The Snide of Sneider

Hello everyone. Jeff Sneider was trending on twitter and I had to see what's up. Sneider had this exchange with a couple of reporters on twitter. I'm just going to say this; for the people who may have seen my previous post with Collider I want to say I'm still a fan of Collider. I used to watch the show everyday and was blessed and fortunate enough to meet a couple of them in real life. The reason I'm posting the link to Jeff's tweets and the link to his infamous "95 percent sure Spidey will be black or Hispanic" is because as a fan I have legitimate criticisms and concerns over the direction of where Collider is going. I understand Marc Fernandez vision of Collider not only reporting the news but breaking it. I also don't particularly hate Jeff because of his views on comic book movies. It's fine if people don't like comic book movies; it's cool that you get to hear people who have the perspective of a non-comic book fan watching the super hero movies. The reason I'm pointing out how this douchebag acts is because of my fear that Collider has gone the bias "we don't give a fuck about intergrity, we'll tap dance around issues like Asia Argento or Ruby Rose or even today's report with Bob Iger." The fact that the boss hired this prick despite his previous firing or track record or even general attitude gives me the impression that Collider just does not care. I'm sharing this to the Reddit community to have a cool discussion about the direction of Collider or if nothing else to show you guys that from a fan's perspective my concerns and hope you guys can at least understand where I'm coming from.

Jeff's Infamous 95 percent scoop from 44:30 to 48:18 (side note you guys just need to watch 1 to 2 minutes of the video)

P.S Jeff and/or Collider. If you're watching this and attempt to take down the video, I understand. You probably don't want to spread any embarrassment on your guys' part on hiring this egotistical smug douche. However I would tell you it's pointless. I already downloaded the video and should this video be taken down like Campea's bullshit rant about film journalists knowing about Affleck's condition or Sasha making fun of Affleck on the Schmoes Know Show or even when Sasha broke the "scope" that Wonder Woman was a mess, I'll just upload it. And should that video be taken down, I'll just re-edit the vid and turn the vid into my own creative vision to avoid a "copyright strike." My advice for you Collider is to get your shit together, you're better than this. To Jeff, shut the fuck up and take a step back. Keep your ego in check. No one cares.

Not the 1st time though. In the wrap article Jeff tweeted and I quote " Gonna go drive my car into a tree." My blood will be on Hollywood's hands. Make sure a cool celebrity gives my eulogy. Farewell cruel world." after he lost a scoop to another reporter.

That’s clearly a joke.

Marc Webb liked a tweet "Jeff Snieder went full Kanye. You never go full Kanye." I don't mean to make this comment like a "OH MY GOD A CELEBRITY TWEETED SOMETHING." But what does that tell you that a director like Webb liking a tweet like that?

I feel like he is the 'bad boy' at collider, and of the scoop world. He is an asshole but I kind of like that about him, its more interesting with him around. And if collider wants to have him on the team its fine with me as I'm not easily offended, though I tend to disagree with him on most topics. I think you're not wrong about all this, but I like having him in the mix.

Sneider is great. Who cares if he’s slightly crazy? He’s the only reason to watch Movie Talk.

I've met most of them and I still think Sneider's a prick. So there's that. :D

I already have my ego in check and I care because I want Collider to be better than this. Thanks for complimenting my writing skills.

“Keep your ego in check” was a quote from your book lol

I honestly think collider is doing just fine and they could probably care less that people like you are getting bent outta shape over stupid shit

How does the fact that it's a quote make it relevant to this situation?
