But that is not a stereotype, it's simply a correct observation based on empirical data. Everyone I know, and I know a lot of people who are seriously into movies, even a few who are professional directors themselves, thought the idea was so horrible so they just crunched when it became reality. Like DW points out, it cannot work because of the inbuild limits in current computer games. When you mentioned stereotypes, I thought you also meant that his movies contained immoral, degrading or discriminating stereotypes that were in some way harmful to human life. However, seing it's only about giving a really bad idea of how to make really bad movies a bad name, then I think it's really a parody

Also...I've usually used smiley's when trying to be funny, in fact in the past 6 months to a year I've almost always done it that way. Furthermore a long diatribe disagreeing with DW should have been enough to know that I wasn't joking, especially considering how much longer you've been in SYM than me. I don't buy it when you say you didn't know.
Honestly Siberys, no offence, but sometimes I find your reasoning so strange and off so I wonder whether you are joking, or really don't get it or is a completely diffent species. But that's another discussion, so let's leave it.
