Ok folks…
Here’s a place for all of your cVillain vitriol. With the new owner forgetting basics like ‘how Gateway IP’s work’ and other basic blog etiquette, I’m just over it.
However, I’m going to pull a Thor here. I don’t really want the general distaste for the new owner to become a focus point for txtnly. I’m not asking you to stop your bitching, because I still get a laugh out of it. I just don’t want it overrunning the rest of the blog.

Cvillain is like a bar that used to be really loud, kind of dangerous but verry exciting. Ripped leather chairs, spilled beer and graffiti in the toilets. Then new management came in and remodeled it with Ikea sofas and pastels…. now it’s empty and the barman just stands there polishing glasses and eating peanuts.
Fucking shame.

Actually, I think the new mgmt remodeled it with stuff he found at Spencer’s

It’s bad. I don’t even know what to post over there anymore, and I don’t want him to have my IP other than what he already does. I will delete any comments that don’t relate to how Cvillain sucks. How’s that?

#20 by Donk on March 3, 2010 - 3:31 pm
Ok. I’m trying to stay out of this, because as a blog writer myself… I don’t want things to sink to this level. I, personally, stopped posting on cVillain because I no longer wanted my name associated with that site. Of course, I get accused of stirring things up over there even when it’s not me. Whatever. I’m apathetic toward such self-aggrandizing egocentric nonsense.
However…. I think that the comment above (screenshot taken to preserve it from the inevitable edit) is completely laughable. Humility doesn’t even know this guy. I’m thrilled that I don’t have content on that site anymore. If any of you hold content in the archives, I would suggest asking him to remove it from his site. It’s currently being claimed as his own.
“Keep it funny, keep it relevant, and it stays.”
People must be very eager to please over there. I guess that’s why they get a gazillion comments a day.

That would be funny – a parody. Then all we would need is a dead bird mascot and a gif flashing how many brazillions of hits we get each day.
Perhaps a “Q Lounge” ad? “Q-Lounge: Worth more points in scrabble.”

“From the day I fired up cVillain 3.0, until today I have deleted only one comment, and I spent days reading and re-reading it before refusing to let it be posted. I now have a different view, and I’m doing what I should have done long ago.”
That may be true. He just relinquished the other comments to the SPAM folder.

How do I get around that?
#46 by Donk on March 4, 2010 - 10:12 am
Ok.
It’s soapbox time.
I thought about this last night, and realize that it’s a bit of a unique situation. Ian has blurred the lines between blog life and real life by using his own name and image to run his blog. That being said, I don’t want personal attacks made on this site. It’s fine if we want to criticize cVillain as an entity, but we need to be careful about remarks about Ian. I understand that it’s difficult sometimes because he seems to take things very personally and he brings his personal life into the fray… but that’s by his own volition. It doesn’t make it ok for us to sit in our little clubhouse and trash talk his character.
In the same way that I’m not going to allow anyone to post harmful content about any of ya’ll, or even a third party; we can’t treat him any differently. I’m not going to censor any content (unless it’s ridiculously bad), but I’m not going to encourage the mob mentality that we tend to fall into.
I acknowledge that I’ve been as bad as anyone about criticizing what’s happening over there, but I’m trying to rein it in.
Plenty of ya’ll have not crossed this line in the least, and can totally ignore this ramble of mine. I just want to curb things a bit before they get out of hand… especially considering the amount of drama that seems to be generated by cVillain lately.
And really… I’m a helpless drunk that lives in a glass house with nary an unbroken pane. I really don’t have room to trash talk anyone.
/Capt. Buzz Killington…… Signing off.

#48 by shenanigans on March 4, 2010 - 10:18 am

#50 by Donk on March 4, 2010 - 10:20 am
Not so much in this thread, but there has been some questionable content on the site as a whole. And mostly, I’m just trying to redirect the way things are going here. I don’t want txtnly to become the cVillain haters clubhouse.
#51 by shenanigans on March 4, 2010 - 10:22 am
Well, we have to have somwhere to bemoan the loss of what was once a fun site, one that introduced me to some of the best people in my life.
#52 by Donk on March 4, 2010 - 10:34 am
Yep. You’re completely right. I’m not trying to say that we can’t bitch about cVillain here. We just have to keep it from crossing the personal threshold.
I agree that cVillain is one of the things that really helped me get established in this town, and introduced me to a large cross section of my friends… that’s why it’s easy to get all worked up about the direction the site has taken.
Also, one reason that it has become a focal point is because we haven’t been putting down enough content to generate its own discussion. We’re working on fixing that.
#53 by shenanigans on March 4, 2010 - 11:15 am
I got to be a film extra yesterday. I’d be happy to try to write up an anecdote about that.

#56 by Street on March 4, 2010 - 12:15 pm
I was in a low budget horror film called Way Back in the Woods, but it was never released. I played one of the killer cult members. In one scene, I stabbed a scream queen, pulled out her guts, shoved them in her mouth and then pushed her into a blood-filled grave. The experience changed the way I look at movies.
#57 by belmont yo on March 4, 2010 - 12:30 pm
One of my best friends in SF was a talent recruiter, and he was forever trying to hook me and my kids up with gigs. If you get lucky, the money is huge (i met this bike messenger who by chance ended up being the voice of the green chevron car and made $84,000 by the end of that campaign).
My son was in a bryers ice cream commercial when he was like one and a half and made $1400 (the cool thing about that though was that it was shot at Industrial Light & Magic, which is just about the coolest studio in the world – think actual ET, actual darth vader… etc).
I have been to so many auditions, but never got anything but extra work. However, one audition led to what has to be my most long, funniest, humiliating story ever by far. I have prolly only told five people in my life. I shudder everytime I think about it.
#58 by shenanigans on March 4, 2010 - 12:44 pm
