December 30, 2011"54" I am sure you can understand why people say stuff like that.
You were born 20 Years after Alien first played in Theaters.
I was born approximately 20 years before it was released.
If you are 13 that means you weren't born when Resurrection came out either meaning you never saw all 4 of the original films in the theater !!!
People make the terrible mistake time and time again of equating Age with Wisdom and it is Not Fair and it Sucks but that's life.
It makes no sense to me, because i have seen 13 year olds with ten times the intelligence of 50 years olds like me.
What does make a difference though, is sticking to your guns and presenting your point of view the way you just did.
Respectably.
KUDOS to you sir.
"54" that post you made is fantastic. You defended your position very articulately and like a person much wiser than someone with some stupid number assigned as their age.
After all, it is just a number.
I do not give a rat's ass how old someone is, to me it's how they handle themselves that matters most.
But not everyone thinks like I do and it would be foolish of me to expect anyone else to.
We are all unique in our own ways and anyone that tells you you do not matter because of their age is wrong and you have my "go ahead", not that you need it at all, to ignore them all together.
However, at the same time, The people who are older like myself, in general I think, are acutely tuned into things like how hard it is to make a really good movie in today's day and age and like everyone wishes they made themselves, like this one is.
It's easier for us to be critical of younger opinions and attitudes because we equate age with things like VALUE as well. We tell our young..."respect your elders"...because we feel being older makes a person more deserving which is not necessarily true either, but you see my point I am sure.
"42" did NOT mean to offend YOU directly, and was trying to reason for us all why people would want to hate on a movie they haven't seen yet.
He must have read many comments at YouTube and just reflected how they read, as if they seemed to be written by younger people.
In your case, you may not have been one of the people putting the film down...
And you handle it very well...respectfully, so you accomplished something else as a bonus...you made at least one person, me, look at something a little closer, and in the future, I myself am going to be more careful not offend anyone in lieu of their age in the future.
AGE, CREED, COLOR, SEX, RELIGIOUS BELIEFS... these things don't matter, but how we treat each other does.
Funny, I learned something today from two guys who named themselves after numbers, you have that in common now... YOU ARE ALIKE...."54" & "42".
