Lord Liaden Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's the "could of/would of/should of" that always irks me. Symptomatic of a generation that doesn't read as much, so it spells things according to the sound. Burrito Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zslane Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Literacy is less important to a generation that enthusiastically reduces all of their deepest thoughts to what can fit into 140 characters, and that has come to believe that anything that can't fit into an easily-typed hashtag, it isn't worth knowing or talking about.

Sadly true in too many cases. There have been studies that show younger people are less capable of interacting personally with people as well because they are so unused to face-to-face conversations and picking up or even delivering facial clues and expressions to demonstrate meaning.

zslane Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 #IfYouSaySo You see? By reducing communication to a barely decipherable tag, there is no actual exchange of ideas. I essentially said: "Group A is becoming semi-literate through their enthusiastic use of excessively limited communication methods." The statement: "Completely unrelated, highly-literate Group B can, with sufficient effort and determination, communicate effectively with these same excessively limited communication methods," while true, does not refute my assertion. In fact, it doesn't even address it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Wow, this thread mutation is X-Men-level. (Yes, I'm aware I contributed to it.) I shall make a transparent and unapologetic attempt to drag it back on topic. I've heard and read a number of raves from critics/reviewers who have seen the concept art for the Dr. Strange movie, particularly the "sizzle reel" Marvel put together for Comic Con. Reportedly the studio is really pushing the envelope for visuals, particularly of other dimensions. That together with a so-far-announced stellar cast has me really excited. (I freely admit Strange has always been one of my favorite comic-book characters, and the unique visuals of his milieu are no small part of that.)

Christopher R Taylor Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Dr Strange is going to take some pretty amazing visuals and writing to make it work. I love the character but I'm concerned they don't get magic or the idea. With Iron Man 3, they started being more concerned about making a great film instead of a great comic book film, and have been rewarded for it.
