uhhhh it's where I live. https://letterboxd.com/dukefrukem/Quoting Yxklyx (view post)
Since I'm in virtual classes all day, I'm back to working on my 2 years worth of back log reviews lol
Somebody is masquerading on LB under your MC handle, and they fooled both me and Irish.
Speaking of LB... Anyone ever get some weird comments on a negative review, where it sounds like the person actually worked on the film project?
Happened recently to me and if you look at that member's history, all they do is look for negative reviews of that particular film and defend it into the ground.
Wouldn't be surprised at all.
I remember back in the day DaMU had a big spat with someone who was OBVIOUSLY Leigh Whannell, because DaMU criticized one of his movies on RT.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Oh yeh. That was for Insidious if I remember.
Edit: Oh wait, it was Boner!

The same thing happened to Boner M! I think it was for Insidious, he criticized the movie on an online pub he was writing for and then Whannell went after him using his girlfriend's social media accounts lol.
edit - duke beat me to it and even had the receipts haha.
Giving up in 2020. Who cares.

I thought I remember him talking about it in a stand alone thread but I can't find it. He somehow saw Insidious way before the release date.
Did it go to SXSW or something?
Shit yeah it was Boner. Sorry, don't know why I thought it was DaMU.

Wow thats lame. On the flip side of that coin, I've been having some really cool interactions with Steven C. Miller on twitter. I've only seen a couple of his films (and didn't care for them). He made a cool post about accepting criticism...I told him I didn't care for the movies I've seen, but his post was really cool and I wished him well. Most on twitter would leave it at that, but he pursued me to name the movies, then he recommended several from his filmography.
I'm a hell of a lot more affable to an artist when they're not an asshole, and he totally could've been. I can't say I'm a fan of his films yet, but I am a fan of the man.
Yeah, that's it. The film premiered at TIFF and he was either covering it for an online Australian film journal or his own personal journal or something (I'm fuzzy on the timeline of his work now but I know he's a film critic) and I remember bumping into him at a screening just after it had happened (and I think he showed me the post on his phone but again I'm fuzzy, this was 11 years ago!).

I created that one with an old email address a while back and forgot so I deleted that one and renamed Qossuth to Yxklyx. So it's https://letterboxd.com/Yxklyx/ now - and it looks like the network stayed in place and everything carried over in that regard. A really well designed site. I stopped logging my daily watches a few years back - trying to piece things together. Too bad Criterion channel doesn't have a viewing log. What I really like about a log is that it helps me decide on re-watches.
That's my experience with Zack Snyder as well.
When I got to talk with him a few times about 300 back when that movie was new, man, he is just SUCH a nice guy. Not a single bit of pretension about him. He seems like the type of guy you'd meet at a comic shop and just shoot the shit with for an hour.
Don't think too highly of his movies, but he's a great guy.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
I think only person in Hollywood I consistently hear is nice more than Snyder is Adam Sandler. Thats excellent.
Hanx
Keanu
As overdone as the nice guy Keanu memes are, it's really true. Nearly 40 years in the public eye, and not a bad word said about him.
The capybara of Hollywood.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
So where can I watch World of Tomorrow?
I humbly offer Jack Black as the nicest guy in Hollywood.

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well, I guess this is growing up

Also, La Piscine is a fucking phenomenal film. I loved it.
EDIT: I'd say more, but my Letterboxd profile is above and my thoughts are there, too. But I can post them here for discussion purposes, if you guys like!
