Sometimes I do some quick math, and I almost regret ever having gone, let alone for the better part of seven years.

haaa haaaaa haaaaa

yes


but who wants to grow up and get a job? it's a fucking drag and you know it.

i have a bsc and a ba bhaaa haaaa haaaa

(plus an ma and 1/2 a phd but enuff is enuff)

imagine if you had what I have, a BFA that no employer even understands what it means!

Bachelors of Fine Arts.

I have been asked "what did you study?" and I say "Painting." and I have made many employers ask, "like, house painting?"

fucking hell.

I got a double BS: math & geology. Both insanely complicated & fascinating. Probably spent 4 hours a night at the books...

ah, math! my bs (lol) was in biology w/ a math minor. i used to love that stuff! now i can't even do a simple multiplication in my head.

For the Kill List fans, be sure to watch Down Terrace (!!!), A Field in England (!!), Sightseers(!). I wasn't so fond of High Rise, I think they threw a bunch of money at Wheatley and he kind of lost his way on that one. I have Free Fire sitting here, but am a bit afraid to watch it based on mediocre reviews, "Ben, what's happening??!?"

Watched Cillian Murphy in Peacock, interesting movie, he's got some real skills, and Sarandon/E Page just about always good. Had a bit of a Psycho vibe going in it, kind of a surprise. Nice soundtrack, odd tubular bells and other percussion, pretty tasty stuff and added to the atmospherics. Cillian is TINY, quell suprise. Maybe 5'2" and 110? Who'd have guessed that?

He looks like a tiny dude to me. I didn't think he's probably 5'2, because that's just... wow... not do I think he's 110. Maybe more like 5'6", 130. Which is still really fucking small. That's about 4 inches shorter and 15-20 lbs lighter than I am, and I'm totally the "little guy" of every group I've ever been a part of.

Abyway, you didn't like High Rise? That's on my watch list. Keep meaning to get to it, based on the recommendation of someone here actually.

nope, watch Down Terrace first, next watch High Rise. Will be a good contrast, IMO. He's lost his way in the field of cash sent his way, I guess, he also might be relying to much on the wife for writing? Hard to say, but definitely inferior product to me... Field in England is a great mindfuck in the same genre as Kill List.

lamer than i remembered, except for rosario dawson who is lovely, and the sex show scene which was hilarious

Felt like watching Forrest Gump for some reason tonight.

o man. i hate that movie. i also hated tom hanks for decades as a result.

I really hate that movie too. It smeared its crap all over virtually every facet of modern culture for a while. And it wasn't good, and it bested Pulp fucking Fiction at the Oscars for Christ's sake. Pulp Fiction!

I did like the Curious Case of Benjamin Button though. At least, as a big Hollywood hullabaloo. It was like the Forrest Gump fairy tale with a more interesting premise and it was also more believable and based on better source material. Oh, and better acted.

the thing in spite of his horrible mainstream roles tom hanks is actually a decent actor (see him in ryan's privates for example, where he's great) but i just couldn't stop seeing his dreadful character in everything he did after gump. eventually it subsided and i could see him again. and cloud atlas is pretty cool actually.

never seen benjamin button. what genre of film is it?

the genre where weird shit happens to good looking white people

ha ha ha ha

tragedy, then?

Step off. Tom Hanks is a great actor. And Tarantino? Pfft, the day that guy does an original shot on film is the day i'll see him as maybe something more than a pop culture director. A director more akin to a teen doing a collage than any director of decent standing.

I'm a Tom Hanks hater, too. The abysmal Bridge of Spies was the last one I tried to watch, got about 15 minutes into it, just awful, awful, awful acting.

Tom Hanks is good at times, bad at times. I love his comedy films a ton. I do not watch his relationship films.
Cast Away was awesome, but I am a huge Robinson Crusoe nut.

When I first saw Gump I was impressed with the scope of the story but I found my angle on it to be completely in opposition with everyone else. I saw Forrest Gump as the story of a simpleton with no Ego, who absolutely devastates and ruins the lives of nearly everyone he comes in contact with, in ways he doesn;t even see nor care about, because he is a simpleton.
Lt. Dang? crippled
Bubba Shrimp? dead
His mom? endless suffering due to Gump and then death.
his special lady-friend? abusive relationship after abusive relationship followed by death by AIDS
John Lennon? assassinated
Kennedy? assassinated
Nixon? resigns in disgrace
Elvis? dies fat in disgrace from drug OD


;)

Tom Hanks is OK, he just got massively overexposed in the 90s, making it easy for people to get sick of him.
