Libluini posted:Ah, the Irate Gamer. I've tried watching him once, and decided to go back trying to read Gormenghast and Night Land. Yes, he is that boring I wonder if Chris Boring saw the massive bile people have for Doug right now and thought "But that's my spotlight!" I did fail to finish the Night Land. Everybody who talks about that book says that the original is terribly written and that somebody else redid it and made it better. Maybe I'll give that version a shot sometime. Vanderdeath posted:Seriously. I liked Titus Groan but to act like anything past that book is undeniably good is a weird hill to die on. Titus Alone was meandering and dull in a way that makes it a bore to get through. You're right about Titus Alone. What do you have against Gormenghast?

Annointed posted:He was too loving lazy to trim the skull mask image. Can't find it now, but I remember Lindsay tweeting, back when the NC Mad Max """""review""""" came out-- something along the lines of "I just want to take him aside and tell him, you know, you can use [some term I can't remember, but it's for feathering the edges of a chroma key so the green doesn't bleed over onto the actors]". That was late 2015. Good to see he's only gotten lazier.

Before this thread gets shut down, on a lark I looked back at all the things I said ITT and what was going on when I said them. There was plenty of dumb stuff, from me and others, and then there are things like this:Mraagvpeine posted:I wonder if a Christian studio will retaliate against Brad and his reviews by making a Christian movie that blatantly attacks internet reviewers. dijon du jour posted:*Scene: a basement lit only by a single bare lightbulb.

For some reason people are really afraid of duplicity in arguments like "the way The Lord of the Rings is regarded by fans shows some insecurity and need for validation". It's "bad faith".

Or maybe they think it’s just a really bad argument that you seem to be pretending other people are making. Anyways, has Lindsey ever said if she’d do an examination of Fury Road, if she hasn’t done one already? Because it seems like it’d be a great combination.

Farg posted:Gormenghast is derivative shlock, why do you think it's good Peake has a talent for bizarre, grotesque description that creates a sort of curdled whimsy, a sort of Beetlejuice mood where things are both repulsive and fascinating, and the section in Titus Groan where each character at a dinner table has their own concurrent stream of consciousness monologue is a tremendous example of Peake's knack for character voices.

I don't think that Tyger was too good for CA but his niche of reviewing concert films was pretty inspired compared to most people on CA that usually just rip-off Nostalgia Critic. As for him brushing off the """"drama"""" like he's above it all, hmmmm... okay then.

It's more that it's just really douchey to go "And NO, it's NOT because of all the lovely things coming out!" when taking your leave of a place where this is happening. Like oh thanks for letting us know you don't care.

If you look at the original blog post he made he says that not only did his father die of cancer last year but tons of problems have followed surrounding his widow, along with other poo poo surrounding his channel that's causing him to step away. Not seeing what the issue is here. Don't be dicks.

Why is it called a "monkey's paw" anyway? I'm pretty sure that's a monkey's hand. Would we call severed hands "human paws"?
