The KODT Movie Rant...Ranter...Review...Thing

I don't recall where I ran across the link to this forum thread over at Kenzer, but I found it rather amusing. I read KODT each month but I gave up on the movie rant column a long time ago. I'm not insulted by it like some people seem to be, but for those that are - why keep reading it? I can't understand why people spend so much time on something they don't like...

Unlike Jolly and some of the others posting in that thread, I don't find it funny either. I can laugh at the stuff we dorks enjoy - gaming, WoW, sci-fi movies and TV shows, etc. But this guy just isn't funny. He sounds like early twenty-somethinger going through an angst-ridden, "everything sucks / constant sarcasm is cool" phase (I'm sure there's a better, more intellectual-sounding term for this). If it was funny, I'd read it. But it's not. So, I don't waste my time with it.

From what it sounds like, this is exactly what he doesn't want - people ignoring him. Love him or hate him, he's getting attention. The vocal "anti-crowd" just feeds into that... Anyway, my interest in talking about the subject is rapidly waning - since I just don't care - so that's that.

On the other hand, these pictures - which are from what I think is his blog - are pretty funny:
