Jack Aubrey Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 QUOTE (GhostGirl @ Mar 19 2008, 11:45 AM) For all your "elegant" (and at times, ungrammatical) responses here, you can't really be too surprised that people aren't jumping at the chance to call this film a "gem" or a glorious artistic achievement, considering the subject matter. Can you? Like it, applaud it, worship it if you want. Sure, offer your opinion. But when the subject matter is disturbing to a great portion of a population, don't put them down for it as if YOU, sir, are the arbiter of what is art. Give me a break. You can get down off your high horse now. P.S. Telling the moderator he's no good at what he does and telling him to "grow some balls" serves to make YOU the subject of ridicule in my book. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Artagnan Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 You cannot just remember that you are a moderator here halfway, after you posted a lot of flamebait. Moderator or not, expect an answer when you write "statements" like "were you born a dick or did you learn it?". Perhaps in other circumstances, your "warning" as a "moderator" would have been valid, but the way you addressed to me earlier does not grant you the right nor the credibility to "warn". Either be courageous enough to hear the answer when you knock the door, or do not engage in the discussion in the first place and stick to "moderating" debates from an impartial standpoint.

Rushian King Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 So have you seen any of Pasolini's other films or did you watch Salo solely because of your interest in the Marquis? I've seen Mamma Roma which I loved and The Gospel According To St. Matthew whick was OK if a little dry. If you haven't already seen it, related to the Marquis side I recommend Marat/Sade aka The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum at Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060668/ .

Stormtron Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 QUOTE (D'Artagnan @ Mar 19 2008, 09:13 AM)I would value Scorcese's (an avid fan of Salo) over Joe Nobody's any time of the day.

I forgot that I am in this world to mold myself into to your concept of what a moderator should be! I mean, what the hell was I thinking?! How dare I not immediately subordinate myself to your will! How dare I call you a dick when you've really descended from your lofty seat at the right hand of God to dictate to me how to run my forum! Oh, please forgive me, Great One! That was very witty, by the way. With such "sarcasm", delivered with the subtlety of a gang rape by a group of elephants, no wonder why I was advised -by the genius above- not to "f*ck* with you.

D'Artagnan Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 QUOTE What was the point of the thread then? The above only concerns the individual who claimed to have watched the movie, yet everything he said points out the opposite. Hippies call it Karma, Jesus calls it "seek, and thou shalt find", internet people called it "own3d"; In summary, the individual in question got what he asked for, and I do not feel like making an issue out of this. Many others disagreed with my opinion about Salo, and I absolutely respect their opinion, and understand where they are coming from. QUOTE ...and you're surprised you were called a dick? Very.

QUOTE Many others disagreed with my opinion about Salo, and I absolutely respect their opinion, and understand where they are coming from. You should have extended that consideration to everyone, Test included. Look, I've read a lot about this movie since last night, and every review or synopsis I have read states that the movie depicts children being tortured and raped. Yes, the children were played by people of adult age, but I don't think that makes it all right and apparently you are the only one who does. I shudder to think why anyone would enjoy a movie like this, it sounds pretty depraved to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
