I read a really funny review once (can't remember where) which posited Commando as the story of a jilted gay man (Bennett) taking revenge on his ex lover (Aahnult).

Amongst all the convincing evidence, the reviewer pointed out that the film climaxed (pun intended) with Aahnult literaly penetrating Bennett with a massive pipe. The look of sheer ecstacy on Bennett's face as he dies says it all.

Bear that in mind next time you watch it.

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.

Anonymous does not just refer to the usage of a name.
It has more than one definition. 
As I stated above:
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.

And as someone else stated above:
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.

Now, I don't care if he was just commenting on the situation, addressing me, or Jim...
Fact remains that this conversation wouldn't have gone this way in person, due to internet anonymity, because of the truth of the above statement.  Someone would have had their nose busted by now.

No but this dude is:



Ahhh Bennett- the most hackneyed and enjoyable 80's villain ever.
I wore out my VHS (and tear ducts with laughter) back in the day at the bit where Arnie executes him with a bit of steel pipe.
"Let off some steam, Bennett"...vintage.

Not to mention that this guy was also in Mad Max 2 as a crazed homosexual biker with a mowhawk.

But I digress: I'M GONNA KILL YOU NOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Oh what the hell...
Cursed Earth Dweller- does Commando come with a director's commentary on DVD? If it does, I'll try and pick it up from a friend as soon as I have the chance.

I prefer Commando - the musical

There a is a region 1 special addition DVD that is available on amazonuk. Don't get the UK import or the Blu-Ray as they are cut to the max(although I'm not sure if theres a blu-ray version of the special addition).

Isn't a given name a fairly individual feature?  Other than posting his long-form birth cert and his fingerprints I'm not sure what else he could do...  I don't think it's remotely fair to accuse someone of behaving a certain way because they're anonymous, when it's clear that they aren't and your actual beef is that he isn't in punching range.

Welcome to the world of the written word. Most people consider it an advance that you don't have to be in the same room as someone to communicate your thoughts.

Mmm... maybe you missed my post about not making this personal?
This stops now.
By all means, talk about how Prometheus is rubbish, but do not make any more posts like this.

I thought Prometheus was a load of arse to be honest.

Think I might have posted something like this before but it's worth reiterating.

Cheers :)

This thread has become tiresome in the extreme now.
For a brief moment i thought sensible discussion had returned, but it soon went back to being a dumping ground.
Marvellous.

That pretty much sums up Prometheus.


This thread has reached its natural conclusion.
