I just don‘t understand how this fucking guy kept doubling down on fucking nothing. Thanks for letting this continue for as long as it did

    I was so curious to see if they’d fucking get it but no

    their history of posting on Fuck AI and having one mid post here really made them think they could come in here, refuse to engage with the topic of the thread, and quadruple down on uhh the anti-AI documentary being unwatchable because it reminds them of a movie only they watched

    The 1993 movie was kinda popular back in the day. I think y'all need to stop overthinking what they said and just take their actual words for face value because it is confusing if you actually knew about the 1993 film and saw this post's title thinking that's what they were showing.

    Seeing as we never explicitly litigated what happened and mostly just trolled the guy: I mean it would be one thing if the guy came in and made a joke about it sharing the name with another, unrelated movie. Like, ok, sure, whatever. But guy came in specifically criticising the title of a documentary. And acting like the movie was the sole owner of the title, which as was pointed out, was almost definitely taken from the name of a thought experiment. Things get named after other things all the time! It’s fine!

    Like imagine this was an instance discussing sports and doping. And Gerard posted about the documentary “Icarus” being released on youtube. Then guy comes along getting pissed and confused that the documentary shares the name with "Icarus", the seventh episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Guy should just get banned for being off topic. Instead we trolled him for entertainment.

    Anyway no further responses from me, don’t really know why you’re going to bat for this guy, people have been banned for less

    How is it confusing??? Do you only know about two movies?

    I only know about one movie, the 2016 biopic of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it on IMAX this Friday. (Weird that it's suddenly in theaters again, I kind of thought it flopped, but see no need to investigate further.)

    Most movies don't share the same fucking name. 🤦‍♂️

    Gotta admit I was sure they meant GiTS at first. Otherwise I would have gone with Maximum Overdrive or Lawnmower Man or something

    they dug in so hard about it being that specific obscure movie that I’m pretty sure they were trying to derail the discussion into a weird argument instead of, you know, anything related to the documentary
