The price of a cinema ticket in this day and age. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema anymore.

Hey mate. Im not interested in arguing about the price of movies. At no point during our conversation have i done that. I responded to a comment you made telling someone not to make assumptions about you and stated that i think they were pretty spot on with their assumptions about the tyoes of movies you watch. I never said your taste in films made you less than me or anyone else and even outright stated that i enjoy mainstream films too so i dont think im better than you.
You keep fighting with me about something im not arguing and calling me egotistical.
Please understand that if anything i have said has come across as aggressive or offensive (other than me pointing out how 'reddit' like this chain has been) please understand that was not my intention so im sorry.
I would like to say however that theres nothing asinine about suggesting if you arent happy with the films you are watching that you should go find better ones. Its pretty much the only answer to the problem.
Again, you keep making this about me going and finding better movies. Stop. That is NOT THE POINT. You keep trying to come off like you are magnanimous but it's incredible smug of you.
I do not have to do anything. It's not about me finding better movies. I don't have to look for anything. If Theaters don't want to become blockbuster they are going to have to change their practices.
If you don't want to have this discussion stop responding to me. Your ego clearly cannot allow you to not have the last word though. So I'm sure you'll come back and give me some other argument.
Forget it mate. You think im arguing with you, i think you are just looking for a fight.
Please re read our conversation. You werent talking about the price of films in the comment you made which i first responded to, and neither was i.
You were defending yourself when someone claimed you need to stop watching main stream films if you think they are all crap these days.
You said something to the effect of "thats why films are all crap these days, you need to fix that" then someone said you need to stop watching those types of films and look for stuff that actually looks good and you told them not to "assume shit" about you.
Then i stepped in and commented that the other guy clearly made an accurate assumption. And now i would say its pretty clear that he touched a nerve with you.
Infact id say that you need to wind your neck in. You need to stop projecting, you keep claiming my ego is huge but your the one who keeps getting triggered when yours is poked.
You call my suggestion to watch better films "asinine" (which means stupid or foolish) when it is literally the only answer to the problem. Like if you bought a certain type of tv because its popular brand but found the quality was suffering lately. You would buy a different brand with better reviews. If thats asinine then i guess im thick as pig shit...
And now you say im being magnanimous when i have repeatedly stated outright that i dont think im better than you. Ill say it again. I dont think im better than you. Or anyone.
I think you are mad, maybe got truggered by something and have been unable to let it go. It happens to all of us all the time. You have to let it go. We all do.
Please, if you respond, understand tat im done arguing with you. I will not reply to anything you say. Unless its from a non aggressive and offensive place.
