BigRed0427 posted:I remember this. The story was they set up this gamejam, someone got some major tv studio to sponsor it and the director was a huge rear end in a top hat, which led to the drama and immediate NDAs from the studio. There was an article on IndieStatik from the perspective of a contract worker for Polaris who discussed a lot of what happened with the GameJam. From said article (had to find it via the Internet archive, since Indie Statik seems to have shut down within the last year or so): "How The Most Expensive Game Jam In History Crashed And Burned In A Single Day posted:JonTron and Zoe butting heads was something I was worried about from the second I saw their team line-up. Tensions were high, and everyone was out of their element, but if any two personalities weren’t going to gel, it was them. And they didn’t, to no one’s surprise, but the pair quickly left to talk in the hall, instead of letting it sour the group dynamic. The second their feet left the competition floor, however, something happened that I didn’t expect: cameras. Cameras from every angle and direction, marching in to the discussion as someone started feeding the fight with inflammatory comments, and all of it filmed for what would likely be some of that legal “misrepresentation.” Zoe was horrified.

To be frank, I do seem to remember that the post was more on the grounds of "I don't know why so much folk are standing for her, given that I was with her and she wasn't that good looking to seduce folk"

I know that you're going to defend it in some way and I know that I shouldn't respond to you because you're a bigger piece of poo poo than Jon is but at least now you know a little more, even though you'll just refute it.

There's nothing to really defend on his part because you haven't proven that what you said is true and if you're gonna say someone did something really lovely like that, it's best to have proof they said it. I'm fairly certain you could find a saved archive of him retweeting that if you really wanted.

I wouldn't understand why anyone who's reasonable would? If he supported that, it's a lovely thing of him to do and support. But you gotta prove it he did it, which is completely reasonable. I've seen enough goons post lies or misrepresentations about what people say here to know not to believe any of it without definitive proof and I'd assume anyone with sense would do the same.

The Vosgian Beast posted:I think you're letting behind the scenes horror stories affect your judgement. Epic Movie is an unfunny 90 minute "comedy" movie which uses references and had no originality to it. To Boldly Flee is a 210 minute unfunny "Comedy movie" with subplots that go nowhere, scenes that are exact duplicates of other scenes that we have seen in this "movie", scenes that are stolen whole hog from better movies, which has no original characters, and an editor who was unwilling to cut any footage out, and a movie where most of the characters do not matter in the end. Doug's review of the Friedberg/Seltzer movies is really rich, since he makes the same film-making mistakes they do, and goes even further in his own unoriginality.

For who wants to know Thread favorite Mike J started a new "week on" earlier this week. This one's about the juice diet! Sure, its only tangentially related to internet criticism, but I just wanted to mention it to point out how well the handheld camera vlogs really add to the "found-footage" feel of the whole thing. What I'm saying is if things don't go full itchy-tasty by day 6 I will be sorely disappointed.

This one's about the juice diet! Watching the juicing of the oranges, and there is a lot of fiber not going into the juice. He talks about only having a glass of juice for lunch, that's where fiber could come in, taking up some stomach space and making you feel full. I still feel Juicing diets are a croc of poo poo. MikeJ is in for an interesting week.

I know that Dark Knight and Skyfall both have the whole thing of the bad guy letting himself get captured but it is so totally not the same drat movie. If you want to compare Skyfall to anything the best comparison is Home Alone
