This is the thread where we ask people to dig up things on ILX we can't find

:D

#leaks

Is there a trainspotting thread? I can't find one that's just Bout the movie(s)

ok so was there a thread for dream pairings of music writers/ilxors and muscians/scenes etc. you'd love to see them write about?

hip hop documentaries thread?

I thought it has "hip hop documentaries of note" in the title but it's not coming up on the search function :(

Hip Hop Stories, Videos, Interviews of Note

?

ah! thx

Hip Hop Stories, Videos, Interviews of Note

protip: check yr own recent contributions

I always just use google with site:ilxor.com "search term". Much better than the native search.

i'm generally not a big fan of the "it works despite its flaws" genre of art criticism and thought this was pretty much maudlin trash but i'm glad it was meaningful to other people

this got me thinking about how lots of the art that is most 'meaningful' to me is stuff that I would probably struggle to defend from criticisms that it was maudlin/trashy/badly-made etc, is there a thread about flawed art that is meaningful to you? (specifically 'meaningful', as distinct from stuff you appreciate on a so-bad-it's-good level, if that's a legitimate distinction?)

there was a recent thread about favorite albums that are not critically regarded. can't remember what is was called right now but a quick search revealed the very similar: Critically Reviled Albums That You Actually Enjoy.

found it: What's the least acclaimed album you love?

Did we ever have a thread about late-90s/early-00s album cover aesthetic? I vaguely remember this being addressed - just this time when everyone was using this Impact-style font and lots of minimalist artwork, usually with LOTS of white space that looked rubbish as soon as the CD case got cracked:

Manic Street Preachers - Lifeblood
Charlatans - Wonderland

are two I can think of but I'm sure we had a thread about it

00's Album Covers featuring graf-style art of two people embracing... (probably not a long thread...)

thankoo

trying to find an ILM thread about artists who arent really covered any more but are still massively popular, or even more popular than they were when they were being covered?

that stage where you think they aren't popular anymore but are actually way more popular than they were when they had "buzz"

a good thread

thanks shakey!

Is there a thread for general bookselling stories/concerns?

Are you thinking of something like this?

selling used books: classic or frustrating dud?

I looking for somewhere to put this awesome link, basically: http://www.pajiba.com/book_reviews/did-this-book-buy-its-way-onto-the-new-york-times-bestseller-list.php

Which seems contrary to the purpose on that thread, in that the book at the top of an NYT Bestseller List is not only not used, but may have never taken corporeal form.

Don't we have a thread specifically for social media based amateur food photography?

Someone on here recently asked what a good video editing program is. On the same quest, tried several hoonja doonja and mac threads but no dice. Anyone?

There was a thread about old ilx posts that reverberate in your mind a lot, not excelsiors or "striking imagery" posts but just ones that you think about a lot

Old ilx posts that haunt your thoughts?

YES THANK YOU

One of those thread titles where the concept can be stated in so many different generic ways that it's unsearchable.

Oh wait, but that one is locked for some reason. Is there another similar thread?

ok nm there's another one found it

a politics/theory thread, not one of the main chronological rolling threads, that gets into a big discussion of right-wing thinking marked by an absolutely enormous clusterfuck argument between mordy and frederik over moldbug. feel like it was within the last year, cannot find with google for the life of me (maybe it's de-indexed?).

it was on the alt-right thread

Yeah dude stop talking about Mordy like he’s not right here

riiiiiiight yes

thanks, tombot!

j/k, thanks mordy. i'd remembered it as a bigger clusterfuck than it was - think i just read it all at once as a catch-up on a bus ride and it felt like it must have gone on for days.

the commiseration thread in which roxymuzak lists all the shitty things her ex did

thread to get over a breakup

the thread where jordan &/or other goon cru would liveblog their 1st listen of, say, a tpain album

despite searching for

disaster artist
franco
wiseau
the room

i cannot seem to manage to find the thread on the film "the disaster artist", directed by james franco, about tommy wiseau's film "the room"

perhaps it is mainly discussed on Tommy Wiseau's "The Room"

which thread had the main discussion about that BBC doc about neanderthals with high-pitched voices?

trying again with the link

Thanks koogs.

Elliot the Neanderthal discussed here

EXCELSIOR is the second solo album by British musician LOLZ Coombes.

oh thanks! I guess that wouldn't be a great thread to revive just for that purpose though. Just wanted to mention that I have both strep and flu at the moment and for the first couple days I really sounded like elliot when I talked.

i can't find pplains' fake google street views he did using stills from feature films... anyone know where those are?
