She's barbed, so I can look past her apparent desire to humiliate someone who’s new to the comment section. Your inner troll enjoys ‘jokes’ that fall well below the level of sophomoric humor. But if the goal is to run out the outsiders, then it seems like an OK strategy. I’m still going to post here when I encounter substantive posts like the one shizzy made. As for me going on and on, are you serious? Re-read the thread. First, it was shizzy who was arguing over the "dumbass point" and what Shepherd had to say on the matter. I merely said I agreed with him. If anyone appeared to be trying to change the world, it was SDaniels with her incessant demands that SantaBarbarian justify his assertion about mystic river. But that’s fine. I had asked her if perhaps her time would be better spent watching the film herself and wondered why she needed anyone to ‘convince’ her to do so. I now see that you guys have a little tight-knit online village here and are highly defensive when any newcomer appears to “mess” with one of the members. But I think SDsaniels is well equipped to take on any criticism without her fans injecting static into the thread.— February 16, 2010 11:45 a.m.

CuddleFish, why would you post that? The only person who was effectively mean there was SDaniels. Both of you know how to leave your opponents speechless, but for different reasons.— February 16, 2010 9:23 a.m.

Oh, I'm getting it now. I gotta earn my smug (to feel sophisticated enough to lob adolescent insults). Maybe I'll engage in a witty repartee that begins with "Alas" and earn ya'll respect. Kind of like the ending in "Juice." Except you all will be saying, "Yo, you got the smug now, man."— February 15, 2010 7:18 p.m.

ah, the resident troll. I'll write your name on the list of dimwits to ignore.— February 15, 2010 6:27 p.m.

You guys are boring. Sorry.— February 15, 2010 2:14 p.m.

There are plenty of online reviews of MY to peruse. Why did you feel like you needed convincing here? And what grade do you teach? If I had a dime for every teacher who had disdain for her pupils.— February 15, 2010 9:36 a.m.

"At any rate, it's hard to believe Mr. Shepherd and I are the only two Mystic River supporters on this forum." Hmm...It's not so black and white. From my amateur perspective, I gave the film a solid 8.5 out of 10. I still find some of the plot coindences indefensible, though not necessarily serious flaws. Perhaps I'm just perplexed by Shepherd's unforgiving attitude toward the coincidences in Leaving Las Vegas. I'd take consolation in Ebert's favorale review of LLV, but he gave Jennifer's Body a 3/5.— February 14, 2010 8:16 p.m.

SD, did you rent MR yet? It'd seem like time better spent than trying to get into an online boxing match. Taken as a whole (including the plot), the film didn't suck nor rise to the level of masterpiece. (I was with shizzy, except when he slipped in the S word merely to stir up the pot.)— February 14, 2010 8:57 a.m.
