Prometheus

[orinAGN]

The closest thing to a 'character' that any of these have is the French policeman, who is introduced to us carrying a baguette who is fairly quickly revealed to be corrupt; Neeson's character shoots his wife in the family home and we're supposed to approve of/ be impressed by this? It's OK because the husband is a scumbag?

Oh no! A movie showed a French guy with a baguette.  It must be racist.
And as for this comment - "we're supposed to approve of/ be impressed by this?"
No. We're not.  Neeson is shown to be just as dangerous as the villains, if not more-so. He's a man not to be trifled with. 
You're forcing your assertions onto a scene.

Turn this movie around: European girl travels to the US. Populate the film with lazy cultural stereotypes of black people who are, without exception, evil. European father proceeds to kill all the black people without hesitation or remorse. Note that European father shows little or no interest in any of the other victims of the people he's hunting, beyond the precise point where they can help further his mission to retrieve his daughter.

Still not racist, or only racist because the maligned group is now black?

Still not racist.  Evil people are evil because they are EVIL, not because of their race. 
Evil people exist in every part of the world. 

I can't.  Not in the slightest.

Try harder.

Try harder at what?  Being as narrow-minded as you?

Wow. You know how to make friends don't you?

Fifty three posts and onto my ignore list. Congratulations, you've set a new record.

Oh no! An anonymous poster on the internet wants to ignore me!  Because I pointed out how biased he was.  Whatever shall I do?! My world is crashing around my feet!  Oh! Woe is me! This is truly the end...

Whatever.

He's not anonymous - his name's right there.

He's not anonymous - his name's right there.

Anonymous as in he's a non-entity.  He's a name in a forum.  Not a person.  It's an account. 
If this were face to face, then the anonymity would be gone.

A name is only a name.  It's a rather common name.  And not necessarily his real name.  A screen name doesn't make him less anonymous. 
Anonymous has more than one definition.  It doesn't JUST mean to be without a name.
It also means having no outstanding, individual, or unusual features; unremarkable or impersonal.
And a name and an avatar of a badge certainly pertain to the lack of oustanding or individual features.
And an internet forum is rather impersonal.

Not trying to bait you into an argument, or start anything with you.
Just wanted to defend my statements since you seemed so willing to challenge them.

Hope that helped.

Ah, so it's more than just the one thread is it, and not just me orinAGN is getting shirty with.

...and I thought I was making a bad start on this forum.

Definition of Anonymous: a state in which one feels safe being a total fuckwit because the person he's acting a total fuckwit towards can't break his nose.

"Let's remake COMMANDO but instead of having the former CIA operative against another former CIA operative who has kidnapped his daughter, we'll have him against foreign criminals."

Hang on, wasn't the other former CIA operative working with columbian terrorists i.e foreign criminals? If memory serves me right that is....

[Charlie boy]

You're probably right, I can only remember the basic plot of Commando and some of the more memorable quotes and scenes. So Commando and Taken aren't as different as I first implied...

Holy crap lad, he's not remotely an anonymous non-entity, he's a highly respected professional comics letterer with impressive script credits in the Megazine, an he's using his real name.  I've never met Jim in real life either, but I'm fairly sure he's a person, and a decent one at that.  Don't mistake a robust argument for online jerkiness.

Play nice, please.
It is possible to have a debate without resorting to personal attacks, and I would much rather it was done like that...

[radiator]

Yeah come on, let's all get back to talking about how shit Prometheus is!

When I saw it in the cinema, there was an audible groan from the audience when they [spoiler]did the stupid take the helmets [/spoiler]off bit.
