The map in the Marathon: Trojan fan scenario? I'm surprised you know about something so obscure. It was a tough, irritating map, but it provided some pivotal exposition and introduced us to the new Durandal-ish AI. What critics are you talking about? I'll keen-haul them!DHeadshot wrote:Critics originally panned Citizen Kane...VikingBoyBilly wrote:Critics are Always Right. It's the audience that overrates things!
Seriously now, what the hey is so good about that movie? It's ok sure, but I don't walk away from it going 'I have seen something that will change my life!' I don't go 'Wow, such amazing effects, such astounding characters!' It's meh. Pure, unadulterated meh!DHeadshot wrote:Critics originally panned Citizen Kane...VikingBoyBilly wrote:Critics are Always Right. It's the audience that overrates things!
That's exactly how I feel about William Shakespeare! Why is it okay for him to make up words, but it gets bad grades for the rest of us?tulip wrote:I walked away from it going 'I have seen something that will change my life!'
And for mozart it's pretty much the same as mainstream pop: he was popular at his time and I don't like it.
Not quite, but they had many many peers who today are unknown. And there was also 'non classical' music at the time that too has been forgotten. Queen was not unpopular in their heyday, but they were surrounded by and overshadowed by many other acts most of which have fallen by the wayside.VikingBoyBilly wrote:You mean mozart and Ludwig von Bethoven were unpopular?
This in fact demonstrates what hackwork Shakespeare's writing was. We look at it now and go all 'Oh, so classic1 So fancy! So old!' but it's not! It was rude jokes and stories for people who wanted a night out boozing and snacking. The sex jokes never end, the innuendo is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Here's a quote or two for for you:VikingBoyBilly wrote:That's exactly how I feel about William Shakespeare!

reminds me of the book The Catcher In The Rye. i liked it, but the whole thing is just smart-ass remarks and doesn't even have a story. why do they consider that some sort of scolloly classic?Levellass wrote: We look at it now and go all 'Oh, so classic1 So fancy!

You crack me up little buddy!
