God I hate Knowles and his fat corpulent body.

Edcrab · December 2010

Should I be familiar with Knowles

Langly · December 2010

he runs a thing that has somehow become popular and a staple of comic/nerd/film culture

Centipede Damascus · December 2010

AintItCoolNews really did change a lot in terms of how the movie industry deals with fans

which is not to say that Harry Knowles is any less of a depressing neckbeard

Edcrab · December 2010

Ah, I've heard of AICN

Had no idea he was the frontman for it

Solar · December 2010

I don't give a shit about most critics or their opinions

and this Knowles guy seems to be a critic who thinks his opinions are pretty great

Eff you Knowles.

Langly · December 2010

He also has a record of saying good things about movies that send him shit, and bad things about movies that do not.

World as Myth · December 2010

ain't it cool does have a lot of pretty puzzling connections in the industry though

Harry Knowles wrote:

In 1994, Knowles fell while pushing a cart up a ramp at a convention, and was subsequently run over by the cart with its 1200 pound load of memorabilia. The accident injured his back and left him virtually bedridden. With money from his mother's life insurance, he purchased a top-of-the-line computer and a friend arranged for Internet service allegedly so they could play Doom online together. After teaching himself how to navigate the Internet, Knowles began frequenting newsgroups to exchange gossip and rumors with other fans about upcoming films. After being chastised by future film critic Mike D'Angelo for posting binary image files to the newsgroups, Knowles launched the website that would become Ain't It Cool News in February 1996.

That is the worst origin story ever.

Ever.

After teaching HIMSELF how to navigate the internet??

Because of this he has plenty of bad things to say about women because I am pretty sure he needs to pay to see boobs.

My favourite part of this is that it took two or three revisions of the modem for them to even think about giving you an option to mute the sound.

Langly · December 2010

I love that that woman's title is "Internet"

there was a version that could mute the sound? >:C

Bad-Beat · December 2010

You could tell if it was connecting through the sound so I wouldn't have liked a mute function unless I knew it was guaranteed to connect.

lostwords · December 2010

Waiting the 5 minutes for a naked picture of the pink ranger or Kelly kapowski to load, line by line, on your monitor, was torture. Never forget

On mine the sound ran through the actual speakers, so you could control it.

Raijin Quickfoot · December 2010

Why would you want to mute it? The sound was the best part!

Langly · December 2010

But yeah, oh my god the times when AOL was completely jammed and you couldn't get online, it was just a busy signal. Just connecting and connecting and connecting and praying.

At least with my 56k modem (yeah kids, that's how I rolled. You could right click and go into properties and edit how much noise it made.

You could also make it still make noise but just really quiet so it didn't wake your parents so you could masturbate in peace.

Bad-Beat · December 2010

Long gone are the days when you'd be in your bedroom and you'd hear:

WHO THE FUCK LEFT THE FUCKING INTERNET ON ALL NIGHT! WHOEVER IT IS BETTER FUCKING HOPE THEY'VE GOT THE FUCKING MONEY OR THEY'RE OUT ON THE FUCKING STREETS!! ...no I won't calm down!!

It was usually my brother.

The Geek · December 2010

Goddamn AICN. These are the jerkwads who post an "exclusive leaked" Spider-man 3 trailer and when people call them on the bullshit that is was (an animated gif of clips from Spider-man 2, Aliens, Spawn, and The Mummy) they take it down but then say they were sent a legal notice from the movie studio to to take down the "leaked" trailer.

Eff these guys.

Raijin Quickfoot · December 2010

I have actually never been to AICN and I don't intend on ever going there.
