#you don’t have to dig a lot to see what they’ve previously said about Daniel

[rickybaby]

Frankly annoyed that those guys from the red flag podcast keep getting invited to RB events and getting to interview Daniel like they didn’t spend the whole of 2022 absolutely shitting on Daniel when he was at his lowest. It’s very annoying when the communications team could have easily invited the girls from the Fan Behaviour pod, who have always been both Daniel and Yuki fans and have as much a legitimate platform as those guys and put out better content than them …

Let's Talk About "The Dirt"

Alright so as always a little bit of information before I begin digging into every tiny piece of this movie and tearing the awful parts to absolute shreds.

This will be a very lengthy post and idk how to do that read more shit so bear with me ok. Also there will be spoilers (duh), swearing, and lots of criticism. Also also, don't rip me to shreds for the shit I say.

So, ever since I was a baby I listened to Mötley Crüe it was and always will be my favourite band in all existence. I almost had the chance to see their final show but due to money issues I didn't get to. Spoiler alert I fucking sobbed when I found out I couldn't go.

When I found out they were making a movie -based on the book- based on the band, I was absolutely ecstatic. I had already seen Bohemian Rhapsody (based on Queen clearly) and was absolutely blown away by the acting, the visuals, the casting, and just the overall story that they were trying to tell you as a viewer.

So, when my mom told me she found the trailer for The Dirt I rushed to her room to watch it and we sat together and watched. And we were very disappointed. The casting was completely off (no offence to the actors at all I absolutely adore some of them) and it just seemed awkward.

Now flash forward to today my mom had watched the movie while I had showered and so I asked her how the movie was and what she thought of everything that I had previously criticized about the trailer. She said it was ok but not her favourite and then we went on to talk about it for a while.

Now, I told my mom I probably wasn't going to watch it because my expectations for the movie were already buried in the ground and I was terrified they'd find some way to still disappoint. But like always, morbid curiosity dragged me in and I decided to watch it at 1am.

Now that you know that let's talk about the casting for a minute.

Let's start with our lead singer Vince Neil. Complete asshole with a "minor" Superiority complex and a shit ton of women lining up at his dressing room door. Vince Neil is played by Daniel Webber. Not good casting on this one boys. Not good.

Then we have Nikki Sixx. Also an asshole but not as much. He's known for his drug addiction in the eighties that stopped his heart (thankfully he's still alive to this day), his boyish good looks, and his wicked skills. Nikki Sixx is played by Douglas Booth. While Douglas is quite attractive and does very well as an actor he just doesn't quite fit the infamous Nikki Sixx.

After him we have our crazy drummer, Tommy Lee. Known for his public stunts, amazing deumming skills, and hotel trashing, Tommy is played by Colson Baker (also known as Machine Gun Kelly). I'd say that Colson as Tommy is the only good casting they've done for this movie, and that's not saying much.

Last but not least, Mick Mars. The wonderful guitarist known for his skills, his awful disease, and his determination. Mick Mars is played by the wonderful actor Iwan Rheon. And while I do think that he's an amazing actor as previously stated, he's just not Mick Mars.

While all of these boys put on a wonderful performance and I do mean wonderful they're all excellent actors. They don't live up to Mötley Crüe. But that's looks and some minor movement and personality nitpicks and I'm being dramatic about it because I grew up on them. To really sell it as this band you have to put in every part of your being the same way they did just being themselves and still do.

Now I still think looks wise the casting is God awful I think acting wise they made the right choice. I've never seen Douglas Booth or Daniel Webber in anything but I have seen Colson Baker and Iwan Rheon and know that they're excellent actors. I think all four really did well doing what they did.

Now less tearing apart the actors and the casting and on to tearing apart the movie. Now, I will be honest and tell you that I've never read the book simply because I've just never had the chance so I'm just going off facts that I personally know about the band and how they came together and all that.

Let's start on the name shall we? Mick did not come up with the name. It was some other guy who saw them (a producer I think) and said something along the lines of "well isn't this just a motley fuckin crew." And it was Mick who said "that's it that's the name" But he didn't just come up with it out of the blue. Thats just incorrect and kind of annoying honestly.

My next point. I'm sure the book had parts where it was talking about how they fucked this person or that person but, did they have to make it pornographic scenes? Hell, not even 20 minutes in and Tommy Lee has already eaten out some chick at a party in front of a ton of high and drunk people who will never remember it the next day. And I get that it's Mötley Crüe and that's their thing trust me I get it, but seriously man you're gonna get this banned in places.

And can we talk about the constant voice overs? I understand you're trying to tell this story and that voice overs are necessary sometimes but not every five seconds of the first half of the movie. Sure narrating their back stories was ok (not as much as they did but whatever I can let that slide) but all the rest i did not let slide. You don't need a ton of voiceover lines in your movie. You also don't need characters (Mick) looking into the camera like they're on The Office.

Why is this movie so short. This movie is an hour and a half long (rough estimate) and glanced over details that NEEDED to be talked about. For example in the second half of the movie with Tommy's hair and the shaved side. That wasn't just a style choice. Tommy fell from his drums (the bungee ones) and hit the concrete injuring himself. He had to have that part of his head shaved so he could get stitches. Afterwards he shaved the other side and Nikki did the same in solidarity. And that is just one important part of their lives that was skipped over.

Now clearly I have many other issues but I'm running out of room on Tumblr and it's very late and I'm very tired. Overall it's not a terrible movie but it's also just not that good.

“Well Stone boy, let the games commence.”- Amanda

Too busy socializing and not sounding bad for once to make a long one but FUCKKKKK!

Welp.... there goes my plan, both of the people i could control the votes of are gone.

Jenna thought she could get me out? Ahaha, you're gonna have to try a little harder than THAT. Took me all of two hours to get an eight vote majority against you girl, maybe next time try and target somebody you can actually vote out. Catch ya later, little miss last place.

OMG BYE JENNA! You little snake ass bitch!! *booty drop* im so happy that snake is gone! BUT NOW A TRIBE SWAP OMFG! Already this game is so crazy! Amanda is safe so bless! Im gonna bring my social game in today and try to talk to the vets and then tmw for only a little bit I don't wanna be seen as a big social threat yet or overplay anything! I made an alliance with everyone that is left an good thing i was in an alliance with all of them! But the fact that i have previously made a doc with all the info from the past players should help my tribe out! Chris stoner is a big threat he won a season and got second out! I want him out but only if somone else brings up his name! I'm so anxious now oh my lordy!

I survived first tribal with no votes and I'm so excited. Though now we are switching tribes are im a little worried because I was in a good position and now I don't know where I stand

OKAY SO I made an alliance with Jacob Payton and Toph and we were ready to slay the game and stuff and then we have a tribe swap which meant we lost Jacob but we decided to do a newbies alliance so that's cute 

Payton is cute and it distracts me that is all

I am kinda alining myself with Madison just cause she won the thing at first and i think she's cute and i feel like that's gonna bite me in the butt. She's also though the only one i even remotely trust though atm.

So we swapped and there's some good things about this tribe, thankfully. They've got an inactive, and I screamed for joy when I saw that. The fans want Willa gone, we want Willa gone, so when it comes down to numbers the fans will be scrambling and that puts me in a neato position to work with either the newbs or the veterans, and I love that gig. As for the newbies, I'm really liking Toph, Payt, & Amanda so far. I haven't talked too much with Madison off-call but Amanda and I sent memes and did some good ol' Game of Thrones chatter, Toph is a fellow atheist (which there's less of us than I'd like rip) and Payt rocks his dino onesie and seems like a fun fella. But as for the returnees, I can't say I'm fond of many of 'em. I've barely spoken with LA and Jordan M., but I do like Adrian & Chris. Hopefully I'm on decent footing here, I just gotta stay chatty and stay sunny. I'm not going anywhere, bet on that.

JENNA WAS ROBBED also me socio-strategic icon not getting any votes except for the one i gave myself B) jk i was afk all day whoops, but this game is crazy already yikes cant wait to flop <3

The returners are some shady motherfuckers, like seriously the first fucking challenge they backstab us, like i trust that madison didn't and i'm pretty sure jordan lied to us and maybe poteet knows.

Surprise!

Tribal again, rip. I'm a little worried this round.

So, I planted the seed into the newbies alliance chat that we should get Chris out as soon as we can. I saw his games, he's a comp beast and has made FTC both times he's played. I feel like he's going to become a huge threat in the game if we don't take him out soon enough. I also feel really insecure with my newbies alliance, they haven't done anything shady, I just have a bad feeling. Thankfully, I can't get voted out this time! I love Jenna for giving me immunity. Payton wants Jordan out, but I kind of like him. He has been acting shady, but I think now is the best time to get Stone boy out. I don't think anyone will wind up listening to me, though. I told Poteet I'm debating between getting a threat out or someone annoying or someone shady and he was like "Well the other tribe isn't bad at challenges so I think we should stay strong for now." I get where he's coming from, but I have a feeling that Chris will be impossible to get out once merge hits. I'm having a (bean) dilemma right now and I just don't want to put a target on my back for mentioning Chris to any returnees. Payton told me he made an alliance with Poteet (and I think LA) and he told them to get Jordan out, so I guess we have to get him out now unless something (hopefully) changes. I'm happy though, I can remain a bit calm because in the end, I do have immunity. If something happens though and one of the newbies goes home, we're all royally fucked.

Omg we won immunity. It was close but we did it. Aah I'm just trying to make it a day at a time I personally didn't know what the heck I was doing during the challenge Out of all the vets, I have a pretty good relationship with Daniel And I have a good relationship with the newbies So hopefully I have a really good social game going

So, winning that challenge was AMAZING! I led Malaga to a big fat W, and I've made a group of friends doing it. I had a rocky start to this game, but I ain't going any where for a while yet, so I guess y'all are stuck with me.

guess who has no fucking clue what's happening? it's me it's been a busy couple days and my cat died and i died inside and there is this org going on that i'm probably losing and there are new people and old people who probably know each other and there's a shea and an angry tomato in our tribe chat for some reason i'm actually so confused about life i think there was a challenge

Hiiiii! Your fave floppy fan from the last FvF is here and is ready for his second shot at the virtual million bucks! I love everyone here, from the hosts to the people that actively tried to talk to me: Jordan Pines, Rhone, Poteet, Jake and Jordan M! But we're not on the island coming off the boats or whatever, and these twisted hosts say that we have to vote someone off from both tribes?!?! Also, noting the fact right now that I was completely oblivious that there were 22 people to begin with and not 20 AJNAJSND I HAVE BEEN A MESS SINCE THIS GAME STARTED AND I HATE IT ALREADY! So, I have been somewhat inactive in the first 24 hours of this game. Half of the returnee tribe has not responded to my add request, and I have only been talking to Jake, Rhone and Poteet a whole lot. Both Jordans are chill, but Pines is acting all fucking smug ever since it was announced that he found that immunity? Okay chill. We get that you're immune for the first tribal of the season, but most of this community knows your reputation of being a dick and asswipe, and I wasn't apart of that mindset until you demonstrated it with our short 15 minute talk. I pray we lose this first challenge so I can take you out. Day 2 and WHEWWWWW ALREADY A TRIBE SWAP? Amazing. Just amazing. Also there is a thing called "Trials of Terror" this season? But like, where is the trials part of this twist.... and how is it terrorizing? All we have for premergers is for them to hand immunity to some unsuspecting flop from either tribe, only for them to advance to the next round of gameplay? Again, terrorizing? No. Good idea to be buddy-buddy with the person who's name you are writing down tonight? ABSOLUTELY!

So this round is a god damn mess. Payton really is trying my patience right now. First you want me and poteet to target each other. Now you want to target me. Oh hunny no you gotta try harder than that. The best part is poteet helped me in the challenge to try and get the advantage so that was his first mistake. Also Madison I see you leaking information. That's noted and wont be forgotten. I'm so ready to get votes at every tribal I attend honestly. Shower me in votes daddy.

It is Day 4? Idk I lost count already that's so sad :( But, my new tribe lost the challenge and I'm not even too worried. The newbies are like digging their selves into a ditch and I'm just sitting back and watching the show unfold. Willa is an inactive mess. Thank god I got to see how he played in Athena ORG, cause then I would know to keep him on a leash. Amanda and Toph are like the only cool ones I had the pleasure of talking too. Madison is something. Girl, I personally think is oblivious to the fact that we swapped tribes and did not add me back until the challenge results went up, and there is Payton. Sweet lovable Payton. Dude you're  a mess, and you already fucked up saying that you have an alliance with someone by posting in the tribe chat "but don't tell anyone we're an F2"..... Typical newbies. Its hilarious to watch honestly. Literally, how people are like offering me these alliances offers is truly baffling. Because I am really at most a 6 on the activity scale at this point, and with us attending tribal tonight, they're really looking and scoping for a vote that they can use huh? But alright, I'll play dumb and go along with your plans. Just don't be shocked when its you tonight that goes home!

So after we lost immunity I started talking to Jordan who said that Payton kept beans for himself during the challenge so of course I immediately told Payton so then we got the anti Jordan train rolling BUT WAIT now Jordan wants to work with our newbie alliance so idk how I got out of this bean mess unscathed nobody even blamed for it which offends me deeply and I would just like to say that Jordan Means rhymes with beans so he was the one that held out that is all

I'm not agreeing with Amanda or Payton so that nobody can use my words against me but now everyone is turning against Payton who I trust so very much so I feel really torn about the vote and Ahhhh

Looks like I'm the only newbie here that grew a pair of balls today. Jordan told me that he knows Petra and I was like "Oh shit, I have to flip this vote on my own!" So, I suggested it to the newbies alliance. Turns out, I was right for having a bad feeling about them. Payton goes to Chris and tells him that I'm throwing his name out there. This little hoe is really testing my patience huh??? I rallied up myself, Jordan, Madison, Toph, Adrian, and Willa to get Chris out. Things should go smoothly because I highly doubt he has an idol. I heard that people were also trying to get Payton out, but I brought up the point that if Payton goes he will give Chris immunity. I thoroughly believe Chris is a very smart person so I think he would throw immunity just so he can take out one of our numbers, which could wind up being me. Also, this is how I know Payton is out to get me. [3:15:32 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: hmm [3:15:37 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: just be careful [3:15:58 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: watch your back [3:16:20 PM] Amanda Sledge: okay then [3:16:23 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: look [3:16:25 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: dont be fake [3:16:28 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: dont come at me w that fake shit [3:16:29 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: ill get u out [3:16:33 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: easily [3:16:35 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: trust me [3:16:38 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: im not some fool [3:16:46 PM] Amanda Sledge: okay [3:17:35 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: just done be fake thats all [3:17:38 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: otherwise im a great guy!

God, I've been torn all day, but I decided to vote Payton out. Chris gave me a really good case, and I decided to listen to it. Let's hope that it will benefit me in the game! Fingers crossed. [5:24:29 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: well this is my pitch to you in regards to not voting me [5:24:33 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: I am loyal to those who help me [5:24:43 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: you came after me in a good attempt but without getting to know me [5:24:51 PM] Amanda Sledge: fair point [5:24:54 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: i don't judge that or hold it against you, I expected it coming into the game [5:25:08 PM] Amanda Sledge: my messages are gonna send later my wifi sucks sorry [5:25:10 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: im pretty loyal, I'm good at comps. i am the only winner in this game so there will be plenty of time to get me out [5:25:12 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: no worries youre good [5:25:18 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: no one will let me win twice [5:25:29 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: let alone make finals again [5:25:36 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: i got luky a second time cause i had 2 very very close friends who i knew for 6 years [5:25:46 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: this time im alone with a big red target on my back [5:26:31 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: thats the jist. im loyal to those who help me. my allies make it to the end with me. I'm strong in comps and I will always have a big target [5:26:37 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: this big move of yours will paint a target on your back [5:26:48 PM] Chris "Fabio" Stoner: and i think it benefits you to have me in the game to keep that target me and you in the shadows

After tonight Imma just shut up for a while XD

Dora the explorer becoming my best friend? more likely then you think
