The Perfect UD in the Perfect World...

Post by Timon/Pumbaa fan »

Well, after reading lots of threads recently, with the chat going away for drastic reasons, me arguing with 2 certain members currently, a whole thread arguing about the slipcover flap for Lady and the Tramp, I've noticed it's gotten a lot of negativity recently. So, here's the idea for the thread: if UD was perfect, what would it be like?

So here are just 10 ways it would be better:

1. We would not argue in a whole thread why The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride got a open flap on its slipcover, while Lady and the Tramp didn't.

2. Prince Eric will learn other people have different opinions on movies.

3. Lazario will learn his opinion is NOT always right.

4. People who own the Song of the South LD will give out copies of DVDs for free.

5. We will not argue which is better: Crash or Brokeback Mountain. Apparently, there will never be a specific answer.

6. We will not have any arguements in the Polls and Games section.

7. The chat room will return and remain "unhidden".

8. Escapay will watch more Spongebob.

9. Pals will include more on his "What are you Buying?" polls.

10. I will learn to not make such pointless threads on UD like this one.

11. There would be news about Canadian Stores, DVDs and give-a-ways.
12. There would be no pointless bumping of old threads (although I do admit I do that myself)
13. People would look at the FAQ
14. People would use the search button
15. We would talk more about TV shows in-depth (Like The Office, and BL :wink: )
16. Fewer Slipcover threads
17. Pals (and everybody & anybody else) would stop complaining
18.No more posts in the DISNEYLAND - THE SECRETS, STORIES AND MAGIC OF THE
HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH thread untill there is some REAL news.
19. Everyone would have a chance to do a review
20. Secret Santa participants would never try to cheat out others (DG :headshake: )
21. There would be more CD and Book reviews
22. Polls & Games would count in post counts again. :P
23. There would be more interviews with Disney related persons
24. More replies in response to From the Balcony @ Movies.com :P
25. New Avatars whould be added to the gallery

26. There would be only one single topic on one single subject (i.e. Slipcovers, "Will there be a Little Mermaid Gift set?")

You know, I'd probably agree with you on all those points, but it is arguing in them that keeps me coming back :)

Then going away for 6 months, then coming back again :p

28. Fewer slipcovers, period.
29. Escapay will watch Spongebob only to understand the "I'm spiraling!" joke, then quit watching it forever and ever.
30. Age won't be a factor in whether or not someone judges a movie being good or bad.
31. People can have an opinion about a movie they've seen without having to own the movie.
32. Slipcovers will just disappear forever so there doesn't have to be a love or hate for them.
33. orestes. would come back because we're all worried about him.
34. Ditto Sunset Girl.
35. Bill would let the :roll: take a break and start using the :D so people who don't understand some of his dry wit won't be offended.
36. Aaron would see what it's like to not have Amy in his Avatar.
37. Then he'd put her back again.
38. Escapay would have enough money to buy every DVD he wants.
39. So would everyone else.
40. Lee would finally start posting.
41. Everyone has to agree that Escapay is the most awesome guy in the universe and as such should be referred to as "His Royal Majesty, King Albert"
42. Okay, forget #41.
43. Everyone would read the UD reviews and leave a comment, but only I get to give dancing elephants.

Here's another one:

You know...there are some very non-stupid episodes of Spongebob that do not involve that particular (very) lame joke...I can make some recommendations if necessary.

I'm the biggest enemy that mindless Nickelodeon crap ever had (those Rugrats seriously need to go...both the baby ones AND the "growed up" ones), and Spongebob Squarepants is seriously the funniest show I've seen since MST3K went off the air. Granted, I'm not a fan of modern sitcom humor, so perhaps my taste in humor is a bit different. But I assure you, I do not so lightly revel in stupidity as some :wink:

In that case...

45. Escapay has to liquidate his stock of bananas. So he trades them for DVDs...

I hope that people complaining about the <i>Secrets, Stories</i> thread bumps do know that I slipped in some real news among the latest wave of posts. :frog:

And that when I :roll: my eyes at Pals or dvdjunkie or most of the time, anyone, I'm not really mad/upset, I'm just giving them a taste of their eye-rolling medicine or virtually rolling my eyes to virtually exercise them.

But this is turning into a good suggestion thread, to some degree. Though I don't see chat becoming public again as its hidden status has only raised interest from the regulars and kept out the crazies.

Escapay
That just spells trouble for everyone.

A chain reaction starts as a result of Escapay demilitarising his bananas, allowing apes to ultimately take over. I am in the future. I know this thing.

46. Everyone would do this :roll: and maybe Fat America would virtually lose weight from exercise :up: (lol, sorry, but I just watched Supersize Me! this week...I think that's the first time I've used that emoticon...)

I've tried watching Spongebob before, it just was never my cup of tea. Most everything on Nickelodeon these daysis a cesspool of stupidity, so even if there were "non-stupid" episodes of Spongebob, I wouldn't have the willpower to watch the series waiting for them (or waiting for them to air so I can watch them).

Hmm, if Loomis is from the future, then it MUST be true!

I guess I have to keep my bananas then. Or maybe I'll sell them, then use the money to just buy a banana-producing country and call it Albertvania (since Albania's already taken, as is Alberta)
