I feel mixed about the FFD thing. On the one hand it was legit funny and the jokes were honestly pretty great but he was also a really good, lots of effort poster and I think he really did just get tired of the jokes every time he posted and left.

I miss FFD’s blog/him actually writing mini-reviews on criticker Speaking of I always wondered if criticker user Pickpocket was a goon, he has the second most stars on the site after FFD. Initially he was just typical snark boy but then he went full alt-right and it was hilarious

I miss all the effort posts and interesting write-ups on movies. It's why I joined SA. I've even stopped doing it myself outside of the annual October threads and the horror thread.

It's actually pretty handy to watch instructional YouTube videos or whatever at 1.5 because you retain all the information the same, and you can get through it faster. Yeah, I know, but people only seem to do it so they can check off the boxes. If they can't sit down to actually absorb something why are they even bothering?

He still posts regularly in Goons With Spoons, but Vargo gave him poo poo about posting the year of the movie and told him to stop, and people gave him poo poo about the weird quotation marks he uses, so he just stopped posting here. His takedowns of Star Trek: The Next Generation were legendary.

To talk to other people about it. People love talking about Netflix shows. Since I rarely watch anything these days, it’s very hard to converse unless it’s a show I got locked down in my brain.

I also feel mixed about the subg thing. On the one hand it was a dumb, kinda bullshit reason for a mod challenge. On the other hand it was a really trivial mod challenge and I think he overreacted

You might not realize it or have intended it, but your post had some red flags, and that worried people enough to comment on it, and considering the amount of people here that apparently from time to time are in a bad mental state I don't think that's unwarranted.

Lurdiak posted:gently caress. All that was said was that he "took ill" after arriving in London to conduct a concert, but hospitalization at that age is always an "oh, poo poo" situation. Coaaab posted:I've seen him make occasional posts in the physics thread and I feel like a dumbass when trying to vaguely comprehend them (he's p. smart) He's intensely intelligent but weirdly sensitive when challenged. Every now and again he gets into a snit with someone in GWS and gets strangely passive-aggressive.

It's more the "most people don't get any joy or intellectual engagement out of movies/fiction in general and just take it as something to dissociate while staring at" universalizing that struck a confusing/concerning vibe.

The guy was a walking encyclopedia of film trivia. I always assumed that he either worked in film studies or else spent every free minute of his life in a theatre.

Escapism is a very common reason people would give for why they love the movies. I really don't think that's a controversial statement.
