Most of it was crap. I am highly disappointed. Samuel L Jackson ruined the movie just like Jar Jar Elphanting Binks ruined Star Wars.
I do like Colin Firth, and appreciated his part in the movie. Didn't like the way he died - not dramatic enough for me.
Did anyone here like the movie? I know it has been out for a while now.

It wasn't too bad: take-your-brain-out entertainment, and at least it was funnier than Ted 2 (which was just embarrassing drivel rather than a sequel)
I have no idea why Jackson lisped his way through Kingsman, that spoiled it rather for me. And as a "bond clone" film it had it's funny moments! I liked the "Pomp and Circumstance March Number 1" moment, though the visual special effects were a bit...um...poor for that bit. (Trying not to give anything away, you understand)

I concur. Switch your brain off and enjoy the explosions, etc.
Samuel Jackson was the weakest player, Colin Firth the strongest - brilliant again.
9 out of 10 for action, 8 out of 10 for special effects (extra points because they were a bit surrealistic), 3 out of 10 for actually making sense!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

No, I haven't seen it yet, been waiting for it to be on Netflix, thanks for the spoiler.

 You're welcome, I guess.

Yes. Trying to be funny no doubt, didn't really do it for me.
But for the most part I liked the blend of action and jokes.

I thought it was one of the better movies I've seen lately, but yes, Samuel J was terrible in it.

Don't think he's done a really good bad guy since Pulp Fiction.
Normally a damn fined actor, though.

So I got this in response to my email.
Hey Steven,
Thanks for the reply, but let me help you out here a little bit. No one
"spammed" you.
The word "Spam" as applied to Email means "Unsolicited Bulk Email".
Unsolicited means that the Recipient has not granted verifiable
permission for the message to be sent. Bulk means that the message is
sent as part of a larger collection of messages, all having substantively
identical content. A message is Spam only if it is both Unsolicited and
Bulk.
Unsolicited Email is normal email
(examples: first contact enquiries, job enquiries, sales enquiries)
Bulk Email is normal email
(examples: subscriber newsletters, customer communications, discussion
lists)
When you verifiably requested information on our website, we sent you one
email.
Regardless of the fact that you think it's "silly" that we capture your
information, it is how the majority of companies in our space are able to
sell classes to clients that are actually interested.
Since you are not interested, good luck with everything in your "private"
life.
I'm sure you'll get along just fine...
Cheers,
I was just going to ignore the guy after that. But, I couldn't help myself:
Oh, good job replying.

There was no picture in the reply, I actually typed that
You should let people view course lists and prices without collecting
their information so you can "follow up". I shouldn't get a sales call
just because I was browsing.
You'll find lots of colleges and training sites list course lists,
tuition fees, and all types of information for viewing online. They seem
to do well enough.
In fact, out of all the places I was looking at you're the only one who
got in touch with me. In the past through all my training you're the only
one who hit me with a sales call.

The fact he wrote "Private" life, is like he is insinuating you don't have a private life. This joker is mugging you off big time. Can't you get him in a cage?

I don't think he would do it

I am not sure this guy is worth the time you're spending at it. I wouldn't have brought it on the middle finger level, though, but this is a personal flavor.

My very next email would be me forwarding that to his supervisor.

He's the "Senior Learning Specialist", so I wouldn't know who else to send it to.

Yeah, I'm going to get after it. He's replied again referencing my (outdated) website and calling me a hypocrit because I have a contact form there.

I would.. He's a business and you're the customer. No customer should every be treated that way.
Call the office, ask for someone important, get their email address, and forward them.

Then email this guy back and ask him if his resume is up to date

I got ahold of service, and then I attached him on the complaint email along with our full email thread.
Quote: Sure. I put the thread in order below. I was initially just irritated that
I had to be contacted by a sales person just to find out about the
information there. This guy did a superb job at getting me calmed down and
interested in training.
Not just that he took the time to reply, but that he was a complete dick
about it. Spending energy to be a douche bag on your companies behalf,
rather than spending that energy in any service related fashion. And he
just kept coming back.
Word of mouth advertising doesn't seem to bother him, nor does the
companies image. I suppose you could guess what I would say to anyone I
know if they asked me about training camp....

If he makes the mistake of carrying the conversation further, simply point out that the polite thing to do is to know when to quit, and going beyond that is just arrogance.
