Top 200

someone, maybe ethan or omar little, posting about a certain type of girl, who is sort of overly vulgar and really funny/hot at first but wears thin after a while—featured the phrase "id like to give nietzsche a blowjob" or something to that effect

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?action=showall&boardid=77&threadid=479

good thread but its not it--there was a specific post about that kind of girl, and how quickly you get tired of her, and im so sure it involved the phrase "id give nietzsche a bj" or something like that

Lol I clicked that link like four times before I realized I can't view it cuz it's on 77.

Sorry, I am of no help.

this thread is about THE WACKNESS

yesss thank u, not quite what i had remembered t as but basically the same

for posterity:

Contrary to the Katherine Heigl-type neurotic, beautiful, and responsible female lead, Thirby plays the indie-standard ideal female, what I like to call the "Quirky Aggressive". She's pretty without makeup, wears Converse, and says quirky and aggressive things.

SIGNS YOU ARE A QUIRKY AGGRESSIVE FEMALE:

#1.) You do drugs or you like talking about how you do drugs.

#2.) You use unique, half-witty, half-annoying sayings like "Dudesies!", "For YAYs" and make jokes about "Rim Jobs" because you are so cool with your sexuality.

#3.) On dates, rather than awkwardness, you manifest your wants/needs/insecurities through aggressive lines like "So when are you going to kiss/fuck/lick my C???"

(Advice: Quirky Aggressives are only beloved in indie films. Please do not try to be one in real life. Do not make rim job and poop jokes on dates. For the first few months your dude will be all like, "OMG, you're so cool and funny! You're not like other girls!" because you said something about giving "Nietzche a BlowJ" or some Quirky Aggressive-esque bullshit, but then after about six months the charm wears off and you find yourself being hushed in public places or cringed at just for telling your old, beloved rim job joke! You are being silenced, Quirky Aggressive. But Quirky Aggressives won't be silenced so they keep going, because, like, they're quirky and aggressive, and shutting up for a dude is so antithetical to their personality.

i think it was a pappawheelie thread plax

I guess this isn't the thread you're looking for, Hurting?

ILXor rhymes.

yes! the ghosts of resume past

i remember u liking it

thread were we did that thing were you hit random on wikipedia and get the name of your band, and then search flickr and use random and that's your album cover, and then something else for the title etc?

Turns out there were two of these:

Randomly Generate Fake Album Covers (2009 Facebook craze done ILM style)
your own album cover internet meme

thank you. i did search, but i'm not great at searching.

Use google instead and search from outside, that's the only way I ever manage to do these things.

The second thread also has the reference to the lost film Human Wreckage, which has been haunting me ever since I read about it.

i just wanted to know the name of my band album, "mr do's castle" was at the tip of my tongue.

i used to use google instead of the search but at some stage i'd forgotten that's how you do it.

lost films are weird/sad.

Can somebody direct me to that fat, hairy, scowling guy in his tiny bedroom, posing in his way-too-revealing leathers and his guns, of which there are many? You know the guy.

(I thought it was linked to "So not gonna happen" in some way, but if so, I couldn't see the link.)

so not gonna happen 3

What about that one WDYLL thread from a few years ago where some female ILXor (Abbott I think?) posted a picture of her sitting in a hotel room and over the next 24 hours tons of ppl started Photoshopping it and when she came back to the thread she was just like "wtf this is creepy"

xpost many thanks!

Does anyone remember a thread where every poster was an animal? They all had names like Ossie Ostrich and Barbara Bear and so on. The thread title was something like "Harry Hamster's Thread for Animals Only", but I can't recall the exact words.

Never mind, I found it:

Bernard Badger's Animals-Only Zone: NO HUMANS ALLOWED

i can't find the thread i started about how frequently you think about your irrelevance in the context of the universe. not showing up when i search for threads started under my login, maybe it was in the sandbox?

i wouldn't worry about it.

We are but a little gleam of time between two Eternities, so why then did I spend two hours standing in front of the copy machine today?

nope not it, it was one i started.

Where is the Norway movie posters thread?

What was the thread that was something like minature nostalgic stories of hearing a particular song?

i have a vague memory of a good old nabisco post about the way people use irony (and "getting irony") to mark in-group/out-group status on the internet...does that ring any bells?

seems people have gotten a little too creative with the naming of wdyll threads (the last one that shows up on a search for wdyll is from june of this year) and they're now impossible to find

do you look like what, september 2015?

hehe, sorry! i named that one. if you search for what do you look like 2015 it's the first result, but i should have added (wdyll) to it as well

There used to be a thread that might have been kept in I Love Vinyl that was made up of the radio station playlists of a few different ILXORS. I found so much great music through those playlists but I don't know whatever became of the thread.... anyone have any idea?

You mean the one with celebrities you're surprised to see photographed together?

^ That's the one I meant. TY.

I don't know if it's the one KS meant but I suspect it might be.

Is there a thread for anachronistic movie dialogue?

I don't recall ever seeing such a thread.

Do you mean cases in which the movie is a period piece but it contains dialogue not of that period?

I'm watching a movie set in 1974, and a character uses an expression that I'm positive didn't come around for a decade or two at least.

(So yes.)

I always notice stuff like that. I remember watching Little House on the Prairie in the '70s and a certain family member would say, "They didn't say (x) back in those days!"

It's a fresh idea you should run with. What was the expression you think wasn't current in 1974?

I Googled after posting, and I seem to be right, but only by a couple of years, not decades. It's The Apprentice, the Trump/Cohn movie from last year. At one point, Trump asks Cohn to "think outside the box." Wikipedia says an early version, tied to a puzzle with nine dots, goes way back; but without reference to the puzzle, not until 1976:

"In 1970, the phrase think outside the dots appears without mentioning the nine dots puzzle. Finally, in 1971, the specific phrase think outside the box is attested, again appearing together with the nine dots puzzle.In 1976, the phrase is used in England, and in 1978 in the USA, both without mentioning the nine dots puzzle."

So they're close enough. I don't think I ever heard till the '80s or '90s. Could probably be a use thread anyway.

Aargh..."heard it," "useful."

It's possible this charge could be leveled at just about any period piece.

i'm also a fan of slang that appears to be of recent coinage, but on investigation it turns out to be from the 1870s or something

somebody on a radio show was talking about it the other day: how authors of historical fiction make a distinction between speech that would be historically accurate and speech that would be accepted by their readers as historically authentic

Sometimes I notice, sometimes I don't. Something like Mad Men was pretty meticulous about that, but I think I caught one or two lapses over seven seasons.

When I see contemporary movies or shows set in the '70s or early '80s, times I remember, I always notice actors getting the inflections wrong. Because inflections and rhythms of everyday speech are constantly changing. That's usually more of a problem than anachronistic vocabulary in the scripts.

But to the other point, it happens all the time that I'm watching a film from the early 1930s and an actor uses an expression I thought was coined decades later.
