Anyway, time for my own botching. Rumor has it Brian Michael Bendis is taking over both Superman titles after he moves from Marvel to DC sometime after Action #1000. If that’s true, ugh.

I suppose as a talking head, all discussion of Supe’s trunk will become irrelevant; you wouldn’t see them even if he wore them.

Well, at least Dan Jurgens is writing a Superman/Booster Gold team up in Action at the moment. That should be fun while it lasts.

I’ve barely used it since they shut down their message boards. Sure, it was a troll infested wasteland, but occasionally there were informative posts.

Since then, they’ve disabled the user’s ability to selectively search through their own ratings (You can use advanced title search to do that, but it’s a tedious pain in the ass.) and you can no longer sort user reviews by preference; they’re all automatically and permanently sorted by “helpfulness” now.

Join Letterboxd.

The community there is awful.

Meh. I’m mostly just trying to get more than the one follower I have. I get lonely.

I’m getting pretty sick and tired of IMDb’s software updates. The people-that-be seem dead-set on making the site as user-unfriendly as possible.

Same here - and like Wook I think there were gems of info in there - yet IMDB chose to lose it all - conveniently ignoring they too were responsible for the shitefest the message boards became in the first place.

For me, the site has nosedived after shutting down the boards too.
 

It wouldn’t have been that difficult to get some strict killjoy / Thought Police mods in to clean up the place… apparently 😃

Sound like all they would have needed to do was ban the trolls.

I saw no signs of moderation, if they had moderators at all. It’s become little more than a shill for whatever is current in theaters now. Kind of sad, as I think first used it back when my dad had still had a dial up service like Compuserve in the early 90’s.

I noticed posts would get deleted and users would be get banned from time-to-time, but it was an irregular occurrence. Even then, the posts deleted were often less inflammatory than the ones left up and banned users would quickly return under a new account.

For what it’s worth, I figured out who you were and followed you as well. I don’t want the name here, though.

I’ve been sitting in an uncomfortable chair in a jury pool for three hours and haven’t eaten anything since last night. Not in a great mood right now.

EDIT: four hours.

EDIT2: got released 15 minutes after the first edit and had a boozy lunch at one of my favorite restaurants. I no longer need to do any bitching.

I keep accidentally opening The Last Jedi spoilers thread… haven’t actually been spoiled yet, but it was damn close this morning… I have realized what I did in time to look away, but I worry for the next two days… Maybe I should just avoid this site, or only stay here in safe and friendly Off topic.

What would ender do?

Glad to see this resolved nicely

I’ve accidentally clicked on the TLJ spoiler thread plenty of times. The good thing is that almost all of the time I realize it and have time to click away, but there was one time where it took me a while to realize I was in the spoiler thread, but no spoilers were actually being discussed.

Note to self: don’t go to the spoiler thread until after I see the movie.

New note to self: don’t go to the spoiler thread even after I see the movie.

I don’t know. But I would advise that you be more careful what you click on.

Complain about the people in the thread but not mention them specifically by name, then call anyone who didn’t speak up in public a coward?

Sounds like a plan, and it doesn’t have to be in a PM Thread? Even better.

I feel like people that don’t like TFA or Rogue One are being treated like trolls. There seems to be little distinction between users that have legitimate and clearly articulated gripes and people that bitched constantly and rudely about how they’re the worst things ever.
