Quote from: "King Krypton"
I've been criticizing the bashers who've been tearing this thing apart ever since it was made clear that Welling wasn't going to change his mind about playing Superman. If you choose not to believe that there's been constant naysaying and attacks on this movie, that's your problem.


Post a link to someone bashing, and then I will believe you.

I hate that this thread is called "More Pics of Routh as Superman".

 Cheesy

Everytime I see there is a new post, I hesitate to read it because my brain is saying --"Why would you want to look at more pics of Routh as Superman?"

I fail to see how DC Comics, AICN, SHH!, The Kryptonian, and other such sites qualify as "mystery" sites. I do agree about the "Iron Age losers" comment, though.

However, if there's anything I've learned from both fan and personal experience, it's that the power of stupid people in large groups isn't to be underestimated. An old axiom, but a sadly accurate one.

I don't get it, why should we care about what they say again?

Why do you even go to those sites in the 1st place? I don't see the point.

Some of the sites are sources of information on the film (set pics, articles, etc.), so they serve purpose in that capacity.

The feedback on said information...well, that's another thing entirely.

Do yourself a favor and skip the feedback, then.

I have the same issue with "Newsarama"...an occasionally useful site if you don't follow up the articles by reading every Tom, Dick and Harry's useless opinions posted at the end.  I'm all for the great things the internet has brought us as far as blogging, message boards, etc but the downside is that now everyone thinks their opinion is needed, and worth hearing, on every stupid little thing that gets written anywhere.  And once it's posted, in a way it carries as much weight as the article itself ("Hey, look!  I've been published!").  I used to enjoy occasionally reading letters to the editor in the local paper because people are so insane, but at least they had to go to the trouble of typing a letter and buying a stamp, which kept out a lot of the true loonies.  Now any goofball with a keyboard and 30 seconds to spare will put in his two cents on any old thing, and the net result, really, has been a mountain of content on the Web with maybe about 1 tenth of 1 percent of it being of any value whatever.

Anyway, I think all these opinions are suspect.  It's easier to criticize than to praise; if you're enthusiastic people make fun of you but if you're critical it makes you seem more "worldly" and sardonic.  This is the same principle behind most movie critics; they think they sound "smarter" bashing a film, so that's what they do.  In other words, the "opinions" people give at these sites may be nothing of the kind; it may just be mere posturing and puffery based on what they think smart people are supposed to sound like. And there are also always the guys who say something just to upset everyone.  It may or may not be what they truly believe, but it's enough to stir the stick and that's all they want.

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone's opinion is as valid as everyone else's.  Further, very few people's opinion on most things matters one whit anyway.  Just read the news and skip the rest.  I know from running a site myself that providing the ability to leave feedback is just a trick to keep people coming back and keep those page hits high.  The webmaster doesn't care how stupid they are, just so they keep coming back.
