John wick - A step to far

[Uncle Petey]

lol maybe it's because he never said that

 

[FoxEye]

Great film. Don't really have a bad word to say about it. Really looking for JW 2.

A triad leader's son kills Wick's new dog, whilst walking around Chinatown. Chinese food was his dead wife's favourite. Wick vows to kill all Chinese looking people whilst looking extremely puzzled in every shot.

I seriously don't think JW needs a sequel

 

[ttaskmaster]

Insulted/offended? No, but I'm sure ttaskmaster knows better and will be back to tell me what I think.

Man, even *I* can't figure out what you're thinking...!!

Clearer now?

Not really... from how it reads, you're taking his joke toward me to be a reiteration of something he said to you, which you don't recognise as a valid complete over-the-top response within the context of a thread about complete over-the-top responses and somehow figure there's an issue that needs answering, as well as an out-of-context remark that requires a severe dressing down... or something.

I got a joke from the remark. That's all.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Ok, so you don't get it. At least we're clear on that.

Even *you*. lol

 

[ttaskmaster]

Ok, so you don't get it. At least we're clear on that.

I get the joke.
I don't get how you wouldn't see it's a joke, follow his thread, pick up on the irony or simply see that he's just messing around.

Why so serious?
As mentioned, you seem to be picking a fight when there is none.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Look, it's been explained to you twice now.

 

[ttaskmaster]

Look, it's been explained to you twice now.

You got upset because he didn't understand someone else's love of something, then got further upset because you didn't undestand the context of the joke made from plagiarising a film reference, before further kicking off when he re-plagiarised the quote (but this time far funnier) even when it was not aimed at you... that's what you've explained.
That's from revisiting your own explanation, by the way.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Er, no. I understood the context of the film reference - which I already told you a while ago.
You just keep sticking with that theory because it helps your argument and you're very selective about which parts you read and/or respond to.

If anyone's made this into a drama, it's you with the need to act like I'm making this into a massive issue because you simply don't get what I'm saying when it's stated clearly.
Of course, if you keep making out I'm really upset, it strengthens your point, right?

Like most internet squabbles, this is now more about 'winning' and point scoring than it is about clarification.

Are we done now?

ED: Just to further clarify, the crux of your argument is based on your presumption that I didn't get the sledgehammer reference. This is not the case.
I've seen the bloody film three times. I got it.

 

[ttaskmaster]

You just keep sticking with that theory because it helps your argument and you're very selective about which parts you read and/or respond to.

Actually, that's not the crux of my argument. My assertion is that you don't get how it does fit into the context of this thread (not that it even has to anyway, although that's what makes it a joke to begin with, but never mind...) and are kicking off over that.

If anyone's made this into a drama, it's you with the need to act like I'm making this into a massive issue because you simply don't get what I'm saying when it's stated clearly.

I merely said the joke made sense.
You then decided to re-rant about dogs and loving dogs and how you were talking about something else (which was the same thing but said different, so clearly something else) despite having not made that clear to begin with, and how it's not in the right context for this thread and wah wah wah.... while also claiming it's not a massive issue.

Of course, if you keep making out I'm really upset, it strengthens your point, right?

He made a joke. Some of us laughed. You raised the issue and given how vehemently you're still arguing, I think you really are more upset than you're willing to admit... or there's some underlying issue. I dunno. Maybe someone killed your dog, but you can't remember where you stashed your tools...

Like most internet squabbles, this is now more about 'winning' and point scoring than it is about clarification.

Winning?
I didn't even know there was a prize...

Just to further clarify, the crux of your argument is based on your presumption that I didn't get the sledgehammer reference.

Not quite... My initial statement was something to that effect. But even that part leads to the actual argument - How the joke is perfectly within the context of the thread and how that's what makes it a joke in the first place.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Oh ffs... Ranting about loving dogs and blah blah? Quote those posts please.

I'm "vehemently still arguing" because you keep quoting me and continue to invent **** on my behalf because you're one of those people that don't listen and then go on to add extra dramatic inflection that never existed because it makes your argument look better in your own head at least.

But apparently, I'm the one that's really upset, ranting and kicking off.

I'm done with you. You don't understand what's been said and continue to twist the situation beyond all recognition.

 

[ttaskmaster]

Oh ffs... Ranting about loving dogs and blah blah? Quote those posts please.

I'd go on a rampage of revenge over the dog alone.A heartless scumbag that's happy and willing to do that deserves everything they get and then some.

If any slight offence was caused, it was with your comment about how "People need to get over themselves. It's just a dog" because you don't get why someone might go ape**** and want revenge.

At least you understand that you don't understand. Maybe you should get over yourself.

So you're getting upset because someone else, quite legitimately, didn't share your love of dogs and made the same remark I'd make about people who dedicate their lives to, say, collecting stamps...

Who said anything getting bloody revenge for insulting someone's pet, except you (for the second time)?

Does someone else have to say so for him to joke about it?

It doesn't make sense when the original context is someone stamping your dog to death and you wanting to take revenge.

In a thread about overly-violent responses, that's why it's such a joke. That is the context.

you're one of those people that don't listen and then go on to add extra dramatic inflection that never existed because it makes your argument look better in your own head at least.

I liked the joke... sorry that causes you offense!!

But apparently, I'm the one that's really upset, ranting and kicking off.

I thought what he said was fine and funny... you started lecturing on how it's not fine or funny, not within the context of the thread, and all that... sounds pretty upset to me.

I'm done with you. You don't understand what's been said and continue to twist the situation beyond all recognition.

I understand what's been said, but I only work with what you give me. I think what you're trying to say is perhaps different... but beyond that, I'm not so fussed. I thought it was funny, you want to lecture on how it's not... that's all that's left.

 

[Uncle Petey]

If you're going to go to the effort of multi-quoting to make your point, at least put both sides of the conversation.

I guess that would detract from the spin you're trying to put on things.

Here you go, I'll save you the effort.

PART ONE

It's only a dog. I buy the wife connection may than I buy killing people over a dead dog.

Guess you don't have a dog.

If that happened to my dog and I possessed the skills of Mr Wick, I'd do the same as him.

But yeah, it's a little more about the connection in this case.

Never understood dog lovers. It's just a dog. Get over yourselves

At least you understand that you don't understand.

Maybe you should get over yourself.

Alright, alright, don't come and shoot me just because I insulted your dog.

Maybe if you stamped her to death I might... Dunno about insulted though.

PART TWO

Meh. I have a cat. I think I'd manage to resist murder if someone bumped her off.

But anyway... Watch the film. It's great.

Yeah, but cats are generally evil little buggers who either thoroughly deserve it, or who started the trouble in the first place!!

I say this having grown up with several cats myself, owned a couple and known many other people's... it's quite rare to find an innocent cat!!

How dare you insult cats!

Now, where's my sledgehammer. Brb.

Who said anything getting bloody revenge for insulting someone's pet, except you (for the second time)?

Good grief, lighten up!

I can take a joke that makes sense.

It does make sense. That was a reference to John Wick going and getting a sledgehammer to crack open his vault of weapons and coins to go get revenge...

It doesn't make sense when the original context is someone stamping your dog to death and you wanting to take revenge. Not wanting to do it just because they called your dog a ****.
Yes, I got the reference, but that wasn't the part I was referring to...

And yes, I know it was a joke. It just a crap one. Well, two actually.

You then go to tell me that there is no other part to his post. Somehow, you only read the part about the sledghammer and how I 'clearly didn't get it' this is where it started between you and I, and since then - despite it being explained clearly - you've tried to save face by relying on trying to dramatise my side of things.

I've already told you what the part I was referring to is - it's the same repeated part in my original conversation with Von regarding the change from killing to insulting that makes no sense as a reply, even as a joke.
That's all this is about, and it was over until you couldn't accept my explanation becase you believed I didn't understand a reference.

I don't see the part about me lecturing anyone about it either. Perhaps you missed that quote?

This whole thing didn't get blown out of proportion until you kicked off after not being able to accept my reply to you. Yes, you.

 

[ttaskmaster]

If you're going to go to the effort of multi-quoting to make your point, at least put both sides of the conversation.

I wasn't going to bother at all, actually, but you did ask nicely...!

I guess that would detract from the spin you're trying to put on things.

What spin?

Part 1:
He doesn't care if you like dogs and says as much.
You get a little about touchy about this.
He makes a joke at you, in reference to the film.

Part 2:
In a completely separate interaction, I make fun of his cats.
He makes a joke at me, in reference to the film.
You take issue with his joking at me.
We continue to see it as a joke.
You start off on one about the context.

That is what you yourself just posted, there.

You then go to tell me that there is no other part to his post.

.......... you're upset because he was joking at me instead of you???!!!

That part had nothing to do with you any more. He was talking to me. How is it your problem if he jokes at me?
*I* insulted his cats, *I* was the target of that joke, *I* had a laugh and we got on with our day. Now you want to make it all about you again?

Somehow, you only read the part about the sledghammer and how I 'clearly didn't get it'

And you still don't, because he wasn't talking to you at that point. Anything regarding you in your "Part 1" there was over and done, nothing to do with his funny comment to me.

despite it being explained clearly

Because by having a mock crack at me, he is CLEARLY picking at you, yeh?
That's how you're making it out...

you've tried to save face by relying on trying to dramatise my side of things.

No face to save - We had a laugh, you took umbrage.

I've already told you what the part I was referring to is - it's the same repeated part in my original conversation with Von regarding the change from killing to insulting that makes no sense as a reply, even as a joke.

And yet again, I say it makes perfect sense. I get it, he gets it, several other posters got it... over to you.

That's all this is about, and it was over until you couldn't accept my explanation becase you believed I didn't understand a reference.

You don't understand the context of it. You said exactly that yourself, in your own words... I promise you, it makes sense.

I don't see the part about me lecturing anyone about it either. Perhaps you missed that quote?

You just quoted it yourself, dude!!!!!!!!!
"It doesn't make sense when the original context is someone stamping your dog to death and you wanting to take revenge. Not wanting to do it just because they called your dog a ****"

This whole thing didn't get blown out of proportion until you kicked off after not being able to accept my reply to you. Yes, you.

You're trying to tell me what is and isn't a joke - Damn right I don't accept that, especially from someone who accuses me of trying to tell you what you think. Bit hypocritical of you, there... Yes, YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

 

[Uncle Petey]

And there go again with the spin doctor crap.

You don't get it and are hell bent on being right. You're not, but believe what you want.
Seriously, you're going on about me being upset, but look at the effort you're going to.

I'm going to the trouble of multiquoting all of that crap just to unravel your mistaken BS.

LOL at you still going on about the cat joke and me not getting it

 

[ttaskmaster]

And there go again with the spin doctor crap.

Eh?
You just quoted everything. It's plain as day. No spin is even required.

You don't get it and are hell bent on being right. You're not, but believe what you want.

Seems to be more the approach you're taking, there, but carry on...
Whatever it is you think I don't get, all you've demonstrated and proven is merely that you're getting your knickers in a personal twist over something he threw at me...

Seriously, you're going on about me being upset, but look at the effort you're going to.

I'm busy transferring files at work. Nothing else doing and I can't go anywhere until the transfer finishes, so I'm messing about online.

I'm going to the trouble of multiquoting all of that crap just to unravel your mistaken BS.

In doing so, you're just reiterating your own drama.

LOL at you still going on about the cat joke and me not getting it

He was replying to me, not you. That's what you're not getting. It's nothing to do with you.
You also don't get the context of the joke, but again, not my problem.

 

[Vonhelmet]

Stop! Stop! I'm sorry!

 

[Uncle Petey]

Von, I tried...

The guy has lost the plot and still thinks I don't get it Broken frigging record or what?

 

[Captain]

This thread has turned into an absolute joke!

 

[ttaskmaster]

The guy has lost the plot and still thinks I don't get it

You said yourself that you don't... *shrug*

 

[Uncle Petey]

No, you've misread it along with a lot of other stuff.

Anyway, I'm out. This is ridiculous and you're not going to hear anything that doesn't agree with what you think.
