Link to original post: [drupal=4411]Transformers 3, ****ty best friends and a whole lot of Scott Pilgrim[/drupal]
Well, I'm not the greatest at story telling but here goes. I'm JJ, and an ordinary (or maybe not-so-ordinary) guy who just so happens to be 16 years old. I 'm a nerd, gamer, friend, brother, perfectionist, idealist, etc. but not a hypocrite. In this story I will refer to two of my friends that I'll call Friend A and Friend J. Well it starts a little bit like this.
I don't always read comics or graphic novels, but when I do I literally stop most of what I'm doing to commit myself into finishing then (assuming the the comic is a finished series). Ever since the commercials for the movie and seeing so many of my friends play the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World the video game on 360 back in 2010, I was eager to see what was the craze. Sadly to say, I only saw the movie trailers that got me so hype and never found the energy to get my lazy *** up and go to theaters to watch it.... thank God I didn't but that's later in the story.
Recently like the beginning of this week I finally bought the Scott Pilgrim vs The World the video game on XBLA (Xbox Live Arcade). That game kicks mega ***, if you like beat-em-ups like Streets of Rage, X-Men, Castle Crashers, The Simpsons, then I promise, you will thoroughly enjoy this game for 800 Microsoft points ($10 USD). I suggest reading all 6 volumes of the book before playing the game or watching the movie, nah forget that I strongly recommend it.
I am best friends with Friend A and Friend J. I've been friends with them for 5-6 years. Friend A is sometimes an impulsive guy who lets his anger gets the better of him, most times. Then there's Friend J, the one who tries to be calm in most situations and everyone looks at him as the most mature, understanding, and intelligent out of the three of us. I'm gonna just go ahead and say i'm in the middle of that. But I will say this in the terms of what's right and wrong, I BELIEVE I have the most understanding between the three of us.
One day I was just hanging around in my house talking to Friend A and J on the phone while reading Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. Transformers 3 is right around the horizon, and we decided that we were going to go watch it in the theaters on premiere night. So we all were talking about our thoughts on Transformers 2. Personally speaking I thought Transformers 2 was an ok movie, nice CGI, good fight scenes, ok actors if you like Meagan Fox being a little bit shallow and Shia LeBoeuf screaming OPTIMUS!!! after every single explosion lolz but on a serious point I DID NOT find it the best movie of 2009 in the slightest when we have great movies like 500 days of Summer, Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, Zombieland, Inglorious *******s, Law Abiding Citizen, Up, etc. I honestly just don't think that Transformers 2 can top these. This movie isn't even close to being Oscar worthy just to add.
With that being said, my Friend A said that most of the movies I suggested weren't as good as Avatar (considering the fact that Avatar was probably the only movie he saw out of my suggestions). Disregarding what Friend A said since he obviously doesn't watch movies very often, I asked what Friend J thought about my opinion and he had the nerve to say I'm biased. Now I was a little bit confused and angry when he said that because I didn't understand exactly what he meant by saying I'm biased but then I asked what did he mean. He said I read and watch movie reviews on the internet and base my opinions on the review I read/watch. I know Friend J, he's my ****ing best friend for crying out loud. I could honestly say based off his tone he was serious and I was seriously thinking that he seriously thought that I can't be serious enough to come up with a serious opinion for myself, seriously...
Now, here's some truth in the scenario, I love the internet. I love connecting with people around the world and learning about new people. The internet grants people knowledge. I do read many things on the internet: articles, reviews, blogs, etc. but for Transformers 2 I swear ive felt like this ever since I watched the movie. It's really NOT THAT GREAT and as much as I'm friends with them, I dont tolerate Friend J saying that I dont gather opinions of my own and I have to use reviews of a movie to gather my own opinion (note* he sees me reading and watching movie reviews) he was implying that im a liar, a follower, a hypocrite and that was the straw. I told him he could go **** himself and haven't talked to him since.
Look I know I may be considered young to some users reading but take note that when you were my age, everything wasnt little high school bull**** in your eyes but imo i think this is a little bit more than an argument. Even though friendships get based off of solving and getting over differences but to be friends for so many years and to be judged like a stranger and not think about who I really am before saying saying an opinion about who I am makes me think that your nothing but a ****ing moron. Well anyway, this is my little snorfest story. Please show support and give me all of your thoughts. thank you very much for reading
