I think it's more widespread than some might be aware of, which means that the problem is that some aren't even picking up that the way they respond to other questions affect people who want to learn, but aren't going to let themselves be beat up over a side point (JC's posts are particularly at issue, in my mind).

I made a random blog post about the Captain America movie here: http://brandietarvin.livejournal.com/57947.html. I would love to hear other people's opinions.
Note: My post does contain spoilers if you haven't seen the movie yet.
I'm just feeling the superhero vibe today, I guess.

I hope so, but you have me wondering... I show it as "upcoming"... are you seeing it somewhere?

I'm talking about the first movie in the reboot with the new actors. The next one is indeed still "upcoming". I was asking because there's a great parallel between a scene near the end of Captain America and at the beginning of Star Trek. There's even a gif set that illustrates this very well. I don't want to be spoilery and go into too much detail if people haven't seen either one.

I did see the reboot and I did enjoy it... somewhat... The Spock business at the end seemed a little fan-wank to me. Though I did like the new character interactions, and the fact that Uhura was an actual person instead of a sex-symbol communications center.

If you watch the original series again, you'll notice that, though still not as strong as the new Uhura, she was far more than just a sex-symbol communications center. There's a scene in particular that I'm thinking of where they're all trying to repair the bridge and Uhura is kneeling under the console fixing circuit boards and being ultra-competant and Spock tells her he has the utmost confidence in her.
Oh, and I mentioned why I was asking in my previous post. Did you catch that scene similarity?

I saw both movies at the movie theater, a long time ago, so I'm racking my memory... Are you talking about Dad? Or Spock's initial "journey"?
Or did I miss the reference all together?

I'm talking about how dad saves everyone from the Romulans at the beginning and how Cap saves NY from Hydra at the end.
Sorry if that is spoilery.

Dad was the strongest connection I could make, but I wasn't sure if that was what you were referring to. Actually, just looking at the scene structure (forgetting about the offscreen peeps being "rescued"), I could also make a reference to Serenity. Hollywood seems to have a penchant for that particular mechanism lately.

I appreciate you being gentle about it AC, but that quote is from me guys. I was talking with Orlando and Gail about how I understood deletion mechanics around a discussion about underfilled pages and fragmentation definitions. While it was meant as a combination of both humor and an acknowledgement I'd oversimplified, what, in particular, do you see wrong with that statement, not taken out of context?
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I don't see the problem with that... which might be the problem. Now, if I threatened to tie someone ELSE to the whipping stool... well, I'd see your point.

Craig, I read the "Devil" comment to refer to the evil commenters who make people post things like "please don't flame" and "put me over the whipping stool". I don't think it was meant for you.
But I have a history of misreading things in my haste to get through the posts.

Brandie, It looks like Craig's comment was taken out of context. The person he was talking about being put over the whipping stoool was himself, not someone else.

Well, in the original context of Craig's comment, I'm one of the people who 'made' him post about the whipping stool, since it was mostly three of us tossing terms and definitions around in that particular thread.
