Re: 2012 US Presidential Elections

I'm going to vote for whoever is hyped the most who also has really bad ideas/policies. Like Ron Paul, or that pizza guy.

Re: The Grizzly Man and Herzog

My confusion was about why a person being an idiot inspires so much anger in him. I asked why, he then explained why, and now I pretty well get it. He's probably frustrated with his life so small things get to him. Personally there's no enmity in how I feel towards idiots-who-cause-their-own-misfor...

Re: The Grizzly Man and Herzog

In Treadwell I saw vast unresolved neuroses and a weakness in character to overcome them. Weakness isn't contemptible. He never hurt anyone more than he hurt himself, and that I find tragic. McCandless, on the other hand, did hurt quite a bit those that loved him. At least Treadwell's folks knew wh...

Re: The Grizzly Man and Herzog

Yes, this is the internet and it's small beans and 'who cares?' and stuff, but you also say in your Into the Wild review that you're glad Chris McCandless is dead. If that's the dude that got himself killed due to extreme negligence, I'm glad he's dead too. What good did he serve? We've got an over...

Re: Question about Inception *spoilers*

What? I never knew it was arrogant to find a film boring, and stupid to find its central metaphor insipid. I'm not sure if the 'totem' is Mol's or not because I didn't like or pay much attention to the film. I believe it's mentioned by Cobb that it is, and so he would have kept it as a keepsake. If ...

Re: Question about Inception *spoilers*

Isn't the top Mol's totem? Was a stupid movie anyway, so goddamn boring. It's like, HEY, THIS IS A METAPHOR FOR BEING AN ARTIST WHO MAKES MOVIES. Okay. Thanks.

Re: mise en scène: pretentious or what?

The term can mean anything on the scene, but that's not bad. Many terms are broad but useful.

Re: 50/50

The populist argument ("a bunch of nameless, scumbag critics told me I should like something, hence I will!") is bad enough, but it's incredible coming from you, considering how often you take critics to task for being biased and worthless. (Which they are) It's not really a populist argu...

Re: New Movie Pic Game

That previous one made me think of Daredevil.
