Passive aggression is how you respond to active aggression.

you were just as aggressive with your review (even before the movie started). by all means continue to go to movies you knowingly will not enjoy and [expletive] about them as if you are suprised. again, i'm not trying to stop you/convince you otherwise. i find it funny.

i dont get the mother made movie remark. my mother had nothing to do with the movie. i just think its dumb to go to a movie you know you will not like and then boast on a forum that your opinion was correct. i knew i had no interest in last action hero and thus, did not see it.

It was active aggression. If your mother made the movie.

and she didn't so you can squash that subtle jab as if i have some personal stake in the movie

edit: i realize my "smarter than everyone else" comment was just as cheap but you tend to come across like that on here (imo)

Hey man, I'm not some big homer, but Joce has a point. You said before you went that you weren't going to like the movie. So why bother, then come back to concur that you indeed didn't like a silly popcorn action movie?

This is a terrifically respectful forum compared to most of the online world, but you were pretty much straight up 'trolling' as most forums would say. You deliberately posted a contrary opinion, that you had predetermined, just to incite arguments. Don't be upset at Joce (or myself) for calling you out on it.

Holy [expletive]. Basically every action movie hero in history is in this - they revamped the cast to add even MORE legendary old guys. Look at this cast:

Jason Statham (returning)
Bruce Willis
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Sylvester Stallone (returning)
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Jet Li (returning)
Chuck Norris
Dolph Lundgren (returning)
Terry Crews (returning)
Randy Couture (returning)

Eh, trolling to me implies he's not being truthful. He's just being himself.

I don't even care enough about The Avengers to post about it dismissively. /snob
