Also, to anyone who just up and hates this video (much like our friend bubblehead has), I have one simple piece of advice to bounce back at you...

Praise and constructive criticism accepted. Snobbery, cynicism, elitism, and overall hateful douchebaggery, again, is not.

Anyone else?

Errr! I'm sorry, you have the wrong definition. Jerking off your ego doesn't equal constructive criticism, please try again when you can take ~~it up the ass without lube~~ the real thing.

	Dude, what the hell was that? o_O I love how anything that's correcting... well, anything about his clearly PARAGON WORK OF ART OMG has to be a flame. Because you can't say anything bad about TEH ART. (Reply to this)

	OMGWTF. Really, WTF? In the second chunk of advice, the only point he doesn't disagree with is the one about the 'strong opening'. Anything else is OMG TEH FLAMEZ and obviously not worth the screen they're written on. He even snarks on the people who tell him how to fix the interlacing glitch, which is an ACTUAL PROBLEM. Just, o_O. (Reply to this)

	Wow. Not only did NemoSperry break Ebert's law, but ... he actually mentions Ebert. Does that make it Ebert's Law squared? (Reply to this)

Tell me...has Roger Ebert ever done any films? How about Gene Shalit? Have any literary or art critics done any of their respective media? Or at least enough to get recognition to where they wouldn't have to become critics? I think not.

Roger Ebert wrote the steaming pile of shit that is Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

Gene Shalit has been on TV since 1952, and has appeared as an actor (playing himself, but still, lines and everything) in three or four movies. One would think he'd have learned a little about movies and television in the meantime.

Neither has anything to do with whether they can recognize bad movies.

NemoSperry, after one AMV, is such an expert he is beyond criticism. He made it 72 megabytes as an artistic statement. You plebe.

	I love how he equates a "read the guides, they help" with "you suck." Especially when he goes on to think interlacing occurs as part of the ripping process. I actually DID choke on Kool-Aid at that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Maybe he's got a Monty Python Faulty Phrasebook?

"Ah, the GUIDE REFERENCE! Very Happy A very subtle way of saying "YOU SUCK!""

Now this may seem like asshattery, but it's actually not his fault! See, some anti-hungarian radicals are distributing phrasebooks that falsely translate perfectly normal things into hilarious insults. And kooky hijinx ensue!

...or maybe he's just an asshat.

	A lot of people just don't get it, and like to hide behind a face of hostility. There are A LOT of snobs in art, writing, and fandom these days that just don't see my talent; rather they strike me down because I don't suit their tastes. Is he serious? Honestly, I just... wow.

	I, too, was boggling over this. Odds are, kid, that if the whole world is telling you that you need to improve, it's not because they "don't see your talent", it's that you don't see your own faults. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	i love how in the end, the one person who made a point to say "i am not passing any kind of judgement until i see it" and gave very precise advice on how the vid could be better, was publically criticized even more than the initial offending post. and now everyone knows that the author is an asshat, since he couldn't even manage to make that bit of wankery private.
