Re: A Note on Hate Speech and Criticker's Abuse Policy

So your contention is that What Is a Woman qualifies as "hate speech"? I haven’t watched it and have no interest in it. Do you think it qualifies as hate speech? Is any expressed skepticism about whether a trans woman is "a woman", or opinions as to which ways they may not be, de facto hate speech?...

Re: A Note on Hate Speech and Criticker's Abuse Policy

I second overrated’s suggestion on the ‘garbage dump’ idea and the unclear ToS. The description of the General Discussion could also be seen as misleading - “ Introduce yourself to the community or chat with other users about whatever is on your mind”. Moderating language or behavior (especially onl...

Re: Elusive Takashi Miike films

Good luck. I’ve seen around 50 different works in his filmography and most you’re not gonna see outside a few sketchy torrent sites and amazon.co.jp / eBay.

I gave up on his stuff a while back, but I still have a handful I’d like to see.

Re: Bleak Moments (1971)

I would love to watch these early Mike Leigh films again. I haven't since Netflix's early streaming service years when they included little oddities like these Play for TV spots and stuff like Twilight of the Ice Nymphs & Benny's Video.

Re: Worst Year in Film?

I also thought of the 80s. After some searching, I don’t see much beyond Angst, El Norte, and a couple fun Chinese martial arts flicks convincing me that 1983 is anything but barely active as a year in film. Tier 9 for 1983: Scarface Sans Soleil (and whose to say how much of this Marker even constru...

Re: A Decade of Criticker

Nice topic. Got me to notice that I’ll be here 15 years (consistently? not quite) this coming April. A little bit of a cheat especially since I initially signed up here, review dumped like 60-80 films I was watching around that time, and then only returned a year later in 2008 at a regular basis for...

Re: Hello all! :)

Two things keeping me around:

- the huge variety of collections for certain subgenre and niche areas of film.
- Keeping up with the last dozen or so active users that I still follow from back when I started (and occasionally following someone new once in a while).

Re: Audio commentary thread

Upon re-organizing my collection I happened upon Even Dwarfs Started Small from that old Herzog dvd boxset. It's got a commentary track with Werner Herzog & Crispin Glover!? (also someone called Norman Hill) Before last year, I counted audio commentary tracks among those activities I just don't have...
