But thanks for the recognition to this, his humble followers.
All kidding aside about how gratuitously deplorable (hell, even switch those two and the meaning fits) Jean-Claude's original movies were (not counting his first, of course), the fact remains that he ought to have received at least some recognition for his "JCVD."

Besides, Starrman had already stated the obvious so I didn't feel compelled to repeat what we wrote.

Where's the rest of this sentence? You're missing a clause.
You don't feel compelled to repeat "what we wrote"? You mean "he" right? Or did you mean you don't feel compelled to restate the ideas Starrman and you already stated? Your English is ambiguous and incorrect.
Originally posted by Palynka By calling me a douchebag? LOL! I guess you should try harder next time. As for my supposed insult, I just told you to not be stupid. It's a shame you didn't follow my advice.

In this last humorous line you actually highlight how any statement of opinion in a debate would fit such a definition of propaganda.
The only reason anyone would then label opinion as "propaganda" is simply for the purpose of using loaded language (i.e. appealing to emotion). It seems obvious to me that the washing down of what propaganda consists on is then just a result of such tactics. For example, I think nobody sane would consider Avatar as propaganda on the same level as Triumph of the Will (to quote the most obvious example of film as part of propaganda). Yet this is what people like ATY try to convey when they label opinion as propaganda.

His soliloquy was riveting.
Joke aside, if you munch some French I'd recommend checking
his interviews*. He's way more clever and funny that what you'd
expect from a highly successful martial artist covered in muscles.
Bloodsport and JCVD are, indeed, his cinematic legacy for future
generations.

I also don't see any danger of it "dying out". There are more independent releases today than ever before. Developments in technology have made it easier and easier for an average person to be able to have some end product and the boom in shorts is a clear t ...[text shortened]... ncomparably better than 2010 or Independence Day or many other blockbusters, in my opinion.

Originally posted by Palynka It's called colloquialism.
"By calling me a douchebag?" is not a colloquialism. Colloquialisms are common phrases and words that are not technically correct. "By calling me a douchebag" is not equivalent to "y'all" or "there's more than one way to skin a cat." The latter two are colloquialisms because they are common phrases.

Beginning sentences with "and" is incorrect.
All these are products of using colloquial language, which is obviously quite appropriate here. You need to try harder. I do a lot of mistakes when I type fast, so they shouldn't be hard to find.

Yawn. The structure of the sentence is what qualifies as colloquial (in this particular case).

You just assert and assert and assert. You really should be aware that assertions without support mean almost nothing.

Oh, I get it. When you use incorrect English it's colloquial. That's why you think you're always using correct English - you define away your mistakes!

Why are you still responding to me? You wrote:
