badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

The Happening is absolutely hilarious, I love it.
Stargate SG-1 did the "the beach that makes you old" concept but good in S01E08 "Brief Candle"
M Night, please make a movie called bean.
Beanjemin Button (it's a bean that cooks backwards)
I would watch this 
Speaking of getting old, I once saw someone describe Shyamalan as the Benjamin Button of directors, in that he was a talented auteur director who grew into a clumsy film student. The accuracy of it will always stick with me.
I think Shyamalan is the greatest living American filmmaker and I'm not joking
This is the plot of his latest movie: "The Post that makes you Have Hot Takes"
I'd love to hear some rationale for this, it's quite a take, or is it a bit?
not OP but M Night is also an entirely independent filmmaker who self-funds his movies through his own production company. his movies are ass but they are entirely his own un-meddled vision, which is rare these days and i do admire
No and in fact I find the mainstream reception to his later works somewhat puzzling. All of the films I've seen of his* (Which is all but 4 now) I've found deftly constructed and profoundly emotionally resonant. Each of his films have moved me in ways 99% of other Hollywood productions have failed to. Plus I think he's one of the greatest image makers of modern cinema, each film is gorgeously shot with heaps of incredibly evocative compositions. I think his detractors seem to focus on his perceived weakness as a screenwriter, and I can see how his dialogue might not be for everyone, but it clicks for me. Maybe it's because I'm not neurotypical enough but I don't find myself concerned with how conversations are "supposed to sound".
This take rocks, comrade.
All the others are secretly zombies or Canadian, like Tom Green.
Yeah but only because all the other ones died on New Years' but the news are being held back. This was the plot of the Happening right?
We need more movies in the "_____ that makes you _____" genre
The Beach that makes you Old
The Forest that makes you a 19th Century Villager
The Island that makes you Poo
The Arby's that makes you Chinese
The Podcast that makes you a Serf
You're in fucking 1320, motherfucker-
The Arby's that makes you Chinese
How do you say roast beef sub in cantonese?
I don't know, i haven't been to that Arby's yet
That one's actually based off a French science fiction comic
Old? He was making movies about us?
