oh god, this thread is going to get long. it's a shame all these classic posts will be lost in the flame wars that inevitably begin as soon as we hear the words "no score". so here, for the latecomers, is the page 5 recap, the highlights of each page of the thread so far:
page 1.PTA pwned your main goal, GT. Another thing to add to the PTA is a fucking jerk thread.
"Dood, wtf? I wanted to be the American Bresson. It was my main goal!"
"You snooze, you lose."
"lol."
stefen fucking owned GT with this riff on GT's inimitable speech style. "my main goal" is no "my story isn't decorated with blowjobs" but it was elevated to brilliance here. and then BALTHAZAR! hahaha, gotta love that donkey (RIP). really great especially among highlights such as stefen's own metal gear solid quip, and Polky's "silently judging like crazy" (<---- marquee material) which was so good silias couldn't help plagiarizing it only two pages later (a definite lowlight).
page 2.And we start the pattern of crazy again...
1.) PTA will mention what books he was influenced by for this one. Everyone will rush out and read them. Love them.
2.) PTA will mention what movies he was influenced by for this one. Everyone will rush out and see them and come back, wondering why he chose those...mild disappointment.
3.) Screenplay will slowly leak. People will read it, come back and tell everyone it sucks, it's boring, "W the fuck?"
4.) Teaser Poster comes out... work of genius... everyone will reference it in every thread here.
5.) Teaser trailer will come out, everyone will watch it a million times, jizz all over, tell everyone that hated the screenplay to suck a D.
5.) Official Release Poster will come out. Everyone will hate it, screenplay jerk will be all "told you so".
6.) Official trailer will come out. Amazing. Screenplay jerks take it back.
7.) Movie comes out... two people will hate it... everyone else loves it. One line will get quoted over and over.
8.) That line gets so over-quoted and referenced that the people who originally started quoting it will go back and erase original posts in which they quoted said line. Then they'll say how much they hate it when people quote that line.
9.) Brett Ratner
can't wait
RK comes through with the buzzer beater at the bottom of the page, with the succinct summary of pretty much what always happens before and after PTA news. this hilarious list pushed cronopio's comeback to a dignified second spot.
page 3I will remember today.
this says it all., that's exactly the reason this place is so hard to quit, who outside these freak forums would even get this excited about ANYTHING? i posted the news on my facebook like a good fanboy and only my secret internet friends replied. everyone else must be thinking "time to click hide on this guy! his lack of interest in stupid quizzes offends me!"
page 4i actually really like sean penn, but my patience is brimming with him and his elk these days.
maybe i can make this a running thing cos after 100 pages (next week) and lack of a search function, too much will be lost, depending on the amount of actual highlights.
