I'm a lover of all things film and food, and there's nothing better than sharing the experience of both with great friends.

I have become an auntie! I gave birth to my beautiful nephew. My brother and his gay lover are gonna be the best parents in the world! I’m so proud of them.
Btw those who claim that pregnancy is such a beatiful time are lying through their teeth. I have never felt and looked more shitty.
I don’t really come on here anymore, but this was too amazing to pass up without giving you a huge congratulations! That is so awesome that you did that for your brother and his partner; I’m pretty sure that makes you the automatic Best Aunt In The World.
Much love to you Sasha, you are an amazing person and one of my favorite posters here. 🙂
ReplyJanuary 1, 2016 at 3:31 pm #442013I’m pretty much over this place because of certain people, but I’ll just leave this is as a final word- one of the last private convos I had with Babypook/Teri that made me decide that I didn’t want to have any personal contact with her. I have never had any vendetta against her (and despite her immature name calling, I STILL don’t), I have only engaged with her on these forums because I was either defending myself or someone else on here from her hateful words, even though she likes to twist other’s words around and act like she’s somehow always a victim and that the people who dislike her don’t have any reason. Silly, silly stuff.
Anyway, this is my last post on this subject, and if anyone wants any further proof of how bizarre Babypook’s thoughts were about our friendship and her constantly accusing me of being a follower of SF or something (which I absolutely wasn’t- I haven’t talked to him since he was banned, and besides, he and I had harsh words for each other on more than one occasion, though I came to respect his opnion and knowledge of film), you can PM me- there’s plenty.
The saddest part is that I genuinely appreciated Babypook at one point in time, and the nice things I have said to her publicly and privately still stand- she was a solid friend here on the forums when I had some rough times, and I will always appreciate that. But this new thing she is doing where she is just going out of her way to try to sell some bold faced lie about me has got to stop (I’m speaking for no one else but ME, I don’t know what everyone else’s stories are).
This exchange is circa December 2012/January 2013 and hasn’t been altered or edited in any way- the dates and time stamps are wonky because this site’s messaging system, like everything else, is buggy as fuck:babypook
That just might have been the straw that broke my back Tye. I’ve always liked you, but I’ve also wondered at your support of others against me. I’m not talking about disagreeing either. If you like, I could do that to you, but I never have.
I hope we can work this out, but if not, that’s the end of whatever cameraderie we’ve ever had here.
You actually have no idea what I’ve gone through with “Icky”. If you’d like to side with him, and Renaton, please be my guest.

You are right- I have no idea whatsoever about what you might have been through with Icky. I only laughed because of the context of the post, and the last sentence or two. I wasn’t even entirely sure that you two were being serious or if you guys have like a sarcastic friendship or something. There was absolutely no intention to hurt you.
As for my “support of others against you”, I have no idea what that means. I don’t have anything against anyone, even when I disagree. No one has done anything to me to make me hate them. I certainly haven’t conspired against anyone, least of all against you.
I’m sorry you feel this way and think that I’m doing something behind your back. That’s very disappointing for me because I thought that we were cool with each other and that you got me more than you obviously do.
And really? “Siding” with Renaton? Look Teri, it’s cool if you’d rather not be cool with me anymore. I’m not going to fight for your friendship. I didn’t think I’d have to.

I am driving home from work now, so if I don’t write back right away it is because I am on the road.

I’ll admit to being overly sensitive Tye. I am stressed right out, and you know why.
If I didnt want to remain friendly, I would simply have put you on ‘ignore’ and forgotten about it. But I felt compelled to tell you my feelings, as crazy as they may sound to you.
I’ll also tell you something else. About a year ago, I got a pm from someone who wrote me at home, especially to let me know that …..someone who is ‘friendly with me (sic)’ wrote to them and said that, any hostility between he and I is unimportant to them, and that any relationship built would have nothing whatsoever to do with my own feelings.
Hahahaha! I just read that over and I have to say, it’s difficult to state without just stating it.
Anyways, about Icky. A few months ago we got this letter from the big guy saying that as moderators, it was our DUTY to report (that little shit) if he makes an appearance again; that he doesnt deserve to be here because of the many personal attacks he made against him in the threads.
But, at this point, Icky had already written to me telling me he’s been banned, and wanting me to advocate with Tom to let him return. Seriously. So, I did. And then, I protected his irritating ass for months. Of course, he doesnt know that. And I’m not telling you this because I think I’m some kind of freaking hero. I just dont like going after anyone, believe it or not. I believe in second, third, and fourth chances. There is afterall, such a thing as redemption. I wanted to give you a peak at one of the sources of my irritation towards Icky, who revealed partial truths in his post (which I started, granted) and revealed things which shows what a classless jerk I think he is. And, you laughed with him at me.
So while I’m being honest, please dont mistake my reaction to any disagreement between us about films. That’s ridiculous. But you do and have supported others directly against something I’ve posted. I’d rather that you disagreed directly to me in the threads. I can take it, and I’d far prefer it because that sparks conversation, and you and I have had many many of those.
It’s hard to describe because it’s not like I’m objecting to anyone or numbers agreeing about a film that I dont happen to share the same feelings about. This is a subtler thing and has prompted me to write to you about it in the past, although, not as succinctly as this.
Also, I’d fight for your friendship, whether I’d ‘have to’ or not. There’s a vast collection of fools and ignoramouses here, and we sane folk need to stick together.December 30 at 04:09 pm babypook
What’s up Tye? Will I get any kind of response, good or bad from you now?
December 31 at 04:44 pm Tye-Grr
Sorry, I’ve been working all day (I just got home and I’ve been up since 3am) and I haven’t had the time to articulate the kind of response I wanted to give you. In short, to my knowledge, we’re fine. Obviously I’ll talk about it more in depth later, but I guess I just don’t understand what happened. I like to avoid drama at all cost, and keep in mind that I am not saying you are drama, I just don’t know how any of this came to be. I come on these boards, I post about movies and music, and I keep to myself and either agree it disagree with other’s opinions, never having a bias, unless someone gives me a reason to dislike them. I don’t form alliances, I don’t have a clique… In fact, you are the ONLY person I even message privately on these boards (aside from an occasional random message here or there from a few other posters). I’m still confused as to why you went off like that, and though you explained yourself, I don’t know… It was all just very weird for me. But anyway, I like letting bygones be bygones, so I’m just willing to move on and carry on as things were. Thank you for responding and caring. My quote earlier about not fighting for a friendship came out wrong- I guess I meant that I wasn’t going to beg you to stay my friend on here if you didn’t want to. I’m just not the type to do that.

I’ve seen it three times already, and I don’t think I’m done yet.
I have seen it twice now, and I will probably go again as well since I have some friends who didn’t make it out to see it yet- I will likely tag along.

Personally I loved “Star Wars ~ The Force Awakens”. The theatre I was at went nuts the entire time tonight. I dont want to go into it much cuz I dont want to spoil it for anyone, but again I loved it.
As for Oscars, I think it will get 6 nominations:
Best Picture
Score
Production Design
Visual Effects
Sound Mixing
Sound EditingIt’s got an outside shot at Costume Design and Editing too.
Ditto. My theater was really into it and was cheering and laughing all throughout. And they were also ecstatic for Rey.
YES my theatre was exactly the same!!! But the best part was wheny my audience collectively went NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I think you guys know what I am talking about lol.
[/quote]Same. One of the biggest cheers came shortly after that, and I think you know what part. 😉
The biggest cheer happened in the final conflict… Again, I think anyone who has seen it knows what part, but the cheers were DEAFENING. I clapped so hard my hands hurt, I will not lie… when (SPOILERS!!) Rey pulled the lightsaber to her with the force, everyone was freaking out and clapping and yelling “YES!!!”, it was AMAZING. One of the best moments I’ve ever had in a movie theater. (END SPOILERS).
It’s definitely more than just a movie, it is totally an experience. I’m seeing it again tonight and I can’t wait.

ReplyDecember 18, 2015 at 8:36 am #203016I think it could get a Best Picture nomination. I don’t think any other above the line nominations will happen though, although I think JJ Abrams is a dark horse contender for Best Director.
Harrison Ford ain’t happening. The veteran returning to a character that made him a star that is Oscar-less slot is going to Sylvester Stallone, and he deserves it. Ford is good in ‘TFA’, but it doesn’t ask much of him at all.
Of the actors, Daisy Ridley is the standout, and she is just terrific. But she unfortunately has no chance being the lead actress, that category is just too competitive. John Boyega is great, but his category is even more so.
I think Adam Driver SHOULD be considered for Supporting Actor- he is fantastic. But I doubt that happens. He would be deserving of the consideration though, IMO.
The screenplay is not getting nominated. It’s serviceable, and it’s funny, but it’s nowhere near enough to get in.
Cinematography is strong, but again, it’s just not distinct or great enough to break in this year.
Realistically, I think these nominations could very well happen:
Best Picture
Sound Editing

Production Design
Costumes
Visual Effects
Original Score

Best Director- JJ Abrams

Best Actress- Daisy Ridley
