Things you did not post

[Jixby Phillips]

Use this thread when you are about to post a thing, but you don't want to muck up a thread with your bullshit. I'll go first!

So I wrote this out in the DARK KNIGHT thread. It's a fucking mess. You really get inside my over-explainy head:

Hey guys do not read this if the idea of somebody not loving and accepting batman will make you mad, I am not trying to do that and I am happy you like your batman superhero character:

Will I like the movie if I do not care about batman and was never excited at all about the idea of this movie or seeing this movie and immediately glazed over when people posted bulletins on myspace about how excited they were by the image of whatshisface's* face painted as the joker?

I am not trying to pretend I'm cool for not caring about this stuff (maybe I am a little bit, sorry :(), I am actually curious to see what all the fuss is about and if theres anybody else out there that doesn't care about Batman but saw this and was impressed. I wouldn't be asking this here if this movie wasn't currently THE TOP MOVIE ON IMDB AS RATED BY IT'S USERS.

*FULL DISCLOSURE: I had to think about this guy's name, and it came to me, but I want to communicate the idea that I have never seen a single movie Heath Ledger was in and would not be able to pick him out of a line up if asked. Again, I am not trying to be cool by bragging about not knowing something, but I do think it's kind of neat that I am the only person I know that really did not know who Heath Ledger was really. I would hate if that's what you thought.

Here's what I posted instead:

Will I like it

[Famous Police Dog]

I wouldn't be asking this here if this movie wasn't currently THE TOP MOVIE ON IMDB AS RATED BY IT'S USERS.

That was WALL-E two weeks ago. It doesn't mean shit! It's definitely not a movie you would probably like. SKIP and go see Step Brothers next week!


Meanwhile, I was going to post in Please Don't Kill the Metal Thread a screen shot from Turtles In Time where you beat the Metal Turtle (Alley Cat Blues) and go "there I killed it, close thread", but I knew it wasn't worth pissing off some dangerous metal heads for a joke only few would get and fewer would see.

[Berliner]

I saw Dark Knight on Friday and haven't posted anything about it because even though I thought it was well made and I liked it, I didn't feel like it was spectacularly good like people are saying. It just didn't connect with me on a personal, subjective level. I too didn't want to seem too cool for school, but even in going out of my way to try to believe it was really good, I couldn't feel anything more than "eh" when it was over. This might sound crazy, but I think Iron Man was actually the bestest super hero film I've ever seen so far.

[KevinLee]

Yeah I get it.

there are a lot of times where i was going to post "OH THAT JIXBY!," but i didn't because jixby know what he did.

[Teaflax]

Shit, a good third of my posts are erased without sending. And that's not just here, but on most boards. It usually happens when I realize that I'm not adding anything to the conversation.

Sort of like this post, really.

[Ryebread]

Here's the advice from me: I had some second thoughts about copying and pasting Adam Hunter's blog in the Last Comic Standing thread and pretending that I had written it, but then I looked up at my "FUCK THE HATERS" poster that I made and hung over my workstation and decided to just let her rip.

There are a lot of tutorials in the net about making your own poster, so find one of those and get started and let's make this thread history.

What I'd like to post in the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia thread

"Can you guys stop fucking bitching and get back on topic? This isn't the fucking hulu.com thread or whatever".

[KeithTalent]

That's funny, I was just going to start a thread about how terrible it is when people on the internet pretend like off-topic posts prevent them from saying stuff. I have many important things to say, but some other people having a brief sidebar has given me temporary rheumatism! Confound you, demon thread drift!

[eponymous]

(Kept from several threads, you know which ones i mean. . .)

Movies are little more than an Ode to Spectacle nowadays. No thought behind them whatsoever. Febrile fanboy escapism with a subhuman face. I've never been more bored by the idea of going to the movies. I may never go again.

[man124]

there are a lot of times where i was going to post "OH THAT JIXBY!," but i didn't because jixby know what he did.

This sounds frighteningly like a Jack handy joke.

P.S.

After i wrote that i realized it was stupid and off topic, but then i realized what thread I was in and decided to post it anyway.

Again, I am not trying to be cool by bragging about not knowing something, but I do think it's kind of neat that I am the only person I know that really did not know who Heath Ledger was really.


Jixby, it's only cool to not know school stuff, like history and math. Everyone knows that pop culture is the only learning that matters. And if the line up Heath Ledger was in consisted of some zoo animals and office supplies you could definitely pick him out. The zoo animals wouldn't even be higher primates, they'd be like giraffes and capybaras.

[punkdc]

Jixby, its pretty easy to pick him out. He's the zombie looking one. Just so you know...

[Jixby Phillips]

This thread is a hella success thanks a lot guys theres some great discussion in here and finally we have a safe place for pennshit

[BananapeelWilliams]

In this thread I was going to say "Hey update Early Conan ya jerk" because last time I checked it it wasn't updated but then I checked it to make sure and it was all new, good thing I didn't post that I woulda been the jerk.

Dear aspecialthingmessageboard,

In case anyone is confused about what opinions they should have, I thought I'd set this one straight for you. "Hard" drugs are not that alarming. If you still believe they are, instead of handing down hysterical moral judgments you should think about where those ideas came from (certain illegal drugs can be invaluable to such self-analysis). Perhaps you've held onto a bullshit sense of personal superiority you used to make yourself feel better as a youth. Perhaps you had a cousin who was a junkie and it prevented you from ever looking rationally at the subject. Perhaps you just really, really trust the government.

Or maybe you actually know what you're talking about. Maybe the notion that a bag of contraband signifies a crippling drug problem and imminent destitution (rather than what it really signifies: a fun weekend) is based on extensive personal experience, free of alarmist assumptions or selective hindsight or the assignment of your own mistakes to other people. I'm sure that's probably it.

KeithTalent's idea of "a fun weekend" includes meth

[KeithTalent]

No I just recognize that it could for some people. As impossible as that may be for you to believe, considering that scary youtube and all those episodes of COPS.

[disl]

just because someone finds meth to be "fun" (what?) doesn't make it any less horrifying. i'm sure there are some people who find crack cocaine "fun" or beastiality "fun." hell, as long as they're having fun, anything goes!

ahaha, right, how could anyone find crack or meth "fun"? What kind of warped people would get enjoyment out of using a drug that makes you feel awesome?

You don't even know why meth should be "horrifying" because you don't actually know anything about it, other than how if you're strung out on it for several years straight your looks go to shit.

Engaging in potentially risky behavior for one's own amusement is not in any way comparable to abusing an animal. The irony is that if you'd only take some drugs you'd quickly realize how ridiculous what you've just said is

[Famous Police Dog]

xtXN_EHPwSg

[disl]

beastiality was a bad example to use, i concede that. i probably should have said auto-erotic asyphyxiation. anyway, when i said "horrifying," i meant it more in how, if one of your friends told you they did meth or masturbated while hanging themselves, depending on which friend you talked to on any given day, you would probably think/say "what the hell is wrong with you?" of course, i mean the universal "you," obviously not you specifically since apparently doing meth in your household is like pigging out on ben and jerry's for the rest of us. i have to ask, though, is that really your reaction to recreational meth/crack/any hard drug use? that that person was just trying to have a chill weekend?

[TenJay]

Tropic of Thunder looks great!!!

[KeithTalent]

My real reaction to someone having drugs is basically...hey that person has some drugs. I just don't assume either way. I don't make assumptions about the lives of strangers based on one little fact like that, because I know that it's not nearly as significant as people think it is. I take issue with people assuming the ONLY explanation for having any of the "scary" drugs is that the person is some kind of drug fiend.

The reputations of certain drugs are blown way out of proportion. Especially when you put them beside people's reactions to similar drugs that happen to be available by prescription.

I didn't post that either. I also didn't add that mocking comics for doing their own brand of comedy is kinda dickish. Some of the things that Frangela seemed to be saying didn't seem to be the typical "Oh no she di'int!" kind of jokes I'd expect. Some of it's hacky or heavy handed, but some of it seemed honest. I laughed at the "heather, megan, christy, kristy, kristen" joke.

Smiley Face is not amazing. Even with all the funny people in it, it still isn't amazing. I could barley sit through that movie. But that's neither here nor there. On with the SNL talk.
