classic film mini-wank

Kornelios posts in classic_film:

Is it possible that this community could actually get away from these inane posts about who looks better in sailor shorts and which do you prefer, gene or fred, or who do you prefer, gene or bogart...

i find these utterly inane and make the community absolutely frivolous

I also dont see how they fulfill the community's self-description...

This is a community dedicated to the glory of classic film, old movies, classic movies or whatever you want to call it! Feel free to join when ever! We will have discussion about the classics, hollywood actors, & any movies from the 1920s to the 1960s...Hollywoods Golden Era!

PLEADING FOR DISCUSSION and stop these silly comparison posts. go create a comparison community...

i'd rather we have color bar and icon posts then these comparison posts...

A wee wank-a-thon ensues, ranging from the sobsobsister:

no more comparision questions from ME. i don't want to give anyone a goddamn stroke.

icons/colorbars have nothing to do with discussing the fucking glory of classic films,so how in the hell are you gonna say you'd rather see icons and colorbars?????????? sheeeeeeeeez.

to Hopeless_Tears'

*falls to the ground and begings sobbing* - THANK YOU!!!!! Finally someone else who is seriousally sick of these pointless posts!!!!

.My gurl Amy Van Doren delivers the capper (so far):

It's just Live Journal. Not Harvard. I think the questions are adorable and give the community variety. If I don't like a post I just scroll past it. Easy. I'd NEVER let something as frivolous as LJ upset me! This is just a fun hobby - not my life.

Bwah ha ha ha ha!

And the Academy Award for Complete Failure to Get The Point goes to ....

Rather than make a cheese and whine post, why doesn't Kornelios start a movie discussion?

And skimming the community posts, I think there's plenty of discussion. Take this gem for instance:

Was Norman Bates bipolar or skitzophrenic?

One for us all to consider and debate.

Anniesj (http://www.livejournal.com/users/anniesj) posts an emotional political rant (http://www.livejournal.com/users/anniesj/325518.html).

Touched (http://www.livejournal.com/users/touched) comments to say she doesn't like political rants (http://www.livejournal.com/users/anniesj/325518.html?thread=8831118#t8831118). People respond angrily. It's revealed (http://www.livejournal.com/users/anniesj/325518.html?thread=8831374#t8831374) that she's also said this in her journal. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/_touched/257681.html)

Annie posts about how hard it is when everyone reads your journal and wants to be friends with you (http://www.livejournal.com/users/anniesj/325771.html). Circe Tigana (http://www.livejournal.com/users/circe_tigana) posts about how people need to stop being so mean to Annie (http://www.livejournal.com/users/circe_tigana/567296.html).

Why is this wank worth reading? The inherent wank in Touch's original comment is amusing, and the Annie and Circe's over-the-top response screams "self-righteous BNF."
