If you're on this list, congradulations, I have personally selected you for the online thread book The Art of Rant. More on that later.

If you're not on this list, no, it doesn't mean I hate you (not necessarily...:D), nor does it mean I think you're ignorant. You could be an old-timer returning after a long while, and there are some I have forgotten. If you're not on this list, send me a well-written rant via PM, and if I like it, I'll change the list.

Anyway, what is The Art of Rant?

I was sitting in math today, bored silly, glazed over, rolling my eyes at the tedium. Then an idea came to me. Let's gather the board's elite people, have them write a 3-paragraph long rant (or longer), and combine it into a thread.

If you're on this list, and want to do a rant, send it in by August 4th. Put time and effort in it. If you're on this list, but don't want to do a rant, don't do it. If you aren't on this list and want to do a rant, PM me and shit.

The rants can be about anything movie-related: movies, asshole theater patrons, crappy DVD covers, security stickers, porn showing no female nudity, etc.

The thread will be posted on this board (please, don't reply on the thread with the rants, I want to keep it looking good). One reply will have one rant, and who it is by.

And don't post the rant on the thread, send it to me via PM first. And make sure it's well-written, heated, hateful, and movie-related.

Any repliers?

No, it's not that. A lot of this is off the top of my head, so it's hard to remember a lot of people.

I also can't include everyone, 13,000 rants is too much to compile...

Corrected. ;)

As do I....

Nah, it's all good. I really don't mind making this particular list because I've never posted a (worthwhile) rant before and to be honest, I don't really want to. I would much rather read other people's and reply to those.

Also keep in mind I don't include a lot of people who don't post much anymore, as they probably won't be around to read it.

I like all of you, but including all of you in the list would give me a headache, too many rants to compile, and I wouldn't have the time, now at the end of the school year there is a shitload I have to do. Don't take it seriously or anything, it's all in good fun.

And you can still apply by PM.

I have a question - why oh why is jackson13 only at #28? That guy is a fuckin' master. He could create a rant accusing chestnuts of being lazy and convince an entire legion of people to turn against Communist chestnuts everywhere.

And I'm flattered that little ol' me has made the illustrious top 10. If I come up with something inspired by the deadline, I'll be sure to let you know...

lol i can't wait to read the rants...so they'll be in another thread i take it?

i would attempt to send one in except i've never been a good ranter. i can get heated in real life, but ranting online is a different story. i start stumbling incoherently and grammar my english bad starts that like.

what see?mean i

;)

seriously tho, i suck at rants. but i really can't wait to read this...the best of the best...nicee....

........jon, u should have jackson13 do an extra honorary rant.

for being the rantmaster.

oh and syxxpac, i don't think the list is in any real order.

The list is in no real order, it's just a way to keep track of the threads.

Alright, this is a truly kick-ass idea, especially for us smart-assed kids that think we know everything there is to know about film...*sigh* no wonder people don't like talking about movies with me...

Anyways, I think this is cool and I'll have mine into you Jon ASAP. You've inspired me man...

Thread closed for obvious reasons. Please remember that this forum is for EVERYONE and it's for MOVIE-RELATED rants only.

Thanks for understanding.
