If I don't win, I'll demand a recount; I want to savor my one vote victory over you.
Actually I did run a non-publicised F*ckwit of the Year competition as well, but unlike the disappointingly narrow field of candidates available in the Man of the Year, there were 28 fsmers in the running. And two of the main contenders have since left, lol

694. ibelin's terrifying dismissal of art cinema and sad, predictable circling back to FSM Hero Stanley Kubrick in "Jean-Luc Godard, R.I.P.":
"The problem with European art cinema is that so much of it is frickin' boring and pretentious (especially the films that resulted from the French New Wave). I get that film is a broad medium and isn't restricted to just popcorn flicks and the like, but I don't think it's the best medium for exploring philosophical and other intellectual ideas, which is what European art cinema films tended to do. Ingmar Bergman's films and Robert Bresson's films are a slog to get through. Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut were pretentious hacks. But not all of European art cinema is bad, of course. I like Werner Herzog's early films, and some of Andrei Tarkovsky's films are alright (but others are a PAIN to get through) once you understand what's going on in them. If I wanted to make myself feel smart by exploring intellectual ideas, then I'd go read a book. Which I occasionally do, but I'm nonetheless prepared to be called an anti-intellectual.
"However, it is possible to make really intelligent films and have them NOT be boring. Stanley Kubrick is the perfect example of a director who did this, and he therefore gets all my respect. The only film of his that I find boring is 'Barry Lyndon'. I don't think the French New Wave films HAD to be so boring. They were probably made to be as pretentious as possible because the directors were trying to appear as intelligent as possible. This need to feel intellectually superior can also be seen in the world of postmodern literature."

701. TheAvenger, telling it like it is in "new DOCTOR WHO", though honorable mention must go to litefoot in the same thread for stubbornly dead-naming social media site X by repeatedly referring to it as "Twitter."
This season has generated a surge of enthusiasm on FSM.
The last episode I watched were the 60th anniversary specials, which I watched in the UK. I don't Disney+, and from what I've heard about the series, I haven't missed much.
TheAvenger: "You’ve actually missed a lot. You’ve missed one of the greatest science fiction shows of all time being reduced to a parody, where science fiction and horror stories have been replaced with an agenda to promote political views and the LGBTQ community at the expense of plot.
"You’ve also missed the jedi mind trick that Russell T Davies has pulled, where he has fooled people Emperor’s-new-clothes style into believing he is anything less than than a hack.
"In other words, as a fan of real Doctor Who, you’ve missed nothing."

The above post, by Jim 'Who Da Fuck Is Mannix' Phelps, for featuring the words 'Swindled Multitudes', which has had me crying laughing for the last few minutes.
