- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

I hate "cinema".
This guy sucks. Even Get Out was shit, but no one will shut up about that dumb movie when his name comes up.

Y'all sleepin' on Spike Lee.
Stanley Kubrick
I agree in the sense that people act like his shit doesn’t stink. Nolan’s shit is hit or miss for me. I liked Memento, The Prestige and The Dark Knight. I absolutely hated Interstellar and the other two Batman movies he did. I thought Inception was very average. I hate Leo DiCaprio as an actor and the amount of times they said “waiting for the kick” or some variation of that in Inception made me want to bludgeon Nolan with a slab of concrete. Most of his movies look too clean to me also. I can’t really explain why. A lot of people in suits, a lot of bright lights, a lot of bokeh.
I love a lot of Scorcese movies. King of Comedy, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino, Cape Fear, and Shutter Island are all great imo. Wasn’t a fan of The Departed or Wolf of Wall Street though. I didn’t even bother with The Irishman, I assumed it’d be embarrassing.
Spielberg I think is a good mention. He has done some enjoyable big budget films no doubt, but some of his more serious works are fucking shit. Schindler’s List is very overrated to me, besides Ralph Fiennes performance and not because of the “haha Nazi” angle. I fucking hate ET with every fibre of my being. It’s such a depressing piece of shit movie. Hook stunk. I can’t hate Jaws, Goonies, Poltergeist, the Indiana Jones trilogy, Jurassic Park or Saving Private Ryan though. He has a ton of overrated stuff though and he really hasn’t done good shit in a while. He directed a great episode of Columbo also, Murder By The Book.
I might say Tim Burton although he is kind of a niche guy anyway. But I don’t think I particularly like anything he has done since maybe Ed Wood in 1994.
Guillermo del Toro’s films are overrated to me. I’m just not a big fan of his style and people jerk him off all the time. I don’t think he sucks at all though.
Realistically it has to be Jordan Peele. He makes horror films. They are maybe the only genre taken less seriously than comedy. It’s not a hard genre to do, and it’s even easier to do when you rely on gimmicky “current year” sociopolitical commentary and braindead twists. Try to create an unsettling, suspenseful tone and maintain it for 2 hours like a Kubrick or even a modern guy like Ari Aster whose films blow Peele’s away. He really is mediocrity personified.

I'll take the bump for this one but Scorcese has been living off the legacy off a couple amazing movies for decades now.

bro, i'd say "directing is overrated" but kubrick is to it like lebron to basketball (which is overrated).
I seriously don't understand all the praise for Memento, outside of the acting. It's a plot that relies too much on convenience for the sake of the narrative (ex. An amnesiac just happens to meet a complete cunt that he semi-falls for and then he just so happens to forget at the moment where he realises that she fucked him over)
The fans of the movie will just excuse all of that. "Like oh maybe he misremembers". Or "it has an unreliable narrator". Like any plot hole or odd character choices can just be chalked up to the main character's amnesia.
But this is a problem with practically all amnesia based movies. That the characters remember things at the perfect time for the plot. And the audience is kept in the dark about things that would be obvious to the actual characters. Memento does things to an extreme where the story is told out of order.
A good movie about amnesia is Dark City. The explanations for why characters cannot remember anything is literally perfect and works in universe. Angel Heart is another, where a private detective takes on a case from a new client, but during his investigations he has extreme blackouts. And the ending explains the blackout episodes for the main character (and the viewers). Mulholland Drive and Pandorum use amnesia as well and they have insane protagonists.
