I remember a short documentary about the film where they interviewed some of the crew, who said the movie was considered a good way to break into Hollywood back then. Tippi and Noel were so desperate that they would hire anyone, and they needed so many crewmen (because people kept quitting to take jobs that wouldn't kill them) that as long you were willing to take the risk of lion death you could get a job on the crew and get yourself experience.

The Book Lords over in TBB probably still have a shrine to him squirrelled away somewhere. They seem to have calmed down lately without Lamps there to lead them to the shitposting promised land, which is probably for the best.

With regard to books, and only books, BOTL utter contempt was actually proportionately justified.

Kim Justice posted:I imagine no one who says they misses BOTL actually misses him. Dude was a real oval office. Sadly I'm pretty sure there are posters who mean it sincerely, as BOTL had a small cadre of hangers-on, imitators, and fanboys who lauded his amazing contrarian nonsense views as transgressive masterpieces rather than self-admitted trolling and general bad faith bullshit. These were the same folks that melted down when the mods dared to give him a smack on the wrist and frankly their constant whining about alleged groupthink and how it was an injustice to silence BOTL for his Very Important views (nay, dare even call the mods in at all, rather than debate the walking bad faith argument fairly) makes me deeply suspicious of their motives. A big flaming stink posted:like don't get me wrong the guy was a relentless rear end in a top hat and loving reveled in making everyone hate him (to say nothing of his sincere meanness that he would show to some poor folk) but he really knew what he was talking about, and on the rare occasions he was sincerely engaging with people he had quite a few insights into art in general. dude was also real loving funny. I remember people describing John K. exactly like this. No amount of knowledge, mastery, or insight counterbalances being a toxic rear end in a top hat, actually.

All I'm relearning from this thread is that Cinema Discusso Troll posters are actually horrible people sans H Bomberguy. Like wasn't there reveal that Super Mecha Godzilla was some creep as well?

I don't know about creep, but I do remember SMG argued that it's ok for cis actors to play trans characters by concern trolling about wealthy actors playing poor characters so gently caress him and his fanbase.

SMG defended Armond White when White was perpetuating the right wing conspiracy theory that the survivors of the Parkland High School mass shooting were "crisis actors", and historically has done similar things when Zizek has said distasteful stuff about social justice issues or minorities. He has some reflex where he can't just admit he likes some points media critics raise while disagreeing with other political takes they have or admitting he hasn't read that portion of their writing and can't/shouldn't weigh in on it.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller know how actually tell a story and make an appealing product. Zack Snyder just knows how to make really good looking individual scenes but doesn't know how to make them into a story.

Max Wilco posted:I was always confused by that, but I recall that Last Action Hero didn't fare very well critically at the time. For a time, Doug from me got a pass because one naturally assumed that he was doing shtick and the Critic was a character not not unlike AVGN. Then as time went by and I watched more of Doug being Doug when he'd do those 'what I really think' videos you come to find out that indeed he has no special insight, is not a critic and isn't even much of a reviewer.

the only good post by BotL I can think of is when he did this insanely elaborate(like seriously 20 or 30 paragraphs with diagrams and everything) breakdown of some manga series's architectural monstrosities because they were trying to mashup three or more different eras of architecture and it was a nightmarish mess. Like on the level of betsy devos's clusterfuck mansion if only he did more of that and less of the creepy and bad troll things

Granted Pope was whining about the merchant class pretending to be as classy as the nobility, but his points about people with money who don't deserve it having awful taste is pretty poignant.
