That blame space vs Timedog thread is up to like 2500 posts.

I really don't understand it. Both users are utterly abysmal and contribute nothing. Is it because they've been around the forum for awhile? Did you have to be posting on GAF back in 2002 to understand why either one of these posters would be held in high regard?

Timedog is actually a really funny guy and a fantastic writer.

Mupepe: Oh no how dare people really enjoy obscure films

I pay attention to most gaf movie threads they don't seem to talk about obscure movies. I agree with Himumumu. All I see is director fanboyism. Like Sculli mocking Terrence Malick claiming Spielberg is better because SPR beat Thin Red Line at the oscars that year and hopes War Horse wins this year just to see him beat Terrence Malick. Fanboy shit like that is all I normally see.

I know good. I watch and figure out good/bad for myself. I've seen enough film, heard enough music and played enough games to have a wide enough selection of influence to draw from. I'm same way about food. I am a bit of a snob, but I don't blog about it or hype things because I know my taste is far removed from others' taste. I rarely ever seek out someone else's opinion because I honestly don't trust many people's opinion.

A movie thread goes like this for me: Before release, I check out the trailer in the OP and ignore most of the thread. If I eventually see it and I have some angles or theories on the film, I will come into the thread to discuss those ideas and see if those ideas have been discussed. Normally, most can't follow where I am going and would rather discuss some actresses's facial expression. So I leave the thread because they're dumbfucks. The End.

So I looked up a few of the older Writing Challenge threads, and... I grudgingly admit that Timedog is a pretty good writer.

Probably the second worst realization I've had in recent years. First was that Kobe Bryant will never be a top 3 player in the NBA again. This is second. Third was probably that nothing we see, feel, or experience will matter at all after we're dead.

Fucking Timedog.

He's got such an off-kilter style to his writing that it's hard to not at least be intrigued by what he writes. His best stuff is arguably better than most anything I've ever submitted to the challenges.

No, I actually know what quality is. The internet disease is to argue over opinion, but quality is not the same as opinion.

is this a case of "I know better than the Internet" because that's kind of arrogant

etiolate · « **Reply #8529 on:** November 03, 2011, 03:37:07 AM »

Me?

Quality and opinion aren't the same.

I have watched a lot of Bones. I may have even liked Bones. I would never say Bones was quality though. It's formulaic and redundant. It has like one thing going for it and nothing else. That one thing (main character chemistry) keeps getting it renewed. I understand this.

There's shit that tickles you right and then there's analyzing shit to see how it measures up. I eat Jack in the Box tacos even though I am not sure what "meat" that is inside. I just like them despite my brain telling me FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Thus, opinion vs quality.

I haven't entered a GAF movie thread in a while and this was a couple of years ago. So I don't know who posts in there anymore. The only thing I ever see is all those threads Expendable makes. and that's enough for me to want to stay away. Anyone who seriously watches multiple movies at one time in pieces is irritating enough for me to ignore them.

And Zephyr, I'm specifically referring to people who dismiss anything big budget and instead tend to define their personality on being unique by naming shit no one has ever heard of.

an example I remember (and around the time I gave up on discussing movies on GAF) was when Inglourious Basterds came out. When it was brought up in the movies you've seen recently thread it was filled with a bunch of "ugh. watch this serious ww2 movie while I continue comparing apples and oranges because obviously IB is trying to be a historically accurate war film". I don't have the fucking patience anymore for people who are either stupid or that disingenuous to honestly compare those movies on false merits just to up their internet movie nerd cred.

ZephyrFate · « **Reply #8536 on:** November 03, 2011, 01:11:17 PM »

I think that's a pretty small contingent of GAF. Most people on GAF love IB and wouldn't shit on it by comparing it to some actually serious WW2 film.

Mupepe · « **Reply #8537 on:** November 03, 2011, 01:15:28 PM »

Well like I said, it was years ago. I don't know who participates in the threads now. It was most likely a combination of GAF "I'm so unique" backlash and the usual dogpile that occurs when a bunch of idiots get on a roll with a shitty opinion and someone decides to speak up.

Considering the idiots who reacted to Eurogamer's UC3 review, I bet they still exist. But I've been in Film-GAF threads of late and it's gotten a bit better.

and i mean everyone

the mods, the members, nobody likes londa

Pretty much. She has a history of overreacting to what people have said to her. She takes 90% of things as a personal attack. I'm surprised the ban hasn't happened sooner in all honesty.
