Interesting article here on trolling:
https://news.byu.edu/intellect/whats-in-a-troll-byu-research-examines-motives-of-internet-trolling#:~:text=Through%20an%20online%20survey%20completed,more%20likely%20to%20demonstrate%20trolling
"Through an online survey completed by over 400 Reddit users, the study found that individuals with dark triad personality traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy) combined with schadenfreude – a German word meaning that one derives pleasure from another’s misfortune – were more likely to demonstrate trolling behaviors."
There's a good chance that you're a dangerous person, Guy. The type who might hurt people. You might want to talk to someone.
She was mentally unstable. Religion was just her vehicle. Being religious does not equate to mental instability.
I give up. I can't name just one.
Serious question (and I mean no disrespect): where are you able to find the time to make these long, frivolous, facetious posts? Mind you, these are not the kinds of posts I would make even if time allowed, but that's neither here nor there. A person is allowed to use his or her time as he or she sees fit, even if it seems from the outside looking in as a complete waste. No, my curiosity is more focused on where the time comes from. My work demands a lot of attention. I'm well-paid for what I do, but I can't imagine taking the time to concoct such posts. I suppose I could use some of my free time, but that's very, very valuable to me.
Jobless? Laid off? Heir to a fortune, or at least a comfortable amount of money?
No hobbies? No volunteer work? No family obligations?
Again, no offense intended. Just curious is all.
I don't think it's fair to say that Neil's parents "never loved him." They were clearly devastated. His father honestly believed he had Neil's best interest at heart. He probably considered it a kind of tough love. Acting was frivolous, in his estimation. Neil was too young to know what was best for him and would certainly thank his father later in life, so I'm sure he thought.
An absence of love would have meant Neil could have done whatever he damn well pleased.
It was misguided. But it was love.
Ellie, Ellie, Ellie. No contest. Not even close.
Yikes! I just skimmed through parts but it looks terrifying.
"We ask ourselves again today: could OUR generation sacrifice itself like that?"
Times make the people. Your generation hasn't been challenged (fortunately). But I have no doubt that in the right circumstances, you'd step up. It's what people do.
I remember catching "Life with Bonnie" a few times when it came out. I'm thinking it was Friday nights? I could be wrong, but I remember thinking that she was really talented and funny. And then suddenly the show was gone.
Why isn't she a bigger star? People are stupid, that would be my guess.
This. Why in God's name would someone willingly take either side, and do so with such fervor. People. Can't figure 'em out.
I heard it was a pizza parlor under a child sex brothel. And the pepperoni was made of turkey! Fake toppings! And yet the liberal media never mention this! The Democrats can get away with fake toppings and, for all we know, store-bought dough! Store-bought! Mike Lindell did a whole special about it. He has Hillary on tape saying, "Yeah, we figured nobody would notice and it'll mean an extra couple bucks profit on each pie." Of course the tape was lost (he left it in a jacket that got Martinized) but, I tell you, this is some serious shit that NOBODY is talking about! God help us all.
Oh, man, I didn't know they had it broken down like that. I've been watching "Coverage of the Twentieth Century as it Happened" and I feel like I'll never get to World War II.
Watched it last night. Loved it. Man, they don't make 'em like Nolan anymore.
"Should have" or "should've."
Let's not forget Stan Sitwell and his unfortunate alopecia.
Nope. I'm going to have to watch it on Amazon Prime. $3.99.
Thanks, everybody. Interestingly enough, Netflix reminds me that I watched Breathless in July of 2015. I have little memory of it, which doesn't say great things about the film. But who knows? It was seven years ago. I probably had something on my mind that night and wasn't focused.
Nevertheless, I think I'm going to try Pierrot le Fou.
I like a "small," slice-of-life film as much as the next guy, but I think to enjoy this one, you had to be captivated by the main characters. I was not. Moreover, I felt their relationship seemed flat. For me, of course. If you found the characters "extremely likeable," then I can see how you might feel differently. This one was a swing and a miss for me.
Yes, I got this. I thought it was all pretty obvious. But it was a long, very over-the-top, too-clever-for-its-own-good way of presenting it.
Not my cup of cha.
This is an excellent summation. I give it props for the sheer amount of effort that obviously went into it, but it just lost my attention. "In your face craziness" is a good way to put it. Sensory overload, I would say. After a while it became meaningless. There was essentially no narrative arc. Two hours and twelve minutes that seemed like twice that.
