Tis cool man. Peoples still see that comment and begin to wonder what the deal is, including myself. It’s a little “niche.” Hah. Anyway, I needed to comment on this trend, obviously, in general. Faux-hate on faux-haters.

What the fuck? Hahah. I mean, really. I would give The Dark Knight a bad review? What is the basis for that, eh, guy? My obit to Heath
Ledger? No, that was positive. My coverage of the viral marketing? No, that is positive (and I’m not too big on the trend of viral website contagion). I like Christopher Nolan’s work, I fucking campaigned via my section in my college paper to get Christian Bale the role of Batman for months.

The only things I have really thrashed thus far on Slashfilm are Lost Boys: The Tribe, Michael Bay remaking Rosemary’s Baby, Platinum Dunes doing Elm Street, and Brett Ratner. I was let down by the latest trailers for Crystal Skull and Wall-E and said as much. I have high expectations for those films. Big whup. And yet I have a dozen turds up in the Internet rafters yelling “you’re a hater.” Or if I write something saying how much I dig Tarantino, I get “I’m going to come to your house with a bat” and given, my QT post was purposely a little silly and cheeseball, but so what? It was a weekend post when nothing was hitting.

What has happened to geek culture? It’s, like, born again, schizo and loves/defends every piece of shit movie ever made these days instead of analyzing it for flaws like true geek badassery. Part of the reason why /Film is awesome imo is because we, including you guys and gals, have strong opinions on movies, talent and filmmakers. There is small but vocal minority of commenting here that sounds like it’s via a fan club for studio press releases. Vomit.

This site is populist and it’s DIY. That is why I choose to work for it and read it. I don’t care if you dislike Rambo or Cloverfield, or my reviews of them, at all. Let me repeat: At All. I want to hear why you didn’t like them and hated them. I like strong opinions, even obnoxiously strong, and I haven’t ever said otherwise and if I did it was clearly a joke. (The exception is Lost Boys 2, which I do not think should be defended, but the original is one of my favorite films and I have said that here. And even then, fine. Whatevs.)

I’m not going to start retorting to every dumb-harsh Hunter diss like Moriarty on AICN, b/c I honestly do not care. This post is even a little too ego-y for me. And I find most of the “you’re a hater” comments sort of surreal and hilarious. Hate can be good on the Internet, I get it. But it’s starting to take away from enjoying the site for some, b/c it’s not even clever hate and there’s really no friggin’ reason for it.

@rob

No idea. I made a reference to Spitzer and some peoples’ worlds imploded.

@ r&j

While your comments/hate is often great, I’m not sure even you guys can take credit for the trend. It’s like taking credit for the birth of Sexman. We’ll never really know. You can, however, sleep tight knowing that I have nightmares about Billy Mitchell and his beard drinking a douche bag like a milkshake. Here, here.

LOL! yr a good sport m8.. :2thumbsup:

The first one was so weak that I was embarassed to be a Punisher fan.

Don’t look in my basement, you wont like what you find…

Also, How can Tom Jane not be in this movie? I hate when they just ruin superhero movies by switching up the main actor to someone not as good.

@ Brian

I do suck a LOT, I just hate the idea of this stupid movie. I mean the first one was allllright at best, but I just can’t see this being any good.

Larry Leonardo Sucks

WOW!!!!

You are so right! I never thought of it that way!

Ragging on Hunter is OLD now….

1. to call him a scumbag, is a bit out of order. It’s an insult to scum that is collected in bags.

2. You can’t call him a Douche bag since that title has been Officially given to Billy Mitchel.

ie: I drink your douche bag

3.You could call him a “shit bag”…that title has not been given out officially…but “Bag of Fuck” sounds better.

4. Hunter hardly qualifies as the official “Bag of Fuck”……yet.

He actually has a really good taste in film. He has some spot on Dennis Miller like obscure references in his posts that will seriously take you back. He’s impressed me more than a few times…(and I’m the original Hunter hater….I’ve finger fucked him since his first post)
Take some time before you call him a scumbag…..Hunter grows on you…kinda like syphilis….(It’s horrifying at first…but you learn to live with it…and theres medication)
So if you don’t get him yet…. It’s your fault…not his, cuz Hunter is here to stay.

As for the “New” Punisher movie…please. Hollywood pushes out this crap and then expects us to come flocking to see it?

To bad we do.

I feel like a sheep.

Will I see it? Yeah. And then I’ll complain about how terrible it was, but nobody in Hollywood will care because they have my money already.
