I guess the “I got detention on saturday” thread that entertained me this morning got the cornfield treatment. I was looking forward to checking back in with that one. ---

I didn’t find it entertaining the first time it appeared under a different name the day before. ---

Well to be fair, I found it entertaining because one of the first responses suggested the op should get detention for terrible grammar. ---

It was probably the same “name plus numbers” person who had 2 or 3 other accounts this week. ---

Did that guy claiming to be a Russian saying weird things about American movies a few months back get banned, or just stop posting? Because he’s obviously back: [https://boards.straight](https://boards.straight) [dope.com/t/was-alfred-hitchcock-the-worst-american-director/988446](http://dope.com/t/was-alfred-hitchcock-the-worst-american-director/988446) (Remove the space to see his face.) ---

Yes, that is a trock, and yes they were banned before. I’m reporting as an obvious trock. Previous (locked) thread if you’re curious: > [@What's your opinion on "Darling Lili", an old American movie?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-opinion-on-darling-lili-an-old-american-movie/976403): > > I’m a fan of Julie Andrews, just because I was extremely impressed with “The Sound of Music” and “Mary Poppins”. You know, there’re loads of critics of this film, and the estimations in IMDB aren’t very high. However, it’s obvious that the most of old movies are much better than that of our era, because the actors weren’t thought to be a set of wage-slaves. P. S. It would appear that my tastes are just conservative, but, believe you me, I really regret that modern films don’t surpass the higher… ---
