Tell you that you're wrong? I would certainly not be one to imply your opinion is invalid or incorrect. You asserted that the three decades of the man's career produced nothing more than garbage. I simply cannot agree with such a notion. Where I'm willing to forgive the transgression of making a few movies I didn't like (which I incidentally do not believe to be inherently bad films), you are not because in your view he has never made a laudable film.Zachary Amaranth said:I used your phrasing. Don't tell me I'm wrong because I applied your own words to the discussion at hand. It just looks silly.Eclectic Dreck said:The man's career only spans three decades. If that implies you thought Aliens, The Abyss, The Terminator, Terminator 2'and True Lies are all garbage then I find it quite difficult to find any common ground. Yes, he also made Titanic and Avatar, and while I didn't care for them, its obvious a great many people did. Even if I didn't like those movies, I still don't consider them outright bad by any stretch - they just were't for me.
If you are truly of the opinion that the movies I listed were garbage, then there is no point in discussing the matter. My apologist campaign will make no headway if you do not believe the man has produced a notable film in his career and in making such a claim, it strikes me that your opinion is so incompatible with my own that it would be all but impossible to convince me of your position. We are therefore at an impasse.
A final note however, do not construct a straw man. I never asserted your opinion was wrong. I never implied it was wrong. I'm fine with disagreement, but descent into fallacy is more than a little silly, especially in an argument as silly as this one.
