It is annoying, and I'm still shocked it was ever allowed.

[Bilbo 3,709]

I'm not sure why it's still allowed tbh.

Says the man who has in fact changed his username. 

[Display Name 60]

I mainly entered this forum, because the forum of the Goldsmith website is very modest. Here, however, there are some interesting discussions about that guy. This forum is really the best and intelectually stimulating, as far as an internet forum is able to be.

[Disco Stu 15,495]

Whenever I go to other film score forums I don't see any real discussions of any kind beyond what's being released, what's unreleased, what they'd like to see released.  Basically just shallow talk about film music as consumerist, fetishist object.

 

Obviously some of that is inevitable, but in general there's a healthier attitude here.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

So we aren't douchebags? Huzzah!

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

Why are so many people against changing usernames? It's cool. It's like regeneration on Doctor Who.

Mods should just pin this thread as essential reading for newcomers!

[KK 3,307]

Yes. We're douchebags. So what? I don't see why it's so wrong for an online community to have some character. And for those who think we don't have insightful conversation, they aren't looking hard enough. I've said this before, but when it comes to film music, JWFan boasts some of the most engaging musical discussions online.

 

Of course, as with any community, there's a bit of a learning curve to it. It takes some patience, and maybe more newcomer kindness on our part, but it's definitely worth the initiation process.

[Docteur Qui 1,544]

I don't think it's any worse here than most other internet communities. Having said that, I'm pretty sick of some of the casual misogyny that rears its head from time to time. But I'm also noticing a few people calling it out which I guess is encouraging.

Ok, so it seems that most people here actually like Dunkirk...

except not telegraphed almost half a year in advance and not a complete change in character.

 

it'd be like if Chris Chibnall said that his 'big plans for change' on the show was to only rename it to Doctor What?

 

[Quintus 5,399]

You could probably play him actually.

hah, the show is barely about time travel these days. which is fine since the Doctor is still a compelling character, but there's not a whole lot that can be done anymore. except for turning him into a woman, of course.

There was the great "Under the Lake"/"Before the Flood" two-parter from 2015, but yeah in general the show's been moving away from the more timey wimey elements.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

By the way, Justin and I have been called misogynists, but I think the reasons why need some clarifications.

 

Both he and I have been emotionally stung by a fair few women, which has resulted in a jaded attitude toward them from both of us.

 

But speaking only for myself now, I really only dislike women in relationship-land. Otherwise in work-land and friend-land, where I know a lot of them, I'm perfectly fine with them and I just treat them like anyone else.

 

To put that in an analogous perspective, if I were a gay man, I'd probably end up hating men too if they treated me in relationships the same way women have in my own relationship-land. But I'd still be cool with all the men in work-land and friend-land because they haven't crossed over into the minefield of relationship-land.

[Quintus 5,399]

Well done for keeping your women-hating tendencies to your dating experiences then. Give yourself a pat on the back mate.

We all are.  You're the eccentric staring at women's chests all day.  I'm the white knight coming to the rescue of imaginary women who don't need saving.

 

Let's stay in our lanes!  Eyes on the prize!

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

Well, we have many apparently morally superior posters trying to draw attention to their moral superiority.

[Quintus 5,399]

Don't worry 'bout it - there's always your sexual violence and suffering videos to help you reassert your male dominance whenever you're getting peeved off here.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

See, this is what you don't understand about me. I like to view torture and also be tortured. Just because I watch videos with women being hogtied and put in cages doesn't mean I hate women. It's a kinky BDSM fetish. I blame Star Trek. That episode where Picard is tortured turned me onto it.

How hard can assimilating into our culture really be, if both Disco Stu and I did so perfectly within months? 

 

Of course, I did read the forums a little for a month or two before making an account -- not sure if it was the same with Stuart. But still. 

 

Maybe a fairly thick skin and friendly demeanor are traits only NeoNeoNeo JWFans possess? 

 

Anyway, I chose "We're the best freakin' film music community there ever was." I love this place to death. Sure, there's an overwhelming number of thread pages created here, but I'm not sure if too much of (what I see as) a good thing is a problem. 

[Dixon Hill 4,234]

One thing might be true - looking at how the poll results are divided among posters seems to bear it out - we do have at least a vague semblance of "cliques" going on here, or at least groupings of like personalities.  But they all play nicely!

 

Or maybe it's just that everyone voted in exactly the way I would have guessed.  It's comforting.

I did lurk for a couple of months.

 

And I agree, this is easily the most active film music forum because we're such a lively bunch!  It's fun!  I'm honestly glad I discovered this place.

I made my discography, I joined the forum, I spotted 4 experts... They helped me alot... This is the place to be, I must confess.

Yes it does. Because when they date me, they hate me. So I can only return the courtesy.

 

But when they work with me or are friends with me, they seem to love me!
