funny thing is, smg is actually good and entertaining at that kind of "film reading" critique, even when i don't agree. i think i care about the craft more than the content of film, generally, and don't care much about long-stretch readings through a zizekian lens or what have you, but i'll read smg effortposts any old day

SMG is worthy of respect, he's one of the last living forums troll dinosaurs and the duration and extent of his domination over CD is an achievement. It's actually the toady/imitator squad who follow him around dogpiling anyone who isn't playing along and/or doing his shtick but worse who make CD intolerable

People who vehemently and vocally dislike RLM are without fail always weird fart huffing prequel/sequel defenders who don't want to admit they're angry that some dudes from Milwaukee don't like the bad Star Wars movies, but they always try to frame it with bullshit about how they don't like the style of humor or they're problematic or whatever; It's always a smokescreen for being upset over the Plinkett reviews and being totally unwilling to get past that.

I once pointed out to SMG that it was weird he defends the prequels when he made really good posts about how boring the cinematography of the Avengers is and the prequels also have terrible cinematography. He then made a long post drawing diagrams over a screenshot from a scene in the prequels to illustrate how the cinematography is actually good. The scene?

Groovelord Neato posted:Do most TVIV threads love a show regardless of quality? The Game of Thrones thread turned on the show once it went bad unlike the general public (and media critics wtf) who thought the show was great up until the final season. Trek was never Woke. Woke gets you FNN and STD. Woke has you fire the only real writer in your group when he conveys his real word for word experience of racism to help write Trek stories. Woke is an embarrassment to progress and equality. Trek gets you Space Lincoln, Balance of Terror, Measure of a Man, Miles O'Brien torment episodes, Trials and Tribbulations, Pale moonlight, Year of Hell, the EMH. The Orville. You got entertained and a dash of enlightenment should you wish to partake. Groovelord Neato posted:It's the same guy that did the 12 hour Jenny breakdown. I listened to a bit of that.

I find that directly engaging with him is usually a mistake, he doesn't bring his A game for it and the toadie squad is sure to jump in at the provocation and poo poo everything up. Better to let him do his thing and dump the really polished  posts on his own good time

Treating the people behind RLM like they are dangerous hate preachers, inciting acts of terrorism against the great franchises of the world, and that it is too dangerous to let them be heard lest they corrupt young minds to rally against the shah and british oil. but like, the things RLM are speaking out against are uhhhh, the prequels? the star trek movies? the sequels? star trek discovery? baby's day out? a few parts of the marvel movies (which they seem to enjoy, but are getting tired of)? captain marvel? like it's not like these are weird things to dislike, and it's not like these are things only they dislike. they're just midwestern slobs making youtube videos. it's weird

People getting wrapped up in ~product~ is about the saddest goddamned thing in the universe. People basing their entire entities on garbage with expiration dates. This is where I post the picture of the two people with Porg tattoos. Like gently caress have some self respect you're still a person why are you so small-brained as you define yourself by product.

Plinkett is also way older than the big boom in prequel apologism, so he's probably bigged up to the people who were kids as the OG rear end in a top hat who won't let them like things.

I read SMGs posts years ago and I was initially mystified as to what was going on. This person has managed to write coherent nonsense. Not only was it not in the text, it wasn't even in the subtext or playing "the game", just taking a long walk off a short pier in a very controlled fashion. A bunch of people went along with this. I wondered were these also SMG accounts. Nope reality is that dumb. I see SMG neither a villain or hero. Does SMG have issues from the outset? Someone whose mask has become the face? Someone who likes to commit word arson? It mattered not as it saved me from CD.

SMG is like a window into a reality where history’s Great Trolls not only survived the mods but actually dominated their respective spheres, even to the point of having a cadre of cloying fans. Yes, a universe where the development of SA and twitter tracked more closely

Moola posted:Lol why do 'other' forums hate RLM? CD earnestly believes the best films ever made are the prequels, Bay Transformers series, and the DC Snyderverse. The threads about classic films and everything that's not mindless trash only have 1 or 2 pages. The Zack Snyder thread has a shitzillion pages. It is, quite literally, and with 100% sincerity, the absolute loving dumbest place on the internet.

The Plinkett reviews were a primer on filmmaking and film criticism for a lot of people, and some folks seem to think this is a bad thing for reasons. I'm going to paint with a very broad brush and say it's mostly snobbery.

Gripweed posted:It's worth watching hmbomberguy's review of the Transformers movie if you want to see a guy somehow take an entire hour to say nothing more than "I like the Transformers movie" To be fair, he does point out how violent the movie was compared to the cartoon, which is the best part of that movie.

The Plinkett reviews committed the unforgivable sin of being persuasive, which is a dark magic that nobody involved in making the prequels has access to, so it's unfair that so many people agreed with them
