ADMIN LOG WATCH 2

I’m not sure I actually want to go to the ilx slack, I was just kinda stirring shit up because I thought it was deleted. Nothing against anybody here, just boundaries + I’ve made an ass of myself repeatedly on this board and don’t really post much <3

brimstead playing coy, but i'm confident you can win their posts with the right relocation fee and ilx equity package.

f’ me, if making an ass of yourself On Here was a barrier to anything we’d all be in deep shit.

i like to step deep in the shit and then stand there as a living warning sign to others

Dance in the shit

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.

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.

I never saw Top Gun and am doing an oscar sweep, figured fuckit i might as well see the original if i have to see the sequel.

I'm sure everyone already knows this as I'm forty years late to the party BUT: better than average direction that makes the aerial sequences comprehensible and enjoyable, Cruise is good and there's solid acting throughout (with the exception of McGillis who seems drugged), but holy shit this script though.

CerebralCaustic has been banned permanently. 25 FPs in a month - temp ban

completely overrated ban, not even in the top 1000 bans

Yes, I did that.

can't believe you waited three days to lock the thread

my modding paycheck ran late

Van Horn Street has been banned permanently.

Suicide by mod.

tbh I can't remotely fathom why he has continued to post here

Is that permanently for a week or permanently permanently?

yeah that's the question!

For a month.

It's his latest permanent ban.

All bans come up in the log as permanent bans. It's an ilx thing.

I will be fasting until my next meal

Further I vow to abstain from alcohol until my next drink

I've never seen a more terminal case of "stop posting, dickhead" on here, since the last time VHS was permanently banned

Terminal is wishful thinking

tbh I can't remotely fathom why he has continued to post here

― rob, Monday, 9 October 2023 bookmarkflaglink

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.

he got taped over

we switched to DVD

Why hasn't he been permanently permanently banned yet?

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.

Friday, February 25, 2022 6:36 PM Site Van Horn Street has been banned permanently. 20+ FPs in the past month (22 in past 48 hours). 1 week ban. Unban date 5 March 2022

Can never stop the controversy and hateful dialogue on that thread

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.

Sorry, I thought someone just posted a spoiler by accident! To clarify, immaculate grid is not filled with controversy or hateful dialogue
