Display Name 60 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 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.

Popular Post Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2017 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.

KK 3,307 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 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. 12 minutes ago, Hurmm said: "K.K. -> KK. -> KK" This one takes the cake.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 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.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 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. 30 minutes ago, Stefancos said: He's no longer wearing a shirt on Facebook! As I recall, I used to be topless in my JWFan avatar.

Will 2,215 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 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 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
