I too hate it when the still images are displayed in rapid succession, creating the illusion of motion

Hey I kept it out of the thread ๐ but I cannot see the appeal of people feyly blethering into a camera taking hours to make points that could be made in a paragraph of writing but mostly aren't worth making. This pushes all of my tyranny of humour buttons at once I guess.

I'm not even close to wanting to make a coherent case here tbh, just noting that the YouTube mode of address grinds my gears like almost no other form of media :D
― Danton Lok (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 20 November 2018 13:39 (five years ago) link
if that were still the format ppl worth watching were using, I'd agree, but that's becoming less and less the case (both in terms of length and style)

If there's a bunch of non-talking heads movies out there that'd be lovely as long as they don't feature theories

No problem, I figured this was a legitimate use of it for me to moan about this thing I hate without trampling dirt on the actual thread carpet

I seriously think this thread has cured me of the appetite for sweary Malcolm Tucker-esque "comedy" rancour for the rest of my life

I might start providing a public service by C&Ping these comments without the names attached into the relevant thread, if I can guess it.

pretty certain it wasn't one of mine, though I did go through a alcoholic bit of comedy socking years back that I only remember some of the details of

no, that sock was boring and tedious, I was more "hit and run"

i loved and still love brodie, bite your tongue
― rip van wanko, Thursday, 22 November 2018 19:09 (five years ago) link
i view comedy socking as more of a caper or plot-driven thing, whereas some take more of a "world-building approach" which I can respect, but is not my style

Worst sock ever, sorry that is just how I feel

some of mine were probably pretty bad, but I only remember the ones I still take some pride in

i feel like that's kinda a rockist approach to socks ...

I started this longterm sock, I kept changing my mind on the details and found myself getting engrossed in it and now it's my only account

I think I'll wait until release day to hear this in full as the band intended it like I assume the proper fans will. I haven't heard any of the already released songs from it so I'll be coming to the whole thing fresh. Looking forward to it, although setting my expectations as low as possible - I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
