Thanx, Gerard. Thank you. I know there are some out there that have completely given up the site. Look. I'm telling you, all I said was an opinion of the film. I don't condemn anybody that likes it. I am still a DS fan. I still eat hamburgers and drink containers of coffee with them. I swear to God you are all okay!!! Oh, the humanity...
that's part of my point. that there are those who have "completely given up" on this great, active, well-moderated site because, why???, it has taken something of a positive approach to the film is absurd and highly indicative of the irrationality of much of the fanbase in this regard. I have noticed some regular posters jumping ship after the release and I don't understand why.
again, it's no harm, no foul. so some members and a couple of moderators enjoyed the film. so what? who's being harmed? there's enough other places on the internet to bitch about the film. here it's kept to a minimum but there's plenty of other things to post about.
and really the film's only been out for about a year and a half. it still has something of an element of "newness" to it for a franchise that only has major output news about once every decade or so. it'll die down.
