Saturday, 18 February 2023 22:56 I Love Everything Message edited to :sounds like a mollusk.circa, I've got to interrogate what "spectacle" means to you in terms of enjoyment and why it not being in CGI somehow gives you a greater thrill. Flynn's Robin Hood or even Spielberg's War of the Worlds, this ain't; it's workshopped and overwrought beyond common sense or spontaneous thrill. I'm not getting any soul or thought beyond obvious fanservice and slavish Cruise hagiography. If what's there is exciting you, more power to you; acting as if these blockbuster hoo-ha qualities are inherently recognizable, positive or even engrained within this work as a matter of fact is fallacious.I also take umbrage with your conception of me as a curmudgeons shooting fish in a barrel in choosing to engage the work and then positioning myself as holier-than-thou in voicing my objections. I think I've been clear in my intentions to want to find things to enjoy here; I'm simply not seeing them.Saturday, 18 February 2023 07:31 I Love Everything Message edited to :the positives are much the same as the first one: Full committal by all the actors, Cruise is an eyecatching actor and can mostly get away with the dumbest conceivable dialogue, the dogfight sequences are generally intelligible but holy shit this script though.STILL predictable and dogshit dumb, daddy-do-you-love-me-now, adolescent small dick power fantasy tech fetishism at its worst. it no longer has the benefit of explicit homoeroticism but the music and score do still suck!The decision to replicate not only the credits but all the main story beats, all the failson rising white narcissist savior bullshit and at least a dozen scenes note for note doesn't impress me, it only serves to show how utterly creatively bereft and unimaginative the hands on the wheel are. The inclusion of a more diverse cast and a slightly less sex pest relationship are directly undercut by Hangman's hotdog last second bailout (another bloated egotist to the rescue! let's see a woman do that!) and the cynical erasure of all the prior film's female characters. Kilmer can't even speak but he makes the cast while McGillis gets bumped for the unforgivable sin of aging.The product being sold here isn't the military, it's fucking Tom Cruise. Why the fuck did I just watch a two hour commercial for Tom Cruise? Fuck this series.Saturday, 18 February 2023 07:29 I Love Everything Message edited to :the positives are much the same as the first one: Full committal by all the actors, Cruise is an eyecatching actor and can mostly get away with the dumbest conceivable dialogue, the dogfight sequences are generally intelligible but holy shit this script though.STILL predictable and dogshit dumb, daddy-do-you-love-me-now, adolescent small dick power fantasy tech fetishism at its worst. it no longer has the benefit of explicit homoeroticism but the music and score do still suck!The decision to replicate not only the credits but all the main story beats, all the failson rising white narcissist savior bullshit and at least a dozen scenes note for note doesn't impress me, it only serves to show how utterly creatively bereft and unimaginative the hands on the wheel are.

Really needs to be said. Just don't get it. Over the last year he has every now and then reappeared to mostly snipe at posters he dislikes. No other contribution of any sort, that I could see. He was only banned because he just couldn't step away from the events currently unfolding.

― Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Monday, 9 October 2023 21:26 (seven months ago) link
The short answer is "we don't spend much time thinking about it." By week 3 of a one month ban, I've almost completely forgotten that the recipient even exists. It's usually week 5 or 6 before I remember to lift the ban unless someone reminds me. The ban-ee tends to lay low for a while until they lose control of themselves and get back on their bullshit, followed by another ban. Enough tempbans turn into a perma perma. I can't remember if VHS has had more than one ban before this one.

That was removed at my request. I made an innocuous joke in connection to something Thermo posted--not even thinking about world events--and asked WmC to remove it. I wasn't clear, and he removed Thermo's post too--my fault.
