listen, I'm not trying to be abrasive on purpose just so people will pay attention a la Howard Stern and/or Rush Limbaugh...I'm just saying that that ad was over-the-top annoying and would not go away. Also, M. Night Shyamalan has had his day(s) in the sun and they are over. We shouldn't care about his films anymore. They are one trick ponies, and as far as I'm concerned that one trick is face-fucking the ticket buying public with some super pony dick. Shows like Robot Chicken have it right when they parody him, all anyone cares about is the super twist at the ending. And while I haven't seen the Happening I don't even care if he changes his formula on this film...coke zero is still diet coke with a shit eating grin, acknowledging the fact that you just got bent over backwards while you payed 15 bucks to see that thing. If you are really intrigued, download it. In this day and age when studio's and directors keep feeding you spoon fulls of steaming fecal matter, you might as well download the film for free and let them know that you won't pay to see what they are throwing out there.

amazing....i was super drunk one night and I went on a mission to find out the actor who played the narrator in The Big Lebowski, it was one of those things where if I didn't figure it out I was going to go crazy. Needless to say, I ended up calling one of my friends at three in the morning, knowing he had immediate access to the internet and making him IMDB it for me.


Sam Elliott...best voice in Hollywood.

Sam Elliot is the actor in the picture posted above my comment. I know my comment might not have had any real relevance to my original post or my initial reply, but upon seeing that image of the surly Cohen brothers bar patron and his superb mustache, that story immediately came to mind, and I felt the need to relate it.

Forgive me, then. The picture is blocked at work...would have made perfect sense if I could see it.

Carry on, good sir.

Yeah, I'm getting that vibe as well...

What? No! Nothing, I didn't say anything. Carry on. Nick's going to LOVE your first blog! Really, swear, he will.

Yes, but it's the advocating of illegal movie downloads that will truly win him over.

this is getting out of hand so here is a much more formal response to all of this craziness.

and by the way, this was not my first blog.

meh, let the card fall where they may. it was still annoying, and yes they need ads, but not ones that annoy the shit out of the readers. I stand behind my postings.

What's with the "they" ? If you are posting blogs with the grace of CHUD, I wouldn't expect such a detached attitude.

Everything aside, and to be as helpful as I can, I'll let you know (and this assumes that you haven't been an active board-reader before now - if you have, my apologies) that there is a long history of complaining about these ads. Even in my relatively brief time reading the boards and main page, Nick has addressed this complaint literally dozens of times.

In fact, cruise through the Leak Letters and I would be willing to bet there is a letter about it in 50% of them, bare minimum. To be honest, with the one you are specifically mentioning - at least it is movie related! Invasive marketing is a new reality for more than just websites like this, expect it more and more in every kind of media. I mean honestly, would you want to shell out big money for ads that nobody is going to see?

Again, I'm not trying to lecture you or anything - but (again, assuming) if you are new, I understand diving into a community with history that you aren't aware of. A community where you haven't experienced half a dozen threads devolving into rants about the ads and the resulting frustrations from the writers. This is one of those subjects that is very very tired. If you don't know that though, I can understand how the exasperation you get in return for your comment can seem just kind of grumpy or over-reactive.

My apologies if this came off at all condescending, I definitely didn't intend it that way.

touche, I have indeed been humbled. I didn't realize this was an ongoing problem and do feel remorse for my part in it's continuance, and although I haven't been reading the threads or blogs for a long time, I have been an extremely avid reader of C.H.U.D. for a long time and have to say that this is the first ad that has ever bothered me. And in response to my "they" I obviously don't mean anyone that doesn't have a part in the decisions involving the ad's and so on and so forth...in the end I wasn't even trying to really accuse anyone of anything. i am more angry with the people who make these ad's, and am just upset that they have invaded C.H.U.D.

But in the end Renn Brown you are not condescending, and I do appreciate that because I did have no idea that this was such a heated debate, thusly that is the end of me on this topic. Plus the movie is out now and from what I heard is horrible, so that is it's own just reward.
