great. pester GB into capturing his brain farts in a plastic bag and inhaling them, instead of posting them on gf, then.
It is ok to be a critic, that is the easy part, now put up and show what you can do, and what great threads you can show the rest of us here.
Originally posted by Very Rustyi really don't get that. if a film critic pans a film, the appropriate response isn't 'well let's see you make a better film'. his area of expertise is criticism, which takes a different set of skills and knowledge.

Originally posted by BlackampSo, what your telling me actually is that you are going to continue being a critic of GB'S posts, and at the same time are not going to contribute anything constructive of your own.

it just so happens that GB is about the sole poster of this kind of nonsense in gf.
other people, including me, also post nonsense, but it is honest nonsense.

as i've said before though, i don't really think he can stop himself.
Originally posted by BlackampSo you are going to be the Judge and Jury on what is 'pretentious' and what is not.

How are you to know if GB is being sincere or not? Are you a mind reader? Because you see it that way, doesn't make it so. Even if there are others that feel the same as you!
Originally posted by SeitseThere is only room enough for one Judge and Jury on here, & that my friend is not me, you, Blackamp, or your buddy worm.....
Show that bloody Aussie his rightful place, Rusty! Show him!
How dare he try to take your place as the Judge and Jury of this forum, pardner, uh?! How dare he?! 😠
Don't worry, buddy, I have your back covered!
Russ or Chriss have you heard of them?
I guess that would be two wouldn't it. 😉
