[QUOTE="Lost Soul, post: 7191385, member: 81242"] No, its not lacking class to call someone out for making the same strawman argument trying to justify putting dunces as guards to a high level VIP. If the President of a country was incapacitated, the other people in line of succession would be protected by the very best that country has to offer, including the president's family so the country could perform during this crisis. If you are just arguing against it without any validation your motives for doing so should be called into question. Should a movie critic not savage acting or writing in a movie if he or she feels it is poorly done and adversely effects the story that is being told? Absolutely, as long as the critic can back up his snark with valid points skewering the movie. The hill giant guards are like a bad line from an Austin Powers movie. Dr. Evil (Giant's Script Writer) "Ok. I've captured Austin Powers. I will detain him with one inept hill giant guard." Scott Evil (Lost Soul) "Why do you do this? Just kill Powers now. You lock him in the room with one inept hill giant guard and he'll escape and ruin our plans. You're an idiot!" Dr. Evil (Giant's Script Writer) "Hello Scott. Who has the script Scott? Who has the Doctorate in Evil here? You? No, of course not. Zip it!" Scott Evil (Lost Soul) " Awh..come on! He'll escape! You..." Dr. Evil (Giant's Script Writer) "Zip it..zzzzip..zip it!" If you want to see the full scene watch Austin Powers "The Spy who shagged me". Its a perfect example of the flawed logic behind this module. No excuse for poor writing and plot. [/QUOTE]
