The funniest thing to ever happen in CineD was the goon claiming to turn Ghost Rider into an MST3K riff fest.CPL593H posted:Just a reminder that the name "DNS" was a reference to Quentin Tarantino's famously cringey line in Pulp Fiction. And when we still had that IRC channel I popped in once and he immediately called me a human being and an autistic pussy. He was easily in the top three worst posters to come out of here. I didn’t know any of this, I retract my earlier statement. CPL593H posted:Wasn't DNS the same person who taunted another poster about being a rape victim? In fact, wasn't that the reason he got permabanned in the first place? Happy Fun Bollocks said he was sympathetic towards another poster’s rapist, which caused that poster to quit. BENGHAZI 2 posted:Or the uh Tony Tango! CPL593H posted:Yes! That whole saga was my favorite thing that happened here. It was just so weird. His user name here and I think also youtube account was "Legendary Badass". I remember him getting mod challenged and then banned I think but I forget why. I think he had to review something and not be a total goofy weirdo about it. He had to give a sincere review of his favorite movie, and basically just said “terminator 2 is so cool” and didn’t tackle any themes or ideas, just “cool special effects and acting.” Timby posted:That was SubG (I miss that av). 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. He got mod challenged over the years thing, even. bushisms.txt posted:Not gonna get to in to it too deep, but a suggestion to seek therapy shouldn't be seen as some kind of slam, especially in the context given, and especially in this open community. I go to therapy every Wednesday if I can afford it and it's the best thing I've ever done for my mental health. Getting new meds next week. Therapy is cool and good and has helped me realize where I am in life and how I got here and what I can do to change things. Too bad I’m not so great on that last part, oh well. therattle posted:Yeah, I went to a screening of Widows last week and loved it. It’s an unusual but successful hybrid between an art house and a heist film. Terrific performances and stunning cinematography too. I love a good heist film, hell yeah.

I think I've said this before, but everyone should get therapy at some point (yes, I know it's an impractical idea). At some point or another, poo poo sucks, and talking through it with a professional can help more than one could imagine. As for your second part ... the serenity prayer helps a lot with that: "Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." It's kind of in the "there but for the grace of God go I" vein, but even for an intensely non-religious person like myself, it's a powerful message to keep in the head, basically a reminder that I'm not king poo poo of the mountain. Edit: X-Ray Pecs posted:The funniest thing to ever happen in CineD was the goon claiming to turn Ghost Rider into an MST3K riff fest. Nah, SALT CURES HAM going to New Orleans to visit his poly girlfriend, getting drunk and passing out while she hosed another guy in another room, then getting locked in a crack house (followed by a subsequent meltdown in E/N because of his parents or some poo poo) will always be the best. "The lock does nothing without a key." Timby fucked around with this message at 14:31 on Oct 25, 2018 |

The thing is, I know what I have to/should change, but I forget or put things off or straight up just don’t do it for whatever reason. Even if it’s something I know will go in my favor, I still don’t want to do it.

Even if it’s something I know will go in my favor, I still don’t want to do it. One of the reasons I don't do them is the overwhelming feeling of pointlessness because I know I'll just have to do them again later on. That goes from taking out the garbage to learning stuff, because poo poo sucks and poo poo also never ends. You just keep on rolling that stone back up that hill. It's what being a mod must feel like.

axelblaze posted:His original point wasn't so much about the topic of what he was talking about but more that the response and often the response to his Snyder posts was a group of people that don't even usually post showed up out of no where to hammer the same point into him over and over again and the response to the post was for a bunch of people that don't usually post to show up and hammer the same point into him over and over. There’s no secret cabal of Snyder fans that only comes out of the woodwork when somebody says something bad about his movies. The only reason the same defenses are being made again and again are because the same criticisms are being made again and again, so when CP posts for the fiftieth time that he doesn’t like Snyder Superman because those movies make him sad and movies are supposed to be escapist fantasies, then the same defenses are gonna come up too. I should note that I don’t even think it’s a huge problem that the discussion gets cyclical - we’re all nerds wasting our time on the internet, here. What I do think is an issue is when someone says that the “biggest problem with the forum right now” is a group of people who like different movies than you and not the fact that we just went through a period where female and/or LGBTQ members of the subforum have admitted they don’t feel comfortable posting here anymore. Escobarbarian posted:is this a joke No? Snyder does not get talked about that often aside from the thread about the movie he worked on and whenever whatever this week’s ricdesi is bumbles into the comic book thread all “so I heard you FUCKIN’ IDIOTS liked MAN OF STEEL” Even then, it’s worth noting that the comic book movie is four months older than the Star Wars thread and is still significantly shorter. It’s not like CineD goons are only nerdy about one thing. Pirate Jet fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Oct 25, 2018 |

What I find irritating in this regard is the "hivemind" accusation because from what I've seen it's basically just posters reacting to and supporting each others arguments. In the better parts of the Star Wars and Snyder-adjacent threads they might appear to have similar arguments because they take up each others ideas and elaborate or develop them, like any good discussion should do. On the other side you get a dozen driveby shitposts by people you would still never accuse of being part of a hive mind because you'd never associate them with the word "mind".

Guy A. Person posted:His original point was that a bunch of us should be banned for being a terrible Snyder hivemind who gangs up on him. Like he didn't outright call for a ban but he said we were "the single biggest issue with CD" and a "hive mind" and that our behavior was "creepy" and he just wanted any potential new mod to know this. Then Skwirl said "the new mod should ban those fuckers" and someone else suggested closing down the comic book movie thread entirely. I saw that whole thing, and while I think Megaman's Jockstrap came off as a bit too patronizing, you and McCloud seemed genuine. It's wild that you're considered the issue when CP was the one with a bizarre-rear end take that I frankly find completely antithetical to this subforum's purpose.

axelblaze posted:The purpose of this subforum is to talk about movies. he was talking about movies. What the gently caress? Again friend, it's true that I don't post in here but I literally came in here to defend myself because he posted a link and then posters were calling on me to be banned. I'm harping on the point that I shouldn't be banned because uhhhh I don't think I should be banned? He wasn't talking about movies when he said some posters were the worst part of CD, he was talking about posters he has a grudge with. The original incident was not during a conversation about Snyder, he lumped it in with that because he thinks there's a conspiracy of people who are ganging up on him because we disagree with him about Snyder DC movies. He posted that we were the worst part of CD and he just wanted the new mod to know this, this sounds like he wants the new mod to keep an eye out for this behavior. A bunch of people who probably don't want to be punished for no reason are coming in here to defend themselves. Like I get what you're saying but it's a self fulfilling prophecy: "here's a bunch of posters who suck and always gang up on me" is kind of a direct invitation for those posters to "gang up on him" by saying their side of the story.

That horrific Gone Girl review by the Current Releases crew really, really, really didn't help matters and there's a reason pretty much everyone involved with that group retreated, because they were justifiably taken to the woodshed over it, for example.

It's maybe the only Steve McQueen film that comes anywhere close to crowd-pleasing (if my crowd was anything to go by, at least) and it's weird to say that?
