Re: Announcement: Goodnight, Goodnight!

Its been a fantastic run guys, i don't post often but i've been listening since the beginning of DIF and you guys will be missed.

Hopefully the forum stays active as it will be good to stay in touch/up to date with what people are doing as i don't use social media much but i do stop by and check the forum.

Good luck and thanks everyone  smile

Re: Announcement: Goodnight, Goodnight!

Thank you!

While I regret my lack of involvement in the forum in the 3ish years that I've been listening, I couldn't let this opportunity to thank you slip by.

In that weird way that the Internet can allow (if you're lucky), you guys truly have been friends in my head. Even if I haven't taken an active role in the conversation, for hundreds and hundreds of hours, you've kept me company in both tough times and great times. 

There are many things I want to express about all of you and the amazing podcast you've produced, but I'll err on the side of brevity and instead just say it again: thank you.

I will greatly miss regular episodes, but will look forward to the rare occasions when you have to fire the mics up again *cough*Star Wars*cough*.

THANK YOU!

Well I guess I'm going to have to indefinitely suspend my research on lupus then... such a horrible disease really... all those poor people...  and puppies...  did I mention that puppies get lupus too ...

(Are they buying the whole guilt trip thing?  No?  God damn it!)

Thanks for the 1,000 hours.  I loved this podcast more than life itself.

Re: Announcement: Goodnight, Goodnight!

Well, it's been fun guys.

I really wish I had discovered this site sooner, to share in more fun times with you all. I can honestly say that I have learned more about films, and how to respect other people's opinions regarding different points of view than in many other interactions.

I am extremely grateful to the connections that have been formed here. I have listened to TPM and AtoC commentaries more than is probably healthy due finding it so enjoyable and funny. But, having this community has been far more enjoyable than any of the commentaries and it is frustrating to not be able to take it everywhere like I do the podcasts wink

I wish you all well in your future projects, and offer an open invite to my friends here to feel free to let me know when you are in the Seattle area (since I doubt you'll make it to Northern Idaho wink) to make arrangements to meet up, and partake in a beverage of your choice, on me.

Teague, Brian, Mike, Trey, Eddie, Paulu, Alex, Zoe, Anthony, and all the rest, thank you. Thank you ever so much for allowing me to be a part of your lives. It means more than I could ever say.

And Teague, better keep us up to date, man. Because, you guys do good work.


Also, just because I like this meme so much:

holden

God loves you!

I've long marveled at the panel's dedication to putting out quality content on a regular basis. It's been the source of many, many hour of entertainment to me. And I greatly value the fantastic experiences I've had on this forum.

All things end. Thank you for all you've given us.

Re: Announcement: Goodnight, Goodnight!

Been a fan of you guys for forever, pretty much the only podcast I've ever really kept up with. Thanks for all the great stuff, Gonna be re-listening to the stuff for years to come (It's pretty much the only thing I can listen to when I go to sleep)

Can't complain either, the last few commentaries are definitely ya'll going out on a high note.

This is sad.  I will miss this podcast. It has been an immense resource for increasing my understanding of movies and how they are made.  Thanks for the hours and hours of entertainment.

Re: Announcement: Goodnight, Goodnight!

What can I say that hasn't already been said? I'll give it a go anyway....

Realised that I feel terrible that I didn't involve myself in the forums more (medical school is where free time goes to die), but if its going this way, I'll get on board.
First of all, I love you guys. What you guys have done is pretty monumental and you should feel proud. It sucks we won't hear any more commentaries (still waiting on DKR and ASM damn it!), but I appreciate everything. I encountered this show completely by chance and it has had such a big impact on my life. I can't imagine how many times I've listened to the prequel commentaries. It's amazing how had not clicked some retweet years ago, how different everything could be.
I will really miss it and I hope its actually just a hiatus.
Thank you Mike, Trey, Brian, Eddie, Ryan, Anthony and every one else.
But most important, thank you Teague, none of it would be possible without you.

Also, when I'm next in LA, let me buy you guys a beer.

Re: Announcement: Goodnight, Goodnight!

In may of 2009, some asshole called Teague posted a link to his dumb movie commentary podcast on the TFN forums. A couple of days later an idiot 16 year old going by maul2 saw it and decided to give it a listen. 6 years later I'm still here, and this place is my home. This forum, the friends I've made here, and this ridiculous podcast have gotten me through the worst times in my life, the best ones, and has always been there for every step of the way as I went from idiot high schooler to a working independent filmmaker.

It's not an exaggeration to say I wouldn't be who I am today without this place. It has shaped my views on film making, storytelling, art in general, and a lot of what it means to be a decent human being. I know a lot of the people on this forum better than I do my irl friends and I've known a lot of you longer than I've known just about anyone, short of my family. And that fact always blows my mind. This place, and this podcast has been the single largest constant in my life for the past 6 years, and for that I will always be eternally grateful.

So thank you Teague for starting this mad project 6 years ago and letting some idiot kid tag along all this while. And thank you to everyone else who joined in and made this place a truly singular island of amazing-ness. There is no way I can ever express how much that means to me.

Re: Announcement: Goodnight, Goodnight!

Dude, you were maul2? I never made that connection.

Granted, I haven't been on tfn in forever but still, I feel rather dumb.

And yeah, I found this via tfn too and called Teague "Fig" for a while.

God loves you!

Re: Announcement: Goodnight, Goodnight!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the time you've put into the podcast over the years.  I'm glad to know that you plan to keep to back catalog and the forum available.  In the 3+ years since I found your podcast it's been great hearing you all and getting to know you in this vague way that is created by the internet.  I hope if I ever find myself in LA I might have the privilege of buying any one or all of you a drink.  You really have become the friends in my head, and I suspect your back catalog and the forum will keep you there for a long time.

Re: Announcement: Goodnight, Goodnight!

I found DIF (back then) through IMDB-messageboard (ironically) from Sucker Punch - comment section back in 2010 (probably). Somebody recommended it there.
Ether Sucker Punch of Phantom Menace was my first podcast from you. I listened for it and was hooked up instantly.
Over the years I shared some links back on IMDB-boards (on Blob for exemple) for other people to find this podcast.
I listened all of podcasts and some of them for several times. I really liked LOTR-marathon, it felt so awesome, I felt like I am in the same room with all you guys.
Sometimes, when falling asleep, I would listen for DIF/FIYH and saw dreams where we all hang out together and you guys keep talking as I never had a time to say much. smile

Can´t even tell you how many of your insights/ideas/stories I passed to my friends from you guys.
Sorry, this text is rather mixed up, I am not following any story-structure here you guys are always talking about. smile
Also, thank you all forum-guys for helping me with your birthday-congartulation-videos for my friend, that was a blast!
Ah, great times. I will continue to listen for those podcasts for a long time.
Ok, see ya guys aroud and thank you for a great ride.
Cheerz and let´s keep in touch!
