    So, by the way. Is this thing just still going because mods are asleep, or is this the end?

    I remember the first time my girlfriend saw me do a two thousand yard stare. She thought I was having some sort of stroke, she completely freaked out.

    Meh. I like the show. It's fun, funny, and a pleasant blast of optimism in an increasingly grimdark media landscape, while still keeping meaningful conflicts.

  • RMS OceanicRMS Oceanic Registered User regular
    Oh, it's that "Mods Asleep; Post Ponies" image, isn't it?

    I've yet to watch that show, but some of the fanart amuses me.

    It's a good show.

    I know how tenuous the Pony thread is in SE++, so I'd refrain from mod teasing and pony macros in the same post, but that's just me :P

    tube's not even doing those right now

    no, I think deep down he prides himself on it being truly on the level

    it would eat him up if he ever rigged it

    but he doesn't show it

    I don't mean meaningful as in important, but rather that it's THERE with some prominence. It can be petty shit and still meaningful conflict.

    But hey, whatever. I'm not looking to convert anyone, or step on toes. I just like the show and the fandom around it.

    i asked tube privately if i could just make a new account and have the Pony account banned

    and he was like "nope"

    so

  • PonyPony Registered User regular
    fuck this shit

    i'm going to bed

  • RikushixRikushix Registered User regular
    I think he would say that to everyone.

    I won't lie, he probably took extra satisfaction in saying nope to you specifically

    The only way to get away with that is to have the alt account's name be worse than your original account's name.

    ...Huh. Okay, probably not. That's putting too much importance on me.

    You can take solace that, to me at least, you have cultivated a persona which makes it impossible for me to conflate you with a television program aimed at young girls.

    Thom if you are still here:

    If you're looking for theory, look no further than:

    http://www.amazon.com/What-Cinema-Vol-Andre-Bazin/dp/0520242270/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

    It's pretty heavy, but Bazin knows what he's talking about always. It's one of my favorite theory pieces.

    So how many terabytes is your MLP rule 34 collection

  • stevemarks44stevemarks44 Registered User regular
    Alright, to bed.

    Thom, stay tuned. I'll pull out some other stuff later.

    The hard part is that an overview of film theory is really difficult.

    Like, Bazin is great and really cultivated auteurist theory, but at the same time could probably be at odds in basic principle with a theorist like Eisenstein.

    I guess that's the thing about theory everywhere, it's hard to start with an overview. I'd say look into some theory books in genres and movements that interest you, and then move onto other theorists and movements that are referenced in those works.

    I would actually HIGHLY recommend this book:
    http://www.amazon.com/Movies-Methods-Vol-v/dp/0520031512/ref=cm_lmf_tit_16

    Not only does it include a glossary of basic theoretical terminology, but it's also one of the only works that provides an overview broken down by genres and movements. You'll get a great overview of theorists and areas to explore.

    If you had to pick up one book, I'd pick up that one.

    Gonna head down to the bike shop tomorrow, I think. Got a photo project in my head that's gonna need a lot more bikes than I have. Will have to negotiate a way to cheaply access several, or possibly their stockroom, for an hour or two.

    There's also a music store nearby, or there was the last time I looked. Will check for its continued existence, and see if they've got any MIDI gear.

    Lindsey Lohan tweeted "If you forgot about a father's day gift, order 1800muffins!! http://t.co/EOMa6M3 OMG so good!!!"

    For a second I thought she was recommending to buy 1,800 muffins

    who the fuck orders muffins over the phone?

    I could not interpret that any way except for 1800 muffins until I clicked the link.
