Hello there! My wife Jessica and I started a YouTube channel and we’d appreciate it if you’d give us a watch. youtu.be/5LeXOCoeE84

Hey Twitter, We've had a lot of amazing memories together but lately you just bring me down. My time away from you over the last month has been great for my mental health. So while I am not deleting my account, I have decided to no longer be an active participant. ✌🏼❤ Fizzy

@mtgilchrist Read my first tweet Todd. There's nothing devastating, nefarious, or trashing. Good night.

@Schofizzy Maybe I’m missing it but I don’t see them drawing broad conclusions about teachers based on anecdotal evidence of a conversation they once had or classes they once attended. So by all means, keep trashing their integrity and their work ethic.

Critics saying they don't talk to other critics is fucking laughable. THAT'S WHAT THEY DO! They sit post screening and discuss movies. End of story. Don't let them sway you.

I'll see you around Twitter. Gonna take a time out. Decided it is better for me to delete the app from my phone.

Twitter is a vacuum.

@mtgilchrist Devastating is an interesting choice of words.

@Schofizzy I think “people, including critics, gather after screenings to share their thoughts, and sometimes make points that affect each other’s opinions” is not the devastating revelation you think it is.

Looking for your gotcha moment.

@mtgilchrist It's never wavered. Is that unclear? People talk after movies and I've witnessed time and time again the loudest person sway others. 🤷🏻

@Schofizzy Ok. But what does that have to do with your original claim that there's a "hive mind" among critics? I thought we were discussing whether or not critics agreed to a consensus opinion, not determining the ethnographic make up of the most obnoxious people at press screenings.

@mtgilchrist Agreed, there's no conspiracy. But after a movie, is there someone trying to be the loudest and most important in the room? Yes! Are they usually male and white? ABSOLUTELY.

@Schofizzy But I reject the idea that there is a conspiracy, much less any sort of design or plan, to align critical reactions. And this phantom example of people talking after a screening doesn't evidence collusion, it reflects natural curiosity.

St. Louis County is 25% Black. I don’t see 1 Black person there. If demographics were reversed & white people made up 25% of a county, better believe they could delay any progressive Black legislation. These ppl would cheer this loud if apartheid & enslavement were reinstated.

@mtgilchrist That is fodder in the world of % critics created.

@Schofizzy Respectfully, you're mistaking "people choosing not to/ not caring enough to disagree publicly" with "critics getting their opinions in line with those of a loud colleague." These are anecdotal scenarios, not gatherings to agree upon takeaways or talking points.

Last night I attempted to watch BETTER WATCH OUT otherwise known as CHRISTMAS EVIL (1980). It sucks hard. Really wanted to adore it but, nope. I'd rank it above SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT at least cause that movie is pure garbage.

@mtgilchrist I think you aren't wrong to a fault, however I've witnessed the opposite happen too many times. Quiter agree. Rest nod. Loudest becomes the norm. Sad.

@Schofizzy What, a receptivity to points they may not have considered in a casual post-screening conversation? There's no grand conspiracy. That's human nature. No one's angling to express an opinion that isn't theirs. And certainly not to capitulate to groupthink.

@piiinkfairydust State fair, county fair is still as at Pomona Fairplex
