Should they reboot this?
And do a version that is actually respectful to the source material?
shareNice try your original point was that I knew nothing about inflation. I proved that notion wrong so you are attempting to change the basis of your argument.
When I said LOTR ROTK made more money it was true even when adjusting for inflation. So you have no point here. Had I said that LOTR made money than Jaws you would have a point. I did not therefore you lost here also.
If you had said adjusted for inflation LOTR did better at the box office I might believe you but you didn't. Also OFOTCN won 5/5 major academy awards, one segment of LOTR won two and when you divided that by 3 you get .6666. 5 - .66666 is an absolute ass rape.
shareOscars are one category now aren't they? So when factoring in imdb, MC and box office it is an absolute ass rape. I do not need to say that every time I post about box office. Also I proved you wrong about me not knowing what inflation was before you mentioned it. Own up to it. It does not change the fact that LOTR ROTK made more money at the box office.
shareYou are the one who didn't think any inflation occurred between 1975 and 2001, I have every reason to not take you seriously. And winning the 5 major Oscars overrides IMDB, MC and Box Office, only 3 films in the history of cinema have ever achieved that. Suck on it, LOTR didn't even come close.
shareNope I knew inflation occurred since then. Oh so now Oscars mean more than imdb, RT and box office. Then why wasn't that the case when it came to TDKR?
TDKR won no Oscars and never even nominated for a damn thing. So since that is the case you willing to concede Forrest Gump is better than TDKR?
Here is the funny thing it does not even bother me that OFOTCN beats it in Oscars as I love that film also. I just know that LOTR is considered better by the majority.
How many times do I have to tell you this discussion isn't about The Dark Knight. Are you off your ADHD meds?
Obviously OFOTCN is NOT considered better by the majority or else it would have been higher on the list that YOU cited. Owned like a bitch you are!
The majority is measured by what the majority correct? Which site has the most people available to vote? That is imdb and it is higher rated on imdb than OFOTCN. Owned!
shareNope you don't like IMDB, you put more stock into what film critics say and according to you they like Cuckoo's Nest better. Owned!
shareUm also no on MC which has critics on it it has LOTR rated higher. On RT the top critics rated LOTR higher also. So um wow fail again dude.
shareAgain OFOTCN ass raped LOTR at the Oscars which according to you meant the most, at least it did when you were trying to prop up LOTR. Hypocrite????
shareAlso the fact that it won all 5 major Oscars it overrides IMDB in this case.
shareThe majority implies the most people. Imdb has more people on it than the academy does. So it goes with what I was saying. According to the majority LOTR is the better film.
shareUntil you demonstrate that IMDB equates to "cultural impact" you have nothing.
shareIs imdb part of culture or not?
shareConsidering you can’t even define cultural impact or explain how you determine it I don’t know how I’m supposed to answer that
Now answer my question are they both trilogies or neither?
No answer got it. I proved my point.
shareYou can't even define cultural impact so how am I supposed to answer your question??? You can't even find an objective, quantifiable definition, you're just making stuff up.
shareI proved my case. Is imdb part of culture or not? Until you answer that this point is done.
shareUntil you define what cultural impact is anything else you say is pointless. If you can't even define your argument then how am I supposed to respond? Sounds like you didn't think this through very well.
shareAnd case closed. I won imdb is apart of culture which proves my point. Box office is as well. So I won thanks.
shareWhere is your evidence that it's a part of cultural impact? Where is your definition of cultural impact that says IMDB??? Post that and then we'll talk. You might be able to just make things up and win debates in your kindergarten class but in the real world that isn't going to work with me, I actually demand evidence.
shareAlso I am not entertaining any more of your deflection until you answer the following:
Which is true?
A) BOTH LOTR and Pulp Fiction are trilogies
OR
B) NEITHER LOTR or Pulp Fiction are trilogies.
There are no other options now according to your own definition, which is it?
You never proved your point about Pulp Fiction. You said you would release it in a 3 segment part. All you did was showcase small segments of the films posted by somebody on youtube. You did not even edit it yourself pathetic.
Yep LOTR is a trilogy according to the dictionary.
No you said I had to post the three segments which I did. Your definition said nothing about being released to the public. Now answer the question are they both trilogies or neither?
shareI also said it had to be your edit. That is not your edit nice try. Also it is not a 3 segment thing. Too bad man.
shareStop making stuff up and stop moving the goal post. Your definition said nothing about it having to be my edit. Was LOTR your edit??? Didn't think so. Although by your logic you just admitted LOTR isn't a trilogy so thank you.
shareYes I did. I said I did not believe you made an edit of Pulp Fiction like you claimed. I gave you the chance to prove it you still have not. LOTR was released in 3 parts. So I did not need to edit it lol. Nope LOTR is still a trilogy according to the dictionary definition. Tolkien has no authority over the English language sorry.

My exact quote.
Nope you need to prove it or else I will not believe you. I gave you the stipulation. You know what needs to happen.
Once you prove you made your Pulp Fiction I will further expand on my objective measurements.
Key word their your! I gave you the chance to prove you made your own edit you failed. This round goes to me. share
Sorry your definition says nothing about being released to the public. It just says three related things and I posted 3 related things.
shareThat you edited. You didn't therefore no dice. I said it needed to be your edit of 3 segments you failed. So I won't be humoring anymore Pulp Fiction stuff. I gave you a chance you failed next topic.
shareDoesn't matter who edited it, I provided 3 related things. Your definition doesn't say anything about who has to edit it. Now answer my question, which of the following is true?
A) BOTH LOTR and Pulp Fiction are trilogies
or
B) NEITHER LOTR or Pulp Fiction are trilogies
Can't weasel your way out of this one kid.
Nope I said prove to me you edited it. I provided the link already. You didn't therefore too bad.
shareWhether I did or not is irrelevant, I posted three related things which meets your definition. You didn’t edit LOTR so it shouldn’t matter, I gotta say I get off on watching you grasp at straws, it’s quite amusing
shareNope it is relevant. You lost this point next point. You lie about something it negates your point. I provided the stipulations. You failed to meet them.
shareI provided a pulp fiction trilogy that meets the requirements of your definition. Your definition never specified what format it had to be in. Now are they both trilogies or are neither?
shareNope you didn't make it. That was the requirement i said that earlier on. I proved that i did. Yep LOTR is a trilogy I am not backing down on that. You however failed dude. I gave you a chance.
shareNo one cares about your requirement, you aren't the authority on the English language. According to you the google definition was and I have satisfied the google definition. Don't try to backpedal. This is actually quite typical, when someone such as yourself has been backed into a corner they just start making things up as a way to get themselves out. Not gonna work with me.
shareUm nope I said originally prove to me you made an edit. You failed to do so. The one backpedaling here is you. Had you done what I asked you could have had it. You blew it. Too bad man. Lotr is a trilogy and you failed to prove YOU edited a trilogy. You simply cited YouTube clips of the film. Not the stipulations I gave you. Sorry man.
shareLol unfortunately the definition of a trilogy and the world as a whole doesn’t revolve around what you want. The original Star Wars is a trilogy regardless of who the editor was as was The Godfather. How does who edits it impact the definition of a trilogy? According to your definition what I posted is a trilogy so deal with it kid
shareBecause I gave you the stipulations to prove to me you made a pulp fiction trilogy. You didn't.
Those links you posted were not in 3 segments like you claimed they would be. It was clips of the film. Sorry dude you lost.
Aside from the links not being 3 you didn't edit those. You lost man.
I just proved to you a Pulp Fiction Trilogy. Your definition said nothing about who edited it. Nice try kiddo.
shareNope! As I said earlier I said prove to me you made it. You did not. Nice try. Anyhow its good to know it hammered your Batman trilogy. That makes me happy honestly.
shareYeah I'm going to have to see a definition of a trilogy that says the person asserting that it's a trilogy had to have edited it. Until then you have lost. This discussion was never about who edited it, the discussion was about whether it could exist and if it could it would constitute a trilogy. But the fact that you are too stupid to keep up doesn't surprise me.
shareLet's say Richard Francis-Bruce told you that he was the editor and he made a "Lord of the Rings" Trilogy, then you found out it wasn't him and instead it was John Gilbert, would that disqualify Lord of the Rings as a trilogy despite the fact that it met the requirements of your definition????
shareUm yeah this discussion was about whether I believed you created one. I gave you the chance to prove it you failed to do so. Case closed. Anyway I am not discussing Pulp Fiction anymore. You lost this point, anything else about your failed edit will be dismissed.
shareNope sorry we aren't moving on until you answer my question:
Which is true?
A) They are BOTH trilogies
B) Neither are trilogies
The discussion was about whether Pulp Fiction met your criteria for a trilogy and clearly it did. I have all 3 parts on burned DVDs and I asked for your address so I could mail it to you but you ran away like a coward.
You have lost this point, now just be man enough to admit it little boy.
Not continuing. Sorry bud you lost. I gave you the chance to prove it. All you had to do was upload the 3 segments edited by you. Instead you took the lazy way out. You simply gave me youtube clips of the film which were not edited by you. This is your own fault.
shareGlad you admit defeat, it must be burning you up inside lol.
shareNot really. Owning you while fun is so easy. Remember when you said I knew nothing about inflation before talking to you and I proved you wrong?
LOL I don't even need this but embarrassing you and making a joke out of you has kind of become a hobby to me.
shareYou are the one that gets embarrassed. Funny thing is you try and argue against the dictionary. How dumb can a person get?
shareOh no you're the one arguing over the very definition you cited, but of course you are too stupid to realize the irony of your pathetic excuse of an argument. HAHAHAHAHAHA boy am I enjoying this.
