What do they do so wrong?
: TL;DR second at the bottom.
Only the people that are stupid enough to take trolls seriously, actually get mass butt hurt and provide a great source of teh lulz to those clever enough to spot a troll. Trolls bring life into forums everywhere, stirring mass flame wars over something to stupid to be possibly taken seriously. If you spot a troll, don't argue with it, that means the troll wins and gets teh lulz. If a troll thread is recognized for what it is, and people don't post on the thread, the thread dies, and is never seen again...
The only real problem is when you present a genuine argument, usually an anti-drug one, and people get sooo much butt hurt they can't do anything except classify it as a troll thread (because only trolls can deliver butt hurt to junkies) and they delete it, then they can go on with their life on the run. Why does every website, from Yahoo Answers! to CTRL+ALT+DEL forums, from RS Forums to Newgrounds Forums, completely fail to distinguish troll from non-troll? Always classifying real threads as troll threads, and in-your-face-obvious troll threads as valid arguments?
TL;DR People suck at finding troll threads all over the world, so real threads get deleted while troll threads reach "at least 100" pages.
I think I'll answer my own question: Troll threads that cause butt hurt are easy to argue with, because they aren't meant to be valid arguments. Genuine arguments that cause butt hurt are harder to argue with, because it is much easier to post "OBVIOUS TROLL IS OBVIOUS" than to post something meaningful and actually try to debunk the opposition's opposition.

Not the kind of troll that flames people, but the kind of troll that's such a douche that it's hilarious to see them flamed. That's how I do it, how I'm getting flamed.
...and it's generating epic lulz...
I saw another movie one week before it's release: Starwars Clone Wars. The movie seems to be geared more towards children as it skips the scrolling wall of text in the beginning customary to Starwars movies, and replaces it with a dramatic, over-the-top narrator who tries to make things sound as action-packed as they are. The comedic relief is frequent and funny, but it seems to take away from the dark atmosphere the Clone Wars were given in the other movies.
If you are a Starwars fan, I highly recommend you watch this. It's a great hour and a half of your life well spent. Although after watching it, I felt a compelling urge to play Republic Commando...
This is a good movie to get on DvD or Blu-Ray when it comes out.

Why'd they try to make Conker so realistic looking? He looks much better in his low-polygon, cartoony bright expressive 64-bit model. Why mess with perfection?
Also, why not a sequel? Why a remake? It could have just stood to be the pinnacle of N64 awesomeness. But no, they had to port it to the Xbox and make it prettier.
: I mean really... I thought Conker would've looked so much better in the remake...

The only way to end such a war, was to find a way to make supplies enough for the overpopulated world. This was achieved in 2591 through the help of the Galactic Mining And Resource Corporation, or GMARC (pronounced "mark") , who's great scientific accomplishments had paved the way to terraformers that can change the atmosphere of an entire world to fit human needs, and led to the invention of the antimatter warp drive, that can bend time and space allowing a vessel to travel at speeds over 770x the speed of light. With these inventions, mankind has inhabited 5 of the 9 planets in the solar system, providing space and comfort as Mother Earth becomes a frozen, deserted wasteland devoid of humans. The GMARC still provides most of the United World's resources, by mining it from the vast new discovered galaxy called Phalysterium.
Dispatched to this galaxy, are vast, gargantuan vessels with room to hold 100s of thousands of crew members, family members, technical staff, miners, shop keepers and many more. These ships are practically metropolises that are meant for the sole purpose of having a comfortable, temporary colony to mine for resources in the new galaxy. There are currently only 3 of these ships in existence, as the cost the company fortunes to build. They are called Citistations (SI TI STA SHUNS)
In 2671, one of these gigantic vessels, known as The Gnosus, went missing and after spending millions searching for it, GMARC had given up and lost a multi-trillion dollar asset. But just recently, for unknown reasons, it has miraculously reappeared on the edge of the Milky Way, billions of light years away from any colonized planet. Because all attempts to communicate with the vessel have failed, they send in their team of engineers to try to establish an uplink from Gnosus to GMARC HQ. They are assisted by 2 B-6 class battle droids, in case if the Gnosus is under control of a hostile entity. You are Executive William Powell, leader of countless successful consecutive mining operations all across the new galaxy, and to assist you, Executive Gerald Gargoshki, former master petty officer of the United World's Space Navy.
