Seeking female writers

[EmilyMiller]

You are looking particularly intelligent today, Emily. For a natural blonde that is.

That’s so kind of you, Emily.

Your E is very, letterific.

Without Morena, Firefly wouldn't have been half as entertaining. I didn't like the movie though, it was... retarded.

What didn’t you like about the movie? Aside from Wash and Book?

Well, I really don't like when movies break the most basic laws of physics, and not even in a SciFi way. It means that either the director is that dumb and doesn't understand most basic things, or he/she thinks we are that dumb and we will just believe it.
For example, the scene where the small karate girl is left with big monsters and she starts jump-kicking them with all of her 50 kilograms(in your face!), and then their 100 kilograms fly and crash into a wall, but apparently the law of action and reaction doesn't work and she doesn't go flying twice as fast into the opposite wall, but just lands on the ground. That silly man Isaac Newton and his ridiculous laws.
There are more examples although I don't remember the specifics, as I have seen that movie ages ago, but I remember groaning while I watched it. The movie's success was mostly based on the success of the show IMO.

...really?

There's no other word you could possibly have selected here?

It’s because she’s really a Terminator. Didn’t you know?

FWIW I like seeing small girls beat up big guys (or reavers) - my kinda fun.

I thought it was the best fitting one, although my impression was formed like 15 years ago.

Who doesn't! That is why I like when it's done right

I have scar tissue across my right knuckles from beating up a big guy. Well thumping him in the face once.

“They tell you, never hit a man with a closed fist, but it is, on occasion, hilarious”

Or you are super pissed.

How far did he fly from that punch?

Uh huh.

Just checking. It's not a word that's appreciated the way it was like 15 years ago, just FYI.

 

[EmilyMiller]

About as far as a guy would from being shot with a shot gun .

I am not sure I am following. I thought you were saying that I was too harsh towards the movie, yet now I feel you are telling me I am using a non PC term? Retarded is a pejorative term in my eyes and the one I would never use on a person with impaired development. I am using it the way I would use "idiot" or "moron" for example. Both of these terms used to be formal medical terms, but thankfully, not anymore, and together with most of other people, I use them for regular people who do stupid things.

 

[Voboy]

Retarded is a pejorative term in my eyes...

Yes. That's what I'm saying. It's offensive in other peoples'. Where I grew up, it's on a par with the N word.

Maybe you don't know that? I mean, say what you like. But it's not 1977 anymore, lol. Acceptability changes.

Is it too late for me to say Red Dwarf is way better than Battlestar Galactica

 

[AlinaX]

I like the early stuff.

 

[holliday1960]

Wow. This thread just proves how truly bored I am. Think I'll go stick pins in a wax-doll or sumpthin'. Toss a little cemetery dirt and mummified rooster feet on someone's doorstep...

The important thing is that you contributed, hun.

They're sure very different. I've not seen much BSG but Red Dwarf at its best is brilliant. Only half of it is good, though.

Queeg...
