Miller Movie Music Miniwank
The wank is pretty much over, but I think it deserves a mention for sheer asshattery.

On the IMDB (what, is anyone surprised?) movie database for Frank Miller's "Sin City," someone innocently asks what that catchy music in the trailer is.

Cue pretentious music-lovers who wank all over the OP for not being hip enough to know what the song is.

The stupid lasts until a kind voice of reason finally answers.

ETA Not only can the IMDB posters not answer a simple, politely phrased question, they also couldn't spot a joke if it had Tongue In Cheek painted on it in red letters and then bit them on the ass.

Since I can't watch the trailer at work...what is the actual music in the trailer?

It's 'Cells' by The Servant, apparantly.
Whoever they are, I'm not familiar with them.

Apparantly this comes up a lot on this board?

The trailer kicks butt and takes names, I'm telling you. I cannot wait to see this movie. *swoons*

But, here's what I find strange:

Fandom_Wank is supposedly this den of evil horrible people who go out of their way to make everyone around them miserable. We're evil, we're childish, we're immature, we hate everyone and everything, including ourselves.

And yet, I can ask the stupidest questions here, and no one *tells me* I'm stupid, they just politely answer. They'll give me links to things so I understand them better. If someone doesn't like the answer, they'll give me another one, so I understand better.

I guess this is because I like evil. Go evil!

/random rambling....

That's because answering questions gives knowlege, and knowledge is power, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and absolute corruption = evil for all.

Or maybe it's because we're not a den full of meanies and we just want more of our own to eat alive join in the fun.

Since I can't go look at all your icons for more detail, would you tell me who is in your icon/where it is from? Please? *bats eyelashes at you*

It's Tony Leung Chiu Wai (with Maggie Cheung in the background) from Wong Kar Wai'sIn the Mood for Love. Great movie (and the fact that Tony Leung is walking sex does not influence me, no not at all.)

Dude, your pinky fingers get a workout by typing a, q, ;, [, /, ? enter, and so forth. No need to go with the caps lock happy.

I have to type Alt+N five million kajillion times at work every day. (Stretchy!) I really don't think the pinky needs any extra workout.

I Don't Find It Hard To Read...I Don't Find It Hard To Read If Every Word ISN'T Capitalize...Even If It's Typed "LiKe ThIs" I Still Can Read It Perfectly, With No Problems Or Hesitations OR Complaints....

Because on a message board, what's important is that you can read it.

I literally just had shivers of dread go up and down my spine when I saw the big IMDB on the page. That place is just so... scary. And the stupid that goes on there is just so...overwhelming.

I've been wondering what the music was since I first started watching the trailer obsessively saw it. It's kinda nice to know that all my questions are eventually answered by F_W

Ok I know this a way old wank but I had to come back! At first I was like 42? WTF? What does that mean? Did I miss something? But then just last week my friend handed me The HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy and then I saw the light. All of a sudden I was like 'Whoa! I get it now! I must go back!'

So alas...my reply.

When I Read Sentences Like These, It Makes Me Think Of Dorfl And Terry Pratchett, And The Wank Seems A Little Less Painful.

(Forget getting an exercise, that's too much of a pain to do. I keep having to stop and remember that I'm _trying_ to type that way...)

Well. Um.

Yes! MEEE!

It looks like a comic book. It's a comic book movie that looks like a comic book. And.. and.. the red, the green, the blue, the gold. The gyrating Albahips. The comic book rain at the very end. It's so pretty.

Like, whoa! The lack of colors, man, the lack of colors!

Speaking of Sin City threads: Is the whole movie an elaborate hoax?

I thought it was pretty funny, but of course there are always people who miss the point... including our friend with the terrible typing habit.
