me into a dark place. A dark place indeed.

That just quote just pwned you.

What a fucking moron.*

Classy.

 

[Celes Chere]

I wouldn't even call that person a Clerith. Just batshit insane. =/

 

[ShuShu]

Thats pretty much all you can do.

Logic, reasoning, its all wasted on this one.

 

[Dashell]

I hate it when they say Cloud isn't happy in that one picture...
He's just not that kind of guy... OH WAIT WHEN HE'S WITH AERITH HE'S ALWAYS HAPPY RIGHT?


Look how happy he is

oh... oh wait. uhm...

Here's the happy Clo-

uhm... no... it's in here somewhere...

Oh here we go, when he was reunited with her at the end of KH, he was enraptured... let's look at that happy couple and...

Hmm... uh...

 

[Vendel]

You forgot when he is kissing the rain.

And at the end of AC/C where he smiles ONLY at Aerith. Not Zack and clearly not at Tifa.

 

[Dashell]

He smiled at someone in Tifa's direction.

 

[Vendel]

He smiled at someone in Tifa's direction.

It must have been those two out of focus people behind Tifa.

Then again your friends over in the land of (the not quite as) pink think his expression doesn't change at all in that sequence.
