You're welcome but I am not so much officially "depressed" as a bit naive, into wishful thinking and generally a bit sensitive.
Haha, you took that joke about getting yor wife back, your house back, playing a record backwards, from a scene in "Nil by Mouth" (1997) movie, right?
I've been on PLENTY of MOVIE related boards here and in fact over 70% of my threads and topics here are very much CINEMA related.
Been occasionally at a Political board too but don't have much new to say there. Not sure what is a "GD taboo word" mate. :)
Anyone else feel this way and share my mentality here?
Pretty disturbing if you think about it. Its like - its not just, like in his two later Funny Games movies, the 1997 Austrian and the 2007 Hollywood remake, outside "villains" coming into the family to torture and possibly kill them like that.
including AUDIENCES reactions (i.e. OK you may have such rights, but is it really correct to be angry and dismissive HERE?) and talk about related stuff (heck, that character from one movie was a killer and still a villain, but I don't hear people on every corner complain that they got away with it and movie as a result wasn't dismissed as offensive rubbish etc) and sometimes just engage or indulge in some however medium form of freedom to discuss movies etc, but hopefully not to offend anyone on any real level officially.
Longer time ago I may have even sadly been OFFICIALLY wrong but even THEN I just didn't know better and often messed around or felt compelled to gel what some might say or have said with my own angry mindset that I even felt compelled to turn into real life black comedy - albeit, even though I did end up out of order, but THOSE MOMENTS are FAR behind me and whatnot.
But that's alright as well and perfectly understandable too. We are all fallible and imperfect mortals in this world and on this Earth - I am also one.
ALSO, haha, NOTE, to anyone who thinks I am TOO judgmental, demanding, let alone, stuff like terrible, an asshole or whatever...
I've had VARIOUS moments in life AND online, but also paradoxically moments of unevenness, where I may have for example praised loads of people for good and helpful responses, fell out with those who were actively not on my side (AND NOT always for "right" reasons, I was never ALWAYS bad etc) but also I was either neutral with good people (i.e. haha, I've asked for the information on the message of the song rather than merely its lyrics, although I had nothing AGAINST anyone posting lyrics alone, I was acting like a drooling automaton with a teacher like mentality) or sometimes got, and I REALLY DO APOLOGIZE, carried away in some or other cases with some good and other neutral folks (i.e. NO OFFENSE, I mean, I just wasn't their perfect friend, we were strangers etc, but NOT enemies of any kind EITHER) who occasionally and at the inappropriate moment went into directions I REALLY DID NOT feel like going into at the time, so I asked or, SORRY IF I, ended up DEMANDING, folks, ALRIGHT, LET'S NOT GO THERE etc PLEASE, and if people carried on, I apologize OF COURSE, but I DID lose it a little bit, and when I started to WORRY about how others might see me, well, apologies for becoming IN THE PROCESS a little on the fierce side, but no offense of course to any of you and others EITHER.
Not to mention, I, as I said before, was often affected by FORM as well as content, often for DIFFERENT reasons, and often based on, far from perfectly prepared mindset, how I WAS affected by them. And I sometimes felt compelled to mention some things or "talk about them" to get them off my chest but also to find a satisfying narrative and a calming and effective point, including for stuff like watching films with certain subject matter and even if I STILL agree and RIGHTLY so its "wrong", I still felt compelled in the eyes of such matters discussing OTHER stuff,
Cool
I may answer this if I may...
Just be myself and not worry, accept it and if necessary or no other choice, move on. No one really "owes" me ANYTHING including explanations of a perfectly clear and ultra polite variety, reality often is what it is, many people are perfectly aware of things but don't feel any need to perfectly explain it all and calm some of us (like me) down in a perfectly friendly way even in say disturbing but occasionally complex areas - but we assume people might think wrongly due to mere "stupidity" but its not always as simple as that, even though sadly yes there are plenty of direct examples of textbook de-facto ignorance in our humanity.
If they refuse or even get mad - let them, don't try and force yourself to convince them of anything. Be yourself and be sincere and honest, that's pretty much all and it.
Was that alright?
Cool, on the American Independence Day. :)
Are they, festive sparklers, safe?
And that's not even touching the fact that around even that time, Mr Grachev has become quite unpopular in Russia following his disastrous lead of the war in Chechnya and, well, I can somewhat understand a man of his position and stance taking legal action against newspaper material he found disrespectful. From what I heard that Poegli journalist was given either a full or reduced one year corrective labour and he had to do a year of community service.
Good movie, 7/10 from me, although not Carpenter's greatest work.
It almost felt albeit AMBIGUOUSLY that towards the end, the movie was saying, even if of course it didn't mean to emphasize with him EITHER - "Hitler was a human being too".
"because Roosevelt said so"
Did he also have evidence to back up his claim, and if so, that means its a pass, right?
In life and especially in war, of course matters and distinctions like this are not that simple, but I suppose in this case if they were defending themselves against Nazi invaders, I don't see why a portion of Soviets cannot be considered good guys or heroes at least in this instance.
But even if it wasn't - do you not think its a bit far fetched all the stuff that Hauer's character managed to accomplish in this as well as how SPOILER - somehow the kid magically figures it out towards the end and forces that cop to stop and leave the car?
Even if it at least partially WAS that, the film is still much better than that slice of mediocrity with or without its twist. :) And RIP Julian Sands in any case though who sadly passed away last year.
P.S. Hope my PM didn't trouble you too much BUT DID explain (explain being the key word) why I didn't start it on THE main film's board page - but please don't tell anybody lol (they probably know already).
Oh, I see, I thought or rather, I wondered if something akin to a video chat was possible. :)
Haha, that is a good one, I too at times got reminded of vacuum cleaner here, I was wondering however, do pets also have a feeling for or even of emptiness, i.e. vacuum, like discussed here, just curious, thanks.
And will I be welcome once for a correspondence with someone, cheers.
Anyone got Skype? Or Facebook, lol...
