- 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.

WWAW The Warriors?
- Thread starter ThePepsiColaRapist
- Start date
Gay as Fuck. But still a cult classic and one of my favorite movies. Walter Hill went on to direct 48 Hours and there were a lot of similar elements here. The book was written by an NYC social worker who adapted "Anabasis" by the ancient Greek historian Xenophon and set it in his work world.
I've probably watched The Warrior more times than any film. Saw it at a drive-in with my parents in the late 70s. Rented it a ridiculous amount of times in the 80s. Bought the VHS in the 90s. Own several DVD versions of it today.
I like The Warriors, a lot.
Solid movie. Solid game.

Also great movie for NY scene misdirection: The initial gang powwow in Van Courtland Park the Bronx was clearly filmed at Riverside Park in Manhattan. The "96th" St train station was a rebadged Hoyt Schermerhorn (96th st is tiny compared to the station they filmed in), and when they emerged from the 96th st station, they were clearly standing on 72nd st.
Just found a deep dive into it: http://warriorsmovie.co.uk/production/filming-locations

Fucking classic.
Waiting for the woke remake where they're a transgender gang
A fun little movie, a snapshot of a vastly different time. Nowadays it'd be nogs spraying everyone with bullets and it'd be maybe six minutes long, but back in the 1970s it was fairly radical.
The Lizzies will all be about 6’3” and end up killing the Warriors.
The game fucking ROCKED.
Solid movie. Solid game.
That Hoyt-Schermerhorn train is (apparently) the train that NYC pimps out for film shoots. When you're commuting around NYC, you can even see the closed-down platform at the HS stop, that they dust off and repurpose for the production crew when it's time to shoot something. My boy was a BG for the Joker film; they used that platform and an old MTA train, for the chase scene between Phoenix and the detectives.
Drove through SF during the "Bay to Breakers" marathon many years ago. It's like a live-action version of this, but none of them are there to fight. Group of guys in tutus on one corner, matching gimps on another, and I swear I saw a pack of Baseball Fairies.
edit to add: Movie and game rule, fucking fantastic soundtracks.

It's one of the few cases where the director's cut is worse than the theatrical release. In the "Ultimate Director's Cut" DVD, Walter Hill put in these gay looking comic book interstitials that take away what little grittiness a movie with roving gangs of baseball fags can have:
Nice "millenniums", stupid.

I knew which gang it would be before I clicked.
Can the Dark Mode Army get some sort of indication when there's a link in the text, @admin?

Any particular reason that is an actual thing?
Because filming in the Bronx in 1978 was a surefire way to lose your equipment, maybe your life.
