Not an ad hom. I'm not saying you are 'like' Hitler. I'm saying you are literally the reincarnation of Hitler.

Proof:
1. You hate liberty
2. You hate freedom
3. You are a statist
4. You hate liberty

Also, let me correct your grammar because I am a master of written speech. That's "AN" ad hominem. You clearly hate grammar as much as you hate liberty.

I disagree with your post's premise.


That's ad hominem.

Dude, Hitler's dead. Proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Adolf_Hitler

You got me on the grammar thing though. Who knew you were such a grammar Nazi?

Haha. That's pretty good. Here's the truth in case anyone cares.

I unfriended DFT on FB a while back, and he's never let it go. I re-friended him because he came to a screening of my film. Later he unfriends me and then takes some sanctimonious position of whatever the hell who knows. He's a nice guy, and I like him, but I have a lot of good friends IRL and losing an internet friend isn't going to make me lose any sleep.

I still thank you for taking the time to drive from OC to LA to watch my film in a theater. Thank you for that. All this "Glenn close in Fatal Attraction" narrative is silly.

Look guys I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison and I went to pick her up in the rain but before I could get to the station in my pick up truck she got runned over by a damned old train.

Moral of this story?

How the fuck should I know? I'm the messenger not the interrupter.

It was nice of DFT to sit in the empty theater you rented, watching your student-caliber film projected off a laptop, but that doesn't entitle him to be such a sanctimonious asshole.


I'm glad you decided to make it personal. Thanks for the personal attacks.

The truth is of course that you wanted to score that "student-caliber film". But I listened to your scoring samples. They were okay, but not great. So I passed. This must've set you right the hell off, because ever since you've been a bit of a prick to me. No hard feelings, DFT. Be a smart guy right now and drop it. I'm sure you don't want to make this any more personal than you already have. I can do far worse.

You talk about personal attacks--then threaten dft?
You certainly have learned self awareness.
"Don't make this personal--or I'll personally come after you."

Here's a little advice--I know you won't take advice from a lowly person such as myself, but I'll try anyway--back away from the computer.

Give it a couple of days--come back and apologize to @DerHasisttot. Leave dft and everyone else alone. I guarantee if you follow this advice you will benefit.

We disagree on many things, but I enjoy your videos and many things you say make me think about my own preconceptions. I like that you are here.

You like it here; don't trash it.

This is the bias I'm talking about. Did you read his quoted comment with rose colored glasses? And where's the threat? I want him to stop making personal attacks against me over my film. He's an artist and should know better. Just because you side with him ideologically doesn't mean he's right.

I could say some really mean things, but I've held back. Because although our friendship is irreparable, I still think he's a genuine guy personally. A good man generally. Sweet in person. But we're both letting our ideological differences make us enemies online. And that's maybe how it should be.

I'm not attacking you. It's true that you paid the theater to show your film. It's true that no one came out to see it. It's true that your film is (while not terrible) certainly not a professional grade film. And it's true that it was projected off a laptop. Which one of these facts do you dispute?

I generously offered to score your flick pro bono not because I wanted to get in on the ground floor of the blankfist rocket to super stardom, but rather because you were a friend. There would have been nothing for me to gain by spending dozens of hours working for free on a film that no one would see other than the fun of working with a friend. And, you already had someone else lined up when I made my offer, so no need to lie in order to save face.

You have a real double standard when it comes to 'being a prick'. You dish out a steady stream of insults, abuse and cruelty on a daily basis, but when someone calls you on it or stands up to you, all of a sudden you are this innocent victim. You don't seem capable of understanding when you hurt others, but if there is even a whiff of criticism directed back towards you, you go into a rage.

blankfist says...

The theater wasn't empty. You're again being disingenuous. And it played for a week. The theater screwed us and switched our HD projection to cheaper projection on the last night, and that's when you came out. But maybe I didn't want to discuss this here.

Like maybe you don't want to discuss personal things you told me not to mention. And I won't. But you're just trying your damnedest to hurt me. It's petty. I'll say this now. I lied above. Your score was actually damn good. I think you're talented. Very talented. It's a shame you've only scored one movie. I'm sure if you scored mine, it would've been fantastic. I refuse to be mean over your art, dude. I earnestly and honestly think you're a great composer. I do. Sorry things have gotten so shitty recently.

I am more confused over this than anything else.
