Those people who treat animals like objects, something you can just throw away if you get bored with it.
I think animals have it better nowadays than they did a century ago (back then animals were thought just to be a resource that could be exploited endlessly by humans, thus explaining most of the human-induced extinctions during that time), but I agree that we still have a long way to go.
And the only reason I even bring it up is because recently someone stuck a dove in a box, taped it up, and left it on the side of the road because they didnt want it. Needless to say it lives with me now.

You have my permission to track that guy down and put him in the hospital. Did he even put air-holes in the box?

…Seriously, I sometimes wonder how the heck someone would've condemned an animal to this. At least, if you want it to die, give it a clean death !

There is plenty to criticize the Walking With... series and even (much) moreso Primeval for. I've never seen or heard much about Glee but from what I've seen The Walking Dead isn't a bad show, the comics were enjoyable.

So yeah, it's all opinions, for example you dislike The Walking Dead and like Primeval. I hate Primeval and consider it barely above Bonekickers in terms of British Sci-Fi shows and find The Walking Dead comics very enjoyable, even if I haven't watched the show. Entirely opinion based.

And again, I may hate Bonekickers but I'm sure it has it's fans, I admit I cannot understand why anyone would like Bonekickers, but if that's what they like I won't be annoyed by that, confused but not annoyed.

And with Avatar, yes the CGi was impressive but as a film it wasn't really that good at all, I personally wouldn't give it more than a 6/10 if I were feeling very VERY generous. Heck the visuals still suck compared to many films with practical special effects, which most of the time look better than any CGi anyway

No. But he loosely taped it. The only reason I found it was that it was shuffling around in the box and it was next to my trash cans when I went to take them back from the road after trash day. (He tried to throw it out...)

You make a good point. In truth I just have trouble sometimes understanding the opinions of others, probably on account of the fact that I'm autistic.

Where's Mr Pig?

Since were talking about movies, I am annoyed by many movies from the last 13 years.
Even though many good movies were made, such as The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Meni Black II and 3 and Captain America, many others though were VERY bad.
One of the main reasons is how the values were changed, wht I mean? Seems like in modern movies Fights, deaths, CGI and Women are more important than the story and content. As one of today's best Film makers, Peter Jackson said "You neeed to be an expert in Special Effects to make a good movie, because it's easy to make the CGI overtake the story. A perfect example of CGI overtaking is Avatar, lots of CGI, not so good story. And about violence, what I meant to say is, in most older adventure/action movies you had lots of action, of course, BUT there was also a lot of story and content, a good example is Indiana Jones, modern movies though, have some story and content, and LOTS of action and women and cursing and death. And that annoys me. For example, that new Mysterious Island that launched, it was a sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth, the first movie was great, it had a great sense of humor, a nice balance of action, story and CGI and a nice cast. Then they make the second one. Awful, they used an awfull story, and what about the cast? The same as most other bad movies of today. Attractive girl, famous boy, muscular man, random old guy and comedy man.
Now don't get me wrong, older movies also had their flaws, but it just looks like newer movies have more...

Was trying to buy some Warhammer a couple of weeks ago from Wayland Games, who get Games Workshop to send them the products which they then sell at a discounted price.

I ordered an Azhag the Slaughterer on Wyvern model.

Wayland Games asked GW to send them that model to in turn send off to me

I waited almost three weeks, and finally today GW have said they refuse to send that and a bunch of other models to Wayland because they want them to be exclusive to the Games Workshop site, so Wayland has to cancel my order and refund me, which takes about a week to complete. It's frustrating -_-

---

To be fair one thing to note is there have always been movies where fights, deaths, special effects and women take precedent over a good story. The main problems with modern day cinema are thus, firstly it's much easier to make ridiculous special effects, CGi is easier and cheaper to create than numerous models and such, meaning those movies that are just spectacle, fights, death and women are easier to make. And are also easier to pass off as something professional and good quality, at least in the past cheap effects mashups usually looked pretty bad -insert Giant Claw reference here-

So films like Avatar or Transformers are basically just the 21st century versions of films like Tarantula, the 70s King Kong and exploitation cinema (just instead of gore they use explosions).

The bigger issue with modern cinema to me is the lack of creativity, yes there are new films being made, and some of them are great, but the number of sequels and remakes, or films based on a media that already exists like Superhero films, 80s shows (Transformers, GI Joe, the Smurfs, TMNT), old stories like Pocahontas, Fairy Tales (there have been a lot of these recently) and so on. I'm not saying what comes out of these are always bad, but they can easily turn bad and do show a lack of ideas in modern cinema.

Still there are a lot of movies that have come out in the last few years that were good whether they were original or not, some which I've seen like Coraline, Django Unchained, The Cabin in the Woods, The Dark Knight, The Hobbit and so on and others I've heard are great, Black Swan, Inception, Life of Pi etc

And there are a lot of movies that people said were great which I disagree on, Avatar and Prometheus being the two that I'd personally say I like the least in comparison with praise given

Also extremos, I'm interesting in why you say Men in Black II and 3 were good, but didn't count the first one, which I personally liked best.
