"Your thoughts are as significant to me as the thoughts of a woodpecker."
Yet you're here furiously typing out long winded quasi-essays in response to them. I mean, what exactly is your endgame here - to waste my time? Because if you're trying to salvage back a little self respect, or convince me that you aren't in fact a complete dumbass for using popularity as a gauge for genius, you're doing a pitiful job. Just admit it was a stupid point to make next time.
But hey, I am glad you went from claiming you had no clue what I was talking about in terms of presenting someone else's opinion as your own, to in fact admitting that you presented someone else's opinion as your own. So thanks for that.
You're babbling, friend.
DancingintheDark: "Genius, no, but neither is Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Dave Chapelle…."
5 minutes later...
jacotodd47: "And he isn't a genius, but in fact, none of the rest of them (fellow comedians) are either."
As for my opinion on Andy Kaufman, instead of your plagiarism... I don't really have a strong one. My issue was with the ludicrous notion you presented that we should judge someone's genius by their general popularity. Feel free to back off on that totally ridiculous point and we'll be (mostly) copacetic.
Man, you're really on an epic manic bender right now, aren't you?
Tommy Boy is a classic by the way.
Think I've already made my opinion quite clear. And what exactly did I misspell? Are you going to give me your enlightened perspective on how "alright" is a more modern albeit less formal version of "all right" and shouldn't be accepted as proper diction on an internet message board? Oh, please do.
By the way, after the pitiful ad populum argument, why did you decide to directly inject DancingintheDark's opinion about other comedians not being geniuses into your post as your own? You're not doing yourself any favors here, boy.
Oh you clued me into something alright, unfortunately it involved the qualitative state of your brain, not Andy's.
So your litmus test for whether someone was a genius or not is how popular they were? Gee, glad you're here to tell us these things.
Take your meds.
You're going to be a block account if you don't behave yourself, boy.
Because the current Democratic administration has not only shown that they don't care about his goals, they've committed lawfare against his companies and are an active hindrance to them. From being ridiculously snubbed at the EV summit by Biden, to having the DOJ sue SpaceX for totally illogical and contrary reasons, to having the FAA continually delay Starship launches, etc.
This isn't even factoring in other aspects like some leftists calling for his arrest for making X a more free-speech-based platform, under the malicious guise of spreading "misinformation" and "hate speech". Trump has shown an interest in space and will be attending the IFT-6 Starship launch later today. He also didn't run on a platform for censorship.
With Trump, there's more of an alignment in ideals and a clear path forward for his goals. With the left, there's nothing but extreme contempt and roadblocks for daring to be successful/not buying into whatever nonsense they're currently peddling.
Have you ever actually listened to Elon speak or paid attention to his companies? As unbelievable as it may sound to you, the guy wants to help improve humanity - trying to reach more sustainable energy goals with Tesla, help disabled people regain function with Neuralink, bring fast internet to even the most remote areas with Starlink, ensure freedom of speech online with X, and make life multiplanetary with SpaceX (which is probably his main goal - https://youtu.be/H7Uyfqi_TE8?t=2758).
He's continually put much of his personal wealth on the line, going way back to when he first acquired some with Zip2/Paypal, to try and make these things a reality. It's really not that complicated.
Absolutely. His ego is huge and his output is shit.
The fact that Ridley not only thought that making a sequel to Gladiator was a good idea, but actually went through with it, just shows how incredibly far he's regressed (as if the Alien prequels weren't enough). Dude needs to hang it up ASAP.
Damn straight.
The man's enlarged my mind, he's a poet warrior in the classic sense!
This is hardly the only subforum I've seen your dreck floating around in. Whether these particular garbage-tier links point to you having a massive hate hard-on for Elon is besides the point, and hardly surprising. The issue is that your account produces trash that is as filthy as it is consistent.
You're making great strides with these last few posts though - I'm glad I was able to shock you out of your bot-like stupor, at least temporarily.
What I don't agree with is your borderline spamming of garbage-tier links in 99% of your posts. Do you really think that a Google result or a random Reddit post is somehow going to validate your nonsense?
I'm surprised you even responded to my post, and more than that, got so buttmad that you went grubbing around through my post history to respond to something else. I assumed you were an astroturfing bot at this point. Silly me.
So now you're literally linking Google results? What an absolute trashfire of an account you have.
And of course, there's always some contrarian out there who takes offense at their desire to feel special/go against the grain being highlighted, and attempts to cloak their emotional need as merely a "departure" from the "consensus". Bonus points for copying the writing structure of the original poster in a desperate attempt to be clever (fully in line with the previously described personality traits).
Agree with most of this, but I guess I'm one of the few who actually liked the ending of him getting stabbed. The "I want a fine young son, to take my place" musical attachment was probably the only one that really elevated a scene.
Arthur failing at his relationship with the supposedly pregnant Harley, and instead leaving a "son" through the inspiration of his Joker persona. I don't know, it felt strangely twisted and appropriate to me, and the shot of him bleeding out with the dude laughing in the background was artfully done.
The rest of the movie was quite the mess however, despite some highlights here and there.
