I think Richard is just okay.

[JohnnyNemesis]

What NOW, motherbitches?!

[Betty]

You are OUT of the club.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Please keep me, I love him :(

[Mota Boy]

Sorry, but we run a tight ship. In fact, we're sending a hitman after you. And he's got a facebook profile too, so he's already aware of your every move.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Ha! I'm sure the outrage hit your campus too.

[ilovellamas]

fuck the facebook face lift!

[Vera]

no way!111 I always found Richard to be extremely underrated.

[Jebus]

Pretty good. Just one question though.

Who is Richard?

He's that guy with those posts, right?

[SplinterByMyOwnDesign]

Who is Richard?

He's that guy with those posts, right?

You're going to have to be a little more specific.

[Vera]

He's that guy with those posts, right?

No, he's a member here.

[Mota Boy]

[ilovellamas]

already a member. :) the group has grown by atleast 1/3 since I joined. I hope it'll do something.

[Jebus]

No, he's a member here.

You got me there. :o

Wasn't he that guy who pwned lodat a while a back?

[Paint_It_Black]

I always found Richard to be extremely underrated.

You know, I've heard that a few times now. At first I took it as a compliment, then I realized they're essentially saying "you know, I don't care what everyone says, I think you're cool".

[Vera]

Naw, you're like the arthouse film that's brilliant but no film snob bastards have seen you and instead they praise those tired fucking films everyone *knows* is great so you're like the undiscovered gem.

Never sell out, Richie.

[Paint_It_Black]

But I want two thumbs up from Roger Ebert.

Edit: But I guess a couple of fingers from Sanni would do.

[no_way]

You're going to have to be a little more specific.

You're going to start to understand what sarcasm is.

[0r4ng3]

You're going to start to understand what sarcasm is.
Did anyone else just hear a strong wind?

[Vera]

Edit: But I guess a couple of fingers from Sanni would do.

I love Richard, but with limits.

[ilovellamas]

richard, are you the member here who thinks buffy became useless after season 3?

[T-6005]

richard, are you the member here who thinks buffy became useless after season 3?

Season 7 and Spike FTW.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Not being a total homo by watching Buffy FTFW!

[Paint_It_Black]

richard, are you the member here who thinks buffy became useless after season 3?

No!

I'm the member here who knows that Buffy became worthless after season 4. But I do think it should have just stopped at 3.

[ilovellamas]

Oh, season 4. Maybe that's what I meant. Regardless, liking buffy adds points. Not liking seasons 5 or 6 makes you lose points.

And Ricky just became officially uncool.

And T... you can't be serious. Season 7? Spike is great, true, but not in season 7. They could've done SO MUCH with that season, and they just blew it.

[killer_queen]

lolz @ u guys for watching buffy. That's all I can say.

[Manic Subsidal Boy]

lolz @ u guys for watching buffy. That's all I can say.

ive never watched Buffy :eek:

[ShadowPyro]

I’m assuming Richard is Paint it Black. I rather enjoyed reading his posts when I visited the BBS frequently.

[T-6005]

And T... you can't be serious. Season 7? Spike is great, true, but not in season 7. They could've done SO MUCH with that season, and they just blew it.
To be honest, Season 7 has some drawbacks. But Spike is generally awesome, so I don't mind.

[Jebus]

lolz @ u guys for watching buffy. That's all I can say.

Buffy is great!

and you like Slipknot. You lost your right to judge people once that happened.

[ilovellamas]

lolz @ u guys for watching buffy. That's all I can say.

lolz @ u for not watching buffy. That's all I can say. :)

edit: fact- buffy is far more respectable than slipknot. (though I don't dislike slipknot).

[JohnnyNemesis]

Buffy, respectable, and Slipknot don't belong in a sentence together.

In fact, Buffy and Slipknot don't belong in reality, period.

[ilovellamas]

you don't have to like buffy, but what exactly makes it so far from respectable? It's complex, deep, and involved; and it delves into many different genres, including horror, action, sci fi, drama, romance, and comedy. There is immense character development, most of the actors are good to great (some fall short), the script is most often incredible, and the stories are intricate and smart. other than the encompassing idea of a girl chosen to kill demons, which is too superficial to be a real reason, what's so bad about it?

[JohnnyNemesis]

It's complex, deep, and involved

True.

and it delves into many different genres, including horror, action, sci fi, drama, romance, and comedy.

True.

most of the actors are good to great

Oh god no. The actors are the main reason I can't watch the show, along with the fact that it's just generally not my cup of tea. I HAVE watched several episodes though, being around so many who love it. The characters, though are just incredibly unskilled. What annoys me about them is what annoys me about so many of the shows started in the same period; their delivery is predictable, their witty comments are sooo contrived, and some characters fit general television stereotypes so well that I want to kill myself when exposed to them.

[ilovellamas]

hmm can you give me examples of characters? I find willow (alyson hannigan) to be by far the least predictable character on the show. buffy took a while to develop, but once she started growing, she became very unpredictable, too. so did giles and cordelia. your description of characters, to me, sounds like it matches up with the first two seasons... but not the rest.

[Paint_It_Black]

Giles and Spike made that show. None of the other actors even fucking matter in comparison. They're just there so Giles and Spike have people to talk to/eat.

Angel had some great moments too, especially as Angelus. And Wesley became fucking cool, but only on the spinoff and only after he got his fucking throat slit and all his friends abandoned him. He became amazing then.

The Mayor was easily the most amazing villain. I forget the name of the actor, but he's excellent.

Xander was extremely funny and I found myself relating to him sadly quite often.

I totally wanted to fuck Willow.

Cordelia played a necessary function, and was even given something to really work with every once in a while.

I might have to watch some Buffy soon. Only seasons 2 and 3 though of course. They were masterpieces.

[ilovellamas]

Giles and Spike made that show. None of the other actors even fucking matter in comparison. They're just there so Giles and Spike have people to talk to/eat.
agreed that those two characters were the best actors on the show.

Angel had some great moments too, especially as Angelus. And Wesley became fucking cool, but only on the spinoff and only after he got his fucking throat slit and all his friends abandoned him. He became amazing then.
true about angel. I'm thinking about trying to get into "Bones" just cause I think David is such an underrated actor. Wesley had potential on buffy, and became great on Angel... but I have only seen season 1 and a few episodes into season 2 of Angel, so you just ruined a little bit of Angel for me :(

The Mayor was easily the most amazing villain. I forget the name of the actor, but he's excellent.

His name was Richard. Richard Wilkins. :P My order of major season villians goes:

7. The Master.
6. Adam/The Initiative.
5. The First. These two were tough, cause The First was a better villian, but Adam and the initiative had a more interesting defeat.
4. The Trio/Willow. Season 6 was weird with bad guys... much more involved, and I really enjoyed the Willow part of this villianry, but the Trio was lame.
3. Angel. The only thing that made Angel so high was his acting and buffy's emotions for him.
2. The Mayor.
1. Glory. God damn it, I loved her! I loved her alter ego of Ben, and her personality. She and the mayor remind me of eachother, how they're basically people, but amazingly evil. She was the most frightening villian in my mind, because she strikes you as this done up blonde woman, but her powers were immense, and she was SUCH a bitch.

Xander was extremely funny and I found myself relating to him sadly quite often. that's how I felt about willow in seasons 2 and 3. A little bit in 4.

I totally wanted to fuck Willow. I totally wanted Oz.

Cordelia played a necessary function, and was even given something to really work with every once in a while. agreed, she became terrific in angel, though.

I might have to watch some Buffy soon. Only seasons 2 and 3 though of course. They were masterpieces.
I just got through seasons 2 and 3. I'm about to move onto season 4.

just wondering... what do you have against seasons 5-7? Most of my favorite episodes are from those seasons, and the encompassing arcs were so in-depth... you really need to IM me sometime.

[Paint_It_Black]

so you just ruined a little bit of Angel for me :(

Shit. I'm sorry. Make-up sex?

I totally wanted Oz.

Oz was the anthropomorphic personification of cool. When he wasn't a stupid looking furry thing.

agreed, she became terrific in angel, though.

And in Playboy.

just wondering... what do you have against seasons 5-7?

To be honest I don't remember. I just remember mostly hating them. I felt the show lost almost all of its original charm and became ridiculous. If I watched it all again I could critique it in painful detail, but why would I want to put myself through that?

you really need to IM me sometime.

Yeah, sorry, I intended to add you. I think I did add you on Yahoo or something. You should just add me on whatever you use.

By the way, why was Spike absent from your list of villains? I can only assume it was a horrible oversight on your part.

And Glory was the single worst thing ever. Don't even ask me to explain. We have totally opposite viewpoints on her apparently.

[ilovellamas]

And in Playboy. charisma carpenter posed in playboy? not that I'm surprised, but she just lost points.

haha, I have always liked season 5. It's my favorite tied with season 2. season 6 I hated the first time, so I stopped watching half way through. I didn't like it till I bought it on dvd and watched again. season 7 is tied with season 1 for crappy.



Yeah, sorry, I intended to add you. I think I did add you on Yahoo or something. You should just add me on whatever you use. will do.

By the way, why was Spike absent from your list of villains? I can only assume it was a horrible oversight on your part. I was listing overall encompassing arc villians. Like, season villians. Spike was a villian in seasons 2 and 3, was a captured dog in 4, a good guy in 5 and most of 6, and then in 7. Then he sacrificed his life to save the world. Plus he struck several alliances with buffy when he was bad. Just not a true villian, though one of the best characters.

And Glory was the single worst thing ever. Don't even ask me to explain. We have totally opposite viewpoints on her apparently.

omgomgomgomg you crazy! atleast explain a bit of why you hate her?

[Paint_It_Black]

charisma carpenter posed in playboy? not that I'm surprised, but she just lost points.


You don't like that she posed in Playboy? Not that I'm surprised, but you just lost points.

omgomgomgomg you crazy! atleast explain a bit of why you hate her?

It's one of those questions that just overwhelms me. Where to start? It's like asking a Jew why Hitler was bad.

I did not like the actress. At all. I did not like that she was a god. That's just going too far. Urgh, I feel nauseated trying to explain. I'd have to watch it again to really remember though.

[ilovellamas]

Meh, I don't respect people who pose for porn. Particularly playboy.

and I understand not wanting to explain. just know that you're wrong. :)

[Paint_It_Black]

What's your problem with porn? Porn is fun. And honestly, Playboy barely counts as porn anyway.

[ilovellamas]

I don't have a problem with the people who watch porn, honestly. I suppose people get horny and want a quick fix. I don't think much thought really goes into that. However, the people who pose for it usually have complexes and feel a need to show off their bodies and slut themselves out to make money. And they're fucking annoying people, too. There's no reason to sell your body to porn than to make money off of being a slut, and it just annoys me. I guess that was a horrible explanation... I don't really know how to explain why people who do porn annoy me so much.

and how is playboy not porn? isn't porn depicting erotic behavior to induce sexual excitement?

[Rag Doll]

There are so many things wrong with this, I wouldn't even know where to begin.

[coke_a_holic]

isn't porn depicting erotic behavior to induce sexual excitement?
I think that technically, pornography also includes any form of penetration and any excretion of bodily fluids, which is why snuff films can be described as borderline-pornographic. I don't really remember where I heard that, though, and it could be a wrong/obsolete definition.

[Paint_It_Black]

and how is playboy not porn? isn't porn depicting erotic behavior to induce sexual excitement?

Because it's so...mild. The girls are naked, sure, but there is almost a non-sexual feel to it, compared to most pornography. Open a Playboy and open a Hustler and you'll see what I mean. Plus, it honestly does have some good articles. I accept that Playboy is technically porn, but in my own perception it's not. And I know many guys would agree with me.

[ilovellamas]

meh, I go by the definition. And by the definition, it's porn. :P but whatever, definitely not worth discussing.

[Paint_It_Black]

Definitions vary by location and are subject to change. On very subjective matters I prefer to form my own personal definition and not let others decide for me.

[ilovellamas]

I can agree with that, but not on nouns. as far as nouns go, I tend to go by set definitions. verbs, adjective, etc can vary, IMO.

[Paint_It_Black]

Well, it's been fun chatting with you, but now I'm off to bed. I've been meaning to go for about half an hour now. Damn this place is addictive.

[ilovellamas]

tell me about it... been putting off my homework for 3 hours now... :-/

[T-6005]

I might be late, but Spike made the show. And Season 5 of Angel.

Wesley was fucking awesome after about season 4 of Angel, which was just a complete piece of crap in every way. His death scene was actually mildly touching, not counting the stupid romantic interplay - just because Wesley dies.

And Spike rules in every way, as previously stated.

Angelus is a cool character, but I find I prefer him against Faith rather than Buffy - there's too much emotional crap that becomes tiring after a while when he's against Buffy.

My favorite villain is hard to decide. I think aside from the way in which she was defeated, Season 6's Willow was a fucking badass.

[ilovellamas]

Wesley had potential on buffy, and became great on Angel... but I have only seen season 1 and a few episodes into season 2 of Angel, so you just ruined a little bit of Angel for me :(

GOD FUCKING DAMN YOU!!!! :( :( :(

Willow was fucking amazing in season 6, though. I don't see how anyone could think her acting throughout the series was less than awesome.
