Tina Fey is NOT FUNNY

Dane Cook is.

Nixon wasn't so bad.*



*= if you ignore everything related to Vietnam and Watergate

'Drive' is an extremely overrated movie

she used to be, she's now officially overplayed her schtick and it no longer works. she needs to come up with a fresh character.


i like it a lot, but i didn't know it was "overrated"-- in fact i thought it was quite underrated, i.e., pretty much unknown

Individualism, capitalism, neoliberalism and anarcho-capitalism/minarchism is the way to go.

The Chelsea Light Moving album isn't that good.

^speaking about chelsea light moving, i clicked on a clip the other day and yes, my crush on john moloney took its form.
on the other hand, it doesnt register how he decided to join this band.

about drive..well, no film with gosling in it..is unknown anymore.
the movie itself, i expected more. yeah, it was poor.


matt damon and ben afleck; since the first time i saw them acting together, ifeel that there is smth really off with those two. i cant express what it is exactly, because i dont know it. i get the same feeling especially with matt, even when i see them acting separately.

Ben Affleck is a terrible terrible actor. he has two facial expressions, dumbfounded stupor, and smug smirk.

hahaha i can live with that (explanation)!

and in argo, even with hair and beard, he didnt fool me!

i reckon it could have been intentional, but 'breaking bad' has been very sexist. it irritated me majorly for that reason.

Marriage under the State is between a man and a women.

Who???

Bacon is overrated.

I don't know if I said this in the unpopular music opinion thread....but I enjoy U2's Pop album.

The reputation thingie will probably overheat now.

Oh, and also: socialists are narrowminded and selfrighteous.

Ben Affleck makes better films than Martin Scorsese (right now)

the self does not exist
free will and volition do not exist
global warming is real
the enlightenment failed
capitalism is dying
the west is in decline
you cannot make yourself happy with happy thoughts
people who say they enjoy life are liars
noone has ever known what the fuck they are talking about
creation is a religious notion, either creationism or the secular worship of art, its all the same stupidity
all art is shit and wont redeem anything

agreed. but your art comment, i would agree on the redemption part although i've never heard anyone make the claim that it would redeem anything haha.

I would argue that many people know what they are talking about, but that those that do not know, assume the "knowers" are wrong.

eh???

or the starter. don;t forget the starter

just wait 5 years

i agree with most of this but why should you be miserable without a god or an "immortal soul"? do you miss them, or something?

(it seems to me that your premises are correct but your conclusions are all wrong.)

-john ford: a lot of people agree with you

-QT: fuck, yes, ugh! but give him at least pulp fiction. i was brilliant when it came out.

-whedon: he's mainly a "snappy dialogue" guy. if that's not your thing, you haven't much reason to like him. i know his weaknesses (he's at times too derivative) but i still like him a lot though.

i'm not really knowledgeable enough to discuss music. had to wikipedia greg sage. can't think of anything i remember by the wipers. yes, that's popular in these boards...

The Beach Boys suck and have always sucked.

When he wanted to, Paul RAWKED harder than John.

He's a good director, but Grapes Of Wrath was just shit. Oh and so was The Quiet Man.

please tell that to the dolts at bitchdork

look at #1 and 7.

!!!

Well that's hardly true. Whilst it's true Marie could come across as annoying sometimes, she's hardly this one-dimensional character you trying to make out.

The scenes after *SPOILERS*Hank was shot*SPOILERS*did a brilliant job of showing her more depth and character than "a controlling bitch with no awareness or concern for herself "

I'm with el Symbols. Give the man Pulp Fiction, at least. I can see how the rehash thing could be applied to his more recent stuff but while PF obviously has its influences I'd say Tarantino treated them in a pretty original way, at least at the time, and definitely compared with most of the countless films it influenced. The sense that it lacks anything distinctive now, may be the result of its style winding up in almost every gangster movies made after it. I like Pulp Fiction, Hard Boiled and Goodfellas a lot, but for their combined influence on recent gangster movies, I almost wish they'd never been made.

i like smoking.



its smth of the unpolpular talk, that i wish i could express.
efbieye could could catch me'
pointless- i ll eat and go to bed (post for the tipsy thread).

ok smth else- where are the people of the spirit. these days?
yeah, many of us are and i can say many things, but here are the people of the intellect, to inspire but most of all, to give solutions?
i m fed off talks about what 'got us here', i want to hear about solutions.
i say the above for so long.. ii m tired now. i mean i cant say much on line.
goodmorning. and goodnight. xxx

inspire? give solutions? i think nietzsche was on the right track. i think what he proposed in "beyond good and evil" was immensely great, the work of centuries, but nobody has taken up the task yet (instead they talk about him, the academics). but it's there if you want to take a look.

yes i do and i agree with much of it but there is something to be said for metaphors made out of metaphors and completely artificial worlds instead of the customary and expected attempts at realism we always get from film.

i think he succeeded in pulp fiction when it came out. i don't know that the movie would work so well today because it's been so imitated, it's become such a common trope, that its original impact is very hard to perceive.

for me it came some 45 minutes into the movie i was siting in that theatre, nervous as shit with everything that was going on-- gangsters, junkies, violence, blood-- when mia makes that very stupid joke about ketchup. and then i realized-- it's all ketchup, it's all stage blood, it's all a movie. and i couldn't stop laughing after that. the violence, the horror, the atrocity--it had all become a big joke. because it's what it was. it wasn't a documentary. it was just images, made out of other images, to entertain us. and that was great.

but tarantino has the emotional capacity of a 12 year old and fucked it up afterwards.

okay i have to go to the market now but more later

I look forward to it (non-sarcasm).

I must admit I have some prejudice towards Gypsies.

i do not miss that shit. it's never done me any favours.

to paraphrase john gray "happiness is a fiction i can do without."

so why not find pleasure in their absence? it's a huge freedom (and life is short).


who's that? regardless-- with a name like "gray" i feel one has no chance for happiness. less gray, more ru paul!

but happiness-- i don't know about definitions of that shit. why even construct such a fiction. however-- survival is good, and pleasure abounds, and not just the coarse kind (though coarse ain't bad either).

--

ps- i just read john gray's wikipedia page. he sounds like a no-fun bitter cunt. fuck him! (morality is an illusion, yet he moralizes like a champ) is that who you follow? find a better prophet-- furreal!

You won't be saying that when you next run out of clothes pegs.
