Fuck that guy
-
- 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.

Apocalypse Now is arguably the greatest film ever made
I can’t count how times I’ve watched it, Hopper and Duvall performances were something else. Even Brando only being in for a bit at the end is great.
It's difficult for anyone who grew up on CGI to even contemplate, and for anyone who doesn't know how difficult it is to get a low-budget film made, let alone something like Apocalypse, the Herculean effort that went into making that film. Everything in it is real. Captured on film.
It literally broke and bankrupted Coppola. He made the Godfather, GF2, The Conversation and Apocalypse. 4 masterpieces. He made some good films after that, some mediocre and a few stinkers. But Apocalypse kind of ruined him. What a high to peak on though.
Go sing about it, Ray.
Yeah the making of Apocalypse Now is almost as interesting as the movie itself - like I said earlier the 70s the studios let the director do what they wanted because they were making hits but then it lead to this where they were way over budget / shooting / etc - replacing Harvey Keitel after a month of shooting with Martin Sheen, then he has a heart attack and everything else. I think they said the original cut is something like 5 or 6 hours so they really went crazy with it. On top of all that they had to deal with Brando (who the studio was against for being in the Godfather since he was known to be so difficult) and all his wacky shit. I think they had to build him a house boat that had to be carried around by the crew.
Coppola was really never the same after that, I know he’s been making a movie recently that I’ve heard is having “apocalypse now” type problems and I think he put up a good part of the money for it by selling part of his Coppola wine.

Thanks to OP, I am watching Sideways. I am enjoying it. Good rec Nod Flendors
Lads, I'm fascinated by the old Hollywood way of handmade sets, beautiful matte background, and hundreds to thousands of extras. It was a real life feeling that I don't see anymore because of how Hollywood has become just another business.
- Universals Hunchback of Notre Dame with Lon Chaney was a million dollar picture, could've broke them if it didn't make bank (which it did); but after the horror boom of the early thirties, a string of failures pulled Universal away from the Laemle family, bought numerous times over by non-entertainment companies like MCA and GE until Comcast recently landed them.
- Cleopatra by Fox, with Elizabeth Taylor, almost killed Fox - which was bought later on by Australian cunt Rupert Murdoch, and recently sold to Disney.
- Paramount about broke itself when the theater monopolies were outlawed and sold off practically all their old library (oddly enough, owned by Universal now). They're looking for new owners as we speak.
- Citizen Kane, and the deal they made with Orson Welles, nearly broke RKO thanks to William Randolph Hearst having a bug up his ass about the real meaning of the movie. They became a shell and the library was bought by Ted Turner, whom got bought out by Warner Brothers.
- Cimino's Heavens Gate about killed United Artists, which is why it merged with the rotting corpse of MGM - which just recently was bought by Amazon.
- And look at what's been happening with Warner Bros., all thanks to a board looking for a payout, selling it to AT&T who then strips it bare and sells it to Discovery. They were my favorite studio and it's a bloody corpse now.
The New Hollywood era, while it's not my favorite, was supposed to be the rebirth of art in film. It's why that era is so many other people's favorite. And we all know when it died - when Vic Morrow and two Vietnamese kids were decapitated by a crashing helicopter.
But that's a story for another time. I'm a little drunk.
Great fucking book.
See above with my last sentence. The bombs didn't help, but that Twilight Zone movie fiasco nearly ruined all of them. Spielberg was the one who fixed it, barely, and while I get why he did it, I do think it made the quality of films, due to the loss of creative control, get much worse.
Killing Them Softly was a great spiritual sequel. based on another book by the same series.
Laddie, Midnight Express... Pair that one night with Harold and Maude?
I kept drinking after the movies were over. And I really like Harold and Maude.
Did you like the show Dallas?
LOVE Dallas. JR Ewing is my favorite character, have a statue of him I got for my birthday. Christ, I've talked about my love for Dallas so much on here, I can't bloody believe I didn't mention it in my list.
You had me thinking about everything I've ever liked that I bloody missed my absolute top show.
But again, like I said - I've been drinking tonight.
Lmao. Nice one, Ray. Good to hear.
I've seen the video before, I won't share who showed me it because he really wasn't proud afterward.
It's so fucked up to watch. The different angles, the muffled live audio. I'm seriously surprised the studios didn't go scorched Earth and cripple every director going forward, regardless of box office power.
Thanks for the catch, Lad. I'm sure it gave you doubts.
Not that I mind. Always helps to have doubt.
Plus there's a nice peckah to get her in the mood
Playtime is my go-to. Very charming and lotta laughs.
