Abuse!

At last, continuitycorner.com has made the big league. It's taken a good while but we got our first abusive e-mail! Here it is in all it's glory...

"I was just checkin out some things about continuity on the net and i came across your lil site. And in all honesty, I am completly baffled as to why this site even exists. I mean cmon! Who really gives a shit whether or not Peter Jackson's daughter is used in his films! Do you honestly care?? I sure as hell dont.
 
These people ya got submitting all these petty lil flaws about certain films, seriously need to get a life! Obviously they have waaaaaay too much time on their hands. One women had like 3 or 4 different submitions about ONE, yes one, movie alone!!  Helloooooo......get a fuckin life already!
 
If you can sit there while watchin a movie and nit pick it to death, then why see the film at all. Dont you think that takes away from the overall enjoyment of a film.
 
These people got to realize one thing......ITS ONLY A MOVIE!!! Its not written in stone, your life isnt gonna change just because the age of Christopher Walken's character in Pulp Fiction isnt correct. I was seriously in awe and laughing my ass off when i read some of those submitions.
 
Just the fact that people actually have the time to sit and write about inane , unimportant, frivilous paltry things that in all honesty, do you really give a shit about?? No I didn't think so! Your site sucks big elephant balls! Have a nice day
 
Love Your friend,
Dick head"

Mr Head, we here at continuitycorner.com thank you for your well-crafted communication and carefully chosen words of criticism, nice to know all the hard work isn't going to waste.

 

New Year, new abuse! Below is the latest offering.

"Your all a bunch of twats!! i agree with dickhead dude. You could be doing something constructive with your time but you watch films over and over again looking for little errors that you find are funny! GET A FUCKING LIFE dammit, why dont you try and make a film without any faults that is still good and entertaining and get it in cinemas. If you do do that and there arent any mistakes, NO ONE WILL GIVE A SHIT ANYWAY, people dont go to films to pick out tiny mistakes, they go to enjoy it Man.

This is the best one yet (it is possible I'm just being far too cynical and it is a genuine suggestion, but I don't think so).

"This is a challenge of Epic proportions. My friend has recently found out about a continuity error in American Beauty (something to do with a cushion) and can not believe that the academy would give a Best Director Oscar to a director who would be so sloppy as to miss something like that. I replied that I bet that every single film that ever got the Best Director Oscar has at least one continuity error in it. And here in lies the challenge. I know it’s a bit tedious and rather Epic in scale, but if anyone out there wants to take up this challenge, then I’d love to be able to put one over on my mate.  
 
Many thanks
Ben Cropper."

Great stuff Ben, thanks, more like this please.

 

Slightly disturbing that it's taken nine months but someone has risen to the challenge. Take it away Will Donald, [my replies in white]:

"Hello [Polite start anyway]

Do you expect people to go on your website and look at various different continuity errors and not come off it finding errors on the site itself. [No] WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON ??? do you think to yourself "hmm i'm a pompous twat, [could be!] i'll slate great films with small errors in it when i've clearly got errors of my own."


i've spotted two errors on your site firstly i don't think your site meter has worked since 27th August 02 [This is odd. Firstly because Sitemeter is nothing to do with Continuitycorner, the count is a link to their site and updated by them. I dont have any control over it. Secondly, why would I pick an arbitrary number, then just leave it alone? Surely I would change it every so often?] and in the top left corner of your site you have <FONT Written there. what the fuck is that? [Well I would say it was a broken HTML tag, but hey I'm just one person] i'll tell you... CONTINUITY ERROR(S)! [Not strictly speaking, no] sort it out [Have done Will, thanks for pointing it out. It's weird, don't know when that glitch first appeared, it wasn't visible in the code for the page and has since vanished again. Though I'm not quite sure why]

My final pledge to you is: please go drink your own crap 


Will"

 

Nice one Will.
