Watchmen only just managed to scrape a profit... it cost $130 million and made $185 million, so it wasn't a flop, but I'm pretty sure Warners would have been pretty disappointed with only making $55 million out of it.

If you genuinely think that they made a $55 million profit from Watchmen at the BO, then you shouldn't be commenting on anything regarding the business side of film.

Well what else would you call it when a film costs $130 million and makes $185 million at the box office, genius?

A few questions. Is marketing free? Is distribution free? Do theaters show films as a favour?

Err, if you're going to say I'm 'wrong, wrong and wrong-diddly-wrong-wrong' then the onus is on you to back that up. All you've done is throw some document at me and expect me to find your evidence in it, and then have the gall to suggest that you're doing my research for me. A child could debate than you. Come back when you've found your supporting evidence.

So wait a tick: you've been demanding people to back up their opposing views with research and what not, and when someone like Discodez does this you throw it back in their faces and then act a like a spiteful little kid?

The term "bashing your head against a brick wall" springs to my mind.

Only if you've wilfully misread the situation. What specific evidence did Discodez present to back up his point?

You're either an utter moron or a wind-up merchant.

Either way I'm done here.

When people have called out trolls before, the moderators have informed us that we should instead report the offending posts to them so they can do something about it.
Considering doing the right thing seems to have led to no response, then...

For God's sake, shut up, fucking troll!!! I've been very patient so far, but your continued insistence that anyone who backs up their arguments with actual reasoned debates are just attacking you, whilst you yourself are calling people "cowards", "fucking liars" amongst many other things have made me lose my patience. Fuck off... seriously. There's no point continuing this debate if you're just going to keep on acting like a spoilt little bitch! FUCK OFF!

And thus marks the first time I've actually lost my temper on here.

Pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses understanding. I'm proud of you, you're getting there.

Point one: Have click around the article and you'll see the rules and regulations for different countries, the article states quite clearly that major studios submit different edits of the same film to different countries allowing for local laws and sensibilities. However have a look here (banned films) and you'll see, for example that Saw 3D was initially banned in Germany but was later made available in an edited version.

by the way, this is the first and last time I will do your research for you.

Err, if you're going to say I'm 'wrong, wrong and wrong-diddly-wrong-wrong' then the onus is on you to back that up. All you've done is throw some document at me and expect me to find your evidence in it, and then have the gall to suggest that you're doing my research for me. A child could debate than you. Come back when you've found your supporting evidence.

The evidence is there and is quite clear, I have even linked to it, all you have to do is read it. Now seeing as you're choosing not to, and have decided to continue with this ridiculous tirade against anyone who doesn't want to join you in your pathetic crusade, I will from this point on block your postings and ignore anything else you write on these forums.

No, you provided a link to an entire document, if there was some evidence in that document that supported your point you neither found it nor presented it. Backing up your point is your job, not mine. What's actually happened is that you've argued yourself into a corner and now you're running away, but not before dropping off a few rat-turds on the way out. Thanks for trying, anyway.

Strange, considering I haven't been offline in ages (though I have been attempting to ignore this thread).
In answer to your questions, obviously not to the first two, to the third one, theatres show movies because without them there business would be a bit slow... I'd've thought they'd have to pay for prints of the film and not the other way around, considering they make their money from a portion of ticket sales.

Either way, I'm not taking that into account... they made a profit on the film, and it's not my consideration that they'd already spent that money elsewhere.

One tip I'm afraid - check who a ticket is assigned to. Empire Admin don't notify Mods if it is assigned to them (it's a dumb part of the tech set-up but there's nothing we can do about it).

One more personal insult, calling out, behaving like a general trolling ass in thread and users will be going on pre-Mod. That goes for childishly unsubtle digs and language deliberately sharpened to provoke responses and argument. And a reminder to more regular users who shouldn't need reminding - at no pont do you get a time-out from the rules to break them yourself. It might explain it, it doesn't excuse it. Just take a time out, and a breath - trolls aren't worth it.

Seriously Drooch, lay off the puerile insults and attacks. It's doing absolutely nothing to aid your argument - quite the opposite; adults only resort to playground name calling when they are defeated.

I don't want to attack anyone, I want to debate this issue about the BBFC being complicit in the censorship of DH5, but if a user chooses to downshift to insults and personal attacks then they can expect to be repaid in kind. For an example of proper behaviour, see peter's posts - lots of useful, relevant content and no unnecessary ego pyrotechnics.

Apologies, but it didn't give me an option to assign it to anybody. Only options were REASON, and PRIORITY.

No, but you can raise the report again - we don't mind duplicates for that reason.

Some people multi-report the same post over and over again allll the time

Yup. There is an embargo stopping reviews until release day. Shows what faith Fox have in it anyway, that and the fact they are releasing it on Valentines day

Exactly!!! He's drawing or something when Lucy answers the phone in the first movie too. I have had to correct a couple of people today on this very matter, I think people are just trying to find more stuff about the film to moan about

EDIT: He's sitting on the floor playing while Lucy draws.....
