Yes - I'm Still On Facebook
Hey folks, Harry here... I've gotten quite a few emails from old FACEBOOK friends wanting to know what happened to me on FACEBOOK. Well, apparently my account had too much "activity" around my Birthday. I had received a couple of thousand Birthday well-wishes, and apparently FACEBOOK admins have some kneejerk to accounts that have that level of activity. I don't know if this is the case, but as I hadn't violated any of their "codes of conduct" I can't imagine what else it could be. And FACEBOOK doesn't seem to want to repond to inquiries of any kind. I wish that account was reactivated, but their no contact policy seems to have stopped that. Which is a shame, I did have the #8 Zombie in the world and I miss that lil fucker. (Yes, I am a sad sad man) - But anyway - I'm on there, all you have to do is search for HARRY KNOWLES and I'm the one holding the actual Stone Tablets that Moses brought down from Mt Sinai as carved by the finger of God and Cecil B Demille! See you on there!

You're self absorbed. Who the fuck cares about your facebook page.
-
Facebook has had a few gremlins lately
-
Get on twitter!
-
Clearly, at least 2000 people cared around his birthday
-
This is aintitcoolnews.com and that headline "Yes - I'm still on Facebook" is pretty presumptuous that anyone reading it would automatically know it's about Harry. This may be a site created by Harry himself but it is not about him and him alone.
-
Do you also go to Digg and complain about Kevin Rose, or Xbox360fanboy and talk about how much xbox sucks? Lonely troll must be lonely.
-
Hands down, all time, most disturbing animated sequence in the top banner of any website...ever! And I've visited some pretty disgusting websites. I'll never be able to watch another Keven Spacey movie, ever again. Otherwise, happy new year. .
-
be honest, are sucking harry off or what?
-
Facebook fucking sucks. Yes, I'm that guy today.
-
"please, more info on your awesome memorabilia collection and your famous friends!" signed: landosystem
-
it's a piece of shit website.<p> And the new animation is indeed traumatizing. Plus, is it really accurate? I thought you shaved your beard, or has it taken over your face again already?
-
What's that? You don't care?<p>Pffft.
-
As do all of these "social networking sites because I'm an attention whore."
-
Just wondering as I never saw any official announcement.
-
do you have any pics of your poster collection online? that one you had on your facebook of your woodland cafe poster behind your xmas tree was awesome.
-
Thanks I can sleep now...what no one gives a fuck? Imagine that.
-
You gluttonous internet trollop, this is by far the most nefarious way of boosting the ranks of your Facebook friends list yet! Rickey salues you sir!
-
Quick Harry! post a eulogy describing how important he was to you and how badly you will miss him!
-
can't see any pics of stone tablets :-)
-
He's probably getting ready to do a review on some next peice of 2k crap no one will buy, BUT HE GOT FOR FREE!! Add in nerd references for bonus Pang.
-
you really must be bored to come to a website just to be rude about it and it's proprietor!
-
to try and pick-up on charming fat crippled guys who are classically trained in ballroom and tap! HOT STUFF! *wolf whistle!*
-
You guys never cease...
-
I was strongly opposed to getting on it, but after repeated entreaties from my friends, I joined... and now I'm a hopeless Facebook zombie. I'm as disgusted with myself as anyone, but its actually pretty friggin' cool. People I haven't spoken to or even thought about in YEARS are suddenly appearing out of the innerwebs to say "hi!" Of course, theres a downside to that too... but mostly I think its neato, and I'm surprised how much I like it.
-
Is MySpace dead or what? Everybody on Face Book. What's the difference? Should I switch over? Or should I just get real friends?
-
Facebook and Myspace advertising dogshit for losers...use email you sad cunts
-
oh my god.

erm...well thats more of my life i just wasted both typing n reading that..cheers.

proper sendoff for Moriarty.

Jett Travolta, the 16 year old son of John Travolta and Kelly Preston died after apparently having a seizure and hitting his head in the bathtub of their vacation home in the Bahamas. My thoughts go out to his family. Tragic, horrible loss.
-
People search, Page 5. You'll have to pass by all five instances of Renee Sztozek. BTW, don't people who don't care about a particular item here just ignore it? Or is that just me?
-
And people complaining that they have to read about Harry on his own site is about the stupidest thing I've ever seen, heh. Thanks for the laugh, guys.
-
Thanks for the update... I guess.
-
what Mori's new site is called?<p> Christmas and New Year's Eve/Day distracted me; and I never picked up on what that is all about.
-
I still don't have it. Don't like it. Don't like not being allowed to use a nick if I would choose to, don't like the fact that it's so hard to delete an account, don't like the whole impersonal Big Brother Is Watching vibe I get from that website and I don't like that it doesn't seem fun to use.<br> <br> Maybe I'm paranoid, but I just prefer MySpace and I see no reason to get a facebook.<br> <br> Or maybe I just don't want to be contacted by people I barely knew and didn't really like in junior high.<br> <br> That, and what this guy says:<br> http://tinyurl.com/849zbu

Michael Ian Black was banned from Facebook for having over 5000 friends, so he tore them a new asshole on his blog. That post got passed around until Facebook caved and gave him his account back ... but he can't add any more friends because they still have the 5000 friend limit.
-
what? why? when?
-
because he thinks he can do better than harry and his website. so he went to a website called "hitfix" as an editor or i dont know what the fuck he does. moriarty's writing has always been pretentious anyway. dude writes a couple of shit scripts and thinks he's better then harry.
-
i cannot be arsed by it al. some tiem away will be good for me as i'm always on the fucking thing. it was my new years resolution. quite facebook for a while, give up cigarettess ( day 2, going alright!) and get fit and lose weight. Harry hows the weight loss doing fella?
-
The most disturbing image imaginable. Just kidding, big red.
-
It was announced in one of his reviews a few weeks ago. He's gone over to Hitflix. I don't know if there was a falling out or what because after 12 years you'd expect a decent sendoff.
-
Even if I disagreed with the review I always like Mori's review style. I mean he's no Neil Cumpston, but still....
-
4 billion friend requests. again.
-
you CAN create a nickname dont worry. i dont use my real name at all there and their privacy settings are pretty good if you just dont wanna be bothered by anyone. i have mine set that the only people who can even find me are those on my friend list and they even have to be logged in to see me. if they are logged in and do a search, i wont show up on any list. not that i'm so important but i like my privacy so on that aspect they're pretty good. course i'm not a so called facebook zombie, i just check now and then for updates..i've never spent more than 10mins in one stay. but yeah, being anonymous is all up to you.
-
...i meant if they AREN'T logged in they wont find me.
-
Harry and Quint both suck ass. No Mori anymore, I wondered where he went. lol While I'm at it Scott Green has the most underrated column thats worth reading. But Harry is full of himself and his reviews are chalked full of stuff about HIM, or HIS past, or SOMETHING related to HIM. Nobody cares. And Quits a little pussy who talks shit about people but when he interviews them or meets them he becomes their best friend. CLASSY.
-
i always preferred myspace but w/e...unfortunately i flow with thwind
-
THANK GOD YOU'RE STILL ON FACEBOOK, HARRY... BECAUSE WITHOUT YER MOO-COW MUG AND THAT SHIT-EATING GRIN OF YOURS MAKING MY DAY MORE COMPLETE, I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW I COULD GO ON! HONEY, CANCEL THAT BATCH OF PEOPLE'S TEMPLE KOOL-AID FOR YOU, ME, AND THE KIDS... HARRY'S BACK ON FACEBOOK AND WE'RE GOIN' OUT TO CELEBRATE!<P>Oh, and kindly get that fucking American Beauty GIF off the main page.
-
Hobowars is where the cool kids hang out.
-
Quint's A Movie A Day column shows he has extreme geek fortitude. What was supposed to be a month-long experiment has been going strong since last May or June.

.. now that we have all that whiney crap out of the way...<br> <br> Sorry to hear that, Harry. Isn't it funny how we're the ones that make these people/social sites huge vats of money and bring loads of attention and eyeballs to them, and when we mention they screw up, every basement-dwelling fucktard comes out of the woodwork to tell us which sites suck and why we should be somewhere else anyway? Or nowhere? I mean, you don't even sound like you're complaining, not even in tone. It's just non-business as usual for these people. Not to even mention the fact that service doesn't exist at these sites. Yes, they are free. But if noone used them, guess what? They wouldn't exist or get purchased by the likes of Murdoch and company, etc. So a little attention is in order. I know people who have been on these sites for YEARS and just POOM.. out of nowhere they try to log in and their accounts are gone. No notification and no explanation, no matter how hard you try. I don't use facebook, because every time I do it feels like my privacy is being invaded. So I just deleted my account. But I have accounts on other social networks, have never spammed anyone, never posted anything "offensive".. yet have lost every account at least once. My theory is this... people just generally suck. Someone is either jealous of you, or hates something you are. They send in a false complaint or "flag" and once in a while it hits a "worker" who doesn't bother investigate. They hit delete and know that there's no way for you to get them in trouble for it, so they simply don't care. It sucks, sorry it happened to you. But when they give employees that much power with no recourse, it's just going to happen from time to time. It's the same thing that's been happening on the Internets for years. Reminds of when site/forum owners let their friends be moderators and they just get a thrill out of deleting people and breaking all the rules themselves. It's just something you have to get used to , accept , ignore or just never get involved with.
-
I'm anti-Herc because he doesn't review Sons of Anarchy. I think Mr. Beaks reviews are terrible, however, his interviews are incredible. Quite ironic.
-
But it's just the vibe I get from that place. Nothing against it, just didn't feel right for me.
-
..networking site. I've tried it. I created a new account on a particular site, used it for months, added no offensive content whatsoever, did not spam, did not over-use the account. And anyone can do this. All you need is 5 people or so. I used 5. Just have 5 or more people send in a complaint about an account at the same time/day. They will usually delete and not respond to inquiries. Try it! But not for evil.
-
..I mean Facebook..
-
is when a website (like this one) links to it for a movie trailer or something. I've never felt like I needed my own website. It just seems unnecessary for me. <p> From what I've read on this TB, these social networking sites can be pretty indifferent to the people using them. That's a bit ironic, isn't it? <p> But hey! Millions appear to like it! Goooo Millions!!

I'll only have Harry as a friend on there if he adds me
by theyreflockingthisway
There's loads Harry Knowles and just one of me - easier that way...
-
In such dark and desperate times, it's good to know Harry is still on Facebook.

Breaking news: We don't give a shit Harry! I wish my name was CNN, it would be perfect for a post like this.
-
If only I could create a facebook profile and befriend Harry, bitches would find me irresistible! Especially with my new haircut, I am in the zen buddha!
-
is gay. lemmings
-
Just fucking with you, Harry. Do your thing, man.
-
I´m sure one rose petal was enough to cover Harry´s private parts. Happy New Year Headgeek!
-
to Zooey Deschanel...who I found because I have Casper Van Dien as a friend...and he added her...I also sent Casper a xmas greeting stating that "the only good christmas is a dead christmas..." Random facebook celebrities FTW!!!
-
Seriously.
-
They're still real to me, DAMMIT!!!
-
Color me relieved!
-
just review some movies or find some more spoilers from the internet.
-
where's your Linkedin account. <br> <br> Don't you know millions of CEO's log on to linkedin everyday?
-
Parents are now on facebook. Tweens have moved on to twitter and when parents get on that. They'll move somewhere else.
-
I don't know, you may want to limit your friends to peeps you know IRL. So is it cool for Talkbackers to add you or no?
-
He was getting ready for a concert, putting on all the makeup, when he looked out the window. What he saw were parents and young children in Kiss makeup. It was at that point that he realized that Kiss was no longer on the cutting edge and had become a carnival show. I'm not saying Harry on the book of faces is the end, but it sure doesn't look good.
-
is about being on the cutting edge! Fuck practicality! "Oh, you use Facebook? hahahaha you might as well say you use Friendster! *giggle*snort*" Fucking hipsters.
-
If people get tired of something, they move on to something else. When they do, there goes the social network.
-
I was soooooooooo glad when it finally went away. It's just wrong.
-
Just askin'...

"Kiss was no longer on the cutting edge and had become a carniva
by Bob Cryptonight
Kiss were never on the cutting edge. At best they were like The Monkees (although at least the Monkees were more sincere about where they fit in).

You want to know who's more sad than Facebook users? People who take the time and effort to make fun of Facebook users.

...NOT to be on Facebook!<p> BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! SCORCH!

Damn You Michael Bay

Karma.

Imagine a world where the population VOLUNTEERS itself into Orwell's nightmare...
-
i only speak in movie-talk and catchphrases and trivia anyway, you rebel scum.
-
I know a couple of guys who are obsessed with this facebook, myspace and twitter bullshit but none who have the balls to think that anyone looking for entertainment news would give fuck about how many happy birthdays they got and what happened to your Facebook account. tell your "friends" what happened when you see them next. Unless this was all some weird joke in which case I salute you. by the way check out myspace.com/plannedbrotherhood or twitter.com/plannedbrohood. Fuck Facebook
-
....i only ever read harry, mori and quint before. down to two i guess. i feel i have to know something about the reviewer i'm reading otherwise for me there is no point. i'm not into bullshit objective film reviews at all, thats why harry and mori have always been my faves! well i'm guessing i have to hit two sites now instead of one.
-
...feels very sterile.
-
Give it some time to settle into itself. I'm sure it'll feel more lived in eventually. This site here has charm, and I'm never leaving it. But in spite of my not being very fond of Mori on a personal level(interactions here only), I find his writing to be fantastic. And I might even be wrong about the guy on a personal level. Tone can be hard to convey in a talkback, even if you have incredible writing skills. I'll check back into Hitfix again soon. You can bet it will improve. (the calender was particularly bad... concerts and sports but not BSG and Lost premiere dates as notable calendar entries? wh-wh-whaaa??)
-
david lee pickton... Say hello
-
I miss those ads, they were teh heelarious...
-
Sorry, Harry. I feel bad. Just... couldn't help it. Know it's not funny, but what the fuck. Happy '09, sir, thanks for your website. Appreciate it.
-
A few months ago, there was this scandal of some sort in the paper about sports captains from a local high school being kicked off of their respective teams for having photographs up from parties etc. Apparently Facebook allowed the teachers to ignore any privacy settings and block access to the students' website to anyone but the teachers for a few hours so no kids can get wise and try to remove any incriminating pictures, I suppose. Anyone who sticks around places like that are just asking for it now.
-
And here's what the guy says (not me!) "He's a twat fraud critic, who likes practically every film ever made and when he's not 'busy' watching shit and writing reviews that border on pornography and eating barbecue and beef jerkies he's too busy rimming directors and praising there films whether they're shit or not. And I'm surprised I couldn't find a group dedicated to this so I created one myself."
-
And I ain't one of them
-
I know you all were deeply concerned.
-
think about it
-
Be selective who you add as a friend on Facebook, and it actually is pretty cool. I know people that have like 300 friends just so they can show off when someone logs on their profile page, even though they don't talk to 90% of those people. I have limited my friends to friends I talk to now, friends I grew up with in my neighborhood, and friends that I lost touch with through the years.
-
Yes, it's true. In this more and more homogenized world facing a repression and the closing of small businesses along Mainstreet USA, I remain Faceless. Lost amid the crowd of flashier and more corporate friendly faces and invisible through the myriad of endless personal websites and commercial fronts for dating services, I travel through this modern world like the transparent astral projection of Doctor Strange. With not even an amusing cartoon avatar to identify myself to the masses, I remain unknown and unseen. Faceless in 2009.
-
Was how upset he would become when people posted to his talkbacks and criticized him. He would become ENRAGED, and engage in these multiple paragraph arguments with these guys, and then, finally, after throwing a hissy fit temper tantrum for a few hours, would ban the guy. And the post banning stuff was great too cause he would be all like, "yeah, thats right, I have power!" Hilarious! Other than that, I thought his reviews were decent. Only, I never came here for the reviews, I just think the Talkbacks are hilarious. Its like witnessing all sense, rationality, and culture implode; its like watching the end of civilization.
-
just a suggestion, if you're gonna put up everybody and their mother's Top Ten of 2008, why not have Scriptgirl give us her top ten? Let her contribute something to the site, other than her lame weekly report. And I mean an actual written article. Maybe it will help her get just a little respect and acceptance from the talkbackers for once.
-
is that a book full of faces?
-
The rabble leading the charge in the decline of civilization, with pitchforks and torches, are the Cameronites. Those true believers go into a fit of anal apoplexy whenever you cast aspirsions on T2.<p>Now that's that's some funny stuff.
-
The talkback is what I cherish. It's not easy to make me laugh (not bitter, just not very good at laughing) but talkback tickles me a certain way. A certain irressistible addictive way. Recently I came here just to revisit that talkback for the video of those grown kids who still breastfed. Fucking hilarious. It's all thanks to Harry anyway, so thanks for the site, big guy. PS. Facebook fucking sucks.
-
And none of you jerks said anything.
-
Just FYI.
-
Now go fuck yourself. LOL!!!
-
If I could fuck myself, would I be wasting time here?
-
Wow, I'm surprised at the hate on Harry posting this. I think that's what makes a site like AICN great - that it has a face. It's not some invisible, anonymous douche bags writing articles. It's people we've come to know, for better or for worse. When I read the articles here, I can imagine the person behind them, and it makes me enjoy the article that much more, for whatever emotional investment it's worth. So yeah, rock on Harry, you and your bad self.
-
is that Jet Travola wont be able to see your facebook page.<p> And that just makes this sad tragedy even sadder (being that your facebook page got celebrihammered).
-
The folks at Facebook are misogynists of the highest order who should be sued in a class action lawsuit for 200 billion dollars by the women, babies, and families, who they have offended. Since when is a women breast feeding her baby, and showing her nude breast(s), vile or offensive??? And how is it, that in this nation, men are still able to show their bare chests publicly, and not women, including on Facebook--I mean, this ain't Playboy folks??? Hello, a woman's breasts are sweat glands!!!<BR><BR>A 200 million dollar class action lawsuit will teach Facebook alright, and certainly make those bastard settle and do the right thing.
-
Really needs to get that lived-in feel going. AICN may not be the best, but it's my home.
-
blocked that shit
-
Orcus has wasted much time on those apps
-
It was creepy
-
Happy belated birthday. You share the day with a chick in office with whom I would like to experience forbidden carnal pleasure of hedonist extremes.
-
when can we see Scriptgirl in some wet swimwear
-
what have you been burning with your laser these days?
