People who complain about infidelity in cinema are so boring and annoying


Please, spare me your tut-tutting and finger wagging.

OP: Thank you! But take heart. They're probably the same people who won't get vaccinated and are dying of Covid.

reply

Haha, you may be onto something there.

this didn't age well.

How do you figure?

reply

Oh, just that for the vast majority of people who did not get the vaccine and died, would have died anyways if they had. I 100% agree with your initial post, though.

That's cool about the OP and all, but a 2022 study cited by the esteemed CIDRAP center at the University of Minnesota found: "Without vaccination the U.S. would have experienced 1.5 times more infections, 3.8 times more hospitalizations, and 4.1 times more deaths." That's three million more dead Americans (and counting: that doesn't include 2023 at all).

So I would say the comment definitely aged well.

Infidelity is causal and the norm, which makes it boring and annoying.

Or maybe you should just chill out a bit?

[EDIT]

How you figure?

reply

I never EVER said infidelity in film was boring and annoying. Only the people who complain about it. But I assume you are trolling me, which is giving you the benefit of the doubt: otherwise your reading comprehension skills are sorely lacking.

Sorry, my train of thought was elsewhere while typing, and edited my comment with a better frame of mind. [I tried to make my edit fast enough before you'd be able to read it, but I failed].

Please disregard. My bad.

reply

Okay.

reply

But, I still stand by my initial statement; however, in due time the concept of "infidelity" will be out of sight, out of mind as "coupled" relationships will be thrown out the window.


I don't think in the near future or anything, but at some point.

reply

That would be good!

reply

Please do t say that.

reply

Why not?
