Say something nice about another ILXor

oh this is the nice things thread

soto is a voice of clarity on popular culture threads and his film criticism is up there with anyone on ilx's

changing my name to "darragh in usa" but it'll take a few weeks for the local court to approve my new nomenclature

his film criticism is up there with anyone on ilx's

what is this golf clap nonsense, try again

yeah that was almost damning with faint praise
alfred can and does write professional film criticism and does so independently here without compensation

i liked "up there with anyone on ilx's", i felt briefly included as a player

i guess that's my "say something nice abt imago" :D

lol now there's a golf clap :P

soto's film criticism perhaps falls short of jonathan rosenbaum's but i would trust his opinion over more or less any other film writer on earth

that do

honestly, both of the prominent "al"s on here are very good writers, i just don't always agree with some dude
i may be forgetting other als

love lift us up with anyone on ilx

i always end up liking albums i thought i hated bcz of alfred.

I met Mr. Soto, once ca. '07. I was at the lowest point in my life emotionally, creatively, and career-wise, and he was a total gentleman and a kindly conversation even though I was an incoherent mess.

i just wanna say lagoon is good at social media on multiple platforms. good tweets, good faces, good hoops and weed posts here

Agree on the tweets. Except for that no zip hoodie propaganda.

you will suffer for your heresy

the pullover hoodie is no better than the quarter-zip mock

y'all are too kind

I don't know who most ilx posters are, nowadays.

But I really like Fizzles on I LOVE BOOKS! So tremendously well read and also unfailingly generous, polite, open, interesting, and self-critical to a fault.

i wouldve said to a fair degree rather than to a fault but otherwise i endorse this sentiment

Good guy to have a pint or two with too.

Ha was gonna say the same ^

of bitters rather than bitter iirc

calzino is the best, the very best <3

Hearty cosign

yes

So tremendously well read and also unfailingly generous, polite, open, interesting, and self-critical to a fault.

cosign on Fizzles. he never gives the impression that he understands his own worth.

Aimless always has soulful observations xo :)

ty, surm. I'm going to cast that in bronze and keep it with my baby shoes.

Karl Malone is next-level, consistently one of the funniest people I read on the Internet. Stuff that in most hands would go horribly wrong with trying-too-hardness, he makes look easy.

He's also an artist achieving ever greater heights

i love karl

i wish those things were true! but <3 all the same

solid - i recant my earlier statement and formally offer karl one (1) bro-fist

for real though the above posters are wonderful and their presence on a thread often tips me toward trying to contribute something rather than just observing( for better or worse), and i'm sure that's true for other people too

The Mailman always delivers, 'tis true.

i hate to shatter yr illusions, but KM is a splendid human being

+1. I love the artwork and lolz.

Karl is the dearest, sweetest, Loveless and also my go to guy for sharing a near death experience with and watching him work his magic on it

LOVELIEST, not loveless. Damn MBV induced AI leaning autocorrect knows too much about me.

<3

an autocorrect with a tendency toward MBV speaks volumes

Karl did the loveliest .gif of Kenny Whippetlurcher in space (I even put the image on a mug).

Morbz has good taste in movies

love Shakey, Tombot, k3vin, Neanderthal on the political threads even when I want to throttle them

thats the left for u
