Okay--I started to skim the Something Awful movie threads, and now my head is dizzy. What is the poster ancestry of SA? I mean, what's their demographic? They seem to throw a lot of big words at small concepts (no, I don't mean the Battleship thread, I'm actually reading about phallic symbols and authorial intent in The Avengers) and I'm trying to get a mental picture The People Who Care About That.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The hammer is Joss's penis?

EVERYTHING is Joss's penis.
Apparently modern literature has reached the point where any power is a phallic symbol, because penises are all that and then some.
There is a point at which crit becomes entirely useless, and that Avengers thread looks about ten pages past it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Also any object that is longer than it is wide, or any object that is wider than it is long.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If it's longer than it's wide it's a phallus
If it's longer than it's wide it's a phallus
If it's not longer than it's wide, simply turn it on its side
If it's longer than it's wide, it's a phallus

The sections I've frequented seem to be a core of former military with migrations from Myspace and 4Chan accreting around them.

Hey. New board.
I posted on SA for a while. I... don't know what it's about. I still visit a private board populated primarily by SAers (or former SAers) and I... kind of hate the posters.
Some threads get all intellectual, others are all "hehe boobs"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
